Understand the Hexagonal Chart in pokemon sun moon. Learn how blue and yellow shapes represent stats and Effort Values (EVs).
The hidden stat display in pokemon sun moon is geared towards hardcore trainers and can be confusing at first glance. The default view uses a blue shape to represent your Pokemon’s numerical stats, with the shape extending closer to the edge for higher stats. The maximum value the chart can track is 300, though it is possible to exceed this.
Pressing the Y button switches the display to an “advanced” form. In this view, the yellow shape in the middle represents the Pokemon’s species’s stats, while the outer shape represents your Pokemon’s Effort Values (EVs). If the outer shape is orange, your Pokemon can still gain EVs. If it is cyan, the Pokemon has reached its full EV capacity. A shimmering stat indicates that the maximum amount of EVs has been invested into it.
Both stat displays convey similar information, but it's important to note the differences. The default display (blue shape) shows your Pokemon’s stats influenced by Level, species’s stats, IVs, EVs, and Nature. The “advanced” display (yellow and outer shape) only shows two of these influences.
- Pay attention to the color of the outer shape in the advanced display to know if your Pokemon can still gain EVs.
- A shimmering stat in the advanced display confirms that you have invested the maximum EVs into that particular stat.
- The default display provides a more comprehensive view of all stat influences, while the advanced display isolates species stats and EVs.
