Power Weight

Power Weight is a held item in the Pokémon series that specifically affects the growth and development of a Pokémon's stats. When a Pokémon holds a Power Weight, it gains additional HP effort values (EVs) with each Pokémon it defeats in battle, regardless of the species fought. This makes it an invaluable item for trainers who aim to optimize their Pokémon's HP stat more efficiently during EV training.

Effects: 1. HP EV Gain: Every Pokémon defeated while holding a Power Weight yields an extra 8 HP EVs in addition to the normal EVs gained from the battle. 2. Reduced Speed: In exchange for the increased EV gain, the Power Weight reduces the holder's Speed stat by halving it during battle. This trade-off makes the item less useful in competitive battles but ideal for EV training.

Interesting Facts: - Introduced in Generation IV: The Power Weight was first introduced in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games, part of the wider introduction of Power
