anyway, Effort points can increase your stats very gradually; you get 1-3 of them per fight.
This is how we get effort points.
Fight* and win in a battle > 1-3 depending on the pokemon
Fight* and win in a battle while holding macho badge > 1-3*2 depending on pokemon
*- the pokemon doesn't have to knock it out, it just has to have participated. Also, experience share gives the pokemon thats holding it the same amount; it doesn't split it like it does experience.
Rare candies = Nono if you are trying to get good Effort points. Because it wastes levels, it gives you less oppertunities.
Once your effort points reach 510, you can get the Effort ribbon. This will lock your Effort Value in place, making rare candies safe.
Thanks
