Abbreviation meanings and other lingo

You should add IV's and EV's as those often confuse people who don't do competitive play with Pokémon

IVs - Individual values (rarely referred to as DVs) these reflect how high Pokémon's stats are compared to others in the same species, These range from 0-31 with 31 often being reffered to as 'best'. For example a Gligar with 31 IVs in attack would have a higher attack stat than a Gligar with 0 IVs in attack at the same level.

EVs - Effort values, these positively affect a Pokémons stats and can be raised on individual Pokémon either through battle or through special drinks given to the Pokémon when they play in the Poké pelago. Pokémon can have a maximum of 252 EVs in one stat and a maximum of 510 spread between all 6 stats.
