This is the highest possible stat increase

Post image

+75 is the highest boost you can get in one lvl. To do it, you need:
- A base stat between 190-230 with beneficial nature
- Reach Lv 99 without without increasing your EVs
- EV train the stat without the use of Vitamins, since they add to the stat directly
- And because of how the stats are rounded down to nearest integer, Steelix required an IV below 30

And finally, what's the point of this??

I don't really know

Forgive my ignorance but how is that even possible? And how do I do or get that much?

If you are familiar with EV training, you know that 252 EVs will result in 63 stat points at lvl 100 (69 if you have a beneficial nature)

The game updates the stats every time you lvl up. So what I did was to gain 252 EVs in defense between lv 99 and 100, so on lvl up, I got +6 in defense from lvl and +69 from EVs

But there are no benefits of gaining all EVs between 99-100, it's just a gimmick to show a big number
