    1 <p>This is simple at the moment, just to get it out there..  since I kinda want to use it too.  Better instructions for non-nerds and more functionality coming shortly.</p>

     66<h1>Instructions and Notes</h1> 
     67<p>First of all, the calculator <em>will not work</em> if you have trained your Pok&eacute;mon and not recorded its EVs.  Training accumulates effort, and effort affects stats.  No calculator can guess how much effort you have!  Your only option at this point is to stuff your Pok&eacute;mon full of EV-reducing Berries until you're sure it has none left.  Read up on <a href="[% c.uri_for('/dex/mechanics/stats') %]">stat mechanics</a> for more.</p> 
     68<p>If your Pok&eacute;mon is very low-level and you can't get an exact figure, you have several options.</p> 
     69<ul> 
     70    <li>The best option by far is to find a bored friend, enter a L100 wifi battle, then check the Pok&eacute;mon's stats.  These are the stats the Pok&eacute;mon <em>would</em> have at level 100 -- complete with no EVs -- and the calculator will work fine on them.</li> 
     71    <li>Barring that, you can save your game, feed the Pok&eacute;mon a few Rare Candies, check its stats, then reset.  Rare Candy does not bestow any EVs, so it will not affect the calculations.</li> 
     72    <li>You may also simply train the Pok&eacute;mon as usual, manually counting up the EVs it accumulates.  The easiest way to do this is to give it an EXP Share (or switch it out) against a very high-level Pok&eacute;mon, such as one from the Elite Four.  It will most likely gain several levels but few enough EVs that they may not even affect its stats at all.</li> 
     73</ul>

     75<h2>Columns</h2> 
     76<dl class="compact"> 
     77    <dt>Base</dt> 
     78    <dd>The Pok&eacute;mon's base stats, as determined by its species.</dd> 
     79    <dt>Stat Range</dt> 
     80    <dd>The range of possible stats this species of Pok&eacute;mon can have at the given level with the given nature and EVs.  A stat with a +10% nature boost will be highlighted green, whereas a stat with a -10% nature penalty will be highlighted red.</dd> 
     81    <dt>Possible IVs</st> 
     82    <dd>A range of possible IVs for your Pok&eacute;mon; the lower the level, the more possibilities, so this range will usually be wider.</dd>
