To reset the EVs of a Pokémon, you can do this by using EV-Reducing Berries. These berries can reduce a specific EV by 10. Through this, it is possible to readjust its stats. The particular berries with their corresponding reduced EV are as follows:

  • Pomag Berry – HP
  • Kelpsy Berry – Attack
  • Qualot Berry – Defense
  • Hondew Berry – Special Attack
  • Grepa Berry – Special Defense
  • Tamato Berry – Speed

There are two ways to gather EV-Reducing Berries. One way is to collect from sparkling spots. Some areas have a higher likelihood of having EV-Reducing Berries. However, not all sparkling spots are EV-Reducing Berries, but it is bound to come out if you are eager to collect them.
