All Mochi Types And Effects¶

Here’s a breakdown of every Mochi type and its corresponding effect to help trainers customize a Pokémon’s EVs (Effort Values):

Mochi Type	Effect
Clever Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Special Defense stat.
Fresh-Start Mochi	Resets all of a Pokemon’s EVs to 0.
Genius Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Special Attack stat.
Health Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s HP stat.
Muscle Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Attack stat.
Resist Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Defense stat.
Swift Mochi	Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Speed stat.

There’s a Mochi for every occasion, even one to completely reset a Pokémons EVs. This comes in very handy for rebuilding already trained Pokémon for a new competitive team strategy or a Tera Raid build. This is a great quality of life improvement to generation nine, with trainers previously relying on berries that knock down 10 EV points per stat at a time. Here’s a breakdown of these berries that can be found at the Porto Marinada Auction, in Gym Challenge Rerun reward and Tera Raid Battle Rewards:

Item	Effect
Grepa Berry	Friendship increase, lowers Special Defense EV by 10 points
Hondew Berry	Friendship increase, lowers its Special Attack EV by 10 points
Kelpsy Berry	Friendship increase, lowers its Attack EV by 10 points
Pomeg Berry	Friendship increase, lowers its HP EV by 10 points.
Qualot Berry	Friendship increase, lowers its Defense EV by 10 points.
