According to the guidebook (which I don't currently have but Abcboy does), these values are known as "Go Power". While we ignore the official names of EVs and IVs due to the unofficial names becoming ingrained in the fandom before the official ones were widely used, there's no reason to use the unofficial name for a new kind of stat. --SnorlaxMonster 03:39, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
