The passage around this formula
…rather than merely add. Writing x for invested Attack EVs and y for invested Speed EVs and relaxing the two internal floors to their continuous approximation for tractability, Garchomp’s Jolly-natured sweep index becomes f(x,y) = (296+x/4)(264+0.275y) , and maximizing it subject to a shared budget x+y=B through a Lagrangian
Learn the underlying idea
A function assigns an output to each allowed input. The expression f(x) means “apply f to x”.
