Turtlekid2 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) My first game-related guide. Hope it helps! To start things off: Have you ever seen a fully-trained Pokemon (while trading, battling, etc.) with some stats positively monstrous, and others below-average? Odds are this Pokemon's trainer has EV trained it. What is EV training? EV training, to put it basically, is influencing your Pokemon's stats by controlling the opponents they battle. There's more to it than that, which we'll get to in due time. What are EVs? Effort Values, or "EVs" for short, are points your Pokemon receives when it is victorious against its opponent (most Pokemon give anywhere from 1-3 effort values in a given stat, although some Pokemon give EVs in multiple stats). When your Pokemon gets four EVs in any one stat, that maximum stat will get one point added to it. So that means I can have my Wobbuffet fight loads of Pokemon that give HP EVs, and it'll get an HP bonus of like, +100 the next time it levels up? Wrong on both counts. You see, there is a limit of 510 total EVs any Pokemon can have, with 255 is the most they can have in any one stat. Divided by 4, 255 is 38 (with a remainder of 3), meaning your Pokemon is getting 38 extra stat points at the most. However, since you need 4 EVs to get one stat point, there are three wasted EVs if there are 255 in that stat; you get the same stats with 252 EVs, except you can use the extra three in another stat. Thus, the most common distribution of EVs is 252 in one stat, 252 in another stat, and 6 in one more stat. There are 2 wasted EVs here, but it's still better than wasting 6 of them. My next point to make is that the stat points they get from EVs won't be given all at once the next time they level up. They're distributed evenly from the point your Pokemon got the EVs to when they reach level 100. If you caught your Pokemon at a higher level, you might notice some larger stat bonuses upon level up when you EV train them. This is to make up for all the stat points that normally would have been distributed more evenly, had you caught the Pokemon at a lower level. So how do I know which Pokemon give which EVs? There is a complete list here (thanks to NeoDraven for compiling this massive list). For example, Gastly give 1 EV in Special Attack. So, you'll need to fight 4 Gastly to get one stat point point in Special Attack. If you've been following me so far, this is where you may start to freak out. I don't want to fight 252 Gastly to fill up my Special Attack EVs! That's tedious! This is where you can stop freaking out. You know the Macho Brace item? This item doubles the EVs you get for defeating a Pokemon. For those of you who haven't done the math already, that means you'll only have to fight 126 Gastly to max out your EVs in Special Attack. Still sound daunting? Never fear! You may or may not have also heard about Pokerus, the Pokemon virus. This virus is actually beneficial; while rare, it also doubles the amount of EVs you gain. Combine the Macho Brace and Pokerus (if you can get it), and you'll only have to fight 63 Gastly! That's only 1/4 of the original 252. BUT: I'm not done! You know those vitamins you find all over the place, or in the Veilstone Department Store? These give your Pokemon 10 EVs in a stat. For example, giving your Gyarados a Protein will give it 10 EVs in Attack. Each vitamin will say in its description which stat it boosts. Note that after your Pokemon has 100 EVs in a stat, vitamins will not work on it. Not only does this mean there is a maximum of 10 vitamins that you can give your Pokemon for one stat, it also means that if you've already fought 100 Attack EVs' worth of Pokemon, you can't use your Protein on that Gyarados. Combine vitamins, the Macho Brace, and Pokerus, and you go from having to fight 252 Gastly to max out your Special Attack EVs, to only having to fight 38! Now, there are other Pokemon that give more EVs than 1. For example, if you combine all these factors and fight Golducks (which give 2 Special Attack EVs), you'll only have to defeat 19. Good deal! That covers the gist of it. Now for some of the finer points. How do I keep track of the EVs I've gotten? This is where the Poketch App "Counter" really shines. No longer must you keep track with a pencil and paper, just use this handy little App to count how many EVs you've gotten. Press the plus button below the display to count up by one. You can either count the number of EVs, or the number of Pokemon you've fought, if you've already figured out how many to KO. Where is the best place to train the ________ stat? This is mostly a matter of trial and error, and many people disagree about where the best EV training hotspots are. Here are some places I like to use. HP: Route 221, near the Pal Park--there are a lot of Gastrodons; 2 HP EVs for each one you defeat. Attack: The southern part of Route 212 has Kricketune and Bibarel for 2 Attack EVs each. Defense: Try Iron Island. There are Graveler, Steelix, Geodude, and Onix for 2, 2, 1, and 1 EVs respectively. Special Attack: The Old Chateau near Eterna City has only Gastly. There are also Haunter and Gengar if you have a Gen. III game in your GBA slot. Special Defense: Route 223 North of Sunyshore City has lots of Tentacruel and Mantyke for 2 and 1 EVs, respectively. Speed: The ponds in the National Dex area in Victory Road have almost exclusively Golbat, for 2 Speed EVs. The Pokemon I was fighting used Explosion/SelfDestruct! Will I still get EVs from it? As long as your Pokemon survived. Will other trainers' Pokemon give EVs? Not in the Battle Tower or over Wi-Fi battles, but otherwise, yes. Help! My Pokemon has EVs I don't want it to have! Not to worry, Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, and Tamato berries will each lower the EVs of your Pokemon in their respective stats by 10 (the opposite effect of vitamins). Thus, I find it handy to keep a large stock of these berries around. Are rare candies bad? Not as long as your Pokemon has already been EV'd. How do I get Pokerus? (Thanks to Pender for typing this up) To get a Pokemon infected with Pokerus, you have to make it battle wild Pokemon. Each wild Pokemon has a small chance of having the virus. To catch Pokerus, your Pokemon has to use moves that make physical contact with the wild Pokemon (like Tackle). Once your Pokemon is infected, there will be a purple PKRS sign in your Pokemon's summary page, and the nurse at the Pokemon Center will give you a brief blurb on Pokerus next time you heal the infected Pokemon. To spread Pokerus to other Pokemon on your team, make the infected Pokemon fight more battles. The other Pokemon in your party will have a chance of catching Pokerus. The Pokemon in the second slot of your team has the highest chance, and the others have a smaller chance of catching it. There is only a certain amount of time that your Pokemon will be able to spread Pokeurs to other Pokemon. You'll know that time is up when the PKRS sign is replaced by a smiley face icon in your Pokemon's summary page. For that reason it's a good idea to infect as many Pokemon as you can, even ones you never plan on using, and just keep them in storage (since that freezes the countdown for the Pokemon to be cured) so that you effectively have several viral incubators that you can use in the future to infect Pokemon that you want to EV train. Also, even when a Pokemon is cured of Pokerus, it will still continue to receive the EV doubling benefit of the virus, it just can't spread it anymore. I've heard talk of "Power Items"...? (again, thanks to Pender) The power items function similarly to the Macho Brace, cutting your Pokemon's speed in half during battle and influencing EV gain, but instead of simply doubling the number of EVs you receive, they add 4 EVs to the total depending on which one you're holding. Power Weight= HP Power Bracer= Attack Power Belt= Defense Power Lens= Special Attack Power Band= Special Defense Power Anklet= Speed This actually leads to a higher EV gain per battle than with the Macho Brace, especially if your Pokemon has Pokerus. To continue with the Gastly example, a Pokemon equipped with the Power Lens with Pokerus will receive 10 Special Attack EVs after defeating one, rather than 4 from the Macho Brace, since the EV doubling effects of Pokerus are applied after the four EVs from the Power Lens are added to the 1 EV you get from the Gastly. Also, if you are holding, say the Power Anklet when you fight the Gastly, you will get 2 Special Attack EVs (1 from Gastly doubled by Pokerus) and eight Speed EVs (the Power items give you their four EVs no matter what Pokemon you fight, and will still be doubled by Pokerus even if the Pokemon you fight didn't give you a corresponding EV point. So if you fight something that gives you 3 EVs in a particular stat, and you are wearing the Power item for the same stat, and have Pokerus, then you'll receive a whopping 14 EVs from that fight! I hope this was an adequate explanation and that I didn't get anything wrong (feel free to correct me if I did). I'm not sure if this spoiler thing was necessary, but I may as well use it. Oh, and one last thing. You can buy the Power items from the Battle Frontier shop (16 BP each). How about some more details about vitamins? (thanks to Ninja Soldier Raiden) 1x Carbos = 10 evs for Speed 1x Protein = 10 evs for Attack 1x Calcium = 10evs for SP attack 1x Zinc = 10 evs for SP defence 1x Iron = 10evs for Defence 1x HP UP = 10 evs for HP That's about all I can think of regarding the subject. If anyone has any suggestions about the guide, PM me. Edited April 9, 2009 by Turtlekid2 Improvements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja_Soldier_Raiden Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I suggest adding the item potion like this The Vitamins 1x Carbos = 10 evs for Speed 1x Protein = 10 evs for Attack 1x Calcium = 10evs for SP attack 1x Zinc = 10 evs for SP defence 1x Iron = 10evs for Defence 1x HP UP = 10 evs for HP Remember. you can only do 10... in the first post give credit if you like ..

pokemonfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) OMG THAT GUIDE WAS GOOD! I THINK I GET IT NOW. THANKS TO YOUR EASY TO UNDERSTAND GUIDE, SHORT AND TO THE POINT, AND USE OF PROPER MATH TO SHOW WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO! AMAZING! I already covered items/vitamins in the guide... Quote by second poster: "I suggest adding the item potion like this The Vitamins 1x Carbos = 10 evs for Speed 1x Protein = 10 evs for Attack 1x Calcium = 10evs for SP attack 1x Zinc = 10 evs for SP defence 1x Iron = 10evs for Defence 1x HP UP = 10 evs for HP Remember. you can only do 10... in the first post give credit if you like .." Turtlekid2 I skimmed your guide briefly to see if I can back you up and well I will say that you did mention them but you really only touched the surface on those items. What the other person did (srry forgot the name) was far more elaborating on the game. So you could edit your post adding that list in and give credit to the poster who brought the awareness to your guide. Now I've read it though that was my first post. This part was an edit. PS. I'm sorry that your first two post comments had to be like this I really do think that it is a good guide Edited April 9, 2009 by pokemonfan I finished reading the guide actually and I wanted to comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of feel sorry for Turtlekid 2 for being negated all this time. I'll make sure to remember that though pender. Ps. your name is nice and short easy to remember!

darklord Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 hey everyone just 1 question how exactly do you infect your pokemon ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, even when a Pokemon is cured of Pokeurs, it will still continue to receive the EV doubling benefit of the virus, it just can't spread it anymore. Once again, good information but you did leave out a few things. For one the chance of actually battling a pokemon with pokerus is just a bit higher then finding a shiny pokemon in the wild. I would use pokesav to get it onto a pokemon. Now spreading pokerus is easy I developed a technique for it here it is: Member 1: pokerus Member 2 Member3: Member 4: Member 5: Member 6: So Member 1 has pokerus have it battle a few times then member 2 should get it which is perfect. Once member 2 has it then switch member 2 and member three around so it will look like this Member 1: pokerus Member 3: Member 2: Pokerus Member 4: Member 5: member 6: Then battle some more and when member 3 gets pokerus member 4 will too. So then you switch member 3 and member 5. Member 1: pokerus Member 5 Member 2: pokerus Member 4: Pokerus Member 3: pokerus Member 6 Then battle a few more times and all of the pokemon should have pokerus in your party. Be warned at midnight any pokemon with pokerus in your party will be cured at midnight. If the pokemon is in your PC though it wont be cured.

Each wild Pokemon has a small chance of having the virus. To catch Pokerus, your Pokemon has to use moves that make physical contact with the wild Pokemon (like Tackle). Once your Pokemon is infected, there will be a purple PKRS sign in your Pokemon's summary page, and the nurse at the Pokemon Center will give you a brief blurb on Pokerus next time you heal the infected Pokemon. To spread Pokerus to other Pokemon on your team, make the infected Pokemon fight more battles. The other Pokemon in your party will have a chance of catching Pokerus. The Pokemon in the second slot of your team has the highest chance, and the others have a smaller chance of catching it. There is only a certain amount of time that your Pokemon will be able to spread Pokeurs to other Pokemon. You'll know that time is up when the PKRS sign is replaced by a smiley face icon in your Pokemon's summary page. For that reason it's a good idea to infect as many Pokemon as you can, even ones you never plan on using, and just keep them in storage (since that freezes the countdown for the Pokemon to be cured) so that you effectively have several viral incubators that you can use in the future to infect Pokemon that you want to EV train. Also, even when a Pokemon is cured of Pokeurs, it will still continue to receive the EV doubling benefit of the virus, it just can't spread it anymore. Member 1: pokerus Member 2 Member3: Member 4: Member 5: Member 6: So Member 1 has pokerus have it battle a few times then member 2 should get it which is perfect. Once member 2 has it then switch member 2 and member three around so it will look like this Member 1: pokerus Member 3: Member 2: Pokerus Member 4: Member 5: member 6: Then battle some more and when member 3 gets pokerus member 4 will too. So then you switch member 3 and member 5. Member 1: pokerus Member 5 Member 2: pokerus Member 4: Pokerus Member 3: pokerus Member 6 Then battle a few more times and all of the pokemon should have pokerus in your party. Be warned at midnight any pokemon with pokerus in your party will be cured at midnight. If the pokemon is in your PC though it wont be cured. Items: The power items function similarly to the Macho Brace, cutting your Pokemon's speed in half during battle and influencing EV gain, but instead of simply doubling the number of EVs you receive, they add 4 EVs to the total depending on which one you're holding. Power Weight= HP Power Bracer= Attack Power Belt= Defense Power Lens= Special Attack Power Band= Special Defense Power Anklet= Speed This actually leads to a higher EV gain per battle than with the Macho Brace, especially if your Pokemon has Pokerus. To continue with the Gastly example, a Pokemon equipped with the Power Lens with Pokerus will receive 10 Special Attack EVs after defeating one, rather than 4 from the Macho Brace, since the EV doubling effects of Pokerus are applied after the four EVs from the Power Lens are added to the 1 EV you get from the Gastly. Also, if you are holding, say the Power Anklet when you fight the Gastly, you will get 2 Special Attack EVs (1 from Gastly doubled by Pokerus) and eight Speed EVs (the Power items give you their four EVs no matter what Pokemon you fight, and will still be doubled by Pokerus even if the Pokemon you fight didn't give you a corresponding EV point. So if you fight something that gives you 3 EVs in a particular stat, and you are wearing the Power item for the same stat, and have Pokerus, then you'll receive a whopping 14 EVs from that fight! I hope this was an adequate explanation and that I didn't get anything wrong (feel free to correct me if I did). I'm not sure if this spoiler thing was necessary, but I may as well use it. Oh, and one last thing. You can buy the Power items from the Battle Frontier shop (16 BP each).

Turtlekid2 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions, guys. NeoDraven, the reason I didn't include the list of Pokemon and EVs is because it's already elsewhere on the forums, and it would double the length of the guide. I did link to it, however.

pokemonfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Sorry if i am being rude but im just putting every thing posted here together Have you ever seen a fully-trained Pokemon (while trading, battling, etc.) with some stats positively monstrous, and others below-average? Odds are this Pokemon's trainer has EV trained it. What is EV training? EV training, to put it basically, is influencing your Pokemon's stats by controlling the opponents they battle. There's more to it than that, which we'll get to in due time. What are EVs? Effort Values, or "EVs" for short, are points your Pokemon receives when it is victorious against its opponent (most Pokemon give anywhere from 1-3 effort values in a given stat, although some Pokemon give EVs in multiple stats). When your Pokemon gets four EVs in any one stat, that maximum stat will get one point added to it. So that means I can have my Wobbuffet fight loads of Pokemon that give HP EVs, and it'll get an HP bonus of like, +100 the next time it levels up? Wrong on both counts. You see, there is a limit of 510 total EVs any Pokemon can have, with 255 is the most they can have in any one stat. Divided by 4, 255 is 38 (with a remainder of 3), meaning your Pokemon is getting 38 extra stat points at the most. However, since you need 4 EVs to get one stat point, there are three wasted EVs if there are 255 in that stat; you get the same stats with 252 EVs, except you can use the extra three in another stat. Thus, the most common distribution of EVs is 252 in one stat, 252 in another stat, and 6 in one more stat. There are 2 wasted EVs here, but it's still better than wasting 6 of them. My next point to make is that the stat points they get from EVs won't be given all at once the next time they level up. They're distributed evenly from the point your Pokemon got the EVs to when they reach level 100. If you caught your Pokemon at a higher level, you might notice some larger stat bonuses upon level up when you EV train them. This is to make up for all the stat points that normally would have been distributed more evenly, had you caught the Pokemon at a lower level. So how do I know which Pokemon give which EVs? There is a complete list here. For example, Gastly give 1 EV in Special Attack. So, you'll need to fight 4 Gastly to get one stat point point in Special Attack. If you've been following me so far, this is where you may start to freak out. I don't want to fight 252 Gastly to fill up my Special Attack EVs! That's tedious! This is where you can stop freaking out. You know the Macho Brace item? This item doubles the EVs you get for defeating a Pokemon. For those of you who haven't done the math already, that means you'll only have to fight 126 Gastly to max out your EVs in Special Attack. Still sound daunting? Never fear! You may or may not have also heard about Pokerus, the Pokemon virus. This virus is actually beneficial; while rare, it also doubles the amount of EVs you gain. Combine the Macho Brace and Pokerus (if you can get it), and you'll only have to fight 63 Gastly! That's only 1/4 of the original 252. BUT: I'm not done! You know those vitamins you find all over the place, or in the Veilstone Department Store? These give your Pokemon 10 EVs in a stat. For example, giving your Gyarados a Protein will give it 10 EVs in Attack. Each vitamin will say in its description which stat it boosts. Note that after your Pokemon has 100 EVs in a stat, vitamins will not work on it. Not only does this mean there is a maximum of 10 vitamins that you can give your Pokemon for one stat, it also means that if you've already fought 100 Attack EVs' worth of Pokemon, you can't use your Protein on that Gyarados. Combine vitamins, the Macho Brace, and Pokerus, and you go from having to fight 252 Gastly to max out your Special Attack EVs, to only having to fight 38! Now, there are other Pokemon that give more EVs than 1. For example, if you combine all these factors and fight Golducks (which give 2 Special Attack EVs), you'll only have to defeat 19. Good deal! That covers the gist of it. Now for some of the finer points. How do I keep track of the EVs I've gotten? This is where the Poketch App "Counter" really shines. No longer must you keep track with a pencil and paper, just use this handy little App to count how many EVs you've gotten. Press the plus button below the display to count up by one. You can either count the number of EVs, or the number of Pokemon you've fought, if you've already figured out how many to KO. Where is the best place to train the ________ stat? This is mostly a matter of trial and error, and many people disagree about where the best EV training hotspots are. Here are some places I like to use. HP: Route 221, near the Pal Park--there are a lot of Gastrodons; 2 HP EVs for each one you defeat. Attack: The southern part of Route 212 has Kricketune and Bibarel for 2 Attack EVs each. Defense: Try Iron Island. There are Graveler, Steelix, Geodude, and Onix for 2, 2, 1, and 1 EVs respectively. Special Attack: The Old Chateau near Eterna City has only Gastly. There are also Haunter and Gengar if you have a Gen. III game in your GBA slot. Special Defense: Route 223 North of Sunyshore City has lots of Tentacruel and Mantyke for 2 and 1 EVs, respectively. Speed: The ponds in the National Dex area in Victory Road have almost exclusively Golbat, for 2 Speed EVs. The Pokemon I was fighting used Explosion/SelfDestruct! Will I still get EVs from it? As long as your Pokemon survived. Will other trainers' Pokemon give EVs? Not in the Battle Tower or over Wi-Fi battles, but otherwise, yes. Help! My Pokemon has EVs I don't want it to have! Not to worry, Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, and Tamato berries will each lower the EVs of your Pokemon in their respective stats by 10 (the opposite effect of vitamins). Thus, I find it handy to keep a large stock of these berries around. Are rare candies bad? Not as long as your Pokemon has already been EV'd. The Vitamins 1x Carbos = 10 evs for Speed 1x Protein = 10 evs for Attack 1x Calcium = 10evs for SP attack 1x Zinc = 10 evs for SP defence 1x Iron = 10evs for Defence 1x HP UP = 10 evs for HP Remember. you can only do 10...
