Have you ever noticed that some people's Pokemon have some very high stats and some lower than normal? This happens because that person has followed so-called EV training on their pokemon. If you want to get a very strong pokemon too, read this guide.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Breeding Your Pokemon
Step 1. Begin IV training from birth
If you want to get perfect control over your pokemon's EVs, you will need to start from the moment of birth, when its EVs are still at zero. Breed pokemon to get an egg of the species you want, which you can breed and train to the fullest!
Step 2. Use pokemon with good stats to get one with good stats
Since many of the pokemon's starting stats (or IVs) are determined by those of the parents, you will need to use pokemon with good stats to breed a strong one. Make sure you know how to make them reproduce.
Step 3. Check your pokemon's IVs
When you have a couple of newborn pokemon, check their IVs using the "/ iv" command. You will need to type it in the chat box (without the quotes), and the game will show you the Pokemon's IV. Choose the best among the ones you have given birth or when you find one with very good statistics.
Method 2 of 4: Combat EV Training
Step 1. Choose your battles carefully
Whenever your pokemon fights, even if for just one turn, it will gain EV points from that battle. For this reason, you will need to be very careful about using your pokemon in battle, unless you have already maxed out its EVs. Only play the pokemon you are training when you know you are facing a favorable battle.
Each type of pokemon will give your pokemon different EV points when you face it in battle. Learn about the EV points each pokemon awarded and only fight if they are the ones you want
Step 2. Change it if necessary
In the early stages of EV training, your pokemon may not be able to defeat the opponent to get the EV points you want. You can solve this problem in different ways. One method is to get yourself an Experience Share, which when held by a Pokemon, awards it the experience points and EV points gained in battle even if it hasn't fought. Another trick is to only use the pokemon for one turn and then replace it with a stronger one.
Step 3. Fight the right pokemon
Some will only give you one EV point when you face them, while others will give you 3. If you want to train your pokemon quickly try to make it fight with opponents who assign more points to the stats you want to improve.
- For example, facing a Nidoqueen gives you 3 EV points to HP, while facing a Machamp gives you 3 EV points to Attack
- Remember though, that while some may give you a lot of EV points in a particular stat, those pokemon may be hard to find. You may get better results by fighting the ones you can most easily encounter and that give you at least a point or two in the stat you want.
Method 3 of 4: Improve Workout Effectiveness
Step 1. Use vitamins
Vitamins will give your pokemon 10 EV points in a particular stat. You will be able to give your pokemon up to 10 vitamins, thus earning up to 100 EV points (of the 510 you can get). Vitamins cost $ 9800 each.
You can buy vitamins in Mall 9 in Pokemon White or Black
Step 2. Use objects
There are many items you can have your pokemon hold to make them earn EV points faster. The best item is the Macho Bracelet, which doubles the EV points earned but reduces speed. Other items, such as the Powerful Belt and Powerful Weight, only double the points of a single stat but still reduce speed.
Step 3. Try to contract Pokerus
Pokerus is a pokemon virus, which is usually contracted when fighting wild pokemon. When one of your pokemon is affected, it can spread it to others. This virus doubles the EV points you receive from battles and works in conjunction with the other items that increase EV gain. However, your pokemon will only be infected for a certain period of time and will eventually heal.
- Find out if your pokemon has Pokerus by looking at its status.
- Remember that this virus is very rare. You may never meet him.
Step 4. Find and use the wings
Wings are objects that you can find on the Ponte Meraviglioso and Ponte Libeccio. They can raise a stat by one EV point. While they guarantee fewer points than vitamins, there is no limit to their use, so you can use as many as you like.
The downside is that wings only increase one stat and you will find them randomly. It can take a long time to find wings
Step 5. Use the objects from the Solidarity Gallery
You will find several items you can purchase that can boost your EVs. Test items in the Dojo or Café to get your EVs up to 48 points. However, keep in mind that these are very expensive items. Secret Pot A, for example, which gives you 48 EV points for VPs costs $ 72,000!
Step 6. Use rare candies to level up your pokemon
Since the one you're training won't be able to fight much, you'll need to find alternative ways to level him up. The best way to do this is to use rare candies. These items make the pokemon go up 1 level. They cost $ 4800 and you can find them in many different places, depending on the version of your game.
Method 4 of 4: Reset Your EVs to Zero
Step 1. Be careful when resetting your EVs
Each pokemon can only have 510 EV points. Only 252 of these points can be assigned to a single statistic. You may want to reset your EVs if, for example, you've accidentally used the pokemon in a battle or if you've decided to start EV training with one you've already had for some time. However, avoid objects that can lower your EV if that's not your intention.
Step 2. Use the berries
If you are playing Black or White pokemon, you can use berries to reduce your EVs. They work inversely to vitamins, reducing an EV by 10. In Black and White pokemon, however, berries can only be found and grown in the Dream World.
Step 3. Use the objects of the Solidarity Gallery
Here you will find many items that you can purchase to reduce your EVs. Especially choose Beauty Salon items, which will greatly reduce your EVs.
Advice
- It is advisable to start following EV training from the moment you catch a pokemon - every time you make him fight, he will gain EVs.
- In pokemon Diamond and Pearl, there are 6 items (one for each stat) that can be obtained in the Battle Tower which increase the EV earned by 4 times. They are called Powerful objects. The Anklet boosts Speed, the Sash boosts Sp Defense, the Defense Belt, the Bracers the Attack, the Lens Sp Attack, and the Weight the HP.
- To get the Pokerus virus, the best way is to have a friend trade an infected pokemon.
- Most people decide to split EV points like this between stats: 252, 252, and 1 to all others.
- You can have a maximum of 255 EV points in a stat, and 510 points in total.
- Try to increase the EV of your pokemon's best stats. If you play at a competitive level, each of your pokemon will have to play a role and you should maximize the stats you will use. If a pokemon for example already has a high attack value, it's a good idea to maximize its attack's EV points.
Warnings
- Consider the nature of your pokemon before following the EV training. Wasting EVs on a stat reduced by the nature of the pokemon is not a good idea!
- If you are lucky enough to get the Pokerus, be careful, because after about 24 hours in the group, infected pokemon will no longer be able to pass the virus and will no longer be able to contract it. This will be indicated by a small smiley face in the lower right corner of the Pokemon image. They will still retain the effect of doubling the EV, so don't worry. In the PC game, the Pokerus on the other hand remains indefinitely.
- If your EV count has exceeded 100 points and you have lost count, use a berry that can reduce your EVs - Hondew, Grepa, Pomeg, Tamato, Qualot and Kelpsy - to the exact value of 100 EV. This trick only works in Pokemon Emerald.
- Keep track of your EVs or you'll probably have to start over! In pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, use the application that allows you to count them. In other games it's easy if you record them on paper. The only sure way to rate your EVs in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire is to talk to the Commitment Ribbon lady in - she'll give your Pokemon a ribbon if they have all 510 EV points.
- If a Pokemon is level 100, it will not receive EVs, even if it has not already obtained all 510.
