ANOTHER Blog Post from Dlanijer? No Way!
EV Training: So, I've begun to EV Train some Pokemon just for 'practice' when I have my awesome IV, well built VGC team ready! I just wanted to share some thoughts:
0. Set an EV Goal from the very beginning, so you don't mess it up later. Then use a spreadsheet program or regular ol' pen and paper to keep track. Make sure you decide on WHEN to add and ALWAYS follow through. Seems silly, but I screw this up a lot.
1. Get a Dummy Monster and get yourself to Level 3 for the training games. Yeah, worth it.
2. I have a routine to ensure I can always get myself out of a pinch.. like getting really close to my EV Goal.
a. I play the training game.
b1. If I get a medium or large bag, I use that immediately and calculate the amount I receive.
b2. I use SMALL bags to fix mistakes I make or if I get REALLY close - I use the small bags or the lower level training so I don't go over on accident.
c. ALWAYS calculate. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS :D
3. You can essentially EV train all your six Pokemon in under 8 hours easy.. so if you're having trouble in a part of the game (people say this game is super easy.. I have trouble because I'm noob), just EV train the best base stats on a Pokemon.
4. Don't always do 252/252/4.. try setting EVs for a competitive battle, even if you aren't. Yeah, more tedious.. but it may be good practice and very rewarding in the long run.
Side Thought: Weavile has pickpocket as a hidden ability. Weavile's best stats are attack and speed. Mega evolution pokemon require a held item to mega evolve. Mega Evolution Hard Counter, anyone? UPDATE: Guess not :P
