Wow, DVs and Stat XP. You really do know your stuff. Kudos to you.

Unfortunately, with all the new changes made the the DV, and stat XP system (not to mention all the other things added) all the Gameboy/Gameboy Color games are incompatible with the GBA/DS games.

DVs haven't changed that much. All that's changed is that they're now called IVs and that they have a max of 31 instead of 15 and that HP is no longer dependent on the other IVs.

There is a way to know what your EVs (stat XP) are, but you need to know your DV/IVs first. Just plug them and your Pokemon's stats into this and hit "Calculate EPs required".

Does this help?

I don't know what DVs are, I guess it's the older versions' version of EVs, IVs.

IVs are stats randomly generated when you first catch a pokemon. 31 IVs are best while 0 are worst. IVs are added onto your pokemon's base stats.

EVs are stats you gain by battling. You can have a max of 510 EVs, however, only 508 of that will actually be used, because for every 4 EVs you gain, you gain 1 stat point. You can have a max of 252 EVs in one stat, tacking another 63 stat points to a stat, if my math is correct. Each pokemon you battle gives a different number and type of EVs. Look up pokemon on sites such as Serebii.net to see which pokemon drop what kind of EVs.

Ninja'd.

 

[Myles]

One thing people always fail to mention, which causes mass confusion, is that its 1 extra stat point at level 100 (0.5 at level 50, 0.25 at level 25 and so on).

But really the main difference between EVs and stat XP is that each species Pokemon is set to give certain EVs instead of just automatically giving their base stats.

Does this help?

Yeah that really cleared things up, and why I didn't understand what ev and iv was xD
But... ah :( both my older versions are useless.

since i have your attention, another quick question.
btw: this isn't exactly diamond related
i'm glad that the creators where able to fix the clone glitch when switching boxes thing. they did a really nice job on that in diamond. anyways, does ruby/sapphire/emerald have that fixed also? since they're compatible with the pal, park both games kind of have to be clone-glitch-free.

if not, i can just swing by my friends house (still plays pokemon) and pick up his sapphire (actually it mighta been an emerald, but i know it wasn't a ruby) and abuse the heck out of master ball cloning. because that jumpy little devil mesprit is uncatchable and i want to save my 1 masterball for arceus when i go to toys r us in 2 saturdays

I need some help with PKRS

I have two pokemon that are pokerus infected, and i put them in my pc cause i have no idea what to do... should i try my hand at EV training? or what? it isnt terribly hard is it?

and also isnt there a way to spread it to other pokemon?

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Now is the time to do EV training, because you get double EV points and it goes a lot faster. To spread Pokerus, keep one infected Pokemon in your party and go battle, As you battle, the Pokerus will spread to other members in your party. The Pokerus "goes away" in 2-3 days, meaning that you'll still enjoy its benefits, but it will no longer spread.

Keep that second infected Pokemon in your PC because Pokerus will remain active indefinitely as long as it's in your PC storage. Take it out only when you want to infect other Pokemon. As for EV training itself, it's not hard. Just defeat Pokemon that give you the EV's you want and run from everything else. Make sure that the Pokemon you want to EV train either holds the Exp. Share or appears sometime during each battle.

 

[TheDeadpool]

thanks... so theres no like balance to keep in with the evs?

Ugh, I have given Riolu the Soothe Bell, battled him many times, gave him poffins, berries, etc. I CAN'T EVOLVE HIM!? Help.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Riolu evolves when it has max happiness during the Daytime. Either make sure it's day or level it up more, massages at Veilstone/Resort Area, use healing items, and walk around with it more. Also, Poffins do not affect happiness.

Where can i walk around with it?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Just by walking/running/biking like you usually do. (The Underground doesn't count)

[Hatenko]

technically, all are obtainable. however, it can be a grueling task including waiting for events, trading over, pal parking, and more.

 

[MechaTrickster]

I still think unown should be a legendary ):< and yes they are all obtainable, its really easy if youve been a pokemon fan for years and have a gamecube with its games gba generation and metal/color game. Which I think very little people have, so if you dont have that, let the stress begin!

 

[Fenrir Reki]

I think it is. Im not too sure though but im guessing you get most of them though gts or from your gba pokemon games.

 

[Dialga812]

hey I have a question..
well how come everytime im trying to play the mini games in wifi plaza
it never sign me in like I've waited 45 sec or soo but
it always say "sorry you can't join in..." or "there's no members sign in.."
its been like that for two days now and im really annoyed..please help ​

 

[The Roshi]

Maybe there truly is nobody to play with.
If your game is counterfeit maybe that could be an issue.

 

[Myles]

As of this moment Celebi and Arceus (and possibly others) can only legitimately be Japanese I think, although that will soon change.

 

[Dialga812]
