EV Training
What are EVs?
First off, what are EVs is the first question you'll ask. EVs are called Effort Values. Effort Values are given for defeating Pokemon. The Effort Values depend on a Pokemon. For example, Starly gives 1 Speed Effort Value for defeating it. Once you get 4 Effort Values in a stat, it will increase by 1 when you level up. So, if you kill 4 Starlys, you'll get +1 to your speed stat. The maximum EVs a Pokemon can get in a single stat is 255. This will make your stat increase by about 63. When you're level 100, and you've killed Starlys to get 255 speed EVs, and compare yourself to a level 100 who hasn't been EV trained in Speed you'll have about 63 more speed than the other. The maximum EVs you can get total is 510. Meaning you can max out 2 stats on your Pokemon.
How can I speed up EV training?
You might be asking, killing 255 Starlys isn't worth the time of getting the 63 boost in speed. So there are a few items that can boost EV training. The Macho Brace doubles the EVs gained from a Pokemon. When your Pokemon battling another is holding the Macho Brace it will gain double of the EVs that the Pokemon would normally give off. Say you have a Chimchar, and it's fighting a Starly, Chimchar is holding the Macho Brace and it defeats the Starly, the Chimchar will not only get 1 Speed Effort Value, but 2 because it is holding the Macho Brace. There are a few more items that help with EV training as well. I'll list them below.
Items that boost EV training
Power Anklet --- boosts Speed EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give speed EVs the Power Anklet gives +4 in speed. For example, if you defeat a Starly you'll get 5 EVs in speed, one for initially defeating the Starly and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Anklet.
Power Bracer --- boosts Attack EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give attack EVs the Power Bracer gives +4 in attack. For example, if you defeat a Machop you'll get 5 EVs in attack, one for initially defeating the Machop and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Bracer.
Power Weight --- boosts HP EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give HP EVs the Power Weight gives +4 in HP. For example, if you defeat a Bidoof you'll get 5 EVs in HP, one for initially defeating the Bidoof and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Weight.
Power Belt --- boosts Defense EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give Defense EVs the Power Belt gives +4 in Defense. For example, if you defeat a Geodude you'll get 5 EVs in Defense, one for initially defeating the Geodude and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Belt.
Power Lens --- boosts Sp. Attack EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give Sp. Attack EVs the Power Lens gives +4 in Sp. Attack. For example, if you defeat a Ghastly you'll get 5 EVs in Sp. Attack, one for initially defeating the Ghastly and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Lens.
Power Band --- boosts Sp. Defense EV training. When defeating Pokemon who give Sp. Defense EVs the Power Band gives +4 in Sp. Defense. For example, if you defeat a Tentacool you'll get 5 EVs in Sp. Defense, one for initially defeating the Tentacool and four because your Pokemon is holding the Power Band.
Each of these Power Items can be bought at the Battle Tower for 16 Battle Points each.
Those items like Calcium and Iron, it says they boost stats, does that have to do with EV training?
In fact those items do. Every time you use one of those items you get 10 EVs. For example, HP Up, it will give 10 EVs per every one you use. You can only use a maximum of 10 each. If you use 10 HP Ups you'll get 100 EVs in HP, leaving you with only 155 more to go to reach your maximum EVs in HP. The items that boost this are:
HP Up --- Hit points
Protein --- Attack
Iron --- Defense
Carbos --- Speed
Calcium --- Sp. Attack
Zinc --- Sp. Defense
You can find these items throughout the game, Pickup ability, buying them at Veilstone department store for 9,800 each, or using the Dowsing Machine App on your Poketch.
I have a Pokemon holding Exp. Share does it gain EVs too?
Yes the Pokemon holding Exp. Share gains the same EVs as the one who's doing all the battling. If you have a Charizard in the front of your team who's killing Starlys, and you also have a Squirtle in your team holding Exp. Share, both the Charizard and Squirtle will get 1 Speed Effort Value. Now, if you have the Charizard holding Macho Brace, and the Squirtle holding Exp. Share, the Squirtle will not get the same EVs as Charizard. Charizard gets 2 Speed EVs because it is holding Macho Brace, but Squirtle only still gets 1 Speed EV.
I obtained a virus called PokéRus (PKRS) what does it do?
PKRS helps with EV training. When you go to heal your Pokemon at the Pokecenter Nurse Joy tells you it's a virus and will go away eventually. Having PKRS though, is a good thing. It doubles the EVs you get from a battle. It works basically the same as a Macho Brace, but you don't have to have a hold item, it just happens. You can hold items such as Macho Brace and have PKRS at the same time to make EV training even faster, but I'll explain that later.
How do I get PKRS?
PKRS is randomly obtained by defeating wild Pokemon or capturing them. You have a really rare chance of getting PKRS, it's even rarer than finding a shiny Pokemon in the wild, which is a 1 in 8192 chance of seeing one. To keep PKRS for a vast amount of time, put the Pokemon with PKRS in your PC before midnight. This allows it to not go away. You can pass PKRS from one Pokemon to the next. If you have a Pokemon in your first spot of your party and it has PKRS, and you have a Pokemon in the second spot without PKRS, eventually after defeating wild Pokemon the second Pokemon in your party will also get PKRs. Now if you have a Pokemon in the PC with PKRS you could always just pull it out and spread it to someone else to increase EV training.
My Pokemon doesn't have PKRS anymore, instead it has a smiley face in it's stats. What does it mean?
Don't worry, this only means that the PKRS wore off. However you still have the effects of getting double the EVs from a value, you just can't spread PKRS anymore. So that's why it's always great to keep a spare Pokemon in your PC with it who can spread it.
Now, here's where I will explain how the PKRS + Item Combo works.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 1 EV: Macho Brace + PKRS. The Macho Brace doubles the EVs you get from a Pokemon who gives 1 EV, making it 2. Then since you have PKRS, it doubles again making the EVs you get is 4. So from defeating a single Starly while having PKRS and holding Macho Brace you will get 4 Speed EVs.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 1 EV: Power Item + PKRS. The Power Item adds +4 EVs you get from defeating a Pokemon. So if you defeat a Pokemon who gives 1 EV, then add + 4 it's 5 EVs from that single Pokemon. Then you have PKRS, which then doubles the 5 EVs to 10. So by defeating a single Starly, holding the Power Anklet, and having PKRS gives 10 Speed EVs.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 2 EVs: Macho Brace + PKRS. The Macho Brace doubles the EVs you get from a Pokemon who gives 2 EVs, making it 4. Then since you have PKRS, it doubles again making the EVs you get is 8. So from defeating a single Staravia while having PKRS and holding Macho Brace you will get 8 Speed EVs.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 2 EVs: Power Item + PKRS. The Power Item adds +4 EVs you get from defeating a Pokemon. So if you defeat a Pokemon who gives 2 EVs, then add +4 it's 6 EVs from that single Pokemon. Then you have PKRS which then doubles the 6 EVs to 12. So by defeating a single Staravia, holding the Power Anklet and having PKRS gives 12 Speed EVs.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 3 EVs: Macho Brace + PKRS. The Macho Brace doubles the EVs you get from a Pokemon who gives 3 EVs, making it 6. Then since you have PKRs, it doubles again making the EVs you get is 12. So from defeating a single Staraptor while having PKRS and holding the Macho Brace you will get 12 Attack EVs.
Defeating a Pokemon who gives 3 EVs: Power Item + PKRS. The Power Item adds +4 EVs you get from defeating a Pokemon. So if you defeat a Pokemon who gives 3 EVs, then add + 4 it's 7 EVs from that single Pokemon. Then you have PKRS which then doubles the 7 EVs to 14. So by defeating a single Staraptor, holding the Power Bracer and having PKRS gives you 14 Attack EVs.
How do I know how many EVs my Pokemon has?
The only way to know how many EVs your Pokemon has is either by writing it down on a piece of paper and calculating it yourself or using the Counter App. on your Poketch. However, when you are done EV training there is a lady in the Sunnyshore city mart who will give your Pokemon an Effort Ribbon for completing it's EV training.
What level should I start EV training at?
You can EV train at any level, but it's best to start out at a lower level so that you don't have to worry about not being able to EV train at level 100 anymore. When you EV train you don't get all the EVs right when you level up. It spans out until you reach level 100. So once you're level 100 it's almost imposible to EV train. You can EV train, but there's a trick that has to do with your PC, but I'm unsure about it, so we'll leave that out.
I messed up on my EV training, how can I restart?-Well in the game there's special berries that most people call "Correction Berries". These Correction Berries are berries such as Pomeg. It makes a Pokemon happier, but lowers it's HP EVs by 10. You can keep using these berries until you get the message. "Pokemon became friendlier, however it's base HP cannot go lower." That means that your EVs in that stat have been reset to zero and you can EV train again, this time without messing up hopefully.
That basically covers all of EV training. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. :)
