    i've got a question over EV's. I got a Umbreon a while back from an event in NYC. It's the level 75 one, and i've never used it. So my question is, are there EV's preloaded, or can i still EV train it as i want to?

    If you've never used it in battle, then it won't have any EVs. So yeah, it's a clean slate.

    Also, I love the new poll we have for this thread. :)

    Ok 2 questions

    Simple:

    Ok I see this stupid ass rumor on a Youtube video about how from 1-50 (lv) a poke needs 8 EV points to gain any (boost). Which from my knowledge is a lie. Just asking for clarification.

    Advanced:

    I've got EV training down solid, I'm just working out who gets what training etc. Any who, I was wondering if any one has AIM or something of the sort who is willing to help me out with IV calcs and help me get that in my knowledge Data base. It is annoying as crap trying to get freaking Zapdos HP Ice/grass or w/e. I just need some help in that degree as the guides don't make too much sense. Serebii's formula hurts my brain xD. Help appreciated. Thanks

    • The stat gain derived from EV points is entirely dependent on the pokemon's level, nature and the base stat in question.

    ShoddyBattle is probably the easiest and most convenient Hidden Power Calculator, simply go to the Team Builder and enter the IVs, a HP type and power will show up soon enough.

    Ok well on the IV note, It's not just finding out how to get what Hidden Power and such, it's pretty much I can't figure out how to DETERMINE what number it has.

    I've heard of spread sheets where people show what the number should be. I do realize 31 is really good, etc etc. I just can't figure out HOW TO FIGURE THE NUMBER out. I'm trying to work hard and get a good set up of poke's and stuff.

    You'll have to use one of these programs. The equations are seriously high-level mathematics and it's far easier to plug in the values. Click here for an IV calc, it also tells you the type and strength of your hiddenpower.

    a little question, and one that might be tricky to answer:

    would a focus blast from deoxys-e OHKO your average lucario? if you had modest nature, running expert belt, and 252 speed and spc.att ev's

    • Focus Blast from that Deoxys-E to 4 HP Lucario:

    131.9149% - 155.6738%

    Focus Blast from that Deoxys-E to 252 HP/252 SpD Lucario:

    79.36047% - 94.18605%

    Focus Blast from that Deoxys-E to 252 HP/252 SpD +nature Lucario:

    72.38372% - 85.75581%

    Focus Blast from that Deoxys-E to 4 HP +1 SpD Lucario (CMLucario) :

    88.29787% - 104.6099%

    Unless you're running some weird CMLuke set or trying to use Luke as a special wall (fail) Focus Blast will OHKO.
    Standard Deoxys-E will never run Modest Expert Belt, it runs Hasty Life Orb. The damage only differs by about 2%.
    Standard Deoxys-E will run Superpower > Focus Blast anyway, from standard Deoxys Superpower is an OHKO (at least 102%)

    IV's are individual values, they are locked onto your pokemon when you catch them/hatch them and cannot be changed. they change things such as the hidden power your pokemon has, its stats, if it is shiny or not, and in the case of unown and spinda, changes what it looks like (unowns shape, spindas dots)

    It's worth noting that unless your Pokemon are at a very high level, it's impossible to get completely accurate calculations. And with Hidden Power, you kinda need exact calculations.

    but at least you can determine the type of hidden power, just face differant pokemon and note what it is super effective/ineffective against.

    but the power of the HP is harder to determine, thats when you need to go up to higher levels

    • That's all dependant on whether or not you have the Rare Candies. On legends, they are (usually) up at the level where you can just check them as is.

    When breeding, wifi battles are the most definate way of finding out. From there, you can literally calculate how many IV's they have. If legends you are checkinng, by all means, pump it with sweets.
