Good work for 10 minutes. Keep Ralts on your team and breed it when you have the chance to get a proper Gardevoir, as the Pokemon you take through the game get their EV's messed up by all the trainer battles.

You can EV train your Pokemon early on, but it'll just take a very long time.

You can get HP EVs by battling Wurmple. (Common)
You can get Attack EVs by battling Poochyena. (Common)
You can get Defense EVs by battling Seedot. (Rare)
You can get SpAtk EVs by battling Ralts. (Rare)
You can get SpDef EVs by battling Lotad. (Common)
You can get Speed EVs by battling Zigzagoon. (Common)

Most of these can be found before fighting your first trainer battle (aside from May, but that'll only be 1 EV and won't screw your training up at all), save Ralts.

Current team in Diamond:

Tyranitar
Garchomp
Metagross
Swampert
Crobat
Gyarados

All Lv. 100.

If you think about it, properly training a team of six Pokemon can take a very long time. I would rather keep the same six as opposed to having to keep training new ones to level 50 (minimum).

Anyway, to johnnykenny1234, to find out about EV's, go to https://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/game/921905.html and click on the FAQ entitled "EV Points FAQ." I would post a direct link but GameFAQs have rules against hotlinking directly to FAQ's.

 

[ShadowTails]

On my Ruby Rom now (=P I have the game in real life but now I'm done on it and soft reseting for a shiny Torchic... Skeptical I know...) I'm actually kinda thinking of trying this on my real game after I get my starter.
I've got a mixed Team, I usually carry around 5 Zigzagoons to pick up items for me.
I'm using off natured Pokemon to fight trainers so I can EV train my other Pokemon.
Currently I'm fighting Winona with my Altaria (level 37) and my 5 Zigzagoons
The other Pokemon I'm using include Breloom(level 36) Masquerain (level 36) Torkoal(level 36) I'm looking for more to use, but those have gotten me through the entire game, and I've had a max of 2 on the team at a time so far. In the Pokemon League I'm going to use them all. (I'm probably going to catch some other Pokemon, raise them up, and EV raise more of my Pokemon.)
my current EV training includes
Grovyle Hasty
1 Attack
1 Defense
Sp Atk. 20
Speed 116
Zubat Adamant
1 Def
100 Attack
30 Speed

Fair enough, but I think you should replace Blissey with Regice, as a properly trained Regice can have a Sp. Def of 467, it is resistant to water, and gets STAB on Ice Beam, as well as having a decent movepool. That and it might as well be neutral to fire as my Kyogre takes more damage from fire attacks than my Regice does and they're both level 100.
BTW I just noticed something in your first post I replied to, you can buy Leftovers at the Battle Frontier and they cost 16 Battle Points (BP).

Eh... I think I'll keep Blissey though I'll probably EV train my Regice as well, as it happens to be Modest with perfect Sp.Attack and Sp.Defense. However, the reason why I prefer Blissey more is because of its massive HP stat, which compensates for the Sp.Defense that's slightly lower than Regice's. Blissey, also, despite its abysmal Defense takes physical hits better and most importantly, Blissey has Heal Bell to support the rest of the party, whereas Regice just walls. Blissey is also more useful in Diamond and Pearl than Regice and since I'm planning to use my Blissey in online battles once I get Diamond, Blissey stays. And I am quite aware of the fact that you can buy Leftovers from the Battle Frontier, (though IIRC they cost something like 48 BP and not 16. I'm sure it isn't 16, but I'm not sure what the exact cost is) but I see no point in buying more Leftovers when the Battle Frontier has that stupid item clause.

And because I actually bothered posting here I might as well post my 7th EV trained Pokémon in my new Emerald save: (yes, I've only posted 5 so far, but my Solrock that I EV trained for no apparent reason sucks, I won't bother typing its moveset down)

Metagross @ Shell Bell ** Marvin
Adamant Nature
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 204 HP, 176 Attack, 128 Sp.Def

- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
- Reflect

I wanted a bulkier Metagross build than the standard sweeper sets so I used this. Shadow Ball is simply for the Battle Frontier and will be replaced with something more useful when I migrate it to Diamond.

This isn't a 4th generation ''Your Pokémon Team thread'', hence why it's in the Advance Generation section. And even though I can't be bothered rating your movesets at the moment, I'll let you know they need some serious work.

 

[shadowedness]

Fair enough, I haven't played D/P yet as they aren't released in Europe so I don't know what's useful.

Well, join the club. =P I live in Europe as well and haven't imported, but I've been studying D/P competitive battling to pass time.

And in a lame attempt to make this post on topic, I'll post my Firered team (that has already been traded to Emerald, but still.)

Charizard
Dragonite
Cloyster

the movesets suck so badly there's no point in posting them. They're half-decent, but since they're going to sit in my box for all eternity and might be used as breeding tools their moves don't matter.

MY NEW TEAM! Pokemon Ruby Groudon Level 86, Pelipper 77, Crobat 66,Salamance 79...Yea thats it I dont need a 5th or 6th pokemon! :)

Try competitive battling and this will happen: Steelix makes Crobat cry; any decent Water/Ice Pokemon will obliterate Salamence and Groudon; and as for Pelipper, its stats are so crap (minus Def) that it can be taken down by nearly anything that is 10 levels below it. Also, Groudon and all legendaries are banned in competitive battling so there goes what I'm presuming is your strongest Pokemon. If I sound harsh I aplogise, but it's only because you need to realise that your team is not as good as you think. I made the same mistake many times until I realised about 3-4 months ago.
Now for some advice, ditch Groudon and Pelipper. Breed Salamence and Crobat and EV train them. Then read the FAQ about Pokemon movesets on GameFAQS under Pokemon Emerald. It tells you everything you need about putting together a good team. Good Luck.
