    Yeah so that's there for you to keep track of how many EV's you've gotten from hordes so far. So if you're fighting hordes and training one pokemon at a time carring a power item, each horde gives 25 points in a respected EV. And if you're carrying a Macho Brace, each horde will give you 10, and without a training item, each one gives you 5. after that, for stats that you're not maxing out (you'll be hitting some weird ones with Bisharp for sure), you can either Super Train or fight individual Pokemon for precision.

    Some more resources that are useful:

    http://nuggetbridge.com/breeding/beginners-guide-to-ev-training/

    This is a guide from Gen V that goes over the basics of EV training.

    This goes over what effort values you win for each and every Pokemon you can battle.

    ok cool, so I just go to where a horde is for corresponding EV and do I just train 1 pokemon at a time? The bit I didn't get was where it has the tables and has pokerus + macho brace etc etc. I have dyscalculia so I'm very bad at maths, this sort of thing fries my brain. what are the power items too? I have some pokemon with pokerus but not really sure what to do with that neither. I will probably just play through ORAS and then worry about this stuff. if you can break down some of that stuff so I get it though, it would be appreciated.

    So the first thing I'd do if you're gonna be EV training a lot in the future is start collecting Battle Points so that you can get power accessories and a Macho Brace at the Battle Maison. You can get quite a few from the Pokemon Bank and also by winning challenges at the Battle Maison.

    After that it's as simple as following the instructions in this article:

    Maybe I should just start EV training and concentrating and playing through ORAS as thats where it'll all be happening, haha.

    Any tips for EV training? I don't even know where to start now. I'm sure I used to feed them stuff and that did it, just had to keep count. was expensive though.

    That's a really cool sig buddy

    Your team mechanics won't be very accurate without EV Training, but if you want to give them a test drive beforehand, I have a team set up and am online, so shoot me an invite if you're ready.

    hey man, I'll be up for having some practice battles soon, I just need to get my team sorted to a point. I don't need to be fully EV trained just for battle tactics though do I, I'm obviously gonna be losing a lot at first. That being said I do really need to look at getting my proper version of the team finalised. I have a shiny venusaur now but it doesn't know giga drain which is the probably as it's an egg move. I don't really care about having the team functional as shiny, I just want a shiny version of my first team for the trophy case. I'll be using my shiny bisharp and rotom w tho cos they look cool. I'm saving my shiny gengar for an ultras team as it looks best when mega evolved (I have a few shiny gengar actually but I think one is an event and probably doesn't have the most desirable IV spread as I got them all as a bulk deal 98 event pokemon and 54 legends in one sitting, probably the longest trade I've ever done.

    should have my power saves tomorrow too so I'm gonna collect TSv's for shiny hatching.
