Well, uh, this is kinda of an impossible statlist. D:
A Pokemon can only have a total of 510 EVs to be distributed to stats... Yours has 1530. It can't have max in everything. The most is only two stats.

But, I guess I would recommend giving it a Choice Scarf as a hold item, and 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP in Evs.

thanks but this was only for "in game play" so i downloaded a sav file so it has probably been hacked but i was refering more to the moveset

Uhh, they're stats not EVs. Stats and EVs are very different. Its EVs that can only be maxed out to 510, not stats.

 

[Weavile05]

I'm kinda knew to the whole competetive battling scene, which I am soon to get into. My question is:
Does Baton Pass transfer ALL Stat changes or only POSITIVE Stat changes.
Like if I used Curse and then Baton pass, would it transfer the speed Drop too?

 

[Garrabutártulo]

Yeah, I think it transfers all. It transfers some more things too:
Stockpile effects, charge effects, substitute, confusion, curse, perish song counter, leech seed, ingrain, aqua ring, the higher crit rate (after focus energy, for example), defense curl bonus (for rollout), mean look (and similar)...

 

[Weavile05]

Ok... What pokemon would be reccomended as a revenge killer In OU?

 

[Garrabutártulo]

I think it depends on what are you looking to revenge kill... :s
Most revenge killers have a choiced item, I think XD

 

[Velvex the Øverlørd]

Uhh, they're stats not EVs. Stats and EVs are very different. Its EVs that can only be maxed out to 510, not stats.

I think they knew those were the stats, and not EVs. If you looked, Heracross has the maximum possible stats with an Adamant nature in every single stat, which is impossible unless it has 252-255 EVs in each stat. With 6 stats, and 255 EVs in each one, that is 1,530 EVs in total, which is what t99zz said.

As for suggestions about the Heracross, if this is just for storyline purposes it would be fine, but if you plan on using it for Wi-Fi I would get rid of Stone Edge for an entry hazard or physical attack/speed-boosting move (if Heracross can learn any of those, I really don't know anything about Hercross's movepool aside from MegaHorn.) If you can't find an entry hazard or good stat boosting move, Venoshock wouldn't be a bad replacement either, since Toxic and Toxic Spikes are used so often in Wi-Fi, but it's use would probably be fairly situational, and I'm not sure if it would benefit you more than Stone Edge would.

 

[Weavile05]

Well my plan for my team is to have like a lead Azelf to, well, Lead off my team, and then I have Dragonite, Lucario, and Snorlax, with a Magnezone to counter Dragonite's biggest weakness, Scizor. I want to have some sort of revenge killer in my last slot. I'm thinking something that can take out Gengar, since He's probably one of my biggest Weaknesses.

Does that help?

If a Pokemon has between 90 and 100 EVs on a stat, will a vitamin work or not? I need to know this to figure out what my EVs are (was EV training and lost attention for a minute, now unsure if I have 28 or 30 on one stat). Thanks in advance.

 

[Weavile05]

Vitamins will work as long as ten have not been used or if your EVs are within 10 points of their max.

 

[Haberdasher]

Your post is a bit vague. I know that 255 is the max, but both extensive online searching and personal testing have shown that regardless of whether the EVs are from vitamins or not, vitamins cannot be used on a stat with 100+ EVs. I'm just wondering if that also applies to 90+ EVs since the vitamin would either not give 10 EVs or would raise the stat to over 100 EVs. Are you saying that vitamins won't work from 90 to 100 EVs?

 

[Weavile05]

Oh I thought it would still work. But if you've done extensive online researching and personal testing I would just go with what they say.

Ok... What pokemon would be reccomended as a revenge killer In OU?

Still need this answered please.

 

[Griffinbane]

Just about any OU pokemon with priority or that's fast with scarf I guess...Scizor, Lucario, etc...

 

[ShreyasPokemon]

If you want a good revenge killer, you will need to actually think about which will work the best. It depends on your team and how the revenge killer will work.

Some good revenge killers:
Hitmontop
Flygon
Scizor
Dugtrio
(and there are more)

RE: EV training

I've never EV trained before, but have intend to for my black and white versions. I've read the serebii guide, but had a few questions:

• Do I have to battle the same pokemon till the next level to raise a certain stat -e.g. keep battling zubat to raise speed?
• How can I check when I've reached the maximum for a stat - I understand that the maximum a each stat is 126 EV points.

Thanks for your help,
Anis

 

[Griffinbane]

Not quite.
The maximum EV your pokemon can get is 255 in each stat, and 510 EVs altogether. Since 4 EVs = 1 stat point, you should only get max 252 EVs in a stat. Any more will just go to waste. Consider what EV spread you want first, then decide what and how many to fight. If you want 252 speed EVs, fight 252 Zubat or Pidgey. If you want 252 Special Defense EVs, fight 126 Tentacruel or 252 Tentacool. This is assuming you don't have Pokerus or power items.

 

[t99zz]

what is a good moveset for my shiny Dragonite

I was very lucky when I was playing pokemon diamond and was able to catch an Adamant Nature Shiny Dratini first shot I have currently got him at level 100 and have EV trained him HP6,Atk252,Spe252 however I'm still looking for a good moveset i currently have
Outrage
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Fire Punch

Thanks a lot for your reply. Just to confirm, I have to fight 252 Zubats and no more regardless of the level of my pokemon start and end with e.g. could have a lv 15 Snivy? Also, I can't fight a mix of pokemon right e.g. fight a mix Pidgeys and Zubats together?

Thanks again,
Anis
