Rare candy training is total fail. Put in the time or don't play. wiFi sets the levels to level 100 though :/
And yes, it works. Don't count on pokerus though.

All his stats? I hope your friend realizes that he can only have 510 EVs max on a single Pokemon. :P

As for the Rare Candy thing, I'm not sure if Rare Candies register EVs when levelling up.

EDIT: Anti, I think the friend already has Pokerus. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Image%20Macros/yelwacko.gif Why wouldn't he be able to count on it?

I meant getting pokerus...I've only gotten it once, and I was a n00b, so...I don't wanna talk about it :(

no need to take chances with rare candies. Just sweep through the E4 a few times with a lucky egg.

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:25 PM

The friend hacked his game, so getting Pokerus (or Rare Candies, for that matter) won't be a problem.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:26 PM

lucky egg? what's that? Some sort of über training device?

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:29 PM

Lucky Egg: Multiplies Exp Points gained by 1.5x. Very useful for training.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:32 PM

Wow. Sounds amazing. That's a really fast way to train but it's not worth it if you're not putting in effort. So, are the EV's that I was given what I need to do for my team?

What? You still have to train with lucky egg...not even I'D say that lol...it IS worth it, for the record.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:37 PM

I meant the hacking, the egg sounds wonderful, sorry about the mix up

Hacking is the worst and most dishonorable thing you can do.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:41 PM

Aye. I'm training my porygon-z now. sweeper, 252/252/6, yes? What moves does he need?

Pory Z @ Choice Scarf ** Virtual Doom
Trait: Download, was it?
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Tbolt
- Tri attack

Win.

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:43 PM

My favorite moveset is:

-Tri-Attack
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Dark Pulse

Tri Attack does crazy damage when combined with Adaptability. Slap a Choice Scarf on him to make him outrun most of the metagame, and you're all set.

EDIT: You can use Download if you want, but you need to have good prediction, not to mention know the stats of a lot of the Pokemon in the game.

Adaptability was the trait. lol my bad

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:48 PM

I've been working on him like all day and he has download =S!

should I just dump him? This suckss

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:51 PM

Yowch... well, Download Porygon is still useable, but you need to have spot on prediction- not to mention know what stats a lot of the Pokemon have.

Adapablility I believe is the superior ability. Make sure it has good IVs, nature, etc.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:52 PM

What does adaptability do?

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:54 PM

Adaptability increases moves that are the same type as yourself by 1.5x. It's basically a second STAB, and multiplies Tri-Attack to 2.25x its base damage.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:54 PM

Wow, I looked it up, that's great. I'd hate to throw it away. I guess I should start over though.

Yes, you should. you MUST ALWAYS strive for perfection (or close ;)) and it'll pay off big.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:55 PM

Is there any way to change it?

Rebreed with ditto :/

Modest nature.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:56 PM

AGH, alright. all my work.. that's rather annoying.

airconditioning November 2nd, 2007 1:56 PM

Yeah, sorry. :(

That's why its important to know exactly what you want to do with a Pokemon before you start breeding.
