Do you REALLY care?
Uh..
Let's count how many people do not care about natures and EVs. and IV's. although I SHOULD just make a poll... How do you make a poll? :15: |
I care very much about them. They're vital to win competeive battles.

Read the FAQ |
i can do ev's but ivs confuse me. but yeah, im training a current team from scratch right now!
|
they're essential in online battling, sometimes they even do more than Iv's
Like let's say a pokemon has 300atk, with adamant they have 330 But seriously for ingame battling you can just smother anyone with basically anything |
IVs, EVs, and Natures play a huge part in success in competetive. If you don't care about them, just don't battle. So yes, I care about them.
To make a poll, go to the bar right above the first post and click where it says thread tools. Click the dropdown, and hit the Poll selection. |
i care bout em
they help SO MUCH |
I posted something on another thread about this but since you talked about IV's and EV's, the only EV's I use are 6 HP/252 ATK/252 SPD, it can be really work on pokemon but you have to have a counter attack that's the weakness of the attacker who's attacking my pokemon.
|
Yes, I care about Natures, I don't know what EV's and IV's are, and how are they useful in online battling?
|
@Moana: That Ev spread won't work for every pokemon. all of them are different.
@Sk8tr: Read the stickies in the Strategies and Movesets place. I care about them too. They are very, very neccesary. |
I don't do competitive play..
(Off topic, but do you like cookiedough?) I lost my Wi-fi. due to moving. to another state. so yeah, That's probably the reason I made this thread. WOBUFFET FACE. :15: |
Since I don't battle Human-verses-Human often at all, not really.
I mean, why put in all that work if you'll rarely use the result? But, I do try to at least get a decent nature. But really, no. |
Considering I just got into competitive play, yes
Teams don't do well on Wifi if they aren't EV trained. And IVs help, but I don't care too much for them. |

only n00bs don't care about EVs, IVs, and especially natures. Come on natures are so easy to get, you might as well try for them. The only time I don't care about these things is for an in-game team. But just try the battle tower without EVs, IVs, or natures and you'll see why you should care.
|
I do sometimes care about EV's, and i always try and EV train my shinies i catch.. and also legendaries, but thats about it.
|
Absolutely! I spend a lot of time working to find that close to perfect Pokemon. I set high standards for myself and my Pokemon, and if I want to become known as a great battler, I need the Pokemon strong enough to cope in a competitive situation. They are just so crucial.
|
Nope, I wish people would just battle normally.
I'm way too impatient to EV one pokemon nevermind six besides that the items that are used regularly in competitive play are hard to get so getting numerous of them is tough. I prefer to breed and trade to up my Dex. I'll get to competitive battling when I'm old enough to bother. (Probably by the time we get Platina/Platinum) |
since it's so easy to gain a good nature (ever stone) and the right EVs (items, pkrs, vitamines) i do care about them. also you have to care about them, otherwise youll be losing all the time.
but the IVs can get frustrating, and they really aren't thát important. |
I didn't care about Natures and EVs at first, but having read a bit about the basics, I've realised just how important they are when battling with other people.
As anyone else may or may not have said, you won't bother with them if you're just going around battling CPU Trainers. |
I care about EVs and Natures, but rarely do I bother with IVs. Although I am currently trying to breed a Sunkern (the pokemon with the lowest base stats) with IVs of 0 in every stat.
And sometimes, for a challenge, I'll clone my team and remove all EVs, and then battle. |
Natures, EVs, and IVs are just as important as movesets (if not more in some cases) when it comes to winning battles on Wi-Fi. So yes, I do care about them, making sure to EV train any Pokemon with a good nature and decent IVs I catch. It shouldn't matter much if you're doing in-game, 'cept for natures. You don't want a nature that lowers your Pokemon's primary stat, or else it's not gonna do as good a job as you might think.
|
Um, well, the only reason I use my time playing pokemon is because of EVs and IVs. In all honesty, I would have lost interest in the games had I not discovered competitive battling. So, yeah. I care. A lot.

I care about Natures, IVs, and EVs quite alot. They're important to keep track of so you don;t suck at battling. |
My opinion has changed radically since completing the game & catching/trading my dream team. I'm interested in EVs mostly now, but I can see me rebreeding my whole team for decent natures & proper EV training.
This coming from someone who was like 'URGH, competitive battling SUCKS!' a few weeks ago. |
I care about nature/EVs/IVs because it's really important(Example: Weavile hardy, 0 IVs/EVs=Atk:100 against Weavile adamant 31 IVs/252 EVs=Atk:203) and at the example you see how important all this is.
Breeding and training is very time-consuming, but it's profitable, the 2.Weavile would win because: 1 IV=1 Point 4 EVs=1 Point right nature:+10% So you see the diffrent^^ So I care about this all |
I don't worry about them, since I don't compete in the hardcore circuit. I only battle with my close friends, and none of us EV train. It's fair.
|
Well, when I was a begginer, I only care teaching pokemon the strongest move available. But today, I count on the Natures, Stats and EV ,IV or whatever you call it on battling...
|
I care about them so little that every time someone explains the stuff to me, I forget them the next moment.
I like my natures to be cool, though. Would hate to have an insane pokémon in my party. |

I have cared ever since I first found out what pokemon natures do.
I have 3 boxes filled with Gligar and still don't have one with the Jolly nature and Sand Veil. Essential, essential. That's why I'm making a new team. |
Really...
I managed to beat some EV/IV Trainer in the Battle Tower.. ..It was tough though. He was no match for my Infernape And Giratina..=3 I mean, he was. .....he was a match. .............I wasn't bragging or anything. |
Ivs, evs, natures
Couldnt live without them |
Added a poll and moving to S&M.
|
Really don't have a need for this type of thread. IVs and EVs don't matter in-game but they matter if you plan on battling competitively.
