EV Training - Confused, need help.
Could anyone please tell me if I'm doing this right or wrong?
What I do when I EV-train is, I use the Counter App on the Poketch, and say I'm EV training for speed; I KO a Magikarp while holding Power Anklet, and I tally up 4 EVs for each Magikarp, until I get 252 Speed (which is my goal). Does this mean that I need to KO 63 Magikarps (while holding Power Anklet) to get the max speed stat, 252? |
Yes.
Filllleeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr |
Only two? I thought that whenever the holder of Power Anklet gains Speed effort from battle, it increases that effort by 4?
Edit; oh, you edited your post .. |
Yeah, sorry. I realised after I posted that I was completely wrong.
|
Oh, ok :p
But I just thought of something; If the power-anklet adds +4 to the EV gain. Would KO'ing a Magikarp make 1+4=5, and not 4? |
No, it's not +4. It's just 4, regardless of the Pokemon :)
EDIT: I'm wrong again. Ignore me from now on >.> |

Magikarp = 1 speed EV Power Anklet + Magikarp = 5 speed EV Power Anklet + Magikarp + Pokerus = 10 speed EV |

EDIT: Well Christ almighty, beaten (sorta). |

What happens if I KO for example 90 Magikarps? Would that ruin the whole process for the next stat that I will EV-train for the same pokémon? What I try to say is, does the EV-train for each stat need to be accurate, or could I KO more than 50 + 2? (I know I can't KO less) |

You could technically, gaining 255 (the max.) EVs instead. However, if you did that, you couldn't use those extra 6 (4 basically) EVs leftover. This is assuming you're fully EV training in another stat as well.
EDIT: Hot damn, ^ poster is right. Reason I was 'fused was because I had been training on them with a poké that needed Sp. Attack and Speed at the time. Fudge. |

EDIT: ARGHHHH double beaten, I'm slow. |
Hm, so if I EV-train the Speed-stat ABOVE these 50 + 2 KO's, would these effort points then take from the 252 + 4 I have remaining EVs? Won't I be able to fully train another stat if I'm not accurate?
EDIT; I have just fought Magikarps with this pokemon, all the way from level one. So this Larvitar has ONLY gained speed-points. That's why I wonder if the other Stats would go to waste if I've EV-trainded the speed too much. So sorry if I can't explain! Hope you understand :b |

510 is max. total number of EVs, btw. 510=255+255 OR 252+252+4. Those 4 EVs could be going to another stat, instead of just wasting space in an already fully EV'd stat. |

You see, I was a little confused when I read this; Quote:
But if I got this right, I've not wasted any points or done anything wrong, yet :p So! I want these stats; 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed. Does that mean that I now could go on to train the Atk for this pokemon? |

Or..? I'm newb :| |
No, it for sure has 255 Speed EVs. That means if you want those extra 4 EVs I talked about in another stat, you'll have to use the Tamato Berry to get rid of 10 Speed EVs and then fight to get 7 Speed EVs, to have 252.

Can anyone confirm that it is 255 is max and no going over? Now I'm confused lol XD I thought 255 was just where they stopped counting but you could continue to 510 wasting :P |
O_o
Weeell.. Seems like I have to breed another Larvitar and start the training all over again? I dunno how manny berries I'll need to use to get it down to 252 .. Eff, well it's my first try at EV-training so, haha. |
No, yaminokame is wrong. You can't go over 255 EVs in one stat. 510 is the total number of EVs you can have. Period. All you need to do is use one berry, and follow the directions I gave you above.

Edit; ooh, Jlizard27 confirmed the facts :) |
Is it OK to AR some Rare Candies to get them to Level 100?

Right, it will become useless. It will become useless because you no longer gain EVs in that certain stat.
