you know, i just thought about what is the highest amounts of evs can you get off a single pokemon.
well here's an example:
a pokemon who gives 3 points in ev (e.g. Crobat), holding the same power item boost for that stat (e.g. Crobat-Power Anklet) and have Pokerus. and that would be:
(3+4)x2=14 points!
that would be a lot quicker!

Na...tried it.Doesn't work.

It's 3 x 2 + 4 = 10

shookie May 21st, 2010 8:46 AM

Bart Crab is actually right, Pokerus + Power Items stack.
Pokerus + Power Bracer + Staraptor (+3/attack) = (3+4)x2 = 14 EVs.

Old post but NO NO NO NO NO. You get the normal amount of EVs when you switch. There is no such thing as EVs getting cut in half for whatever reason. Only the experience gets cut in half and that's because it's shared between both pokemon.

When I was EV training Speed on that guy with 6 Magikarp it jumped up a whole lot. ^_^ But naturally I only leveled after I was finished, stupid Magikarp give rubbish experience.

but how come i had the wrong evs when i was recording them. i even tried on the internet to see the ivs, but it went error for every stat.

On the original topic of this post... You know what'd be the most hilarious? Getting something to level 99 without any effort points at all somehow, then effort training it all in that level, and letting it go to level 100. If you maxed a stat, you'd see a +67 or something like it in there. Assuming you didn't use Vitamins for the first 100 EVs. *Nods some* If you did, then you'd see something along a +42.

Either way, it'd be amazing.

It's possible you counted wrong or forgot to make a marking after a battle or something or other. Either way, EVs are NOT cut when you switch.

I got a +33 to my Mewtwo's attack after it fought Bruno in several Elite Four runs. It also had the Macho Brace equipped and Pokerus. But attack wasn't the stat I wanted to see an increase in (though I wasn't actually trying to EV Mewtwo, I was Exp Sharing some other Pokemon and Mewtwo happened to be the Psychic type I picked for my team).

I was EV Training a Flygon in Defense-it beat an Azumarill and got +12 in Def. It had the Pokerus and was holding a Band...so yeah, I was happy. :D

For some reason, I fell like I am not ev training properly. I have pokerus or a pokemon that has been cured from pokerus, with the power belt and I ev train on geodudes and hippopotas (lvl 24ish, in the manican tunner, for defence). I do not count how many battels i do, but I use a rare candy to see how many evs i got, but it only shows like a +2 or 3. Am I doing something wrong? Should I not use a rare candy to level my poke up and see how many evs i got? or should i fight more pokes? is there a specific number for a certain number of ev's?

You won't see a high increase in stats until you get to a higher level. The 4 EVs:+1 stat ratio is at level 100, so you would only see really really big stat increases if you were to, say, do all of your EV training at level 99 to level 100. Until then it's all residual and will add up over time.

It varies every time you level up. As long as you're correctly keeping track of the EVs you gain and know you have the right spread once you reach 510, that's all that matters. You won't always see huge numbers as you level up.

ok, now i understand.......

just to correct you. the maximum evs for a stat 255 and 4 goes it into 63 times, so you you only get +63 as the highest possible number.

Esmas May 24th, 2010 11:11 AM

Definitely. This happened when my Happiny evolved into Chansey...BANG! I was like "woah." Its HP was only going +3 but as soon as it evolved +8 and +10 and stuff.

Weird May 27th, 2010 5:01 AM

My ev trained mewtu got 35 special attack at once. I did the ev training within on level.

Left4Dead May 27th, 2010 11:23 AM

The highest for me was my Garchomp's attack going up +22 I just trained with the Bibarels near Hearthome for like half an hour haha

nigg May 30th, 2010 4:20 PM
