I have a question:What pokemon are best for what EV's?

I.E. what pokemon is best for attack EV's,Sp. Def, etc.

Frostweaver November 26th, 2003 7:37 PM

you will have to make a intellectual call on how to distribute your EV. If you want your stats in that category to be higher, then you will want to dump in EV in that category.

For example:
Staller will put EV in either HP, Def or Sp. Def in order to further increase their tanking ability. If they excel in both category of defenses, you will want to put in EVs in the 2 defenses. If your staller is someone like Blissey, then put them in HP and sp.def (or which defense category your pokemon excels in)

A sweeper wants all out attack, dealing heavy damage within a rather limited time (due to lack of defense). So you would want to put EV in speed and in the category of attack that your pokemon excels in, and etc...

it's really up to you how you want to distribute them. Put them in the category that your Pokemon excel at, and that's usually a good way to distribute your EVs.

Oh, goodie! This will help me out a lot. When it comes to team strategy, I am the worst. :laugh:

If you feed them rare candies, and buy all the guru stuff, will they have their stats maxed out?

Frostweaver January 24th, 2004 1:14 AM

....

*knows that you MUST train to get max stats*
*remembers that each vitamins only provide 10 EV*
*knows that a Pokemon will only accept (I think) 10 vitamins... which is far from enough for max EV*
*wants everyone to keep in mind that a Pokemon can never achieve truly max stats for all categories like the old days*

bna_li January 26th, 2004 1:34 AM

Whats Blissey and Snorlex?

Kairi January 31st, 2004 8:23 PM

Brilliant isn’t he? He doesn’t even have that much field experience, but this is a well put together guide. Frosty, do you want two threads? One for comments questions/and one for the guide itself?

MiNuN* January 31st, 2004 9:29 PM

well certainly frost is very like....helpful. thats alot of cool info for starters. too bad im too lazy to read all of the crap. BORED

bna_li February 2nd, 2004 5:25 AM

If it is GOOD info, you shouldn't be calling it crap.

MiNuN* February 2nd, 2004 9:37 PM

woops... i meant writing
sorry

"Put it in the box like the classical GSC box trick to maximize stats. Voila..."

what is the classical GSC box trick??

bna_li March 6th, 2004 3:44 PM

Fight lotsa enemies when you're Lv100, like 20-30, then put in the box. Go to that woman on Slateport and if she gives you an effort ribbon, your stats are maxed. If not, fight 20-30 pokemon again, put in the box, repeat, repeat, etc.

KananShu1130 March 6th, 2004 3:57 PM

kthx for the info mr. kakashi ^^

bna_li March 6th, 2004 4:13 PM

So, a Naruto fan as well, eh?

KananShu1130 March 8th, 2004 6:31 PM

yup, I'm following the series straight from Japan....

bna_li March 8th, 2004 8:41 PM

Really?*WAY OFF-TOPIC* Which part of the series did you watch it til?

Kairyu March 9th, 2004 3:29 PM

Hmm the Double Team + Pressure combo is pure evil. I gotta try that one someday, lol. Thanks Frosty for the tips!

As Kairi said before... Brilliant!

Off-topic: Cool, you're all into Naruto? I'm up to episode 40 right now. Great series, isn't it? *vanishes*

Kairi March 11th, 2004 3:18 PM

I'm not sure if he added it, but Sub/Focus Punch also works quite well. You have to use something that won't have its sub pop in one shot for real effectiveness though. Kangaskhan and Snorlax do it pretty well.

bna_li March 17th, 2004 8:54 AM

Do rare candies re-come back whatever thingy? I mean can you get them more than once in the same place.

KananShu1130 March 17th, 2004 3:31 PM

I'm up tp episode 74 on Naruto.... with the rare candies I find that Zigzagoons pick-up works the best around route 121 from Forttree to LilyCove you can find more rare candies there.

bna_li March 24th, 2004 4:28 AM

Yea I know, but you mean you can get them and get them and never stop?

Xilion_Sword90 March 25th, 2004 4:40 PM

I found the best "Evading" Pokemon, I just wanna know if he is good:

[email protected] Incense

Double Team
Sandstorm
And 2 other offensif moves..

So? Is he good?

Frostweaver April 11th, 2004 10:43 PM

If that sandslash can pull off 2 double team and 1 sandstorm, you're very lucky already. Double Team is very difficult to pull off due to the very improfitable outcome during early levels of double team... Plus i lost so much faith on double team after my gyarados has 6 double team and got struck by thunderbolt... x_x;

Speed in setups matter a lot. One turn of swords dance or dragon dance is enough to be game breaking. The opponent won't allow you to stand there for 1 turn of sandstorm and 6 turns of double team and make it out alive... Unless you have special plans such as umbreon with mean look, or using sub, it's very difficult to pull off so many buffs.
