I am referring to later, not to play through the game with..like ev training pokemon for wifi battles and stuff like that

I just beat the E4 and N and such and it was only possible due to Haxorus lol Get a DDance and a Swords Dance up and sweep.

Bluerang1 March 9th, 2011 7:50 AM

I'll ev train, not full ev train, my team like I did on Platinum. I chose an are to ev each one. It'll just be harder as I won't be able to get the Power items during game play, and I can't trade them over with the Shiny Legendary Beasts and Celebi, iThink. So I have to really solely on the wild Pokemon, joy :(

I'm terrible at competitive play (it really confuses me, no fun) so I only EV train for in-game play. So far I'm only EV training my scolipede. Not an ideal nature (but not a bad one either) but it has brilliant IVs, I'm EV training to to be a fast physical attacker just because. It would probably have been better as a baton passer or something but it probably doesn't matter that much in non-competitive.

Besides, at home I don't have any wifi access and I don't like taking my DS out with me, so I have no means of battling competitively anyway.

JP March 9th, 2011 11:44 AM

EV training right off the bat? I never do it. I feel it's way too much of a pain to even bother. I like waiting until I'm finished with the story, much easier if you ask me.

j2y8n2x March 9th, 2011 11:49 AM

I don't EV train my pre-national teams.

I only EV train my Pokemon after the entire game.

インフェルノの津波 March 9th, 2011 3:27 PM

There's this wonderful site called Serebii.net that has all the EV's for all Unova Pokemon. It's at the bottom of the page, of use Bulbapedia.

Midnight Jog March 9th, 2011 4:48 PM

I don't usually start EV training my team until I've beaten the entire region. I don't see much of a point in it, because it's not like I'm getting to level 100, naturally before I finish the game! I have to train my butt off to get level 100, so I finish EVing, before I reach 100. I have my Ev'd Glaceon and Sceptile ready to trade over, after I finish the game. I'm putting them on my team, then I'm EVing the rest of my team, which will be all new Pokes from B&W!

PlatinumDude March 10th, 2011 1:01 AM

When I get my copy of B/W, I'll be EV training my teams. But there's one thing that's bugging me: is there anywhere early in the game where you can EV train for Special Attack, other than Celestial Tower? (because of Oshawott)

lamby101 March 10th, 2011 1:26 AM

I'm not EV training yet, I'm going to wait until I finish the game before I do that. Partly because I don't enjoy EV training, I see it as a bit of a chore, and secondly there's no way I'm doing it until I get the items that boost the EVs you get, and not until I've caught/traded over pokerus.

I will however leave pokemon that I catch with good natures UT.

Ho-Oh March 16th, 2011 8:09 AM

I got told to raise a Scraggy, so I'm currently trying to ev train it in attack. Taking a while, though :(

Don't know if I'll ev train others anytime soon.

Notworking15 March 16th, 2011 10:52 AM

all my(gaming)life i was always wondering what the whole EV training and IV stuff is about, could someone briefly explain it?

By training your pokemon's EVs (Effort Values) you can raise a certain stat.

A pokemon's IVs (Individual Values) cannot change, but effect how much better a stat is compared to a pokemon with no IVs.

Not sure if that helps or not.

Erufuun March 16th, 2011 12:02 PM

Are the power items available in Pokemon Black and White? (Power Anklet, Power Belt, etc.)
If so, where do ya get them? That would be very useful to know. ;;

EV's... Ugh... They practically scare me out of battling, thinking whether or not I should give my Victini Sp. Atk EVs or Atk. EVs, or maybe more spped, Hp, etc... ARGH ZOMGEVS!!!

You raise the stats of whichever one would help your Victini more. If it has more Sp. Attacks, then you raise the Sp. Attack stat. If it has more Physical Attacks, then you raise the Attack stat. And Speed is raised if you want to strike first in battle. Between that and the Pokemon's base stats/personality, that's how one decides how to EV train a Pokemon.

I haven't done any EV training in B/W yet. I always wait until after I beat the main storyline. This way, I can be sure that I don't run across any random trainers that will throw off my training, and I have full access to breeding resources and every location in the game. It's much easier that way.

Nameless. March 16th, 2011 1:06 PM

I'm not going to EV train this time around. Being that B&W is supposed to be a re-constructed Gen 1 type of deal, I'm following the old games. I didn't utilize EVs back then when I played RBY, so I won't utilize them in our new Poke country. :D They are a serious pain in the butt to do anyway, and I can never seem to count them up properly. ._.; I'd rather not have to go to the Dream World and grow a bunch of EV reducing berries to fix my stupidity on my Pokemon. XDD

this

In the beginning of the game you don't have many options, and it sucks when the trainer battles throw all the wrong EVs at you. I think at that point, trying to EV train takes all the fun out of being a new trainer and having a new story.

Raichupacabra March 16th, 2011 6:01 PM

I'm currently Ev Training a Cryogonal and Tauros so I could do a doubles Ice Breath + Anger Point.

But no I gotta go all Subway one everyone

Yusshin March 16th, 2011 6:10 PM

Black/White doesn't have the berries, so it'd be a pain in the butt to EV train this time 'round.

I don't play competitively, so is kinda pointless for me anyway, and I'll probably just not do it.

Cresselia March 16th, 2011 6:28 PM

Great topic! Right now I'm trying to breed a Deino to EV train. Ever since I raised a Hydregion in my Japanese White version, I've been fascinated with it, and can;t wait to see what it can do with proper stats. :D

Zerrah. March 16th, 2011 7:38 PM

So far I've EV trained:
2 different Hydreigons
Volcarona
Mienshao
Reuniclus
Excadrill
Elektross
Victini

And I've bred and am about to EV train:
Frillish
Scraggy
Litwick
and perhaps a Drought Vulpix by tomorrow
