Black and White ev training
Just wondering who has been Ev training in Black and White and what.
the only pokemon i have focused in ev's is my tepig, who is now a level 25 pignite the team i plan on ev training is desukan (cofagrigus) gigigear (kilnklang) Emboar Zebraika (zebstrika) Doryuuzu (excadrill) ononokusu (haxorus) |
I am mainly training all my pokemon that I just caught for my team.

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.
|
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. |
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.
|
I don't EV train my pre-national teams.
I only EV train my Pokemon after the entire game. |
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.
|
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!
|
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)
|
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. |
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. |
all my(gaming)life i was always wondering what the whole EV training and IV stuff is about, could someone briefly explain it?

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. |
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!!!

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. |
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 |

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. |
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 |
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. |
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
|
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 |
