Anyone EV Training?
 
Did anyone here start EV training their team whether it be fighting Pokemon or using the special training system? Or are you guys planning to EV train your pokemon after you completed the game?

I am using the Super Training as we speak, and I'm honestly surprised it hasn't broke yet. I've been abusing it so much. It's kinda funny, all it is is a tapping game and I've already used it way more than Pokèmon-Amie and the PSS put together. And I thought it'd be the other way around...

I'm also EV- theming my entrie team to cover all the bases(this is my future team, some of my guys haven't evolved yet); Speed/Sp. Atck Greninja, Sp. Atck/Defense Vivillon, Sp. Atck & Def. Raichu, HP/Atck Delcatty, Atck/Def Gallade, and Atck/ Sp. Def. Pangoro.

On a side note, I might be the only one not using the Kanto starter you get on my team…

Haha, same goes here with abusing the Super Training!
Are you planning on fully training your pokemon first, before continuing on to the game? And, good luckw ith your team. Seems pretty cool.

Waiting till i beat the game with a pve roster.

No, I haven't started EV training yet. I hope to get more familiar with the gen. VI metagame before I do. I haven't been battling much lately.

Aeroblast November 9th, 2013 10:23 AM

Actually, EV training this generation is even faster with hordes. If you got everything prepared, 5-6 battles is all it takes to top out 252 EVs in one stat.

Moist November 9th, 2013 12:14 PM

It took me around 40 minutes to get 252 EV's on my Modest Goodra, using calciums (I think that's the right one) and battling Vanillite/Smoochum hordes at frost cavern. I'm just going to train my E4 team, and see how I do.

Naxus_Darkstar November 9th, 2013 12:53 PM

Ev training is a snap in this game. Pokerus+Power items+horde battles= 50-60 EVs per battle. It took me under 10 minutes to do a 252/252/6 spread and I am loving it.

Megan November 9th, 2013 1:09 PM

After I finished the main story I started EV-training a team to use in online battles. Even though I know of the speed that hordes+pokerus+power things bring I prefer Super Training since it's a better time killer and it actually let's you do something with the Pokemon you're training (similar to Pokemon Amie).

Haven't used my team though ^^"

Flushed November 9th, 2013 1:37 PM

I thought EV training was tedious, IV breeding is even more so. ._.

For EV though, since I don't have pokerus or the Power items, I've been buying the 10-20 vitamins and just super training the rest.

Oscairy November 9th, 2013 1:42 PM

I started EV training after I beat the Elite Four. I actually enjoy the super training minigames. I just found out about horde training today.. I might try it sometime.

KittenKoder November 11th, 2013 4:09 AM

I use super training exclusively for EVs, I actually enjoy it, it's kinda fun.

Marionz November 11th, 2013 4:15 AM

not a fan of the super training so instead im currently doing a horde EV training.. so much faster with the horde haha!

Fayble November 11th, 2013 5:04 AM

I started doing EVs during my game, but then I ended up changing my mind and actually started over (after 5 badges). For me, EV training during the game made the game less enjoyable.

Now that it's beat, I'm ripping my hair out trying to breed IVs and not enjoying it at all.

I was unaware about Horde EV training though and somewhat surprised the idea didn't occur to me...

im so loving the horde system they implemented on gen 6... it made my ev training life so so much easier compared to previous versions...

i get 50 ev per tick cause 1 ev + 4 power item x pokerus x 5 (5 because of number of mons in a horde)... 5 battles and i only need 2 more to max it out :)

WhtKnt November 11th, 2013 6:48 AM

I haven't started EV Training yet, but I have started breeding a few of the Pokemon I intend to use for online battles after I beat the game. Reason there's a few, is so I have a few to take to the IV Guy after beating the Elite 4. This will be my first attempt at forging the ideal IV/EV battle team.

Chances are, I'll end up doing a mix of Horde EV training and Super Training.. just so I don't get overly bored with either or. :P Just got my sixth badge, so not much longer.. I think.. >.>

Hiatus November 12th, 2013 1:27 AM

So far, I've EV trained about seven to eight of my Pokémon. Three of them are Blastoise, Espeon, and Chesnaught. Blastoise, I've trained it up to boost its Special Attack, Defense, and Special Defense. Espeon's EVs were spread to maximize its Speed and Special Attack. I use this Pokémon mostly as a dual-screener, so I need to be as fast as possible and get Reflect and Light Screen set up quickly. As for Chesnaught, it was trained to get an increase on its HP, Defense, Special Defense, and Attack. Most of the time, Chesnaught is used as a wall.

AuraKnight95 November 13th, 2013 2:33 PM

I first started EV training a Charizard and Mewtwo through the Super Training, and found it to be pretty fun! However, then I found out about EV training through Horde battles...and well, let's just say I'm never going back to Super Training. :p

SnowpointQuincy November 13th, 2013 2:38 PM

First was Aggron-Mega

Also, Talonflame, Doublade-Eviolite, Goomy, Scolipede, And Hawlucha

It is amazingly easy to do, after 5 horde battles you have 250 in one stat. Plus now each stat has a ev cap right at 252 so you don't have to stress about going just over. What more could you ask for?

I didn't know about the EV cap, that is pretty great! Definitely makes keeping up with the counting no hassle lol.

I didn't start EV training until I was done with the story. One of these days... I'm sure I'll do EV training while playing the story, especially if they plan on keeping some form of Super Training alive in the future.

NRG November 13th, 2013 3:37 PM

If you're just playing through the game it's not worht the hassle. You need to breed for good IVs, natures and egg moves before worrying about EVs.
