EV training Question
Im starting to EV train now, and I have a question.
Does EV training work in Emerald? Because I battled about 12 Zubats, and when I leveled up, the Speed stat only went up 3. Im new to EV training, so I dont know much about it Thank you, ~Marth |
It might depend on where you battled the Zubats..
I don't know much either. Sorry. XD |

Anyone else think they know why? |
That's normal. The effects of EV-training is gradual, and although you may not see the boost in a stat that you were expecting, you'll see the results once you raise that Pokémon more in level.

Is this Pokémon you're training untouched? Or did you use it in battle previously.
Either way, 12 Zubats isn't really much to see that high of an effect. Also, just wondering, are you using Rare Candies to level? |

Untouched - No, my friend traded it to me. Rare candy - No, im leveling up from battling the Zubats. |

Of course, if your friend EV-trained it correctly and fully, you shouldn't have to worry then. =D |

Which girl? The 1 standing next to the guy in that little market? Thanks for the help :) ~Marth |
I actually can't really say, as I never played Emerald. XD I only know stuff about EV-training, but I don't own R/S/E, just LeafGreen and Diamond. From what I just google searched, it says "There is a girl in Slateport City standing in the marketplace, next to the Energy Guru."

Thanks for all the help :) And do you know if there is and how to get a Macho Brace in LeafGreen? Thank you, ~Marth |
I believe I got mine by using the Item Finder right on the spot Giovanni was standing in Viridian City's Gym.

Also, in EV training, is it better to train it if its untoched? ~Marth |
Well, if it isn't untouched (as in, someone already fought with it in battle), then you have to worry about what and how many EV points were already received by the Pokémon before you can effectively train it yourself. Especially if the Espeon in question got EVs that you want nothing to do with, as that becomes a waste.

Oh, so one battle. Well that won't make too much of a difference, so you should be fine. If you want to make sure, you can always use certain berries to lower the EVs to 0, then reset when you realize how many berries you used. Otherwise, if you're confident your friend didn't do much else, then don't worry about it.

Oh, well, that's not horribly bad, but there can be a fair amount of EVs in it already, depending on how it got those 18 levels. You probably should double-check.

If so, these are them : Attack : 47 Defense : 35 Sp. Atk : 80 Sp. Def : 64 Speed : 73 |
It's hard to check by stats, as nature and IVs (individual values) will complicate such a method. Your best bet is to use berries that reduce EV points in a certain stat by 10. The berries are as follows:
Pomeg: reduces HP Kelpsy: reduces Attack Qualot: reduces Defense Hondew: reduces Sp. Att. Grepa: reduces Sp. Def. Tamato: reduces Speed Basically, get a mass number of the 6, and feed each type to the Pokémon until it says that the stat can't go any lower. However many berries you used (minus 1) times 10 would be around how many EVs it had in the stat. Of course, if you plan on retraining its EVs, using the same berries to remove unwanted EVs is a good idea too. |
3 is the right amount. EVs are divided by 4 in the stat calculations so, since Zubat gives 1 EV for speed, it takes 4 to see the stat go up by 1. Every EV, not just speed, is divided by 4. Hope this helps.

puptiar247 is right. Every four points you earn will raise your stat by +1. So if you didn't EV train your espeon against those 12 zubats, speed wouldn't have gone up at all. Serebii has a great EV guide and lists places to find good EV training pokemon. I havn't been here very long so I don't know if this place has an EV guide.

Just to add to my earlier posting. You have to be at level 100 to notice the 3 point speed increase. Here's the formula:
Stat = RoundDown((( BaseStat * 2 + IV + RoundDown( EV/4 ) ) * Level/100 + 5 ) * P) It's that Level/100 that keeps you from realizing the full 3 points until you get to level 100. BTW, P = personality, which can be 90%, 100%, or 110%, depending on which personality type you have. There is a thread on this but I can't post the link to it because I don't have the required number of posts. The thread number is 72415. Pupitar247 |
