EV Training Questions
 
I'm starting on a new team and my pokemon are already high leveled, but not EV trained, for instance, my level 88 Charizard. I'm battling a bunch of abra near Jubilife city, do the levels effect anything in EV training, or do i still get 1 effort point for each abra i defeat?

It really depends on how it got to level 88 in the first place. Did it experience battles to level up to 88? Or did you use candies...or the daycare, but to that, I would just say "Wow". x_x

yeah, a bunch of battles to get charizard there, of course, i've prolly used a couple of candies on it somewhere down the road.

D/P is the first game i've EV trained in, so i'm pretty new at this.

Ah, well, the definition of EV-training is based on intention. You get EVs from any battle you get experience from, even if you didn't plan on it. So if your Pokémon leveled a great deal by fighting other Pokémon, it is probably already maxed out in EVs. You can only get 510 EVs max, and by level 88, you should have gotten much more than that. And most likely, the EVs you got are not distributed the way you were hoping, so I advise you to either make a new Pokémon, or use berries to take out all the unwanted EVs. Either way, you need to re-EV-train them.

how do i do the berry thing, i want to ev train this pokemon, i'm an attacker, and my speed is high enough, how can i take a little off speed defence and sp. defence so i can add them to attack and sp. attack

I can't max out all my stats if i wanted to??

pkmn trainer alex, i have a quick question- i already maxed teh evs of my machamp in atk and speed. if i wanted to max sp atk too, could i use some of the ev-lowering berries on one of the stats and then train it in sp atk?

Chibaymega12 July 16th, 2007 8:31 AM

Pomeg - HP
Kelpsy - Att.
Qualot - Def.
Hondew - Sp. Att.
Grepa - Sp. Def
Tamato - Speed

Each berry decreases its EVs by 10, so just use them until the unwanted stats can't be lowered anymore and start re-training in attack and special attack.

Edit: Sorry, I said attack and speed without thinking. XD Just get rid of what you don't want and re-train in what you do.

You can only put 255 max EVs in a single stat. If you were to take away from Att. or Speed to raise Sp. Att., that would be a mistake, I think. o.o

Edit: Btw, I should have linked to this earlier, but ShadowTails put up a wonderful guide on EVs, seeing as these questions are being asked more and more these days. XD I'll still be willing to answer those questions, of course, but please look the guide over first.

I thought it was 252 max EVs in a stat. x-x;

It's 255 max, but seeing as every 4 EV points is 1 stat point, 252 is the logical stopping point. Anymore and you waste EVs that could be put into another stat (252 in one, 252 in another, and 4 in one more with 2 extra for nothing).
