I understand the "concept," I suppose... I get that EVs can determine WHAT stats will be, IVs are WHAT the stats ARE... Right? And Natures, of couse, boost certain stats and "reduce" others...
But... How do you determine what is "good?" "Perfect?"
How can you tell if a Poke'mon has a good nature for what they are?
When EV/IV training, is it best to train for one stat? Two? Three? Or all of them? Do you should train what you think needs to be increased? Do you train their best stat to make it a monster? Do you train their worst stat to balance them out?
I have a general idea of the whole thing, but I just don't understand the depths of it all. The math involved makes my brain ache. (I'm the creative kind of person - I'm still amazed I can do simple multiplication.) I've looked up videos, read Bulbapedia's wiki page on it (THAT just made me want to cry...), read other forum posts, guides, looked up forums on here... It just isn't getting through. :(
Is there a way someone could explain this in a much more simpler way for me to understand? I hope this can help others, as well, because I've noticed that there are other people can't grasp the depths of the idea at all, either.
I guess a good place to start... I have a Sylveon that I am currently training through levelling. I have already made it "Fully Trained" through the training system on X/Y. Could I get some input? Did I do this correctly? :
Level: 92
Nature: Mild (+ Sp. Attack. - Defense)
HP: 313
Attack: 186
Defense: 134
Sp. Attack: 247
Sp. Defense: 252
Speed: 170
If I remember correctly, I trained on Special Attack and from the looks of it, Special Defense.
His moves:
Draining Kiss (Special)
Moonblast (Special)
Cut (Physical)
Fairy Wind (Special)
Edit : Also... How do you know if a Poke'mon is in the top percentage? That's something I have never figured out. Ever. Even the slightest.
