I don't understand the IV bit very well, i used a IV calculator but i don't know if the stats i got were good or not!

Here's the calc: http://www.serebii.net/games/iv-calcdp.shtml

I have a charmander like this:

lvl 1

brave

hp: 12
att:6
def:6
sp.att:6
sp.def:6
speed:5

Look on the calculator, are these stats good?

Go and battle someone on a lvl 100 battle with that pokemon so it goes up to lvl 100. In the battle look at its stats and use the calculator on it

But if you do the iv battle you still have the pokemon on lvl 1. If you rare candy it it stays on lvl 100 forever

If you raise it up to... level 10 or so, you can check it's IVs then. If it's got good IVs, you can grow those EV reducing berries and reduce the EVs back to default and begin EV training.

As for the Rare Candy thing, you can always reset to get the Rare Candies back, and set the Poke's level back to 1. Really, if you have enough Rare Candies, you shouldn't need to do IV battles.

Also, you should use Metalkid's IV Calculator instead of Serebii's. You have to enter more information, true, but you get much more accurate IVs. Also, with Metalkid's, you only need to raise the Pokemon to lv. 25 or so to get a good idea of its IVs, often less than that.

Yes, metalkid's is far superior. I only had to rare candy my eevee to level 11 and got a wonderful idea of IVs...it doesn't take all that long either.

Linky's for the win! http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/OnlineProgram/Calculators/IV.aspx

If you want a mixed sweeper, for Charizerd, try this:

Charizard @: Leftovers
Trait: Blaze
Lonely/Rash Nature
Flamethrower/Fire Blast/Overheat
Earthquake
Substitute
Focus Punch. The first slot has Special Attacks, so yeah.

The thing with that set is that dragonite does it much better. 134 base attack>85 base attack. Chari does have more speed, the one advantage it has.

Well guess it has to be a Physical or sp. sweeper then.

Specszard FTW! If you use a physical Zard, use bellyzard, since DD on Chari is outclassed by Dnite again.

Supersyther, you realize it's spelled "scyther?" Anyways, just use the rare candy method. Metalkid is the hardcore IV calculator...serebii's is lol. And use toothache's set. Bellyzard is easy to counter.
