I asked my parents if it was and they said yes. But if it's not, what should I do to be able to battle people around the world? Don't really want my EV training to go down the drain.

Either your parents aren't very good with computers, or your router just has very poor wireless capabilities.

Ok, I would really love to make a thread of my team but I have absolutly no idea what are EVs and how they work. I have EV trained before ever since I played Pokemon. All I did was raise levels. How do you find out the Pokemon's EVs if you didnt EV train the Pokemon?

Anybody know a good place that tell me this? If not, could someone explain me this in a PM?

Raising levels is not EV training. It is impossible to find EVs if you didn't keep track of them. There should be a sticky on this site somewhere that will help you understand EVs.

Start over. Use the EV reducing berries to remove all EVs. You can still post a team, and put the EVs you are planning to use.

Hi ya'll, quick question... I find that, using the IV calculator on Serebii, when I calculate a Pokemon's IV's, the HP type and power tend to change from when it was level ____ to level ____. Is that supposed to happen, or am I entering the information wrong (into the calculator) or what?:\

It's because of EV's. You can't cheack the IV's of a Pokemon that has fought battles.

Also, Iv counts are more accurate as the level of the pokemon goes up, so if you want to know the exaxt IV's of a pokemon, that said pokemon must be at lvl. 100.

I know it's cause of EVs but the only Pokemon I would check HP type/power for would be my EV trained Pokemon, thus I know their EVs and I enter that info. Here's the problem:

Example: My Larvitar at level 10 has blah blah blah stats, I type them in and say I get HP Ice, 60 Power. Okay. But then when it grows levels, (I kept track of the EVs), I type in the stats, plus the number of EVs per stat, and the HP is something different, say, dark 70 power. Is the safest way using HP (like getting the type you want) at level 100, cause it will stay the same?

Yes, you shouldn't really check IVs until like Level 50 or so.

But what ever HP type/power you get at level 100 is final right?

It easily OHKOs the most defensive Rhyperior. Even with no attack boosts it scrapes off most of a defensive version's health.

Technically your Hidden Power doesn't change, but because the IV calculators are rough estimates then the Hidden Power they choose can change.

What I find easiest, is in game using a Kecleon to determine what type of HP your pokemon has, then using the IV calculator click the button that locks the Hidden Power type, therefore you should only get a rough estimate of the power (mind you that will still change until level 100 but at least you know the ballpark)

Confused a bit about EV training, so tell me if I'm wrong:

If you want to make your TTar have 252 HP/252 SpA/6 Speed, could you just breed a Larvitar, battle x number of Bidoofs, battle x number of Gastlys, and get those 6 Spe EVs, and then keep battling Bidoofs to Lv. 55 (because you cannot get more HP EV's)

Please assist.

Yes, but you don't need to battle those Bidoof...O_o Once you've maxed the EV's (i.e. 510), then you won't receive anymore ev's, so you can battle whichever pokemon you please.

Question about critical hits. I know they ignore boosts from things like Iron Defense, Amnesia, etc., but will crits also ignore the Sandstorm Sp.Def boost?

can i use exp share on my newly bred monster to ev train it? basically, do the ev points transfer along with the exp share? should i battle with a strong pkmn as if i was ev training that particular monster until my weak monster reaches a high enough level to battle?

oh and do people use the same ev trained monsters for contests, or different ones?

I think I read somewhere that using EXP share gives both of them equal EV's.

And I suggest Daycaring it to 20! Daycare centre dosent give off EV's
