Hey. First of all, I am not a newb when it comes to EV's. I wrote up a tutorial about them here. So I maxed out my Bagon's Speed and Attack, didn't use a single mineral, it had pokerus. I used an HP UP to pump it up that last 6 EV's and checked with a Carbos that its speed was maxed and a protein that its defense was maxed (It wouldn't take them.) When I went to the lady, she says I still need more EV's. What gives?

It won't take in the drugs if it has over 100 EVs, not because it's maxed. So you're not full all the way yet... Battle more pokemon I guess.

It doesn't work like that. If a pokemon has 255 EV's it won't accept vitamins or EV's in the stat. 100 EV's from vitamins is the maximum you can give.

The only explanation I have is... your math is screwed up (no offense).

I agree. I'm no noob when it comes to EVs either, and I generally great when it comes to the math... but once I was EV training a Beldum: I was sure I got everything right (Macho Brace and Pokerus), but the lady said "You have to go for it harder". I still don't know where I went wrong.

I'd reset or give it a crap load of the happiness berries, and start over.

Protein does attack and iron does defence. Was that a typo or was that the mistake you made?

Yeah, what the guy above me said. Also, as many people are saying u probably just got yer math wrong. I get a notebook and fight and I write down every last EV point I get. U're not a noob at it but writing a tutorial about it ain't for you. :P No offense though.

i always tend to get insecure towards the end, but it always is perfect.. first time in my life i like math, it's just 'right' you know.. a fact, reality

anyway, cema, on your tutorial: those aren't the very best EV-spots.. i made a thread on it (already like 2 weeks a go) and there are the top spots in

Not quite. You can only give a Pokemon vitamins for a certain stat until it has at least 100 EVs in that stat.

So you probably did count wrong.

Yes there is. I don't know where to get it at, though.

Oh actually I found someone who knew. I posted a thread over it and she said that the guy looking for "burmy"...if you show him the 3 different types of Burmy he'll give it to you. You know how to catch a Burmy? Well, just in case, it's a rare pokemon that can be found in Honey slathered trees. Give it a try!
