I hope this is the right thread for this

Okay, so I bred and raised a Raichu from an egg. I'm trying to get her to have high defenses, as well as good speed and attack, and I do plan on using her for wifi battles too. She cant take anymore proteins or anything, so I need help figuring out the best pokemon to EV or IV train her with. so heres the stats:

Name: Hikari
Species: Raichu
Level: 42

Nature: Sassy

HP: 129

Atk: 86
Def:75
Sp. Atk: 94
Sp. Def: 106
Speed: 88

for speed there is a trainer west of eterna who has 6 magikarps.. that is awesome for speed EVs. (fisherman alec, i think, he is in a top-right facing corner on the bridge.)

for attack, go west of sunyshore until you hit the grass. there should be a rich boy with a luxio. re-battle him and the nearest fisherman southeast of him (should have 2 gyarados). if swapping out and using the appropriate power item this will be very fast EVs.

for defense, i usually go to oreburgh mine and just beat up geodudes.

Okay, lemme ask a few questions:

A) Do you have wifi at home, and if so, have you set up your DS to connect to it?

B) Do you get any Error messages?
 
Merry Christmas. :)

I am going to be evolving my Feebas. I am using Wiki Berries. I can feed Feebas 11 of these Poffins I believe. Does anyone know what level mininum I will need the 11 Poffins to be on in order for it to evolve?

Macho Brace would likely be the best one in your case, so that you do not need to keep switching around. Also, for training your Raichu I would suggest going south of Solaceon Town. The Bibarel and Staravia that are common there both have a weakness to Electric-type moves and normally give off 2 Attack and 2 Speed EVs, respectively.

Okay, thanks. Her speesd is too low in my opinion, so i gotta build it up. so and Staravia and Bibarel? any other suggestions?
 
I'm new to ev training, and have a few questions:
Do you only train two stats?
Why?
How do you know which stats to train?

A pokemon can have a total of 510 EVs. A max of 255 EVs can go into one stat, so usually it is ideal to train two stats. However, keep in mind that 4 EV points equal 1 stat point, so you only have to reach 252 (which is divisible by 4) EVs in one stat. Then you could put the leftovers into another stat.

It depends on the pokemon. For example, Alakazam is fast and has a high special stat. You would EV train it in Speed and Special Attack to max out those stats so it's better at sweeping. Other pokemon, such as Togekiss, may want EVs in multiple stats, like HP, Special Attack, and Defense but it depends on the moveset. Go here to look up good EV spreads and movesets. You can also visit this thread for additional help on deciding which stats to train for your pokemon.

Sassy increases her Special Defense, but decreases her Speed. This may be an issue, as Raichu want to be fast. A good nature would be Timid, Hasty, or Naive.

Staravia and Pikachu give 2 Speed EVs in the Trophy Garden. I believe there's a rich girl near the entrance with a Lopunny, which also gives 2 Speed EVs.

On Route 205, there's a fisherman (the one looking to the right) with 6 Magikarp. Each fish gives 1 Speed EV.

If you have Pearl, Glameow and Purugly give 1 and 2 Speed EV points, respectively. They're found on Route 218, 222, and 229.

Starly, Buizel, and Floatzel are everywhere. The first two give 1 Speed EV while the latter gives 2.

Sometimes Electrike swarm at Valley Windworks (talk to Lucas's/Dawn's sister in Sandgem to see what pokemon is swarming). They appear frequently and give out 1 Speed EV point. Pidgey (route 229), Zigzagoon (route 202), and Skitty (route 222) work as well.

I'm pretty new to EV training and i don't know much about it so..Does every pokemon you battle give EVs?

and i hope this is in the right section too..

Do you think i should restart my Diamond game? Well, i have a lvl 100 already but i didn't really know anything about hidden stats then so they're all messed up..

Thank you :3.

EV questions belong here, but this section seems more popular.. D: Just remember to ask there next time.

Every wild and trainer pokemon give EVs; however, pokemon defeated in the Battle Tower or over Wifi do not count.

That's up to you. If you have another game or a friend, you could trade your current pokemon over to store them. If you don't care, you can do a new game. What I would do is simply breed what you have and train from scratch. Just don't use the "messed up" ones for wifi since they're still okay for anything in-game.
 
Everything's messed up about them XD Moves, EVs, etc..

Is this the right place to ask this? Sorry if it's not..I'm really confused on where to ask..
How do you keep track of your EVs on paper or any way?
 
How can I find out what is the best natures for my pokemon?
