Do you EV train your starters?

[KairiHearts]

What is EV training?Is it where you just raise your pokemon?

 

[Moltres111]

Not exactly. EV training is a special process where you only battle one species of pokemon over and over again. After doing this quite a few times, your pokemon will have gained stat points known as EVs. For every 4 EVs you gain, +1 more than regular is added when you level up/when you reach level 100. For example, a Modest Magnezone (+ Special Attack, - Attack) would normally have 158 Attack on level 100 (If it has the lowest Attack possible, that is), but if you give it 4 Attack EVs while levelling, it would have 159 Attack on level 100.

Do you understand this?

And no, EV training isn't boring. -_- At least not in my opinion.

ill breed the starter for ivs and natures after the E4 because its too time consuming to ev train in the beginning of the game (and hard)

 

[Timbjerr]

Why bother? I don't have access to wifi. I'll never need to build a competitively viable team. Even if I did, I'd more likely just breed a new one instead of using the one I played through the game with.

I only EV train the 1st two pokemon in my party, my starter and a random bird. (starly, pidgey) xDD

 

[Lati-Fan95]

Well, I don't EV-train my starter, I don't EV train at all...^^ I know how to do it, but it's too complicated to look at every Poke you pwn with your Pokemon...^^ And, I think regular training makes everything more challenging, so I'm going for non EV-trained Pokes!^^

 

[Fenrir Reki]

No I dont because I tend not to use my starter much anyways. I dont think I ever EV trained my starter before.

 

[Ayselipera]

I don't ev train any of my pokemon. I only play in game so there isn't a point for me.

 

[TBM_Christopher]

I don't EV train the starter mainly because I'd rather go through the story and enjoy it and THEN worry about competitive Pokemon. I also don't have the patience to EV train right from the start. :P

 

[Caelus]

I don't really care about EV training most of the time, but I did attempt it on my last Diamond file with Empoleon. I'd rather not care about it, personally.

 

[JeTz]

I will once I finish the game and I will breed my starter with better Nature , IVs and i will start EV train it. :]

 

[Fire Wolf]

Yes, I do, but only when my starter has got a good nature and good IV's.

 

[Chaos Uxie]

Yeah I do.i always EV train my pokemons whenever i have the chance and specially my starter

 

[iLaxbe!]

Never did. Y'know, I'm no player, if I can finish the game and learn its storyline, it's enough for me.

 

[JTrainer]

I EV train all of my pokemon, so yeah, I EV train my starter.


Okay, I'll admit that I use an AR, but I use extremely little of it. The least I use it for is so I can check my pokemon's IVs, have eggs hatch faster, and encounter the right pokemon to battle for EV training (but I always encounter a pokemon in the area it would normally be found). I don't abuse the AR and do something like teaching a magikarp roar of time, or giving a spiritomb the wonder guard ability. That would be going way too far.

 

[560cool.]

Nope , I hardly ever EV Train .

I don't focus on that . I focus more on the type of my Pokemon and their moves ! I believe these two are vital , not EV Training ! ^^

 

[fiox]

ev train is a waste of time (my opinion)
