    Ok so ive seen this mentioned in different posts and have no idea what it is lol

    So what is EV training?

    How do you breed a team?-im gona guess you use daycares to get eggs and then raise them? but how specific/what do you breed for?

    Thanx for the help
     
    To answer your question in the very basics:

    Each pokemon in the wild gives a certain amount of effort values every time you kill it. These effort values, depending on the pokemon, contribute to your pokemon's devlopment in hp,attack,special attack,defense,special defense, or speed. The maximum effort value total for each pokemon is 510. After 510 effort values (a bunch of pokemon have been killed) have been distributed to a specific pokemon in your party, effort values stop accumulating. The art of EV training is to train your pokemon on certain species to get less than or equal to (a maximum) of 252 (maximum EV allowed per stat) EV in a stat that you want to strengthen on a pokemon.

    That's probably confusing, i hope not, but that's just really really the basic goal.


    You breed pokemon to breed something called Individual values (which further enhances the power of each stat, maximum is 31). IV's are the basis for the phrase "no two pokemon are alike". The max IV for each stat is 31, although it is extremely rare (HACKS) to have 31 in each stat. IVs are passed down by parent pokemon (three IVs per parent) into the offspring.

    ex. Ditto + Eevee
    Ditto has a/b/c/d/e/f (each letter is an IV, and is in the spot of hp/attack/sp atk/defense/sp defense/speed)
    Eevee has u/v/w/x/y/z

    The offspring eevee (in the 4th-gen) gets three IV from each parent. (In the 3rd generation there's a glitch that lets the same stat get inherited if both parents give the same stat by chance, so the pokemon would only inherit 5)

    new eevee has a/v/c/d/x/y

    You also breed for a correct nature. (Each nature with the exception of ....4 i believe promote one stat and demotes another.)

    Those are really basics. I remember I was so confused when I first started EV training and "competitive breeding/raising"

    Go to gamefaqs and serebii. There are some great guides on gamefaqs that can answer all of your questions. It took me about 2 weeks to get the full hang of it. But I didn't spend my whole time trying to get it. It comes into place.

    Seriously, go to gamefaqs!!!
     
    Not really in depth, but basically EV training is having an untouched pokemon, and say, facing a pokemon with a high stat, (such as defense) so that in turn, when your pokemon levels up, its defense will raise. Keep in mind that this is just the basic concept if that's what your looking for and not actual directions on how to do it.
     
    EV training is a game mechanic included from third-generation games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green) onward.
    The older games do not have effort values.
     
    EV training is simple. When you defeat a pokemon in battle in-game, any pokemon that participated in the fight against said pokemon is awarded an EV point. Purposely fighint the same wild pokemon over and over is pretty much what EV training is.

    For example, you can run around right about Littleroot town in Emerald and continously fight Zigzagoon. Each one defeated will award you one Speed EV.

    You can Surf around to run into wild Tentacool, and each one will award you one Special Defense EV.

    In Diamond, there is an area called Ruin Maniacs Cave or something to that effect. Geodudes are there; each one beaten will award you one Defense EV.

    There are tricks to speed up the EV training process, and there is a lot of "text" to soak in to pretty much make it second nature. As people before me have said, it would be a pretty good idea to go to another pokemon site that explains it, as they do so in full depth. An easy way to find what you're looking for would also be Google. EV Training [insert name of the pokemon game here].
