3rd Gen EV training Question

Oh, well, that's not horribly bad, but there can be a fair amount of EVs in it already, depending on how it got those 18 levels. You probably should double-check.

By checking the stats, right?


If so, these are them :


Attack : 47
Defense : 35
Sp. Atk : 80
Sp. Def : 64
Speed : 73
 
It's hard to check by stats, as nature and IVs (individual values) will complicate such a method. Your best bet is to use berries that reduce EV points in a certain stat by 10. The berries are as follows:

Pomeg: reduces HP
Kelpsy: reduces Attack
Qualot: reduces Defense
Hondew: reduces Sp. Att.
Grepa: reduces Sp. Def.
Tamato: reduces Speed

Basically, get a mass number of the 6, and feed each type to the Pokémon until it says that the stat can't go any lower. However many berries you used (minus 1) times 10 would be around how many EVs it had in the stat. Of course, if you plan on retraining its EVs, using the same berries to remove unwanted EVs is a good idea too.
 
3 is the right amount. EVs are divided by 4 in the stat calculations so, since Zubat gives 1 EV for speed, it takes 4 to see the stat go up by 1. Every EV, not just speed, is divided by 4. Hope this helps.
 
puptiar247 is right. Every four points you earn will raise your stat by +1. So if you didn't EV train your espeon against those 12 zubats, speed wouldn't have gone up at all. Serebii has a great EV guide and lists places to find good EV training pokemon. I havn't been here very long so I don't know if this place has an EV guide.
 
Just to add to my earlier posting. You have to be at level 100 to notice the 3 point speed increase. Here's the formula:

Stat = RoundDown((( BaseStat * 2 + IV + RoundDown( EV/4 ) ) * Level/100 + 5 ) * P)

It's that Level/100 that keeps you from realizing the full 3 points until you get to level 100. BTW, P = personality, which can be 90%, 100%, or 110%, depending on which personality type you have. There is a thread on this but I can't post the link to it because I don't have the required number of posts. The thread number is 72415.

Thank you :) I was starting to see that.

Thanks:) I will look for that :)
