    i am still not sure about ev as i trained my charizard up and its stats were alot lower than my friends. and can you get a macho brace in fr
     
    EV training takes time and the ability to keep track of what EVs you have. It's also useless unless you start from a very low level (heck, level 5 is the best level to start). If you started EV training when it was level 50, it's already been loaded with EVs from other Pokemon its fought; EVs that it might not need. There's also a limit on how many EVs a Pokemon can have: a Pokemon can only have a maximum of 255 EVs to one stat, and it can only have a grand total of all EVs of 510. So if you've maxed out your EVs already, there's no point in EV training.

    EVs are not the only thing that affect stats. A Pokemon's nature will raise one stat up by 10% and lower another stat by 10%. Check the RS FAQ for information on what nature affects what stat.

    IVs also affect stats. IVs are determined the moment you receive/capture/hatch a Pokemon and CANNOT be changed. An IV value will range from 0-31 and there is a different value for six stats. Each point of IV adds one stat point to the stat it affects.

    For example: Your Charizard's IV values are (Remember, just an example. I don't know your Charizard's IV actual IV value) 12 HP, 28 Attack, 5 Defense, 20 Sp. Attack, 18 Sp. Defense, and 30 Speed. That'll add 12 poins to your HP, 28 to attack, 5 to defense, 20 to Sp. Attack, 18 to Sp. Defense, and 30 to Speed.

    There is not a set IV value for each species of Pokemon. It's randomly determind when you get it.

    You can get a Macho Brace in the Viridian Gym. Check where Giovanni was standing after he leaves.

    EDIT: You should ask this in the Pokemon GB Movesets and Strategies forum instead. They can explain EVs better and guide you through it better.

    Until then, here's the best way to EV train a decent Pokemon.

    Hatch the Pokemon you want at level 5 with a nature that you want (like I said, read the RS FAQ for information on natures). Grab a Zigzagoon or something with the Pickup ability. Battle wild Pokemon and gather up some Rare Candies. Use all of them on the Pokemon you just hatched.

    Once you've reached a level capable of killing off most wild Pokemon, it'll be time to use it to fight and EV train. Fight ONLY the Pokemon I suggest to you in your other thread. Keep track of how many EVs you get on a piece of paper or something.

    Err... tch, in short words, EVs can be raised through vitamins too, the Macho Brace only quickens their growth, an' personalities can also influence STATS.

    If it's lvl 100 then it most likely has its EVs at max already.

    It probably has ta do with bad IVs, which are pre-determined for each individual pokemon an' over which you have no control.

    Try some vitamins(HP UP, PROTEIN etc.). If they don't work, tch, then it's just a case of bad luck with your Charizard an' ya'll probably be luckier with another one. ^^;;
     
    your IV's might be why your charizard has lower stats
     
    You have to use the Itemfinder DIRECTLY over the same spot that Giovanni stands/stood. This technique is also the only way you can find the two Leftovers on FR/LG.
     
    Leftovers is a hold item that restores 1/18 of your pokmeon's health every turn. Use item finder on the exact spots where both Snorlax were sleeping. You can also use the item finder where Mr. Fugi was standing to get the Soothe Bell, which makes your pokemon calm and friendly. Great for happiness evolutions.
