    Guys, I got one strong part, 8 pokemon lvl 100 and some nice time played, but there are a few things i would like to change in my game... Any tips?

    *I need one shiny!!!!! Im 400 hours gaming!!!

    *I need a fast way to EV pokémon!!!

    * And I need a cool pokémon to train to lvl100( he must also be strong :P )

    I hope you guys can help

    ps. I like dark pokémon, do not give me tips for a sunflora or something!
     
    First, there are no tips for "shiny" Pokes. Only patience.

    Next, the best/easiest way to train is to get another RSE version, and then create multiple Secret Bases between the two. In the secret bases, you will set up 6 of the following Pokes:

    3 HP = Clefable
    3 Atk = Shiftry
    3 Def = Golem
    3 SAtk = Beautifly
    3 SDef = Dustox
    3 Spd = Raichu

    So there you have 6 bases where you can gain 18 EV points in each category per day. If you let your training Poke hold the Macho Brace, it will earn DOUBLE EV points (36). So if you are earning 36 EV points per day, it will take 7 days to get the max points (252) in one stat. To train even faster, if you have a buddy (or if you have another GBA and game of your own), you can continually mix records with the other game, and then you can also battle again in the Secret Base without having to wait another day.

    Lastly, a cool Poke to train is sunflo.......just kidding. Since you have an affinity for the DARK-types, a no-brainer is Tyranitar.

    why do u get 18 EV's per day?

    6 Clefable x 3 HP EVs each = 18 HP EVs

    and when you battle with someone else in a secret base does this mean you get EV's?

    Yes, hence my suggestion to do so.

    Besides, it doesn't take too long to get 510 EV anyway, in comparison to levelling up to L100 (even quicker with Macho Brace, Pokerus or vitamins).

    Wow thats spammy

    anyway do you have all off the legendarys?
     
    Legendaries only give you 1 EV point anyway, you get more EV out of evolved Pokemon (Pokemon in their 2nd evolution give you 2 EV, Marshtomp for example, where as a 3rd evolution like Swampert give you 3 EV).

    What is your point of this comment?

    Anyways, the Pokes I listed are the easiest/lowest level Pokes that you can get that will give you the most EVs. For example, you can get Raichu/Clefable at Lv5, Beautifly/Dustox at Lv10, and Shiftry at Lv14. The one exception is Golem who cannot be had until Lv25. Battling a new Lv5 baby Poke against a Lv25 Golem can be difficult. The solution? Take those 6 Golems to the Move Deleter and delete any attacking move it might have and replace it with a weak non-attacking move that it learns itself or via TM or HM. Can you say Mud Sport?

    How about having a Pokemon that has very well Defenses and Sp. also. A Shuckle will be great it could use Subsitute, protect and then Toxic and stall.

    Well they haven't answered ur 3rd question so if u need a kool pkmn why dont u get an electric pkmn since electric moves r kool(ok i might be a little on the contest side but who cares? its still considered kool.) n feed it pokeblocks until its koolness is full n presto u hav a kool pkmn with kool moves. any pokemon can be strong if u use strategy against ur opponent so there is almost no such thing as a strong pkmn
     
    uh...forget that secret base 7 days to EV train thing...it's bit mental that is.

    it shouldn't take more than 4 hours total to ev train ny pokemon.

    all you need is the macho brace.

    for specific EV's fight the following.

    Atk = Phoochyena
    Def = sandshew / geodude / torkoal
    Spd = zigzagoon / linnoone/ eletrike / manectric / wingull
    SpA = Spinda / Slugma <--- if emerald soo easy
    Sdf = tentacool

    there's a pretty nifty guide on gamefaqs that tell u which pokemon
    give which EV's some pretty common poke's give off lots of good EV's
    all u need is a macho brace and some patience, it really shouldn't take you
    more than 4 hours to fully EV train any pokemon team.

    as for shinies, there's no way to make 'em appear faster than using a cheat
    device but that's kinda lame. just be patient you'll get one eventually.

    cool poke's to train...um...here's some suggestions.

    Swablu / Altaria <--- has nutt defense and can Dragon Dance come on...
    Cacnea / Cacturne <--- yeah...it's just cool
    Zubat / Golbat / Crobat <--- breed for moves 1st
    Duskull / Dusclops <--- Powerful and sadly ignored.
    Corsola <--- I just like it, it's sadly overlooked
    Volbeat <--- surprisingly strong bug poke...u should check it out.

    ok so yeah some of my suggestions are underused pokes..ok they all are
    but what's the fun in playing what everyone else is playing.

    It's funny how people put down things they don't understand. Unlike the four hours it takes you to EV train, depending on random encounters with certain Pokes, it takes me under 15 minutes to totally EV train my Pokes. The initial setup is time consuming (setting up 7 bases for each stat on my Emerald), but after that the time it saves is priceless. Even if you don't set up the bases, all you need is another game/GBA in which to mix records and you can train fully within an hour. If you don't have that luxury, your random encounter advice certainly does suffice.
