^ A pokemon can get 255 EV Points per stat, 510 in total.

Okay so if I was battling Gastly to get SpAtk points I could only battle 252 Gastleys until i wouldn't get anymore points?

 

[groudonlover]

Huh?

I was just fighting a wild Houndour in my Platinum, training my Togepi, hoping to evolve it into Togetic and Togekiss soon. But as it is only level 18, I switched to my Floatzel to KO the thing. And it used Roar. But then..

"But it failed!"

Does anyone have any answer to this?

That's the effect of when a Status-classed move misses.

Were you battling in Mist/Had you used Double Team? Otherwise it would have a 1% chance of missing; It's not impossible though, i've managed to miss an Ultima Masher with a 99% hit rate in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, but i haven't done that in Pokémon

Almost. You could battle 255 Gastly. But those last three are unnecessary, because 4 EV's = 1 Stat Point on Lv. 100. What I mean is that 252 is divisable by four, so no EVs are "lost".

Ok so 255 Gastly will give me 63 extra SpAtk points?

Yes, but so will 252 Gastly.

 

[Ru-Kun]

Yes, but so will 252 Gastly.

Okay thanks for all the help, EV training doesn't sound that hard anymore!

EV training isn't hard, it just takes ages...

Does any one know of any good place to train Pokemon that are around Lv 50-70? I just need to level up some Pokemon. The Elites is not a very good option because they range from 60-78 which is a pain to take down.

What are you doing? I finish in no more than 30 minutes. For 252/252/6, I do 10 Vitamins, Pokerus + Power Item (results in 10 EVs for a Pokemon that normally gives 1) for the first two stats, and use a vitamin for the last stat.

Could someone post for me the EVs given during one round of the elite 4 and cynthia, while using an EXP. share? I could do it myself but I'm sure it's been posted before and it's kind of an inconvenience.

Does anyone know the min level that the pkmn has to be for the serebii 4th gen IV calculator to function correctly?

Unless you're fine with being 1-3 points off (lv. 50ish), then yes.

 

[*WishMaker*]

...1-3 points off is at Lv.50?!

I'm a noob, few questions about stuff (extended answers)

Ok, so I literally haven't played pokemon since gold/silver came out and i beat it in like a day and stopped playing. I knew yellow really well, but now i have diamond and it's a lot more complex. I'm understanding most of it, but I still have a few questions.

I get the whole pal park thing, so does that mean all the other pokemon not found in diamond are imported via gb/gba (or traded from those special ones in platinum), including the legendaries? Because i have the 3 legendary birds and mew (i have the shiny mew2 card you get when u go to the first pokemon movie still, i was like 7, it was cool :P but i never figured out how to catch it in-game) on my yellow, can i transfer those over to pal park now? I don't think i have lugia on my silver, but if i get it can i transfer that 2?

In yellow the pokemon was determined by the DV stats, but it seems those have changed A LOT in diamond, can someone explain to me the new system? (i got how the stat xp works in diamond so don't waste your time)

Oh and, is there a way to check you stat xp of your pokemon in diamond?

thanks in advance

 

[BrockObama]

anything before GBA generation won't work.
pal park isn't open till you beat the game/ complete the pokedex.

fixed.

 

[Griffinbane]

Wrong. Anything before Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is incompatible with the later generations. You cannot trade/palpark from the earlier 2 generation games, that is, red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal. I'll expand when I get the chance, unless someone else beats me to it.
