Okay, so does this seem right:
I want to raise my Eevee (lvl 1)'s special attack:
I feed it 10 calciums = 100 EVs
And then I fight 76 Golducks (each Golduck gives 2EV for SP A) = 152 EV
Total: 252
So this would max out my Eevee's Special attack EVs?

EV points question!!! I'm making a tank pokemon. So I have pokerus and a macho brace and I am killing gravellors for the up 2 def. I also ate 10 vits for defence. I would like to know how many gravelors I would have to kill. I know its 255 EVs max for the stat so I'm also going to raise Special Defence also and would like to know which pokemon is very common and the best for boosting special defence. And what is the name of the power item and boosts special defence?

With 10 vitamins, Pokerus, and a Macho Brace, it will take exactly 19 Graveler to maximize your Defense. Also, the practical maximum is 252, not 255.
The most common is probably Tentacool and Tentacruel, but there are likely better ways.
The Power item for Special Defense is the Power Band.

The most common Pokemon that gives Sp. Def is Tentacool. You can pretty much find it wherever you surf. The Power Item is the Power Band.

Most importantly that kind of thread wouldn't actually go in this forum. [In DPPt]
Second, yes, there already is an 'official' Pokemon nickname thread here

My bad I mean I have a power belt. That is good! I have both a Power Band and a Power Belt. Also someone told me when your pokemon is finished with its 510 total EVs all you do is rape your pokemon with rare candies to lvl. 100. Is that true? Also will I still receive EV points if I throw in the pokemon I want to EV train but then switch it off with a different pokemon to kill it because I am EV training a low level.

Yes, once 510 EVs are used, any method to reach level 100 will have no effect on the Pokemon's stats.
Yes, EVs are distributed to all of the participants.
Hello I have a question about the Nintendo DS - I hope this is the right forum this time.
I was gonna buy a DS lite, but it turns out a friend has the old DS and he wants to sell it. Should I go for the used and cheaper old ds or is it worth paying extra to get the lite edition? Basically I have come to the understanding that they are identical except for their size.
I know it's not 100% on topic but I couldn't find a thread for the different gameboys/ds etc. And as ds was the console for the 4th generation I guessed I could put it here.

Need help with EV training and vitamins.
I'm currently EV training a Pokemon in SDef. I've been killing Tentacruels, and they give two EVs for SDef. The problem I came across is that I may have forgotten to count a Tentacruel, but I'm not entirely sure.
I'm thinking about solving this by giving my Pokemon a Zinc when my EV count is in the 90's, since the Vitamin limit is 100 EVs from my understanding.
If it were to be at exactly 90 EVs, it will just accept the Zinc and I'll get to the limit of 100, right?
But what if I DID forget to count two EVs and it was actually at 92 EVs, will it accept the Zinc and max it at 100 since that's the limit, or will it pass it up straight to 102? Or will it not accept it at all and keep it at 92?

Well, The only thing you can do when you forget EVs is go max out another stat and come back to that after say you got 252 attack, 6 hp for examples. Then just kill as many as you think till you get 252 for the effort ribbon.
For your actual question, Yes as long as the EVs arnt over 100 it will accept the vitamins. I believe as long as it's not past 110 it will take the vitamins. I'm not entirely sure though. ( What i mean by that, Is i believe that if you have like 95 EVs a vitamin may still work and will add 10 and you will receieve 105)

Tentacools give out 1 EV and Tentacruels give out 2. And I do not think so. The limit for EVs is 252 for each stat and you only can have a total of 510 EVs. You can only eat 10 vitamins max. So if you were at 90 legit EV's then you would end up with 190 EV's. So that would be no. Just because you have 90 EVs you trained from does not mean vitamins will not work. Unless if you maxed the EV's to 252 but then you start using vitamins on that EV then it will not give you EV's at all, you are just wasting vitamins if you did that. Vitamins literally make EV training faster and a whole lot easier. And it is always recommended if you use vitamins before you start EV training. And try to EV train your pokemon at a low level.

Well it depends. After you beat the elite you go to the credits and then straight in your home in Twinleaf Town. If you want to walk all the way to the PC in Sandgem town and teach a pokemon there fly, you can go ahead and do that. Or you can catch a wild Starly and teach it fly near Sandgem. Either way it works to where you don't have to bring a pokemon that knows fly to the elite 4.
