Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

I have decided that I will start EV training, but I have some questions.

1. If a pokemon get experience from the Experience Share, does that pokemon also get the EVs of the battle?

2. Once a pokemon gets to level 65-70, at which point it's hard to get that pokemon a level up, where is the best place to go to level them up? I have a method for getting a pokemon to level 70 or so, but what then?

3. If my pokemon has pokerus, as well as a power item, and I gain 1 EV point in the power item's stat, how many EVs does that pokemon recieve?

Thanks to whoever answers. :D
 
1. Yes. Any and all Pokemon that gain experience in battle gain EVs.
2. Battle some of the high leveled trainers at the Battle Zone, I guess...
3. Pokerus Bonus * (EV + Item Effect)
Gaining 1 EV:
2 [Pokerus Bonus] * (1 [EV] + 4 [Power Item Effect]) = 2 * 5 = 10 EVs.

Does this help?
 
Another question:

Is the Pokemon's level included in the catch rate formula? Because when I checked Bublbapedia's formula, it did not include the level as a factor.

For example, would it be harder to catch a level 100 Bidoof than a lvl 3 bidoof?
 
The formula is dependent on the wild Pokemon's current HP and TOTAL HP. Typically, high level Pokemon have higher HP than lower leveled Pokemon, right? I can't quite put what I'm saying into words, but do you understand it?
 
why when i go into the wifi room are there a green bit and a yellow bit?
 
That means you have over 8 people registered. As you register more than 16, another will appear, and so on.
Depending on what page your friends are registered on, that's the coloured floor that they'll appear on.

Example.

It is possible to have 31 IVs in all stats, however it is very uncommon and very hard to do so. Many breeders or trainers who catch a Pokémon with all IVs that are to the max are considered quite fortunate. However, just to reassure that your IVs are correct, here is another IV Calculator source that is known by many.

I have a question about Heatran. I'm playing in DIamond by the way. So I finished going through the cave the first time, I beat my rival, etc. Now I decided to go through it again to get Heatran. After using many max repels to get through the dungeon and to Heatran's cave, there was nothing there. What am I doing wrong? Is it a Platinum exclusive?

After running through the cave teamed up with Buck, he will leave to go to the Survival Area in one of the houses once he obtained the Lava Rock. You must find him there, talk to him, and he will tell you how removing the Lava Rock awakened a Pokémon. This Pokémon will be Heatran, the one you are searching for. From here, you can go back to Stark Mountain, enter the cave and you will find Heatran available for you to battle and capture.
 
Fairly sure you have to talk to Buck after you do that. Try going back after that and he/she should be there. Don't forget to save!
 
Vitamins in EV training

Okay, I know vitamins are used to speed along EV training (i.e. you can only use 10 per category), but I had an idea. Assuming the money was there, would it be beneficial to use 10 vitamins on all of a given Pokemon's stats (e.g. giving Charizard 10 irons for defense, even though I should be EV training it's Sp. Attack).

I don't know that much about EV training as you can see :'(
 
Definitely not. Vitamins automatically add 10 EVs of their respective stat to your pokemon. Since EVs cap at 255, using vitamins in any stat other than the ones you're focusing on is wasting your EVs.

Did you get the stone back from that Girl who took it?

In case you didn't notice, Buck is a male. O_O Also, you never get it back from him. All you need to do is talk to him after you go through the mountain the first time, and then Heatran will show up once you go through it again.
