How do EVs and IVs work..?

Serebii will be your best friend. ;)
EVs
IVs

The two links above tell you about EV's and IV's and how they work. If you have any further questions about it, visit the DPPt FAQ and see if you can find where they talk about the two. Happy Training!

Also, how do i obtain high IV, Does it work if i just have 2 high IV parents and breed them? with patience of course ;)

Can anyone explain how I could do lets say the monotype challenge, and get the pokemon I want with only one ds? :/, Like if I wanted pokemon that you can't obtain early in the game, would it be possible to trade from here, and trade with what I have on my current save, and then I clear my save file, and then they trade me the pokemon I want? o_O Like they give fillers for my stuff, I remake, then I give fillers for the ones I want? Is that possible? :/
 
I know this is probably a dumb question but where would a Shedinja learn Swords Dance?
 
Hey, I have a question. Ok, so my friend last week said he needed to borrow my Platinum for trading purposes. Guess what he does? HE GETS AN ACTION REPLAY AND SETS ALL THE ITEMS TO 999!!! I AM PISSED OFF AT HIM!

Now, can anyone tell me how to delete these items? THANKS in advance. D:
 
why would you toss it if you have 999 items of stuff. Sounds like a very generous gift to me =) But yeah just toss them if you dont want them
 
I know this is probably a dumb question but where would a Shedinja learn Swords Dance?

Prevent Nincada from evolving until level 25. At level 25, immediately after it evolves into Ninjask, it will learn Swords Dance. As Shedinja is created after it finishes evolving (including learning moves) with the same moves as the Ninjask, the new Shedinja will also know Swords Dance.
 
Hello, I don't know if I asked this question before, but here it goes.

I'm training a Larvitar to a Tyrnaitar with Adamant Nature. Now I know 4 EVs = 1 point in stats. What I don't get is this.

EV: 76 hp/ 252 attack/ 180 speed

does this mean I need those numbers in EV points (ie the 4 up to 76) or the point in stats? (ie 1 to 76?)
 
okay so my tyraintar should after reaching 76 EV points should have a +19 to it's hp stat correct?
 
Can Umbreon relearn Baton Pass via Move Tutor? Cause my friend traded me a SHINY!Umbreon and I want it to have the Trap Passer set. -hopes and prays-

If not, then what can I replace Baton Pass with? :/
 
After taking a quick check at Serebii, no, it won't learn/relearn Baton pass by any move tutor in any game at all D:

It could have been taught it when still an Eevee, obviously, but it won't be able to learn it now.

Sorry, but you'll have to find another move XP (No idea which one tho... I stink at movesets D:)

The game gets boring after a while. D:


Oh, by the way, should I start a new game? Maybe after I trade my LEGIT Pokemon to HeartGold? (When I get the National Dex, DUH!)
