Doesn't matter when you EV train them, the end result is the same. It's just more visible at the later levels than the earlier. And yeah, pokewalker doesn't give EVs so it's just another rare candy or daycare.
 
help?

Thanks guys!
While I'm here I might as well ask another question.

OK I lost my old Heart Gold game, so I got a new one just a few weeks ago.
I've never had a competitive team before, but I want to form one.

What should I work on for my Vaporeon? I think it will be hard to tell at a low level though.

Level: 20
Calm nature
Attack: 29
Defense: 33
Sp. Attack: 54
Sp.Defense: 48
Speed: 36

Surf
Tackle
Sand attack
Water gun

I plan on giving it Left overs and Aqua ring as I did in my old game.
It really ticked off my friends XD.
 
Thanks, I've got an idea on what I should be covering now.
And a few other Pokemon. :D
Definitely bookmarking that site.
 
Power items

When my pokemon holding lets say a power anklet receives max effort values and gets the effort ribbon(heartgold), I don't need to make it hold the item anymore right?
 
Correct, after you obtain the Effort Ribbon, it means EV training is complete, and it will never leave.
 
I'm using a kadabra for a NU team (yes)
My question is, should I go for +speed and specs or +SpA and scarf?

Kadabra is basically outclassed by Espeon, Gardevoir and Jynx.

I don't even need to tell you how wrong your assumption is with that. :/ lol
 
Any suggestions for Nature and EVs for a Tentacruel with this moveset?
-Toxic Spikes
-Surf
-Sludge Bomb
-Giga Drain
I know Rapid Spin is a usual Tentacruel move, but I'll just be playing with friends and they don't usually use entry hazards. I figure I need some combination of HP, Defense, SpAtk, and Speed EVs, and probably a nature that enhances one of those and decreases Attack, but any more specific recommendations?
Also, is Black Sludge or Big Root a better hold item? Or is there a better option I can't think of? (I only have one set of Leftovers, and Tentacruel's not getting them.)
Also also, any suggestions for a Skarmory hold item? Again, my supply of Leftovers is limited, so I'll have to find something else.

In gen 5 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Sp.Def @ Bold and in gen 4, 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 Sp.Def @ Calm. Black Sludge if you don't have more Leftovers. Knock Off or Toxic is probably better than Giga Drain too. STAB Sludge Bomb does more damage than Giga Drain on everything not named Swampert, even water types. (In gen 5 Giga Drain is fine though due to the power increase)

On Skarmory, use Shed Shell to avoid Magnezone trapping you.

I know. But I'm still using it. I don't like gardevoir and jynkx, and espeon is on every single NU team.
I know kadabra is not the best choice, it's just my choice. I'm just asking which item should I give to it.
 
Can someone suggest to me some good moves for my Glaceon? It's for my Hail Team.

Glaceon
Moves:
-Blizzard
-Water Pulse (?)
-Mirror Coat
-Shadow Ball (?)

Please tell me if I should replace some of my moves with others. I really think my Glaceon is not at it's best standard. :/

Hm, well, I'd give it Hidden power Electric/Fire, in place of Water Pulse~ You don't have very many choices aside from Hidden Power, unfortunately. ;;
 
Blizzard has a pretty low accuracy- you could think about switching it to Ice beam which has a way higher accuracy and you could also replace water pulse with surf, but I'm not quite sure if Glaceon could learn it.............. :S
 
Glaceon doesn't really have any other options than to run a choice set, so much outclasses it and this set really isn't that good either tbh. But since you asked, I will provide:


Glaceon @ Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
Nature: Timid / Modest
Trait: Snow Cloak
~ Blizzard
~ Hidden Power Ground / Hidden Power Grass
~ Baton Pass
~ Ice Beam / Shadow Ball

I don't think there's such a thing but is there some calculator to calculate how many EVs my Pokemon has? How would I know when my wanted stat is maxes out in EVs?
Click to expand...
You can, if your Pokemon is at a fairly high level and you know its IVs.
For example if I see a level 50 Metagross with 187 HP, I'd know it has an HP IV of 31 and EV of 252.

It's not recommended though. Much better if you just tally your EV gains as you EV train.

Does anyone has a gen 5 game in Jap ? Basically what id like to be done is this;

Could you test ghost type "Curse" and use it a few times on the same target. Id like to know if it stacks just like it did in gen 4. Proof would be awesome too lol
Click to expand...
Wait, did it stack in 4th gen? AFAIK it just failed and you didn't lose HP either.
Though it does work through Sub now.
