Effort Value (EV) Training, as opposed to casual training, is much more effective and time consuming, but has an over all better result. Through EV training, a Gyarados' can have a higher than normal attack, health, and special defense. Those three stats are what Gyarados excels in. Before we can understand how EV training works, we need to know how it will effect our Pokemon. We all know Blissey is infamous for its insane amount of Health Points (HP). Through casual training, a level (Lv) 100 Blissey will average 600hp. EV training, however, Blissey will average 700+ hp. However, there is a trade off, which I will mention later on. That being said, what exactly is an effort value? Every Pokemon has a set number of effort values. This can range anywhere from on 1EVs to 3EVs depending on the Pokemon. Each EV relates to a stat that is most dominate to that Pokemon's species. When a Pokemon faints at the hand of one of your own, your Pokemon will receive these effort value points. YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT POKEMON YOU FIGHT! If you do not, you could get EVs in places you do not what them. If this does happen, there is a way you can get rid of unwanted EVs. Some berries have the ability to reduce a Pokemons stats. Upon request I will post what these berries are. Lets look at Blissey again. Blissey's most dominate stat is HP (followed by special defense), and if your Pokemon caused Blissey to faint, they would then gain those EVs in the HP stat, which would be 3. There are many forums that explain what Pokemon give what EVs. If this helps a lot of people, I will post my own Pokemon EV chart. The total number of EVs a Pokemon can have are 510, and the most a Pokemon can have in a single stat is 255. For every 4 EVs earned in a particular stat, equals 1 actual stat point. That being said, 255 does not divide evenly by 4, so the most a particular Pokemon can have is 252 in a on stat. 252/4=63. The problem with EV training is it has to be done as soon as you get a Pokemon. If you start on your Lv 75 Empoleon, you might be to late. There are many items that help with the EV training Process. Calcium, Carbos, HP Up, Iron, Protein, and Zink all raise EVs by 10, but will not exceed 100. The Power items, such as Power Lens, is a held item that delivers 4EVs in a single stat for every Pokemon yours fight and that adds with what the defending Pokemon gives naturally (Blissy with 3 +4 from power item =7). Depending on what power item you use will initially determine what stat gets what EV (there is one power item for every stats). Macho Bracelet is a held item doubles the amount of any EVs a Pokemon can get, but i personally like the power items more. Pokemon holding the EXP. Share also get the EVs you Pokemon fights. As I mentioned before, there is a trade off to EV training. If Blissey puts all 252 EVs into HP and all 252 EVs into special defense, then the rest of the stats will suffer in comparison. I, personally, like to put 126 in regular defense and 126 into special defense. There is a very rare disease Pokemon can get called Pokerus. A Pokemon with this disease gets 2x the EVs (Blissy with 3 +4 from power item =7 x 2= 14). This disease is contagious at first, and to infect other Pokemon, you must simply place it in you party and fight another Pokemon (doesn't have to be the Pokemon with Pokerus) , and in 1-3 fights, the adjacent Pokemon will also have Pokerus. This is only temporary! You can always tell if your Pokemon has Pokerus by looking at its profile. Somewhere near the picture of your Pokemon, there will be a purple box with the initials PKRS. When Pokerus is no longer contagious, there will be a smiley face near the picture of your Pokemon in its profile. This is just some basic information on EV training. I would be glad to post more upon request. Before we can understand how EV training works, we need to know how it will effect our Pokemon.

you forgot to say that pokerus doubles the EV points gained and that when you have a power lens oir something like that it doubles the normal EV points you would get and it doubles the EV points from the power lens then you add them together and you should get 10 EV points per a pokemon defeated if it was a stage 1 pokemon. it would take about 25 pokemon defeated if you have pokerus and the power item you want to focus your stats on. also on youtube kantounnivercity gives lots of information about this. |

The EV reducing berries are: -Pomeg berry (For lowering HP) -Kelpsy Berry (for lowering Attack) -Qualot (For lowering Defense) -Grepa (For lowering Sp. Defense) -Hondew (For lowering Sp. Attack) -Tamato (for lowering Speed This is useful if you have, say, a Pokemon with a lot of Special attack EVs, but you want it to have Attack evs instead. Use a bunch of Hondew berries, and voila! A clean sate. And, if you have a Pokemon you used in the main story that has a bunch of random evs, wipe the slate clean with these berries! -Pomeg berry (For lowering HP) -Kelpsy Berry (for lowering Attack) -Qualot (For lowering Defense) -Grepa (For lowering Sp.
