Fraxure (level 39) plus Expert Belt plus Rock Tomb = Ice Gym destruction xD.


How do you go about EV training?  Can you give me the ins and outs?  I've been playing since the first game, but my startegy only extends as far as knowing types like sweepers etc. and using moves, natures and types lol.  Never bothered with this EV business, but maybe you can put it plainly...

Well, it's pretty much what I explained before. Each stat has it's own individual Effort Value; whenever you defeat a pokemon, they give some EV's, depending on the stat they're most proficient on (for example, Gastly gives 1 EV on Sp.Atk, Psyduck gives 1 EV on Sp. Def, etc). 

EV's go from 0 to 255. For every extra 4 EV points that you have on any individual stat, you'll have an extra point on that stat when you hit level 100.

This gen, EV training is a bit different than in previous gens. In revious gens, when you'd hit level 100, whatever stats and EV's that you had at that time, would be the permanent stats for that pokemon. This gen, even if you hit level 100, you can continue to gain EV's because stats will be recalculated for the amount of EV's after each battle ends. 

This happened with my Axew. When I was levelling him up, at level 33 he had 80 HP. During the middle of his exp bar, I saw his HP switch to 81 due to EV recalculations.

So this can be a tedious process somewhat, due to having to run away from pokemon proficient in the other 4 stats?  Might be worth it, based on some of the insane stat raising I've been told about. 

Yeah it is a very tedious process, but in this gen, given the continuity of earning EV's even when your levels are maxed, you can speed the process by battling multi EV pokemon or those who give 3 EV's on any individual stat (Pokerus also helps, by giving 2X the amount of EV's).

Yeah, the stats increase is insane. In Heart Gold, my Sp.Atk EV trained Alakazam was gaining 7 to 8 points per level in that stat.


My Garchomp in HG got 12 point increase in Attack when he leveled up.

Being on topic, I'm loving the game, but I'm just busy raising my characters outside of Pinwheel Forest (I don't have my second badge yet). If anyone didn't know, I raise all of my Pokemon to even levels before I go forward in the game.

It's funny.  In Red Version and Gold I usually just leveled up the main the most, and just dominated usually.  Now I like ot level more equally.  No one gets TOO high, makes things a little more interesting lol.

Well finally caught Reshiram on Black and finished the main game. 

After the credits, i'll send him over to White and be done with Black for a long, long while. White'll get all the love from now on, to make my ultimate dragon team

Thanks, I hope I don't break anyone's Scouter when I my post count gets there

I've been having lots of time to play the game lately, since I had a week break on college. After next week it's back to only having 1-2 hours a day to play

Thanks, but I'm still kinda with doubts about it, as there are too many type similiarities (other than Dragon of course). I might put a Garchomp there and drop Giratina once I get Kyurem (as Hydreigon is Dark/Dragon, makes it kinda irrelevant to have a Ghost/Dragon).

Just finished getting Rayquaza on SoulSilver and will be sending Goudron, Kyogre and Rayquaza to White. That will complete my full set of legendaries (other than the ones I still need to catch on White, Kyurem, Landlos and the future event ones, like Genesect, Mellota and so on).

But how am I supposed to get Celebi, Shaymin, etc.....   :(  .  It sucks that they tie games together and make it so annyoing to get them all.  They should make it difficult but possible to get them all in each game........  :(((((((((((((((((((((
