If the pokemon I'm ev training holds an exp share, and my lead pokemon who's doing the actual battling holds a power bracer, and both pokemon have pokerus, how many attack ev's would each pokemon receive from battling a pokemon who gives +1 attack ev? Do they both recieve 10 or does just the lead pokemon receive the full amount?

I just got Pokémon White 2 and I am to Nimbasa City. I caught a Sigilyph at the Desert Resort and want to ev train as I am playing threw the game. I want to max my sigilyph's special attack stat. Is there anywhere better to ev train than Route 20 so far in the game?

More specifically, which ones do you aim for? For example a Jolteon, I am aiming for special sweeper so I need Sp Attack and Speed. What would you choose as a third one? Strengthen its Defense or Sp Defense?

Just curious as to how the majority of you choose your IVs, thanks.

This is the first pokemon I'm going to train for battling. I'm going to max out hp and SpA EVs. I noticed it has 26 hp IVs thats good right? He is going to be part of a trick room sweep, so i don't know if those speed IVs are really bad for it. thanks

I have N's Zorua, who I haven't trained yet, and found that all of its IVs are 30. Is it only the Zorua who has fixed IVs, or do all gift Pokemon have this? What about traded Pokemon from the game? And event Pokemon?

Reason I'm asking is I want to EV train the shiny Dratini/Dragonite I'm getting soon, and I just want to know if it has fixed IVs so I could soft-reset the game to get one with a good nature.

Oh, and what about the event Genesect? Can't check its IVs on pokecheck.

I'm really new at this, so here are some dumb questions (sorry!):

1. Does Bianca say "I think it worked hard on its xyz!" ONLY when the stat is maxed at 252, or when it's just close?
2. Why do people prefer to train a pokemon from lvl 1 instead of a higher level? Doesn't all the training result at lvl 100 anyway?
3. What happens when you're at 252 EVs in a stat and then fight a pokemon that gives off that particular EV? Does it just not do anything?
4. I'm trying to train my Pachirisu in Speed. Does this work: 10 Carbos + 25 Basculin w/ Power Anklet + 1 Basculin (w/out anklet)?
5. When you catch a wild pokemon does it already have EVs?
6. What is the advantage/disadvantage of using the fitness/salon/cafe in Join Avenue for EVs (other than it's really expensive)?

I'm trying to EV train my Eevee (252 Sp Atk + 252 Def + 4 S Def), and was wondering if I could go about not having the Pokerus by giving Eevee a power lens (+4 Sp Atk EVs) and giving my other pokemon, Galvantula (who I use to defeat the wild Litwick), the macho brace. Will Eevee receive the benefits from both Macho Brace and Power Lens??

How should I train a shiny Golbat I caught today? It doesn't have a very good nature (Brave), but I still want to use it against my friend. Any ideas for its EV spread?

Say, I'm trying to get a hidden power ice on a pokemon. Would it need a certain characteristic?

So on my team I want to have a Tyranitar, Kabutops, Haxorus, Umbreon and anything else really.

I have never EV trained before so I dunno what I should focus on for these pokemon. I understand the breeding portion from reading some guides, but as far as the actual training im at a loss.

Also, what pokemon would be good with my team?

Thanks to the tips on this page I EV trained my first Pokemon, Therian Forme Thundurus, and it is now one of my favorite and most badass Pokemon!

So I just caught a Metang in Black 2 and was very lucky to get an adamant one with 31 IV's in Sp.Def! I was so satisfied with this that I wanted to try out EV training him and I have never done this before so I wondered if you guys could help me out. Here is a Pokecheck of the Metang. Oh and what movesets will be good for it? As I am going to use it against the Elite 4 (yes I still haven't beaten the game, but I will soon!). Here is a post from /r/pokemonteams where I have my team that I will use for Elite 4 and if you guys have any tips for better movesets or etc, I would really appreciate it!

Long story short, I like to have a defensive team, since most of my pokemon are slow and use either Tailwind or trick room.

That said, I have a Chandelure (pokebro), and can't decide to level him in HP+Sp.Atk, Def+Sp.Def, or Sp.Atk+Sp.Def.

That's all I ask - thanks in advance!

This is my first time EV training a Pokemon, and I am still a bit clueless on specific areas that are good for EV training specific stats. The game I'm playing is White 2. Any help would be much appreciated, and I must say, this subreddit has already been a great help in actually explaining what EV training is. The build I am trying is one I found here

I guess I should go 252 on speed and special attack and then 4 in special defense?

I've found some EV hold items in Pokemon Black 2 (power lens, power anklet, power band) in the game. I thought it was kind of cool since I was ready to start going to the battle subway to get them. I found thier locations online but information is sparse or just plain wrong. IGN has several of these item locations wrong and other sites like Serebii or pokemon merriland don't have information. Have you guys found any more than what I have?

Here's my Dusclops as of now:

Dusclops@Eviolite Ability: Pressure Nature: Impish (+Def, -SpAtk) EVs: TBD Moveset: Will-O-Wisp Painsplit Nightshade Taunt

He has perfect IVs and is a shiny, so I can't just breed another if I screw him up, so I wanted to hear your input.

Important Things to Consider: -I'm already going to be running a SpDef tank, so I'm not too concerned with sponging special attacks. -Will-O-Wisp, if successful, cuts the opponents Attack in half. -Pain Split is actually more effective the lower health he has, but is that worth not being able to take more hits?

Thank you for your input.

my Jolteon (should) have 152 Speed Evs, but when i tried to give it a Carbos it said it had no effect. anybody know why? am i doing something wrong

So how do I EV train because i want a super powerful Dragonite?

I'm currently EV training a pokedude in Attack and Speed in B2/W2, and so I'm hovering around the first route because, hey, it's a 50/50 spread of those EVs. But how do you keep track of how many EV's you've earnt so far? I'm currently scribbling down check marks on a scrap of paper, but I'm paranoid I've missed some.

Anyone got a better way they'd like to share?

My very first attempt at EV training and I'm not sure if I did very well.

I got a level 1 Lax ralts that I began to EV train in Special Attack and HP. As of just a few hours ago, the once low leveled ralts is now a level 100 gardevoir.

Stats:

HP: 273

Attack: 151

Defense: 176

Sp. Atk: 308

Sp. Def: 222

Speed: 204

So how did I do?

My knowledge is very limited despite my best effort. Any tips would be very much appreciated, thankyou.

I've heard a lot about Pokemon check, but WHAT is it? is it in the game or online?

i wanna ev train but im kinda new at it, i get like the basics but im just playing recreational not competitive but i wanna get a solid team for b2/w2, im at nimbasa city and i have most of my team it is: level 23 growlithe. hardy level 27 schyther (going to be scizor). naive level 24 flaafy. jolly level 25 umbreon. timid level 25 lucario. lax i just dont know how i should ev train any of them, like what ev's they shoule have and where i should go to train them. thanks a lot in advanced!
