So i got some level 100 poke's and i was wondering if they could be EV trained, and while googling around i found this, and i was wondering if it works (Sorry if this has been posted but the search function aint working for me and i didn't see anything in the few pages i glanced through.)
How to EV train your level 100 Pokemon in the 4th Generation Games
This simple trick for EV training your level 100, Generation 4 Pokemon might have been found out already, and be posted somewhere, but if it has, it has been overlooked by me. If this trick isn't out there anywhere, I'm glad to have discovered it.
Have you ever recieved a level 100 Pokemon that has the potential to be good, but it's EV's just aren't in the right place for you? If you have, please read further, this will help you out alot.
First, to save some people some reading time, I will give ONLY the steps of how to do this correctly. Second, I will give the step-by-step details of how I discovered how to do this.
Section One (How to EV train your Level 100 Pokemon in Generation Four.)
Step 1) Use stat reducing berries (Pomeg for HP, Kelpsy for Attack, Qualot for Defense, Hondew for Special Attack, Grepa for Special Defense, Tamato for Speed), and remove ALL of your Pokemon's Effort Points.
Step 2) Give you Pokemon one Effort Point in a stat that it will NOT be needing it in.
Step 3) EV train your Pokemon, as usual, with either vitamins or through battling. Be sure to give it ALL of the Effort Points in ALL of the stats you will want them to be in, or you will have to start these steps over again.
Step 4) Remove the one extra Effort point you gave your Pokemon. Upon completion of these four steps, you will have successfully EV trained your level 100 pokemon with the stats you want it to have.
Section Two (How I discovered that this trick really works.)
I was EV training an Altaria today, and I rare candied it up to level 90 before I trained it in any way. When I was training it to have the exact EV's I wanted, I accedentally gave it an EV I didn't want it to have. By this time I had already given it 252 EV's in HP (The maximum allowed for a Pokemon in any one stat). I used a stat reducing berry to remove the EV I didn't want, and noticed that upon doing this, and without leveling it up, it's HP jumped from 290, to 315.
I completed EV training on the Altaria, but wondered if this was a version of the old "Box Trick" from the 3rd Generation games, so I had a Bold, level 100 Celebi I have always wished was EV trained differently, so I tried the steps I listed in the first section on it. AND IT WORKED!!!
I cannot confirm that this trick works in Diamond and Pearl Versions, but I can confirm it works in Platinum Version. If someone out there wishes to try this trick on Diamond or Pearl to confirm or disprove that it works with those games, it would be helpful.
Thank you for your time in reading this guide, and I hope this can help you better train your Pokemon.
