okay so after catching over 20 sneasels in platnium i have get to get the desired nature I want (adamant, lonely, or naughty)

My two best so far are
jolly: +speed /-sp. attack
brave: +attack /-speed

Which of these would be best for sneasel (and weavile when I evolve it)

i think jolly would be the better of the two natures since weavile doesnt have a particular need for its special attack.

plus weavile enjoys it speed, so it doesn't want a - spe nature

That's not much help yes to what one

He's utilizing a little thing we like to call sarcasm. No one understands your questions. If you can't write good English, try a translator. It'll be more understandable. This has been mentioned to you numerous times it seems.

I'm not sure if You're actually Spamming, or not.

I'll give you benefit of doubt. If you live in a place where English is not your main language, state your country in the Location field.

This is what I THINK you said:
EV's for a impish Umbreon. I can do EV on SS, and will give it Pokerus before I start.

Actually, EVs are tend be given more on the moveset and the Pokémon's "Base Stats".

Smogon has a "standard" set up for a "Special tank" Umbreon, which is the one of the better roles for the Pokémon. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/umbreon

You can actually alter the set up to fit yourself

Remember that Umbreon can't deal out lots damage, but can take a few hits.

What does this part of the sentence mean. I don't get it.

PokéRus' EV-doubling effect is permanent. Why are you concerned that its "too late" for something?

okay so I am going to want to train a Turtwig but I cant seem to decide what to EV train him in. I dont quite understand the nature thing either. And how do I determine a pokemon's IVs?

This page is our info on IVs with a link to our IV calulator: http://serebii.net/games/ivs.shtml

This is our info on natures: http://serebii.net/games/natures.shtml

Both of the above change between individual Pokémon, but are set before you actually see it.

It would help to know what move set you're planning to use, as it depends on making the best of what you've got. I use Smogon as a decent examples, as well as our Pokémon of the Week.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/turtwig If "Baby" cup Rules.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/torterra If used for battling, in Smogon's "Under-Used" or Higher tiers.

Serebii covered had this a few years ago: http://serebii.net/potw-dp/389.shtml

okay thanks alot man. So would I be smarter to pair a Charizard or an Arcanine with Torterra?

depends entirely on the rest of your team and the type of battling you will be doing, double battles would mean charizard/torterra team is quite useful for using STAB quake without hurting your own teammate.+

O well then. I will prolly use Charizard then. But I will just decide later. Does it take a long time to EV train?
