EV Clarification? Please?

[jaspp]

I've finally decided to EV training my Pokemon!
I just breeded out the proper nature for my Bagon, and bought Power Lens.

Now, I was browsing the internet for EV explanations and read an article that says if I have Power Lens equipped, I will get 4 SpA. EV each kill.

Confirm / Deny.

And if that's all true, could I just go to the Pokemon League, send Bagon out, return him for a level 100 and 1 shot then Rinse and Repeat?

Confirm / Deny.


Thanks.

I just killed 8 Pokemon, and only recieved + 3 SpA from leveling.

I thought it was 4 EV's to get a +1, so I should have gotten +8 additional SpA EV's?

Am I doing it wrong?

Will the EV's kick in on future levels?

You should have asked in the Help Thread.

Anyway, the Power Lens adds 4 SpA, yes. If you defeat a Pokemon that gives 1 SpA, the formula will be [1 + 4], which equals 5 EVs per kill. 4 EVs gives 1 real point.

I don't know what you mean by going to the Pokemon League. Defeating the Elite Four? That would give your Bagon mixed and unwanted EVs, so you should avoid doing that. Kill specific Pokemon to get specific EVs.

In the Old Chateau (D/P/P) all the pokemon give SPecial Attack EV's, so that is a much better idea than the league.

Yea, I don't know what I was thinking.

I have been killing Ghastlys all night long but some levels I only get +1 SpA, will the extra SpA kick in when it evolves?

Just flat out ignore what you gain at the end of a level, it will mess you up like it did me when i first started EV training. Just trust yourself and keep track of how many EV's you have put into a stat, that's all that matters.

It isn't an immediate pay off, but once you get to Lv. 100 through it all you'll notice the payoff.

The stats will adjust when the level is right. The game makes sure that your low leveled yet bagon won't have insane Sp. Atk. It will catch up when your level is already high.
