EV question.

N

Noobus Maximus

Biggest. N00b. EVAR.
If I were to use items such as Protien or Zinc in replacement for regular EVs, will that make my pokemon any weaker than it would have been if it had gotten EVs from battles instead? I know that 100 is the limit for each stat using the items, I'm just curious.
 
I can see where you get your name from. This is the RMT subforum.
 
im i dont understand the question but maybe this will help. the proteins and junk give 100 ev's as you already know, but if you have an ev spread planned that calls for more than that you have to ev train for whatever is leftover after the Steriods (as my friend calls them) are administered. for example if i was to train an alakazam 252/252 in s.atk &spd i would feed it 10 calcium and 10 carbos makin the ammount i have to train go from 252 on each down to 152 on each stat. then if i give it macho brace and pokerus, divide that number by 4 and i get 38 pokemon (that deliver 1 ev point to begin with) to defeat. so for s.atk i give the afformented alakazam 10 calciums, pokerus and macho brace, and then go to old chateau and procede to kill 38 ghastlys. of course i use my action replay's encounter code to cut down on ev trainin time but that is irrelivant. does this help you understand?

Production levels hit the negatives when you posted that. You could of at least given me a clue or two of where to move this topic and advice to answer my question. Maybe my name would be more fitted to yourself.

Well after several attempts at reading it, I think I finally got it. Thank you, someone around here has some courtesy.
 
Natures are pretty much as important to stats as EVs are. EVs hit a maximum in one stat of 252, and the maximum you can have is 508 (right?) overall. The drugs give 10 EVs in the stat they are specified, and they can't be used after the Pokemon has 100EVs already invested in said stat, or if you have already gotten the overall maximum.
As you may know, all the Pokemon you fight give EV points, and the EXP.Share also gives the equal amount of EVs to the holder ( for example, Pikachu is holding said item. Raichu fights a Machoke, and gains 2 Attack points, Pikachu will get the exact amount.)
Also, some berries you find can lower the evs invested in a stat and will in turn increase hapiness in turn. These are useful due to the fact that they are the only items that do this, and it decreases the amount of EVs you have.

That's all I have.

Wow total uncalled for

Anyway basically what you need to do is get nature desired (i.e. Modest for Gastly) then follow steps on the guide the person above me posted.

Timid you mean, Modest sucks on any version of Gengar that isnt Scarfed, as being outsped by base 100's isnt cool

Well Scarf is better so that why I used it. But this is Spam so lets just leave it at that.

Edit: wow that is a really good Ev guide I wish I had that while I was learning, luckily my cousin knew how to and taught me
