EV Training Rayquaza

[Twilit Dragoon]

I have recently caught a Rayquaza in Emerald and was wondering how to EV train it, for my own benefit:

Rayquaza(still has moves that I caught it as)
Brave Nature
HP:229
ATK:247
DEF:135
SP ATK:225
SP DEF: 140
SPEED:129

It is not going to be used in battle frontier because it can't.

I don't have a moveset/EV spread for you, but I do have some advice: If you saved before you caught it, reload it because Brave is a rubbish nature and its IVs are well below average.

I can't restart it because I saved after catching the Rayquaza. I forgot to check what nature it had.

I'm sorry but that Rayquaza can't work out.
Maybe make it a mixed sweeper but it just can't help.
I save before my battle with him, leave a space in my team(others are strong), and a ton of balls. Checking the right nature is important BTW.

hasty nature.

 

[Nightcat]

or adament, or calm depending if you wanna make it a physical or special sweeper, because it has awesome stats in both of those.

 

[ZNtelle]

Hasty only if you want it mixed, Adamant or Modest otherwise, depending on the set.

 

[Comis Patronus]

It also depends on the stats it has. If it's in Emerald, the breeder guy can help tell you if it's good or not.

 

[ZNtelle]

...the Emerald guy really doesn't help you in reality. Calculating IVs for yourself is better than relying on him to tell you about one stat.

Best post of the year. Seriously.

Break out the champaigne. DavidUm has returned D=

Speaking of whom, I'd like to ask DavidUm a question. What is it with this fetish you have for the Hasty Nature? Seriously, I'm bloody curious ._.

It's not just a fetish for Hasty. It's also a fetish for Modest Suicune, Kingdra, and Kyogre.

 

[smashbrosfan!]

maybe he likes faster pokemon. Rayquaza can have upto 316 speed, which is not bad.

 

[ZNtelle]

Yeah, but what else does that help it outspeed that it wouldn't without Hasty? Maybe the ubers, but how often do you see those InGame?

DAVIDUM RETURNS!!!

-Dragon Dance
-Aerial Ace
-Rock Slide
-EQ
(with Adamant Nature and 252 Attack and Speed)

I don't really care about natures all that much, I just wanted to know the EV spread I should use with my Brave natured Rayquaza. I don't care which natures are better, I like it the way it is. Its hard trying to catch him without a masterball(in my opinion)

 

[magnemiteZ]

252 Speed, 252 Attack.

 

[Twilit Dragoon]

252 Speed, 252 Attack.

Thank you for the info.

I also have another Rayquaza and I would like to see if it is good:

Rayquaza(before I learned about EV Training)
Nature:Serious
Item:Leftovers
Ability:Air Lock
Moves: (want to change)
Dragon Claw
Extremespeed
Crunch
Surf
HP:375
ATK:337
DEF:200
SP. ATK:342
SP. DEF:194
SPEED:244

 

[smashbrosfan!]

depends on what your raquaza's role is.

Physical sweeper:adamant
dragon dance
extremespeed
earthquake
HP flying or bug.
6HP / 252 att / 252speed

Special sweeper:modest or timid
ice beam
dragon claw
thunderbolt
flamethrower
6HP / 252 sp.att / 252 speed

mixed sweeper:naive or hasty.
dragon claw
earthquake
ice beam/thunderbolt
aerial ace/HP flying
6HP/ 126 att/ 126 sp.att/ 252 speed

I think your rayquaza has good HP genes

 

[ZNtelle]

Use the Serious (Neutral) Rayquaza and not the Brave (+Atk, -Spd) one. That Spd does matter.
