EV Training

[PPM]

Hello everyone,

Okay so I have finally started EV training, but I still can't grasp one concept. Let's say I am training Mareep from level 5 for defense. I know there is only 255 point limit for stats, and it takes 4 points to grow one stat at level ups. However, I see no difference even though I am battling, lets say Metapod (2 points per faint)... does it happen at the level up, or is it spread out between level ups? If I am making no sense can you give me a little overview please. Thanks.


Yes, I read serebii's explanation, but I am still confused. If there is a thread for this already, please be kind enough to point it out. Thank you.

When Ampharos gets to level 100 you will see the results, don't worry even if you get a +0 increase in that stat, it will all balance out in the end at level 100.

Also if you use the Level 100 Boost in a battle you can check those results as well.

Thanks for the help.

The EVs take some time to kick in. Normally after lv. 20.

where can i train ev's for hp?

 

[cxoa]

go on game mechanics and choose evs then hp, to work out what provides hp evs, and where to find them

Here it is summarized.

Every pokemon you battle will give out either 1, 2, or 3 EV points to a certain stat. Your pokemon can gain a total of 510 EV points, and 255 points in one stat. If you give your pokemon the maximum EVs in a stat, it's stat will be 64 points higher at level 100 than if you hadn't EV trained it. What the Macho Brace does is double EVs gained from each pokemon, as does the Pokerus. The new EV items add 4 EV points to whatever stat they apply, in addition to the ones you receive from another pokemon.

There it is.

If you give your pokemon the maximum EVs in a stat, it's stat will be 63 points higher at level 100 than if you hadn't EV trained it.
There it is.

255/4 = 63 3/4

Pokemon ALWAYS rounds down.

Pokerus also multiplies the amount of EVs given by the power items, so you would get 8 evs instead of 4 if you have Pokerus.

Also using 255 evs in one stat wastes one stat point, 252 evs still gives the same amount of stat points as using 255, and you save 3 evs, doing that on two stats saves 6 evs, enough for another stat point in a different stat.

Where is a good place to EV train for HP in D/P again?

I heard that there is a trainer somewhere with 5 Bippas. If that is so, where is s/he? I've been traing with the trainer who has 3 Toritoidon. But the Bippas would give me 50 EVs every battle over 36.

Oh, and do the Bippas evlove?...I hope not...
