Evaluating IV's

P

Dimensional Traveler
Hi i just got a quick question:
Is it bad timing to evaluate a pokemon's IV's when i just hatched it?say Lv 5 and I haven't trained it at all?
 
It's less accurate, but it can still sometimes work. It's best to evaluate them around level 50, if possible.

And, don't double-post for the sake of bumping.
 
Oh...forgive me,what is my other option for "bumping" if i have not received an answer in 3 days?I'd very much like to know -.-' i wouldnt' want to get banned.
Wait,if they are at lvl 50,then i have to keep track of all their ev's til then?
 
no dare care/ rare candies = no evs
 
wait,day care does not give EV's?!!!-.-' i should have thought of that since it battles zip monsters.But to make sure i'm right,Day care gives no EV's,right?
 
no ev's because every step YOU take is 1 exp point to the pokemon in the daycare
 
Thanks,i knew there would never be enough rarecandies in the world to raise each poke to lvl 50. So daycare = no EV's and if i travel Around the map,i'll get loads of EXP? nice deal

So for checking the IV's,should I get all of my desired to lvl 50? or is around 50 ok too?
I have a zapdos I want on my team but i trained it in SPD before i realized i needed to check the EV's.Is there anyway i could receive a good estimate?

yep or just go up and down bike road, or try to go from start home to pokemon leage and you have to go through every town+victory road
 
Around 50 is okay, but the closer to 100 it is, the more accurate it is, with 50 being a good point to start.

And, the best way I can think of to get an estimate of your Zapdos's EV's would be to give it to Emerald if you can, and write down how many of the berries that take away ten EV's it takes to make it so it has no effect anymore for each of its stats. If you don't have Emerald, then you could try inputting average IV's of 15 for each of its stats and see what comes up, but these numbers could be way off if your Zapdos has any really high or really low IV's.
 
dont level up to 50! just level it up to level 20....
carry 15 rare candies when you hatch the egg.......... level 50? O_o
 
I'd just like to mention that by starting at level 5 and using Candies for each level up to around level 20, it is possible to get exact IVs by inputting your Pokemon's stats at each level and narrowing it down. I do this often and I generally have the exact IVs by level 20-ish.
 
well, serebii suggests that 50 is most accurate level to calculate the IV's.Which berries reduce the EV's?
 
or... just use the item cloning cheat on emerald to get as many rare candys as you want
