Nope, it gives 4 Speed EVs per battle. For example, with Power Anklet equipped:

Blitzle yields 1 Speed EV (Natural) + 4 Speed EVs = 5 Speed EVs
Lillipup yields 1 Attack EV (Natural) + 4 Speed EVs = 1 Attack EV and 4 Speed EVs

These results is doubled by Pokérus:

Blitzle with Pokérus yields 2 Speed EVs (Natural) + 8 Speed EVs = 10 Speed EVs
Lillipup with Pokérus yields 2 Attack EVs (Natural) + 8 Speed EVs = 2 Attack EVs and 8 Speed EVs

If you want to get 4x the EV from fighting a target Pokémon, your Pokémon must have Pokérus and Macho Brace equipped. But usually this is less efficient compared to a Pokérus and Power [Item].

Great Response. Appreciate it.

 

[Xaby]

I forgot to answer, no, only the Pokémon equipped with the Macho Brace or Power [Item] will get their bonus (2x or +4 [stat] EVs, respectively). If another Pokémon with no EV boosting item comes in, they will only get the "Natural" EVs obtainable from the target Pokémon. This goes for Pokémon with EXP. Share as well.

 

[TehBrawlGuy~]

Also, EVs don't get split like EXP does. Anybody who gets EXP for the fight gets the full amount of EVs that Pokemon naturally gives.

No. You will be given the option to swap a Pokemon on your team for Reshiram.

 

[BCVM22]

You'll have the option of keeping it in your party or sending it to the PC.

Ugh. Landorus won't appear even though I have Tornadus and Thunderus in my party. I'm guessing that I need the Tornadus from my own game?

Have you gone up to the shrine, and pressed A? I did it last night, and it was fine. Where did you get your Tornadus and Thunderus? Have they been used for this purpose before?

 

[Xaby]

Or maybe the one you got from a different game was a hacked Pokémon. There have been some reports of that happening.

Which subway is the fastest way to earn BP?

 

[Azulart]

Which subway is the fastest way to earn BP?

I would say Single.

And have a fast sweeper in your first spot.

Unfortunately, one of them needs to be from your own game.

I had the same problem with my game, it all worked out fine as soon as I caught the Thunderus that was roaming Unova.

I have a Cover Fossil, but when I speak to Hawes in the museum he doesn't do anything; how do I get him to revive my fossil?

 

[BCVM22]

He doesn't. Speak to the gentleman at the counter to the right of the entrance.

 

[Dreamcoat]

You don't.

You need to speak to the lady on the right as soon as you enter the Museum.

I'm trying to IV breed some Pokemon, is there a better method than just breeding until one is flawless?

 

[Xaby]

@SoulSilverSwampert

Well there are ways to manipulate the IVs of the offspring based on the parents' IVs.

 

[Jigglypaul]

I'm sure this has been asked. I can't seem to find the answer.

In Black and White is there a man that tells you the iv of your pokemon like in the old games? Thanks.

 

[Xaby]

Oops, sorry, I was supposed to post this on the EV thread haha.

Catch dozens of Ditto, and keep checking them until you find ones with a perfect IV in the stat you desire, then use said Ditto in conjunction with the appropriate power item to pass the IV onto the desired Pokemon.

Talk to the elite trainer just inside of the battle subway. He's only there post Elite Four, however.
