I was just curious.
How do you get a Pokemon to lvl 100 after EV training?
Do you manually level up through the E4 and Battle Chateau, or use tons of Rare Candies?

I am back! Probably.

Whichever way you like, I use both.

@Hydrohs: Thank you for helping to clear that up.

what is the best nature for froakie?

Depends on what you plan to use it for, it's Special Attack is better than it's Attack so any SpA boosting or Attack reducing nature should be fine in game.

If competitively, the standard is Timid.
Timid over Modest because it can rarely take even a neutral hit and survive due to it's weak defenses.

Restaurant Le Wow is the quickest for levelling, use an Exp. Power Lv3 and it'll last through all 5 battles combined with a Lucky Egg and the amount of exp. is very impressive.
Also an easy way of earning money too.

Bashful is a neutral nature, I guess it's fine for in game use but pretty useless for anything more serious than that.

What is relatively the quickest and easiest way to obtain Rare Candies in this game?

I get the strong feeling that I'm overleveled right now in X. Most of my party is at the mid 30s and I only just cleared the 2nd Gym. I'm not really training either, just catching Pokemon for the Pokedex. Using Pokemon Amie and the Exp from catching is really cheap training. O_O

I want to train a second team that's at a reasonably even level to Korrina, any ideas?

My main team (that's overleveled at Lv 35-36) is:
Chesnaught
Blaziken
Blastoise
Doublade
Pikachu (Nuzzle is pretty cool)
Talonflame

Second team:
Snorlax Lv 32
Mawile Lv 27
Linoone Lv 26 (HMs)

Still need three more. I have Axew and Bagon at the Day Care that I was originally planning to withdraw when I finished the League for the first time. I think they're Lv 24-25 right now. Maybe them? (By the way, global trades are awesome, some really nice person gave me a Jolly Gible with Outrage! And I found my second ever shiny, a Whismur!)

I guess get lots of PokeMiles and spend them on the Global Link? Otherwise, you have to go the the Battle Maison to grind BP. Or you could just train a Pokemon with Pickup to Lv 100 and hope that Rare Candies come rolling in.

hey guys, I just restarted my pokemon x and I need help.

See, after I got my starter (froakie) I used it and unlocked all the super training available and then reset it's stats with a reset bag. Later, I maxed out its EV's 252 sp atk 252 spd and 4hp. It's still at level 5 and I haven't used it for battle yet but has max EV's. Is this bad? Will it be weak?

Absolutely not. When you max out its EVs means nothing; he'll end up the same whether you EV train him at level 1 or level 100.

If I happen to Super Train a Pokemon wearing a Macho Brace, will the EVs received be doubled as well? For example, my Noivern got 12 EVs from a Sp Attack Bag L. Will she receive 24 EVs instead?

As far as I can recall Super training is not affected by Power items,pokerus or macho brace.
