If you like it then please leave a like, thanks. UPDATE: JANUARY 13, 2013. As you may or may not know, yes, I did quit. After seeing that people are still interested in this guide I am beginning to feel guilty that I have not updated it. Thank you for all the views and thanks over the months, seeing some stupid thing I typed up being received that well and just getting viewed this much blew my mind! If you're going to be in the Sevii islands use Squall's guide: Link I'd like to ask that mods consider pinning the other EV guides as well since it's a whole different game from when I played. I'd hate to just straight up delete this thread but it's probably obscenely out of date and probably should be replace by a guide that someone else has written that is up to date. You'd know better than I would about it being informative. Before you get started you may like to know what EVs actually are. EV stands for 'effort value'. 4 Evs will increase a pokemon stat by 1 point, the maximum amount of EVs in a stat is 255 but the recommended maximum is 252 so you can use the remainder points in another stat. If you want a full guide and explanation of what EVs are you should check somewhere else like bulbapedia. If you have never played pokemon competitively before and would like to learn more about sets and EV spreads then I would recommend checking out smogon. They have all you need and more on basic cookie cutter sets. (Sorry for everyone who just cringed) Also, do not make the mistake of EV training a bad natured pokemon. For example an adamant abra. If you are going to sink the time into EV training, then you need to catch a pokemon with a nature complimentary to the stats you want. For example again a timid alakazam is perfect, as you will be EV training it for SpA and Spe. Here is a link to my preferred natures chart. The - stands for a subtraction of 10% and a + represents a subtraction of 10%. As you can see if you look at the chart timid adds to speed and subtracts from attack. You can also hover your mouse over the pokemon's nature in the pokemon summary to show what it does. I don't like to rely on that, though. Sometimes it's unresponsive. This is a list of all the places to train EVs. It will tell you what pokemon will give what EVs and where to find them as well as their levels. I will ammend it as new content is released. If you see something wrong, let me know. Even I, the great and powerful Galium-sama-rama-chan-san-kun make mistakes. Also, this is not a natures or how to EV train thread. That's another show guide. You would be surprised what doesn't give the EVs you thought it would (like weedle, speed what?) The recommended pokes to train on and the best area to find them will be bolded and highlited in red. Stat Recommended Area Level of pokemon Health (HP) Fat things give HP EVs and it's no coincidence that there is a fat guy sitting next to the pond in viridian. Before surf - Caterpie. After surf - Slowpoke. The pond has only slowpoke and psyduck, so you can get some SpA while you get HP. 1 HP EV Viridian Forest Lv. 3-5 Clefairy 2 HP EVs Jigglypuff 2 HP EVs Nidoran (F) 1 HP EV Snorlax 2 HP EVs Slowpoke 1 HP EV Ditto 1 HP EV Grimer 1 HP EV 1 HP EV Viridian City (surf) Lv. 20-35 Attack (Atk) Of course slaughtering hugging super kawaii desu ne bugs with big eyes makes you stronger. Why wouldn't it? And if you're wondering "Why paras?" it's because they appear at a 100% rate in the tunnels. An alternate area is behind the safari zone warden's house in fuchsia. Fishing there will always land you a goldeen, seaking or gyarados. (Thanks Tsriel.) Watch out for the psyducks, though. If you want to keep your level low for tourneys, you need to stay at paras. 1 ATK EV Mt. Moon tunnels Lv. 5-10 Mankey 1 Atk EV Machop 1 Atk EV Machoke 2 Atk EVs Growlithe 1 Atk EV Doduo 1 Atk EV Nidoran (M) 1 Atk EV Ekans 1 Atk EV Arbok 2 Atk EVs Bellsprout 1 Atk EV Weepinbell 2 Atk EVs Gyarados 2 Atk EVs Krabby 1 Atk EV Kingler 2 Atk EVs Goldeen 1 Atk Ev Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 15-25 2 Atk Evs Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 25-30 2 Atk Evs Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 15-25 Defense (Def) ALL HAIL OUR GREAT OVERLORD, TANGELA. BY THE POWER OF TENTACLES, YOU WILL NO LONGER SUFFER THE VIRIDIAN FOREST! (for def) They appear at a 100% rate on route 21. That's RIGHT below pallet town. You need surf to get there. Metapod 2 Def EVs Kakuna 2 Def EVs Geodude 1 Def EV Onix 1 Def EV Cubone 1 Def EV Marowak 2 Def EVs Sandshrew 1 Def EV Koffing 1 Def EV Weezing 2 Def EVs Slowbro 2 Def EVs Shelder 1 Def EV 1 Def EV Route 21 Lv. 14-28 Special Attack (SpA) Special attack should only be done in one place. 2spookytower in lavender town. There is a healing spot right in the room on the 5th floor with the pokemon you will be genociding er.. ghost busting. (It's fine they're already dead). Just watch out for cubone because they give DEF and will screw up your EVs. 1 SpA Ev 2spookytower Lv. 13-19 2 SpA EVs 2spookytower Lv. 20-25 Oddish 1 SpA EV Abra 1 SpA EV Magnemite 1 SpA EV Magneton 2 SpA EVs Horsea 1 SpA EV Psyduck 1 SpA EV Special Defense (SP. Def) Good news, everyone! Venonats came way earlier than I expected and now we get to grind on those! They give 1 EV and they're pretty common to boot (30%)! But wait, there's more! Ditto also appear in the same area (and the pokemon mansion basement at a 10% rate) as venonat so you can proceed to catch those in hopes of good natures for breeding (someday). The venonats appear on routes 13, 14 and 15, I recommend going to route 15 for the tasty dittos and close proximity to the pokecenter. After you get surf you can encounter tentacools and it's much easier to grind those than it is to grind venonats. And no, you can't surf into tentacruel until post game. Drowzee 1 SpD EV Venonat 1 SpD EV Routes 13/14/15 Lv. 24-26 1 SpD EV SURF ANYWHERE Lv. 5-40 Seel 1 SpD EV Dewgong 2 SpD EV Speed (Spe) This one's easy. If you're supereffective against ground go to diglett tunnel. If you're weak to ground and will die to a dig train on route 18 and grind on the birds and rats. If you are a ground type you can go to the powerplant, just avoid the magnemite and magneton as they give SpA. You can put a level 23 pokemon in the front of your party and use one repel to only encounter dugtrio if you want. Heck, even zubat has a use sometimes. Gotta go fast.

I request Vash from Trigun :unsure:

Dude, I was walking in town the other day and then, as if out of thin air A fucking Wailord was right in front of me dude. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOWN, DUDE

You know.. it's pretty awkward and sad when I message Killjoy on Skype and he doesn't know who I am! :'(

Sorry, but i won't do pokemon themed ones. thats why its called "Anime" signatures not "Pokemon" signatures,

Do people still want me to make them a sig? + +; If you do, just repost the request.

Hello, AzizFTW =p

Hello, Eros.

Hi Soul, welcome to PokeMMO. :)

How about just leaving something like that up to the Devs? Not to mention it's a money sink right now. You're pretty much saying "okay all the older players got what they wanted, so we should remove it to prevent the newer players from catching up."

i can't breathe no stop please gonna die

Chapter 3: "spoiler? I hardly knew 'er!"

TEAM CYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN FTW

Very sorry for the hold up, guys. You all attacked me around Christmas! ^_^ I might be able to do it tonight, but I'm planning on reading a book. Your best bet for me doing your sig is on Thursday when I'm watching my sister. Happy holidays everyone, and thank you for the opportunity!

No pls. You don't speak for everyone.

I'll be glad to claim Masterball number 3 lol

I felt a little left out...So I added myself in. As for the idea, it sounds good with the permissions working correctly. I'm sure the devs have something really similar to this in the works for the far off future.

np man hope that starmie sweeps teams

My quotes are copyrighted. PokeMMO Staff? Pls, I've seen better. But I have a question for the event. Will the questions relate to the anime? Or just the games? What about the manga?

Becoming staff is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

I'd imagine that you won't be able to Google as quickly as people who actually know the answer can type.

If you do not like this logos then tell me your name, I will make a logo for u guys :)

U missed something. U MUST have gave your expresson when u cought it.
