When should I start breeding and training Pokemon for competitive purposes?
Should I start after I finish both Emerald & Kanto stories?
The main thing for me, is that as I play through the story my Pokemon's EVs get all messed up. My Nidoking is around level 65 now, with its EVs quite all over the place.
However, due to the fact that is has the nature I want, I dont want to just breed for a new one. Also the fact that I was stupid and invested so much money into its moveset without thinking about EVs. (Since Competitive at the time wasn't a thing yet. There's also a little bit of attachment I feel, tbh.)
Yet at the same time if I were to start trying to EV train it now, it would be quite expensive due to all the berries I'd have to buy.
So what would the best way to go about this be?
