Basically answers what EVs are. Of course EV training would be the manipulation of these EVs to maximize a pokemon’s stats (more in depth EV spreads as they’re called do exist. To people just learning this stuff, though, just going for 252-252-6 spreads work fine.) I’ve decided to put a Q/A for all the questtions I got =P Q: How exactly do the vitamins work? I’m still unclear. A: Alrighty. The HP Up, Protien, Iron etc. How they work. They give 10 free EVs to a stat. HP up for HP, Protien for attack and so on. The item description should list ‘em all. Once a pokemon has 100 attack EVs, for example, Protien no longer works for them, and the same for every other one of these. If those 100 EVs came from battles, that makes no difference. Q: So where do I find a list of what pokemon give EVs to what stat? A: Ok. To know what any pokemon’s EV reward is, check this: serebii.net Yep, serebii. Basically, find the pokemon you’re fighting, and scroll to the bottom of the pokedex page for it. Just above the egg groups table, there should be a table that says “Base Egg Steps to Hatch”, “Effort Points From Battling it”, and “Catch Rate” Obviously Effort points from battling it is the EVs for it =P Also, this is helpful: www.gamefaqs.com It not only goes over what I said here, but also shows you good areas to EV train quick. Q: I gave my pokemon a lot of EVs, but it hardly got any stat increases. Did I do something wrong? A: No, this is normal. EVs are only garunteed to take effect …
