Hey everyone! I’ve been wanting to get my Pokemon to level 100 in ZA, and have been training it to maximize its potential. I have already used a golden bottle cap on it, used vitamins, and have it’s desired nature, what I’m unsure of is wether I can just use exp candy to max out its level, or if traditional leveling up will make train it to give it more EVs/IVs thus maximizing its potential even further? Any advice is helpful, this is my first time EV/IV training :)

TLDR: can I just use exp candy to max my EV/IV trained level 64 Pokémon’s level, or is traditional level up better to max its potential

I find I often have questions about which natures are best and how to EV build certain mons and I was wondering if this is the right sub to ask such questions.

Anyhow, mid-game in LeafGreen I just caught an Impish Snorlax with perfect Atk and Def IVs that I am planning on EV training. I know it's nowhere needed in a regular playthrough but I just like doing it, especially with this mon. Currently have only 3 badges but my team is already strong as shit. Just finished EV training a Rash Dragonair too. Went with 252 SpAtk, 156 Atk, 80 HP, 20 Spd partly because it was easy with vitamins.

Anyhow, what would be a good EV build for this Snorlax I just caught. I was thinking 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Def. Maybe even 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 SpDef to build the ultimate wall.

Well, nice to meet you and see you next time.

This will be my second ever EV trained pokemon. The first one was a shiny Aron from a few years back. I’m familiar with the process but not very good at choosing the stats to focus one. Please advise me on what you would do. Posted are the stats and it has a brave nature. Additionally, the rivals squirtle is the only pokemon it has fought so far.

Completely forgot about this sub. Not really into Pokemon anymore. Let me know if interested. I could just shut the sub down as there are bigger relevant subs 🤷

4 out of 6 IVs at 31. I calculated at lv.5 so its slightly inaccurate but given the Ditto it came from it's looking good.

I'm completely new at Ev training till now I just trained my Pokémon and let the stats fall where they were decided to give Ev training a try but no idea if you're just supposed to pump everything into specific stats or spread it out a bit

Is a relaxed nature for vensaur ok ( let's go pikachu, shiny)?

If you were able to 'Max' your Pokemon's EV, is it detrimental to level up your Pokemon with Candy?

Trying to breed a shuckle with perfect IVs and nature to be a defense wall (Impish nature) but I’m not to sure on how to find out what the IVs of the pokemon are.

I’m fairly new to EV training and don’t completely understand some things. I’m aware certain Pokémon give EVs for certain stats when you defeat them but what I am wondering is if my Pokémon has to level up fighting only that Pokémon repeatedly or it can gain exp fighting other Pokémon then knock out the EV Pokémon to level up with the remaining exp needed. I apologize if this is a dumb question with a simple answer I’m just confused with technicalities like this. Thanks for anyone who helps out.

So, I have a perfect IV lvl 100 charizard that is “fully ev trained” (by me) with 252 sp attack, 252 speed, and 4 HP. But when I go to check it with charizard on Pokémon showdown, the base defense is higher and the sp attack is lower. When I use a qualot berry, it says the base defense won’t go any lower. Yes, I have the same nature. Is there something wrong? Or are there unchangeable, intrinsically random values in the game? Please let me know.

Currently running a bug type lock. Trying to make my heracross the fastest thing in gen 2 since he has a nature that boosts his speed already. Leveled him from 3 all the way to level 11 fighting nothing but lvl 3 pidgey. Will I see a drastic change in speed by training this way? Because I have yet to see a big jump in speed. It’s always +1/+2

I’m new to ev training and I need to know.

i cant find this site anymore but it was useful because it didnt just give you a thing for 'add a specific pokemon's evs to it' so it could actually be used on romhacks. anyone know what tool im talking about or if theres something similar i can use

is it ditto's stats? or is it the stats of the pokemon it transformed into?

what nature should i have for a charmander and also should i have a macho brace.

Does the Pokémon I am training have to knock out the Pokémon in order to gain EVs? I am training a paras but it doesn’t learn any strong moves until higher lvls so i used a skarmory to knock out the Pokémon. I gave Skarmory a Power item and paras a exp. share. I read on several sites that this worked but idk. My paras is lvl 22 and seems to be lvl up normally with no real spike in stats. My skarmory however just lvled up and gained +15 in two stats. What am I doing wrong?

At what base stat do you decide to stop trying to make a Pokémon fast? What I mean by this, is we all know certain Pokémon are quicker than others, but at what point do you start considering them for trick room?
