Question

How long is the average time to EV train one Pokemon?

EditorKrijim

Community Answer

It depends on what you battle to get EVs, what items you use, and whether or not you have Pokerus on your game. Just by battling in S.O.S battles in Sun and Moon without items, it can take a few hours; with items and Pokerus, that amount of time will be cut to less than half an hour.

Question

I don't really understand the whole max EV points being 510, because I have plenty of Pokemon with at least 600 points if you add up all their stats. Am I not supposed to count HP?

Community Answer

EVs do not equate to stats. In a level 100 pokemon, 4 EVs will increase a stat by 1 point, but even still, Pokemon have different base stats. It is also important to consider the difference between IVs and EVs - IVs cannot be affected, EVs can be trained up and reset, and base stats are a base for a Pokemon's stats. Leveling up also affects stats. It's very complicated how all of it works, but for your final question, yes, you count HP. It is a stat.

Question

Is there an item that increases speed? All the power items are set to increase every stat except speed.

NerfLoverNumber14

Community Answer

You must be confused how the power items work. They halve the speed of a Pokémon in battle. But after the battle, the Pokémon holding the item gains 4 EVs in the corresponding stat. And there is the Power Anklet, which halves speed in battle but gives 4 EVs in speed after the battle.

Question

What's the best level to give Pokemon vitamins?

Acebob11

Community Answer

There is no best level. EVs will affect your pokemon's stats, and they affect them more at higher levels. Vitamins will cause a jump in your Pokemon's stats at level 100, but if you give it at level one, when it levels up, it will gain slightly more, so there is no best level.

Question

Can I do this with a MissingNo?

MissingNo has glitches stats, so EV training it probably wouldn't work.

Question

Does hyper training work the best for EV training?

EditorKrijim

Community Answer

Hyper training isn't a method of EV training, but a method of giving superficial boosts to stats to make it seem like the Pokémon had top IVs.

Question

Are wings in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?

Bun bun

Top Answerer

No. The means of air transport in ORAS is either by Latios/Latias or on a Pokémon that learns Fly.

Question

What are the best EVs for my Pokémon? How am I supposed to know?

NerfLoverNumber14

Community Answer

It really depends on the Pokémon and what role it is. For example, sweepers should have attack/special attack and speed EVs maxed, while more defensive Pokémon should have defense/special defense EVs maxed. It is best to max an EV of the Pokémon's best stats.

Question

If the max EV is 510, does that mean that if I total the stats of two hypothetical lvl 100 Metagross, they'll be the same?

Blubb lé Blubb

Community Answer

If they also have the same nature and IV, then yes. If not, then no. It is extremely rare that two Pokemon have the same IVs. (IVs are another big part of training competitive Pokemon, so read up on that.)
