Diamond/Pearl EV Training

[FastFox]

So, today I decided to start EV training the first Pokemon that will be in my final team. It's a Croagunk, and I'm going for a toxic staller/substituter, so I decided my first priority would be getting 252 EV's in HP.

What I was wondering is, do you guys keep track of how many EV's you've earned? I tried, but I lost track. If there is any easier way to do this (providing it's somewhat necessary) please, share.

Use the Counter app on your Poketch. You can find it at the Dept Store at Veilstone City. When you press the + button, you add one to the counter. So, each time you get an HP EV, press the + button.

Oh man, I had never thought of that.

Good stuff, thanks a lot.

Just remember that when you shut your DS off or switch Apps, the counter resets back to zero.

Yeah, you have to remember that. When I first got that app, I thought, "Why isn't there a - button?" So, when I came back to that app later, I realized it resets to zero when it's changed.

If you do not want to use one just use an organized notebook.

So then I'd just have to record the last number I had before shutting off my DS and continue from there.

Simple. Yay.

I actually count my PP's.

Or just use the Counter app...

EVs, not PPs.

Yeah, I know. I count my PP's when I EV-train. After a Thunderbolt I know I got 4 EV's. After 15 Thunderbolt's I got 60 EVs.. And so on..

 

[FastFox]

But wouldn't that change depending on how many times you used thunderbolt to kill the target pokemon?

 

[Wii4Mii 99]

I think he means while using the Macho Brace and Pokerus. If he kills a weak Poke worth one EV in a stat, he automatically gets 4 EVs.

So, in this case...

1 Thunderbolt = 1 EV x Macho Brace x Pokerus = 4 EVs

Or somethin' like that...

that is exactly what i do to keep track...

Personally I use a notebook. That way if I ever want to change my EV spread I can go back and see which EVs I used nd delete accordingly.

yeah, but that takes too much time to write it down...

Actually I had been doing that too, however I had it arranged so that I'd add up all the EV's for every five levels, but I psyched myself out somehow and only began recording +2 EV's for every level. Weird as hell.
