Thanks for the Ho oh.

Your welcome! Thanks for the Mewtwo!

 

[Steel_Dragon]

i need acaterpie or a metapod please pm me ill trade eevee eggs and maybe even a burmy

 

[GGMoneY]

Can Aqua Ring be Baton Passed?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Yes.

Also, Pal Parked Pokemon will keep all their EVs(Why didn't I notice that earlier? )

 

[LordoftheMorning]

If I've Ev trained something and it knows all the moves I want it to know, can I put it in the day care without a reduction to the stats?

Pokemon don't learn moves in daycare, but can they be remembered using the man in Pastoria city with a heartscale?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Yes... but why would you want to? It's much faster to level up by battling than it is by putting a Pokemon in the day care.

And yes and no. A Pokemon can be taught moves it forgot in the day care by the move tutor in pastoria city but only if that Pokemon can learn that move through leveling up. TMs and certain egg moves(i.e. Weavile and Ice Punch) can't be tutored.

Need clarifying?

 

[LordoftheMorning]

Because I can go to fuego Iron works and walk all night while I sleep by putting something on the D-pad. Is it a good idea after I've EVtrained all I need? You're absolutely sure it won't give me lower stats than it would if I battled to gain exp?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Yes, there won't be any stat change from the norm. That only applies with rare candies. I still want to see if I can defend my point that battling > day care, so time for some calculations(yay!):

if 2 exp is gained a second, than:

120 exp. a minute and

7200 an hour.

Average amount of sleep is 7 hours so:

exp. gained in average night of sleep is

Spoiler

...56 X 9... 494

49400 exp points.

Trainer in sandstorm area has Ambipom, Blissey, and Rapidash.

Blissey lv. 59 gives 3223 > 3200
Ambipom lv. 59 gives 2351 > 2400
Rapidash lv. 59 gives 2427 >2400

One battle gives about 8000 exp.

plus lucky egg gives 12000 exp.

If about 4 mins for no animation battle and 1 min for vs. seeker to operate, than one battle every 5 mins.

12 battles an hour.

96000 exp. an hour for Ace trainer female in Sandstorm route.

plus lucky egg gives 144000 exp an hour.



So yeah, I'm a math nerd. It's just the way I think.

EDIT: In everyday terms, you can do 7 hours of work in 30 mins or 23 mins with a lucky egg. Your decision. It's not like TWEWY where aliens give 100 MPP every 3 hours of leaving it in mingle mode which you'll need with that ridiculous (yet awesome) 3 kinds of experince for different evolutions thing.

Hopefully my last EDIT: Also, think about your battery life. Leaving it like that will have some consequences on your battery life later on.

 

[LordoftheMorning]

Except I can do daycare in mah sleep.

 

[knightzy]

looking for any legit ho-oh,dont try and scam me i am a collector,pm me with what you would like in return.

 

[SuperMetroid44]

Also, please read this. It has an explanation of EVs and competitive Pokemons and stuffs . I enjoy pushing this on people who seem not to know about it.

Nah, I want to have a strong Staryu, but of course i'll get another Staryu to evolve and make stronger

 

[SuperMetroid44]

I know this is a Double post, But...

Anyway, Does anyone have a Mew? Mewtwo? Jirachi? Celebi?

I need one of them, Espically Mew...

Nvm This, A friend of mine gave me them

 

[Platypus]

My advice is not to use Thunderbolt. Replace it with the insane Grass Knot, which is unexpected against Chinchou.

 

[0RLY]

Staryu and Starmie cannot learn Grass Knot, or any Grass-type attacks for that matter.

 

[ROOOOY!]

Uhm, yeah, I'm new to this thang.

Right, I'm gonna EV train an Aerodactyl in Attack (mostly) and Speed to make it a sweeper. That's a good decision, right? What kind of nature would be advised? Adamant?

If I give it the Power Bracer, if I kill a Shinx, does it give me 2 EV's instead of one?

Sorry for nub questions D;

 

[zrky]

yes you will get 2 EVs against a shinx with the power brace. Or against a bibarel you will get 4 attack EVs.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Spoiler

Yay! More people interested in EVs and such!

Adamant ( + atk - sp. atk ) and Jolly ( + speed - sp. atk ) are good natures for a Pokemon like Aerodactyl who have no use of special attacks. So yes, you were right on the money.

If you were to make Aerodactyl hold the Power Bracer, it would gain 4 more EVs in attack than it normally would. So, if you were to KO a shinx, you would gain 5 EVs in attack. The item that makes you gain 2 EVs in attack when you KO a shinx is a Macho brace. IMO, you should stick with the Power Items for swifter EV training.

*This is me adding additional information in case there are more questions needed to be asked/add relevant and helpful information.*

Keep in mind that a Pokemon can only have 255 EVs in a single stat and only 510 EVs total. Since the stat gains of EVs are based on multiples of 4, having 255 EVs in a stat would cause 3 wasted EVs. 255/4 = 63 remainder 3. This is why 252 is a common number for EVs. By having 252 or 255 EVs will still give the same result of adding 63 more stat points than if there were 0 EVs. Those are the magic numbers of EVs.

Also, try to get Pokerus, it doubles the amount of EVs gained. So, if you were to use it with a Power Bracer and the likes, you would get 10 EVs instead of 5 EVs.

And at least you asked for help. People around here recently don't have a clue :/.

 

[ROOOOY!]

Thanks for the help! Well at least I'm learning, someday I'll actually know what I'm talking about like you do and be able to help out too xD

I've more or less got EV training figured out now. Now to decide what pokemon I'm having in my team.
Got a Gengar planned for special sweeper, Aerodactyl for physical sweeper, but nothing else in mind yet D;

 

[jigglyppuff8]

For just starting out I suggest the dynamic wall duo Skarmory and Blissey. Their sets are:
Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold( + Def - atk)
Natural Cure
252 HP/252 def/6 sp. def
~Softboiled
~Thunder Wave
~Aromatherapy
~Seismic Toss
Just a generic blissey set if you have access to FireRed and/or Emerald. I like it so I use it.

Skarmory @ Leftovers/Shed Shell
Impish( + Def - sp. atk )
Sturdy/Keen Eye
252 HP/252 def/6 atk
~Roost
~Drill Peck
~Spikes/Stealth Rock
~Whirlwind/Roar(Use whirlwind if possible)


These 2 work very well together if you can predict switching. You can pretty much use both these sets without trying.

What do italicized usernames in shoddy mean?

 

[Zook]

What do italicized usernames in shoddy mean?

It means that person is in a battle.

 

[Niiro]

What is rating is the more important rating in shoddy, the rating or the conservitive rating estimate?

 

[karthik_king]

Conservative rating They use rating for deviation like for the Skymin ban. 65 is the deviation and 1650 conservative rating

 

[ROOOOY!]

Thanks for the sets on those two jiggz.

I was considering having a Skarmory, even though I wanted to keep my whole team 1st gen to be cool D;

I have a Blissey atm. It's probably not EV trained though because I got it over the random wi-fi thing at level 70, so yeah.

I was considering a Weezing. I've got a few ideas for that. Sludge Bomb, Haze, Pain Split, something else (maybe Toxic, iono.)

But anyway, thanks

 

[jigglyppuff8]

I was considering a Weezing. I've got a few ideas for that. Sludge Bomb, Haze, Pain Split, something else (maybe Toxic, iono.)

I would replace Sludge bomb with thunderbolt and use flamethrower as your other move. Maybe Will O Wisp over haze, either one works fine. Other than that, pretty good. A good EV spread would be: 252HP/252Def/6Sp. atk. A good nature would be Bold. And it should hold leftovers.

 

[Niiro]

Conservative rating They use rating for deviation like for the Skymin ban. 65 is the deviation and 1650 conservative rating

how is the rating and deviation calculated?

 

[LordoftheMorning]

A lot of strategies have HP Ice, Ground, Grass, or Fighting in the movesets for better type coverage. Every time I see HP ______ I kinda die inside. I tell myself "Well there's one pokemon I can't use." How the **** am I supposed to get a pokemon with the right nature, ability, decent IV's, and somehow test each one of those for the right HP!?!? It sounds like it would take a week and I can't believe anyone uses HP in their movesets because of how unlikely it is that you get the right one.

What's the easiest way to test what type the HP is? Is there any way to change it? How is getting the right HP and everything else even feasible?

The answer in Action Replay. Srsly. But if don't hack, another way to breed a HP(68-70)_____ Pokemon would be to sit your *** down for a couple of weeks doing nothing but breeding (fun, isnt it?)

 

[Platypus]

You could just grow some Berries and stick with Natural Gift instead. It can be chain-bred to almost anything, to my knowledge.

*Passho'd*

 

[jigglyppuff8]

One time use isn't appealing though. Plus, it's physical.

 

[WouW]

And you can't have a hold item.

 

[Platypus]

And you can't put it on genderless monsters. Seriously, what other option is there for the physical, move-deprived monster?

Additionally, can Starmie learn Grass Knot?
