Welcome to the official Austin John Plays KZbin channel! On this channel you will find a variety of content like News, Tips & Tricks for Pokemon Violet & Scarlet, Legends Arceus, The Legend of Zelda, and more!

[@AustinJohnPlays]

Just an fyi. V 1.1.0 fixed the EV berry usage. Before the update it would let you use all your berries, now it’ll stop at the max needed to reduce your EVs to 0. If your EVs are 0, THEN it’ll let you use all of them. Hitting down like I showed works. (I actually did a long explanation on this during recording and learned they patched it WHILE recording, so I just left the new update info.)

[@cristianzirbau6872]

Can you please confirm that doing raids does not increase evs for the pokemons in party?

[@DJIronChef]

i noticed that too like it should stop but didnt work. it does now.

[@leksdic]

I remember watching your other video and thinking "neat, that's better than going 1:1 to not spend more than needed." and then trying it and it didn't work. I thought I had misunderstood something (esl). I also remember you saying right instead of down, but I might be wrong with that.

[@leksdic]

@@cristianzirbau6872 I think EVs are connected to exp. You don't get exp in raids, just candies. But it would be nice to have concrete evidence.

[@3G00dboys41]

Do you ever play competitive?

[@cameronicheese4462]

An important point of note - the game will allow you to use as many of the EV berries as it takes to max your friendship OR completely lower your EVs, whichever is greater. If it takes 59 qualot berries to max your friendship, it will let you use them. Don’t accidentally waste all your berries on one mon to max their friendship

[@rachel_sultana]

This!! I accidentally wasted 68 berries doing this (thankfully could just restart my game lol) but this is super important

[@theezenith]

Yup, but if you do one or a few at a time it will tell you when the stat is depleted so you don't waste them

[@mattr.9825]

That is good to know!

[@shawncook288]

I accidentally wasted so much berries and was going to ask about that. Thank you

[@hoodiemuffin7715]

Yeah, found that out the hard way smh

[@thesoapiestgoat1312]

I have needed this. Thank you so much. As a person who does not do competitive, I have never seen the need of this. Terra dens have thrown me for a loop. Thanks for all the help you give.

[@zaelitude]

As someone who does do quite a bit of competitive, this information is very good. If you want some more in depth information focusing on ranked play, I would recommend CybertronVGC, he's a world class tournament player that does in depth team building guides and showcases for ranked play.

[@TheBlackShinigami]

Knowing about EVs and IVs most definetly can help with overall Pokémon knowledge. It lets you know why some of your Pokémon (that are of the same species) have different stats but are the same level. It gets easier once you learn once lol

[@Lazyslime56]

Little tip idk if people know, but when your at the TM machine if you need a select few of items you can hit the “plus button” and it will bookmark the TM and once you leave the machine if you hit the button that you use to check the time on sandwich’s that TM you bookmarked will be there with the ingredients and it’ll notify you whenever you have collected all the ingredients.

[@falconiner4546]

I'm a gen 1 and gen 2 player returning to the series, so I've had a lot to learn about modern Pokemon game mechanics. You're the best! Also, I've found the cave near research area 3 in Area Zero (where you find Roaring Moon) has common Chansey spawns so you don't really need a sandwich, and they are level 55 for even more exp and faster leveling up.

[@aleistere]

They spawn more reliably with a sandwich. I even got a few shiny Chanseys as well because they were spawning more often. lol

[@LookGently]

Disagree to this, you need the sandwich for more consistent spawns. I hope you give the sandwich a try so you can at least get a different perspective instead of just suggesting a less efficient solution.

[@crayfishfuture]

@@LookGently There's a difference between "don't really need" and "my way is more efficient". They aren't really suggesting anyone does it their way, just that it works for them. I definitely agree that the sandwich would be ideal, but if they don't want to, it's their leisure time.

Thank you so much for this. I feel like a light bulb just clicked and all the stuff I knew is now connected and makes sense. I cannot be more appreciative of the work you do for this channel and community since I've watched the last few years.

[@ImAFatNerd90]

This is almost the same reason I never cared about stats. My major reason was I was terrible at math.

[@QuietQuin]

Ditto! 😂 I played back in the ♥️💙💛days, up to just before 🖤🤍, fell off and picked back up at ☀️🌕 skipped 🗡️🛡️ and did SV and never once put thought behind a mons stats. It was just type matching the gym and guessing what needed to be over leveled to win lol 😂 but raids kept kicking my rear end, so I guess its finally time for this old Houndstone to learn a new trick 😂

[@Eff_Emm]

This. This guy gets it. I’ve been playing since gen 1 when I was 10. I’m 36 now and I still play but it’s changed so much and I have much much less time to play that I would be missing so much if it weren’t for this channel.

Thank you for making this video. I started playing Pokémon when I was too young to even realize there were stats at all. In recent years I’ve tried to understand EVs, and got so overwhelmed that it honestly made the game less fun for me. The moment you said you were skipping all the math, I actually teared up. Thank you for making the content you do. Thank you for making videos like this not only for the hardcore competitive players, but also for those of us who love the game and just want to keep up. Thank you.

As someone who's gonna get back into competitive after not having done it SINCE GEN SIX this is gonna be a HUGE go to along with WolfeyVGC's videos for guides on competitive. Things change up in each gen too, so it's important to remember that. A LOT of things are different this gen which will shake things up.

[@howdyfriends7950]

ANNOUNCEMENT: NEVER USE MORE THAN 26 BERRIES! if you have low friendship, it'll let you use UP TO 60 berries to max out your friendship! don't do it! 26 berries only applies to stats that are maxed out! feed them 1-3 at a time and look at the EVs until you get a feeling for how many berries you'll need. the most you will ever need is 26, you can eyeball the graph and see about how many you'll need. usually it's less than you think you'll need by eyeballing the graph. usually for teams you used to beat the game, it's gonna be less than 15 because 510/6 ≈ 90, each berry reduces by 10 points. that's 9 berries on average. it used to be that using a berry on a stat that was over 100 instantly reduced it to 100, so the most you ever needed was 11 berries, but unfortunately** now each one is just an anti-vitamin; it reduces the given stat by exactly 10, always. **or fortunately, depending on whether you'd prefer using less berries, or being able to control a high level of EV's more precisely without feathers or calculating and killing a very precise number of wild pokemon. i find that i would much rather be able to reduce a stat to 0 with 11 berries much more often than I'd prefer being able to achieve exactly 232 EVs in a given stat, and even when i want the latter, i always have two feathers i could use. pokemon, please bring back the berry drop!

[@SwimmerManu]

Underrated comment. Kind of went crazy when I saw over 90 berries when pressing my down button lol

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

Why not just make a damn sandwich? Works on all your pokemon at once.

[@PauBarber]

The other yellow "hexagon" that is not the EV is the base stats, so it is better to see if a pokemon is more physical or special looking at that graph

[@WMDistraction]

I don’t understand why people recommend this way of EV training when feathers and vitamins exist. Money is easy to come by in this game

[@HoopaHideout]

@@WMDistraction Because just buying your pokemon is kind of boring to some, myself included. I'm breeding 4-5 IV versions of the pokemon I care about, because it's so fast and easy compared to previous games, and it's more fun to me than just spending in-game money to get the same result.

[@Seblak]

Yeah, this is pretty good if you want to get into raids ASAP and it's not as complicated to follow. I do a bit more complicated setup to max EVs, that is to look for outbreaks, since it makes it faster AND you can do shiny hunt in the meanwhile. Also, i have 5x power items of all stats so i don't need to max for raids only (I can just swap between them during the hunt to customize each mon EVs)

[@Kraiglyndor]

I believe that the EV total is 510 instead of 508. It used to be that you could max out 2 stats at 255 so you had to be careful not to go over 252 and loose that extra stat.

[@ohjesusohjesus]

Yes, 510 is the total maximum. 252 is the stat max, which leaves 6 EVs if you're maxing out two stats. Since the value only changes for every 4 EV, 2 out of the 6 remaining EVs are essentially wasted. Maybe that's why AJP says 508, but it's still incorrect.

[@AlexDayz]

Super helpful. While I’ve never really cared for competitive but Tera raids make things a lot more difficult without a built Pokémon. Been looking at many guides for various mons to use against the tera raid events which makes things a lot easier now. It’s also somewhat got me interested in competition but don’t expect me to compete in any big tournaments any time soon lol

[@CristiannoMartins]

Quick tip on restoring PP for your moves: different from PLA, SV do not share/store used PP status between forgotten/relearned moves. This means if you are willing to use the same move over and over and it runs out of PP, you can get out of the battle, go to your pkm moves screen, request to forget or relearn a move (it does not matter which one), forget or overwrite the move that is low on PP, then relearn the move you just overwrote/forgot, and its PP will be fully restored.

[@Alkapowned]

This video was insanely needed for the community. A lot of people don’t do these things to put their Pokémon to their fullest potential and it’s crucial in the raids. Also learning that you need to combat not only the tera type but also the type of the Pokémon. Stop bringing irons hands too 6 star gallade battles because it has a normal Tera type. Instant loss, very frustrating too the people who know what to do.

[@ameyanz]

That was a bloody brilliant video, thanks. Never understood EVs & IVs until now!

[@Max_Azafel]

Personalities also affect IVs and EVs. So as you showed, adamant is for physical attackers but towards the bottom of that where the personality says something like "Proud of it's power," it means that they will get a bit more points in its attack stat which can go a long way for when harder raids come out or, even though you already mentioned this is a casual guide, for those comp players who want to mid-max everything.

[@GekiTheFirst]

Doesnt that text refer to the 10% boost in that stat?

[@Max_Azafel]

@@GekiTheFirst The text that refers to the 10% boost is the nature itself (adamant = 10% atk and -10% sp.atk) while the personality text towards the bottom tells you the max IV stat it has ("Proud of it's power = atk is it's highest stat). If you had atk based pokemon that's adamant nature and then you got a personality like "Mischievous" then it tells you that it's highest IV is sp.atk, something you don't want to waste time investing into that pokemon unless they are hybrids (equal stats and moves learned in atk and sp.atk). If you have and adamant pokemon you want to have a personality (like mentioned above) that will allow you to get the max stat point allocated possible for that particular stat, especially if it's moves learned overall are physical based or any similar such situation.

[@branaden]

Personanilty traits don’t affect anything.

[@josiedinh3048]

“Personalities” aka characteristics, don’t directly affect EVs or IVs. It’s usually an indicator of the highest IV stat that Pokémon has. If it has more than one high IV of comparable numbers (31 attack, 31 special attack, etc.), then the characteristic is randomized between them. If all your IVs are at “Best” (31) then it doesn’t really matter, same as if you hyper train them at that point.

[@collegeguy799]

Austin, you should make a video about creating the best SUPPORT Pokémons for Tera Raids. Also maybe make a video about considering bringing mons that although strong offensively against a Tera boss, they are weak against their move sets. I just got off a 6 star raid where someone brought a charizard to face gyarados because of its grass Tera type. 😂

[@WBRamsesIII]

I've known all of this since gen 3 but was interested in how you explained it. Good video!

[@timwentoutside]

Im glad you released this video. These are the details I have never really understood. I just built my fluttermane for 7 star raids and was about 70/30 on understanding.

[@Phinocio]

RE ~5:20 ish. The max EVs a Pokemon can have is actually 510, but only 508 of them can actually affect stats. I know you said you wanted to stay away from the math aspect, but this matters for getting the effort ribbon (you need all 510 to get it). To confirm this in game: If you max out 2 stats - which any one stat maxes at 252 - then use feathers in another stat, you can use up to 6 feathers in that stat. Things like Pokemon Showdown optimize this a bit by only having 508 points to assign in the teambuilder - since only 508 can actually affect stats.

[@zach_bucha]

I was wondering why it was 6 feathers that I had to use for my last stat and not 4- this makes sense!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I get to understand how to build my lovely pokemons!

[@BeersYourFriend]

I've always wondered how to properly level a pokemon, and you did a fantastic job explaining it all. Leveling is easy, but leveling particular stats is a whole nother ball game. Thanks dude!🍻

Thanks for the great info all the time!

Coming back to this after watching about a week ago. I watched another vid that covered some of the math, and now this video makes SO much more sense to me. Very helpful to know there is a set max total value of EVs. Your vids have helped a ton!

[@MrMoustacheNinja]

This was actually super helpful! Thank you!

[@TigerRPG]

That's a great video to explain no only what to do for max your Pokémon, but explain why too. Many thanks for that video!
