[@kamarrroxs4176]

So are the power weight items 8+# of what the pokemon offers or just a flat 8?

[@deathblowringo4168]

The best place for EV training is Area Zero: 3 HP EVs (11 EVs with Power Weight) For Scarlet players: Scream Tail For both games: Dondozo (in Casseroya Lake) 3 Attack EVs (11 EVs with Power Bracer) For Scarlet players: Brute Bonnet, Slither Wing and Great Tusk For Violet players: Iron Hands and Iron Thorns 3 Defense EVs (11 EVs with Power Belt) For Both games: Garganacl and Corviknight Exclusive for Violet players: Iron Treads 3 Special Attack EVs (11 EVs with Power Lens) For Scarlet players: Sandy Shocks For Violet players: Iron Moth and Iron Jugulis For both games: Volcarona and Glimmora (it gives 2 SpA EVs instead) 2 Special Defense EVs (10 EVs with Power Band): Floette 3 Speed EVs (11 EVs with Power Anklet) In both Games: Raichu, Jumpluff and Talonflame Exclusive for Violet players: Iron Bundle

What do you do with a Pokémon stats like every stat is over 200 and one of them is 400 and somehow still not marked out

[@1001History]

Best way to fully train a stat to max. is use 25 vitamins and then give two feathers = 252 EV's. 26 vitamins is a bit of a waste 👍 This used to be even worse when the max EV's for a stat was 255. You ended up wasting one stat investment if you went beyond 252. As for the berries... All I can say is hopefully they introduce an NPC who completely resets stats, like they did in the Sw/Sh DLC.

[@06twar]

That and something to help change Tera types far easier than it is now it's just too expensive and time consuming to get a good Tera type for everything I don't want to do a trillion raids lol

[@1001History]

@@06twar Yeah they need to make the shards purchasable, give more per raid, or reduce how many are required. It's too grindy. Especially since you can't really control the tera type you end up battling in the search system... That being said, they need to implement a better search system so you can filter by star rating and tera type. This would also reduce the grind.

[@conorb.1901]

This is good to save a few bucks by not having to buy one extra vitamin (I miss the Isle of Armor's bulk discount), but if you're making more specific spreads than 252/252/4 for competitive or something, manually ev training is the way to go.

[@WiseOakDakota]

@@06twar returning to Area Zero is a great way to find a lot of Tera Shards as “pokeball object finds”. Granted you can’t hunt for a specific type of shard but with the high level Pokémon you can also do some leveling

[@Aimzbun]

i did 25 on speed (carbos) and 25 on attack (protein) for chien-pao and then 1 on hp (hp up) so 53 isn’t possible he must’ve made a mistake in the vid True?

From a complete EV/IV training beginner, THANK YOU!!! This video helped me so much to understand how these stats work.

[@shadowviper270]

I've been with the Pokemon series since the beginning, but this is the first time I've ever done EV training. You made it super easy to understand so I can get right into high level Tera raids with my friends. Thank you very much and I hope you keep up the good work. You're helping a lot of people with this guide.

[@rondoobie69]

This is prolly the first time I’ve ever focused on anything meta related in Pokémon and I’ve been playing for a long time casually. This was super helpful

[@SaVeUsJ]

So for the Stat reducing berries, i did some research of my own (testing it out on my Pokemon) and found out that 11 berries is not enough to completely lower a specific stat to 0. That was only applicable in Gen 4. Gen 5 and onwards, you are required to have 26 of the berries needed to lower the stat to 0. Just like the vitamins since they give out +10 EV's, the berries reduce them by -10.

[@jeongyeonislife]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

[@newuserO1191O]

PRO TIP: If you're looking at the EV graph and it's in gold/yellow, it means you have not maximized all 510 EVs for that pokemon. The EV graph will turn into light blue when it as gained all 510 EVs. If you are not seeing a sparkle in a specific stat you want to max to 252 and it is already in the blue shade, this means that you have EVs appointed to other stats. Just check the graph which one has it, it will be protruding towards those stats. When feeding a berry to reduce the EV stat, you can check the maximum amount you can feed it by pressing down on the D-pad, it will show you the exact amount you only need to reduce the excess ev. If it's showing the maximum amount of berry, then you don't have excess in that specific ev in that specific stat.

[@tahdahloo4884]

THANK YOU! I was wondering what the different colors/sparkles mean!

[@DaGGzu]

My EVs are maxed on my garchomp just how I want them but my chart isn’t blue, I have sparkles in attack and speed and I have one more point on HP, so it should be 510 right ? 😊

[@redox4604]

@@DaGGzu You need 4 EV points in HP and then 2 extra EV points going anywhere (Just having 252 atk, 252 speed and 4 hp will result in 508, so you need to put the last two somehwere - doesn't matter where since that's not enough to give an extra stat)

[@zaki8245]

okay but on the bright side we have lechonk

[@alexandergromann302]

Sadly, ur wrong about the ev remove berrys. They removed the 100 ev barrier for the vitamins but they also removed the back to 100 mechanic with the first berry. That means you now need 26 berrys to remove all Evs from a maxed out stat.

[@pyrateraccoon8553]

@@Captain_0934 Its true, I just tested it and it took 26 berries for 1 stat. The 11 berry thing is incorrect.

[@MilesClancy]

do u get ur evs back when u do this

[@JakeOakley1991]

​@@MilesClancy Not sure what you mean by "back". The Berries REMOVE your EV's. Pokemon can have a maximum of 510 EV's at any point, with a maximum of 252 EV's in the same stat. If you take a Pokemon with 510 EV's, and reduce the amount in one stat, (ie remove 100 Atk EV's) you can put them in another stat or multiple stats, as long as those stats have less than 252 EV's in them. Does that make sense?

[@JakeOakley1991]

Singles Battles usually have a pretty consistent EV Spread of 252 Atk or Sp Atk and 252 Speed. VGC however usually has EV's spread across 3-5 Stats.

[@MilesClancy]

[@revive5127]

Such an amazing guide. I’ve been playing Pokémon since Gen 4 but never learned ab Evs. This guide was super easy to understand compared to other KZbinrs. Thank you so much bro.

[@shinylucario777]

Excellent video! Just wanted to also share some things that might help other players: - There was video made by Dan Berr which showcased an area full of Golduck near North Province (Area Two) / Fury Falls which he used to farm Experience. Golduck gives +2 SpA EVs each, and sometimes the area spawns Dratini (+1 Atk), Vaporeon (+2 HP), and Dreepy/Drakloak (+1/+2 Speed). I found it to be quite useful for farming SpA EVs! - Using Pokemon Showdown is a great way to gauge your EVs, in case you lose track of how many points you've already earned! Just adjust the level to the Pokemon's current level, then adjust the sliders so that the stats match up with what you see in the Summary Screen.

[@mikelee-pw2cy]

Thank you so much I was thinking I was a bad pokemon trainer but now I feel like I can reach my potential

[@helpfulDeathgod]

A good late game area for training Attack stat is the Bamboo forest. Almost every pokemon in that area will give you 1-3 Attack EVs, with the exceptions of Golduck, Dratini (or it's evolutions), and Oranguru (in scarlet, Passimian gives Attack). If you eat a Encounter: Electric meal power sandwich, Luxray will spawn more frequently, which is +3. Great for EV training many pokemon at once in Attack, especially if you bring a pokemon that can just sweep through (like having a 100 pokemon before all the rest, it's a fair chunk of EXP too).

[@duskyer]

Near the Team Star Fairy base, eat a ham sandwich to increase normal spawn rate. Chansey will spawn frequently. I use this to train HP and whatever other stat I need. HP is vital for Raids so I tend to do it on many Pokemon.

[@michaelcampbell1170]

Ah Chansey, the amount of war crimes we put them through to level our mons. Truely, their existence is suffering. But it's for a good cause.

Hella Underrated Video

[@yasinachekzai2567]

Damn, for some reason I thought that holding a Power Item would not only give you the 8 EVs, but also convert all EVs you receive naturally to be the ones getting raised by the item itself. I kept wondering why I had these few rogue EVs on so many of my Pokémon. 😥 Thanks for the clarification and the great guide!

[@beardedgamer14]

just discovered this video 8 months later :), great video to watch, the reason why there is a waste of EVs in because max EVs per state is 255, 255 EVS/4EVs = 63.75, and because you can't have 63.75, it is rounded down to 63, 63 point x 4 EVs = 252, them 3 EVs from 255-252 are wasted, hope this helps

First time to really understand what EV training means. 😂 This video really educated me. 😂😂😂

[@fernandosimon5621]

My prefered way is to buy 5 of Atk, Sp.Atk, and HP braces and EV train with Encounter Power sandwiches of the pokemon I want. Since the whole party gets EVs it's very fast. For ex, you can EV train a whole party of Physical Attackers in one go. And saves you all that money that you'd spend on vitamins.

Wish they would return Poke Jobs from SwSh. That was the best method for EV training. It was such a time saver!

[@themoagoddess1820]

fun fact: if you'd prefer to have "no good" ivs in a stat(useful with moves like Trick Room), you can put the ev boosting held item for that stat on the parent with the "no good" stat, and they'll be guaranteed to pass that one down (this works no matter how high the iv is, but the only other rating worth going for is "best" and that's easily corrected with hyper training)

4:04 This information is NOT correct. The 1st berry does not bring it down to 100, as mentioned. So only requiring "11 berries" is not accurate. When using the EV reducing berries (in Scarlet), I used 1 to bring it down to 100 (as the video claimed) then used 10 more for the suggested 11 total. It was not enough. I needed a total of 16 berries (it was not a full 252 points, thankfully) to remove that single stat down to "0". Everything else about the rest of the video, superb! 👌 Thank you very much!

[@noelfalabi5979]

Another tip. If you want to mass train 6 Pokemons to max out attack EVs. You can have each of them hold power bracer. Then when you defeat a pokemon yielding attack EVs, it will share this to all 6. For each Maschiff you defeat for example you gain 9 x 6 = 54 EVs. You can then max out the EVs for far less money than just buying vitamins.
