    From Effort Value Training 101

    Player Influence:



    Now that the Math is set down, let’s talk making this actual possible and keeping it somewhat interesting. As stated earlier, any given stat can have a maximum of 255 EVs added to it. The big problem here is getting to 255. Don’t worry, the game has your back here in a few ways:

    1: Vitamins – HP Up, Calcium, Iron, Carbos, Zinc, Protein each add 10 EVs to your Pokemon. They are expensive, but it’s a great way to get the ball rolling. Each Pokemon can only have up to 10 of each of the Vitamins, that’s 100 EVs in one stat right there, already half of the work is done!

    The catch here is these only work until 100 EVs are put into any given stat. After that point, even if lowered below 100, they won't have an effect.



    2: Pokemon give varying EVs. As an example: Bidoof gives 1 HP EV while its evolved form Bibarel gives 2 Attack EV’s. There are some places which are simply ripe for EV farming (like Rt. 201 in D/P with the Bidoof show up about 50% of the time).

    This Method is the least efficient for 1 EV point at 255 battles to max it, but obviously the foundation for all the methods that follow.



    3: Items – There are items IN-GAME which boost the number of EVs that any Pokemon can earn from a fight.

    A Pokemon with the EXP. SHARE will earn the same EVs that the Pokemon fighting earns. This is a good way to help low-level Pokemon begin their EV training. Unfortunately the augments from the Macho Brace (obviously) and the Pokerus don’t apply (I’ve been unable to test this to date but many sites agree on this fact).

    The Macho Brace doubles the amount of EVs earned from any one fight (Now that Bidoof is worth 2 and Bibarel is worth 4). 1 EV now requires 127 to max while 2 drops to 64.

    Time to make it get better! The Power items earned from the Battle Tower in D/P add 4 EVs of a specific type to the total earned (Bidoof just became worth 5 and Bibarel 6 with the right item). At 1 EV, it now takes 51 battles to reach 255. This is the second most efficient method to EV train.

    A break down of the set is as follows

    Power Weight: +4 HP EV

    Power Bracer: +4 Attack EV

    Power Belt: +4 Defense EV

    Power Anklet: +4 Speed

    Power Lens: +4 Special Attack

    Power Band: +4 Special Defense



    4: Pokerus – This one takes a bit of luck (or an Action Replay I suppose). The Pokerus is a virus that any Pokemon can catch ONCE. It doesn’t hurt them in anyway, obvious, it being here means it helps. Frankly, it helps a lot! While a Pokemon has the Pokerus it gains double the EVs. Suddenly All those numbers I gave above DOUBLE!

    To keep with my Example: Bidoof gives 1 HP EV, assuming your Pokemon has the Power Weight, that ups the total to 5. Now the Pokerus gets figured in and that 5 doubles to 10! Every Bidoof is worth a HP Up now!

    HOWEVER: This boost won’t apply fully through the use of EXP. SHARE



    The equation from earlier changes to this: 2x (X+Y) = Z



    In the event you only have the Macho Brace, the Pokerus still functions the same. 1 EV simply quadruples to 4 EVs. This sets it to 64 battles to reach the max of 255 EVs.



    Diamond/Pearl: 1 EV is worth up to 10 EVs with the right Power Item and the Pokerus, dropping the total battles down to 26 to max (1 battle is added to account reaching 255). This becomes the most efficient method to EV train a Pokemon.
    Finally, a new generation of Pokemon for us to enjoy. There is much to look forward to in 2011!
