Pokémon X and Y

[PLEASEHELP1991]

someone sent me a Japanese Gible over Wonder Trade so now i will use it and get a cool 1.7x exp boost to my eventual Garchomp



it even has the nature i'd want for a Garchomp, Jolly!!!

also, it's level 1, cause it was bred. so it's got egg moves and such. i wonder if the guy didn't want this particular one because he wanted a different nature, or because he's trying to get a shiny Gabite

i think it's silly because ivs are set to max when you battle someone
NVM DISPROVEN LOL

can we have it after pokemon bank comes out? I need my tourney darkrai and shit

no that's cheating













actually idk. Someone make a thread about it

[YPrrrr]

Ubers are for squares

[Samus Aran]

Really?  His frequency rate must be higher in X because I kept running into that bastard when training there.

i went back and encountered plenty more and caught one, so

if we are ever going to hold a pokemon tourney, we'd need to set some rules because not everyone here is into ev training and stuff like me, ypr, and snowy are (and idk if blu is)

we should have a tourney designated for normally-raised pokes and maybe keep ubers and borderlines out of it or something

and, should there be a level cap? really doubt all of us are going to have a level 100 team ready to go any time soon. maybe we should have a level 50 tournament first or something. save level 100 boyah tournaments for later.

man this could be really fun

[Samus Aran]

other possible types of tourney rules to make for interesting tourneys:

-gen vi only pokes
-must include gen vi starter
-type-specific tourneys (dual type allowed obviously or this'd be really hard to do)

famy's really into ev/iv stuff too rofl


and it does seem like it could be fun lol

Also wtf is ev/iv training

[Samus Aran]

Well I think that if you play against someone online you can have it set to level 50 so even if I have level 100s and you have level 20s, they're all the same level and their stats are changed as such.Only new pokemon or only pokemon found normally in the game?

I think that could be really good

I think that could be fun too.

i meant only new pokes. i know there's only around 70 new ones, but still, such a limitation could cause some really interesting team choices imo

ok, so each pokemon has unique individual values that range from 0-31 for each stat that determine the base stats of your pokemon and only one stat can be the max of 31 i believe. you can add more to the base stat by training your pokemon for effort values which you can do by playing the super training minigames for each stat or seeking out particular wild pokemon that give out particular evs
also just read kaz's post \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

it would be faster for you to just look it up, but first of all you can't really "train" ivs, they're passive and randomly generated and they determine the base value for each stat. they're hidden values that can only be checked in-game by npcs. you can breed to pass down ivs, though.

evs are completely in your control, they are "effort value" points awarded for a specific stat, and each 4 effort value points per stat equals a +1 for that stat on a level up. fighting pokemon that specialize in a specific stat give evs. so a zubat, who specializes in speed, gives speed ev points.

the max ev points per stat is 255, but thats not divisible by 4 so you should only go to 252 for one stat, 252 for another stat, and 4 for the last (in most cases) as the max ev altogether is 510.

so should you fight 252 zubats? if you want, but preferably you'd fight golbats because they give 2 speed points. and in addition, you could use carbos 10 times which equals 100 speed evs right there, but after the first 100 vitamins no longer work.

and in x/y, now there is super training which is a way to ev train that's i guess a little easier for early-game, still tedious though but at least it's a new way lol

BASICALLY, ev training is a specific way to battle pokes + super train in order to max out specific stats to your liking

(also stat growth is affected by natures too this is also v. important)

there is your vague explanation ur welcome
