I'm having trouble finding out what EVs (effort values) are? If defeating a certain type of pokemon that has high attack, will my EV for attack go up or something?

SO CONFUSING! :wall:

 

I already know what IVs (Individual values) are. I think it basically means a pokemon's potential of having either high or low stats. Completely random, but I think Shinies always has high IVs.

 

 

After about 10 years, I finally got a new Pokémon game :P

Just bought Heart Gold :)

 

EDIT: Anyone able to help me? I want all 3 starters :P

 

I have a Serperior that can breed Snivy and trade that if you want. If you have the water or fire starter, I would appreciate that too.

That would be awesome :)

I'll start playing tomorrow, so I won't have much to trade except a Totodile, though :s

Shinies have random IVs. Other than that, pretty much right. Both EVs and IVs screw with your Pokemon's stat growths.

 

Every Pokemon has a set EV yield, ranging from 1 to 3 total, usually in its highest stats. So, something like Litwick would give +1 Sp.A, while Swalot would give +2 HP. Every 4 EVS is one extra point in that stat, with a cap of 510 EVs across all stats and 255 in any individual stat. Vitamins add +10 EVs to a stat, Pokerus doubles the amount of IVs you get from a battle, as does the macho brace (So, Litwick would give +2 with just one, and +4 with both), while power items add +4 in whatever their stat is (Power lens adds +4 Sp.A, regardless of the Pokemon's EV yield. So Swalot would give +2 HP/+4 Sp.A). With Pokerus and a power item, something that would normally give +1 EVs would give +10.

 

Bulbapedia has a list of Pokemon by IV yield, for reference. Find something with the stat you want that you can easily farm and you're good to go.

 

Last thing to note is that EVs stop having an effect after 252, so your stat will max at +64 at level 100.

^ I always thought IVs cannot be changed. :-? Or you might have made a mistake and meant to say EVs.

 

Does it matter if I use EV boosts like vitamins or wings on a low level pokemon? I have a lvl 1 growlithe

with a good nature, ability, and IV so would it be ok if I cap growlithe's EV to 252 in attack and speed at level 1?

Volcarona's neutral against fire too, or am I missing something?

 

Volcarona is a mixture of fire and bug type.

 

Bug is weak against fire so the damage is doubled if said pokemon was only a bug type.

Fire is resistant to fire so the damage is halved if said pokemon was only a fire type.

 

2 x 1/2 = 1. Volcarona would take full damage to fire type moves so you're right. This rule doesn't always apply if Pokemon

have abilities that can counter certain types. (Pokemon with levitate is impervious to ground moves)
