Flame Dragon Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 New to this.What's ev training?Whenever a pokemon faints it gives EV points based on it's highest stat and what form it is in the evolutionary chain. For example, Magikarp the first form gives 1 SPE EV since speed is it's best stat. Gyarados on the other hand give 2 ATK EVs since that is his best stat. Now, what do these numbers do? For every 4 points you get the net value of the stat increases by one. So after killing 2 Gyarados your actual ATK will go up by 1 point next time you level up. However, their is a limit to the amount of EVs you can get. Each pokemon can only handle 510 points worth of EVs and each stat can only get 255 points. This means if you max out a stat it will be 63 points higher then if you used rare candies to go from level 1 to 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Alright, I've decided to use Sigilyph as my trusty wall pokemon, however, there's a problem. I want it to learn: Cosmic PowerStored PowerRoostPsycho Shift I plan to my Sigilyph to breed a Xatu, but it leaves out Roost...and if I get Roost, it leaves out Psycho Shift and Stored Power...I was thinking of a chain breed, but that takes a lot of effort. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't get why it wouldn't be able to breed Roost with Xatu if you just move on from 4th gen. Also Psycho Shift isn't worth it imo. Cosmic Power can be subbed with Calm Mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just curious, anyone know when smogon is gonna update their strategy dex with Gen V Pokemon or are they still playtesting everything? Been out of competitive for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what nature to use and my EV spread is probably horrible. I'm not sure if I should use sub or moonlight. Any ideas?Also, don't tell me to scrap it.

Cosmic Power can be subbed with Calm Mind. Well let's just say it takes lots of effort and walking to do all that. The reason I put Cosmic Power is to make a study wall, while Psycho Shift shifts the effect of a held Flame or Toxic Orb, while I can reboot HP with Roost, and then when it's enough, Stored Power would be powerful with the help of Cosmic Power.

I want to try something you don't see on wifi everyday.For Nature +Sp DEF, - Sp ATKFor the EV you don't really need to boost them since Curse will increase it.Healing moves are always nice so I'll go with that.

If your going to be taking attacks the extra 6% heal a turn is very important. As for Cosmic Power losing the DEF boost sucks, but you will no longer be splitting your EVs and you can specialize in Sp DEF making it a better wall overall. Stored Power should get just as strong with Calm Mind since like Power it boosts two stats at once as well. Hell, with the Sp ATK boost it should be stronger.

Twig Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 So they're banning Drizzle altogether instead of just combining it with the swift swimmers? Looks like they're just going to ban weather completely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 i was just wondering, what nature(s) would be great for the following Pokemon:- Volcarona +SpATK/-ATK- Hydreigon +SpATK/-ATK- Chandelure +SpATK/-ATK- Haxorus +SPE/-SpATKHowever spending on the move set and the item those might not be best. Try checking around on the smogon foums to see what they say. Yesterday, Smogon announced what's getting voted on this time: Non-Pokemon:Sand StreamDrizzleDrought Pokemon:Deoxys Speed Forme (only needs a simple majority)Latios (only needs a simple majority)GarchompThundurusExcadrill (only if Sand Stream is not banned)Manaphy (remove from Ubers; only if Drizzle is banned) Thoughts?It's been a while since I played, but I'll give my thoughts. I'm fine with weather getting the ax. Deoxys and Lat can go.ATM, I don't think Chomp is that badIsn't part of Thundurus problem rain? Or have things changed that much?I don't mind Excadrill, but it might have something to do with my team full of decent counters.If Drizzle is gone I see don't see much reason for Manaphy to stay away. And there goes the purpose of 5th genYes, it's not like it didn't bring new pokemon, and moves, and abilities right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
