Huh... I should try that one day... as soon as I get ahold of said EV itemsJinxy wrote:
EV Item + Pokerus + Sweet Scent + A Earthquaker to babysit your pokemon = 50 EVs per Horde
This is insane, you can finish EV training a guy by like 15 minutes. Also it's fun to watch Spindas drop like dominoes.
Using this method to EV train my 31/x/31/31/31/31 Frogadier right now.
(Or did you mean the vitamin drinks? Because I was thinking those EV Power held items you can get at Battle Maison.)It's not really that bad. The first 3 are pretty easy in my experiences, and the last 2 only gives me problems if I'm unprepared (I DIDN'T KNOW AURORUS HAD THUNDER SORRY GRENINJA). If you really have trouble, forfeiting all 5 battles is an option.Jinxy wrote:
Battle Points are hilariously easy to get in the Battle Institute. You're almost guaranteed to get 9 BP for 5 battles. Hell, you could forfeit all 5 battles and they still give you 3 BP for getting 0 points!
EDIT: Beating 3 and forfeiting 2 seems to be the most efficient way I've found so far to get Super and 9 BP.
Do you perhaps have some list about which hordes are good for each EV gain? I could totally use that.Jinxy wrote:

I can catch one real quick, though, IIRC, Jinxy is breeding some perfect/with good IV ones so if you'll be using it to fill your dex then I can go and catch one.Azure_Kite wrote:
Does anyone happen to have a Clauncher and Swirlix they could assist me with acquiring? I have the whipped dream already, but the GTS requests for these are stupid.
For real? Once I get a couple more nice Pokemon under my belt I'll be doing that.Jinxy wrote:

Guess I'll try then, though I don't use teams centered around strategies, so (read: I'm more of a casual player)...Ciunek wrote:
I tried that 3win2forfeit strat already, works pretty flawlessly. Easy 9 BP, unless you screw it up somewhere (hard to do).
You can try using this.Noobita wrote:
umm, can anyone calculate Yveltal's IVs for me if i post its stats and nature? ._.
Dang, I figured Pokerus with the EV item would be faster than super training. But I never even thought about using hordes.Jinxy wrote:

Yeah, just got a Clauncher
I'm just getting a Swirlix now, by the sounds of it. Thanks for the help though
I did the 3win2forfeit thing precisely because the last 2 fights actually had some semblance of strategy and I did end up losing sometimes. Through, they still don't switch out. I had my Mega Mawile set up on a (Toxic Stall I think) Shuckle and proceed to use Huge Power Sucker Punch with +6 attack boost to OHKO the rest.Princess wrote:
I actually lost 2 battles there cause I have no ****ing idea what the typings are for Gen V pokemon. (I skipped that gen)
Also, non-EV/IV pokes
Get a fletchling, or whatever the second/third evolution is called. Halves the amount of steps needed, and bikes count.mathexpert wrote:
Yeah, you're right (I've already bred one) but 9000+ steps is even more painful. I'll be using the bred one for Sylveon since it needs a fairy type move (it gets it @ lv 9) though~

Also, I ended up getting a shiny two days ago, a Mawile to be exact. From a egg, after I only managed to find one and mated it with Ditto. Feels good man.
Does the prof give anything, like a oval or shiny charm?Azure_Kite wrote:
Kalos region pokemon are all mine, from Aegislash to Zygarde.
Does it? I didn't get the megastone thing for it yet, still around Route 17. Breeding Pokemon for hopes of shinies and all that. Plus trading for Y specific pokemans.Jinxy wrote:

I'd like a Mawile, if you have an extra one ^o^RL Link wrote:
