Official 5th Gen. EV/IV (Training) Thread
On a lot of other threads there are questions about EV/IV training and other stuff like the wing's on the bridges in pokemon B/W. Well here can you discuss all this stuff. Just talk about your experience and what you are training right now. And of course all the Serebiiforums rules apply here as well.
Hope you have a great time discussing!

Are wings useful at ALL? They just seem like such a small boost...

If you can collect 252 of them, they are worth it.Originally Posted by SuperWeb606

actually, given i get 10-12 ev's a pokemon, its probably faster to train them than go through the bag using 252 feathers lol(though B/W finally introduced the continuous use option.)If you can collect 252 of them, they are worth it.
I want a tyranitar before my garchomp to try and get some of that hax to swing my way in super singles.(first time using a pseudo legendary in garchomp, now they may end up comprising my entire team of 3. i feel dirty)
anyways, i wanna go the choice band set. but my max speed IV ditto, and the fact i only own the spd/atk power items, make it so much easier to do a scarf set. ive never used choice scarf before. i'm contemplating how effective it would against battle subway AI. First i thought it wouldn't be worth it, but then i saw the speed tiers list, and it would be nice to beat a fair chunk of them. i probably will. now i just need a jolly tyranitar. (im gonna take the first one i get, ceebs with IV's.)
my garchomp should have been jolly to, but adamant came first. too lazy i guess.
Since red & blue
I find wings to be extremely useful to find your way out when you lost count on the EV.
Like if you are pretty sure you have 252, but then you can put more than 3 wings... it mean you messed up on counting.

Feel free to pm for trade evolve etc, I will be around pretty often.
Spoiler:- People I have traded/evolved with:
Dark Master
Zoroark
nobody answerd me so im posting upagain cuz i really want to know if theres anything i chould do other than a new nature
Anyone know any good Attack lits and items for Zoroark
Heres what i got so far
Zoroark nickname:Mi Ma (watch the movie)
Gender: Female
Attacks: Night Burst, Flamethrower, Grass Knot, and final move is a WIP but im thinking nasty plot or arial ace (if i deside to breed ill get extrasensory maby even Uturn)
Nature: Gental(i know terrible im breeding later)
Item:BrightPowder/Life Orb/Choice Scarf
The Dragon Master
Taunt is good for breaking walls in competitive battling so they have to attack you. Zoroark is a Sp. Atk heavy pokemon so I would honestly reccomend either a timid or modest nature since both cut attack, which is unneccesary. As far as the held item goes, I don't know but I use a dark pulse instead of night burst. All EVs should go to attack and speed with the remaining 4 in HP

They are useful to add specific EV's to areas, for example, if I wanted to train a Pokemon with 252 EV's in HP, I would need 25 HP Up's, but that only gives 250. Another 10 is too much, so just 2 easy to find and free wings are a better choice.
Off topic from quote, but this is my theory:
Breed/Revive(fossil) a Pokemon and do not touch it.
Instead of buying 25 Proteins/Irons/whatever, try to get 25 Battle Points
Buy 25 of select item
Go to a bridge where wings are available, and grab 2 for a total of 252 EV's
Now, if I wanted it to be EV trained like this:
252 Atk
252 Def
4 Spe
I would need to have:
50 Battle Points
2 Muscle Wings
2 defense EV raising wings (I forgot the name, I'll edit later)
4 Swift Wings
It isn't hard to do, just takes some time. Much more accurate and less confusing.
BUT!
If your Pokemon has PKRS, that's when you have to manually EV train on wild Pokemon.
Hope this helps anyone.

Wait wot. Only 10 vitamins per stat.They are useful to add specific EV's to areas, for example, if I wanted to train a Pokemon with 252 EV's in HP, I would need 25 HP Up's, but that only gives 250. Another 10 is too much, so just 2 easy to find and free wings are a better choice.

Get 10 vitamins of each stat boost you want (Carbos and something?), give them to the pokemon, give it pokerus, then battle 15 Lillipups with the Power Something on, and then take it off and get the 2EV's, then battle 15 Sewaddles/Venipedes and then take off the Power Item and battle one more. Then go ahead and battle one Basculin.
You have the method completely wrong.

That's new to me.
Alright, then just buy ten Vitamins to get 100 EV's, then go ahead and find 152 wings to get a nice 252.
NYAH!

And let's all count the chances of finding 152 wings for a specific stat in 1 day, instead of taking a couple of minutes to EV train! Woot!
Beginning Trainer
Collect wings while you wait for an egg to hatch. Especially if you are trying to get the correct nature for whatever pokemon. Even with the Everstone given to my adamant ditto, it took 3-4 tries to finally pop open an adamant Beldum and the whole time, I was walking back and forth looking for wings. I managed to pick up 25+ of each type of wing not including the pretty wing. That on top of the vitamins, and the power items, it makes EV training much less time consuming.
Dynamo Trainer
In the long run they add up, especially if you collect a lot of them.
Pokemon Breeder
They're a lot more useful for checking EVs and Little Cup where you can't really get a lot of EVs without going past Level 5.
Trainer of Champions
They can be very helpful when EV training the extra 4 EVs if you are really lazy.
I just finished training a golurk so now I'm leveling it up.

I'm training my Salamence in attack and speed.With the moveset Dragon Dance Outrage Flamethrower and Erathquake.

well if you find and save enough then it will really add up the EVs
thats what mine knows except outrage.I'm training my Salamence in attack and speed.
Zettai Muteki
152 will do. Just give the first 100 EVs in Vitamins.If you can collect 252 of them, they are worth it.
Rising Trainer
Is there an upper limit to the wings like the vitamins have?
The Dragon Master
What's his other move Darumakka? :O
banned
crunch. hes adamant so he has some goos IVs in attack. hes also mischeivos
Zettai Muteki
I know it's starting to get OP but why Crunch? Salamence with no STAB?
And just to note, natures doesn't mean it has good IVs for that stat. It could have a +ATK nature but it's ATK IVs could still be crap.
banned
meh...the ones ive gotten have got some good ivs
The Dragon Master
Ah mines jolly for cometitive battling purposes and I replaced my crunch with earthquake for better coverage in the team.
