Note the ones with a * give evs to another stats aswell.

For some reason Patrat and Lillipup aren't on there, but yes they do give +1 to attack ev per battle.

Ok i am about to start training my Bagon, have my 10Proteins and 10Carbos, a pokemon in my pc with pokerus.

But before i infect him, "Route 1 - Patrat (+1) / Lillipup (+1) " is +1 the highest you can only get in attack?

No, there are pokemon that give 2 and 3 EVs in attack. Fraxure and Bouffalant both give 2 attack EVs and can be battled in the wild. Not sure if there's anything that gives 3 and can be battled in the wild.

The reason it is suggested that you use route 1 for attack EVs is because you're guaranteed +1 for every battle. If you go to the areas where fraxure and Bouffalant are, they are not the only things there so you'll be wasting time encountering other things that don't give you attack EVs.

They're not on there because that's the list for 3rd Gen. Here's the 5th Gen list:

Oops >.<

Thanks for the updated list ^^

No you can get +2 in attack, for instance Zangoose gives +2 but you will spend ages trying to encounter one as they appear in route 11 where loads of other pokemon also appear that won't give you attack EVs.
If you're gonna go for attack and speed though I would get the power bracer. You can fight loads of Basculin for +2 Speed EVs and each time you will get 4 attack EVs from the bracer. That's what I do at least and then I just switch the bracer for the macho brace when I've maxed my Attack EVs and finish off the speed.

Only in shaking grass (Unfezant).

Was hoping to find a helpful and detailed FAQ about IVs when I came to this thread. =(

Anyone know any? And would be willing to link or w/e? Thanks.

I am still a rookie to IVs, and want to know more.

Serebii.net's page on IVs is quite helpful:

I'm ev training my Hitmonchan in Attack and Speed (It's Jolly natured I should mention), but I had to give it 20 defence evs to get it to evolve. So either speed or attack is gonna get less ev's - which stat should get less?

[Vendidurt]

if i have a female yamask of the right nature and i want to breed with my french ditto(different nature), will i be able to pass the yamask's nature with an everstone, or does it have no effect? serebii is a little vague on it.

im sure it doesnt work for male yamask though.

please help! i want to MM it, but itll get terrible stats if im forced to use my bad ditto.

They got rid of that restriction in 5th gen, everstone trick should always work.

[Vendidurt]

really? awesome! what if its a male?

[EQWashu]

Espeon's HP and Physical Defenses are rather low. Because of this a good physical striker is sort of end game. However, if I were you, I would go with either a modest Nature or a Timid one.

Modest nature means its going to hit a whole lot harder with its Special Attacks.

Timid Nature means its going to be faster.

Now with this in mind, if that Espeon's IVs are low, the boosts might not matter. However, if they are good, then that Espeon should be good.

I would EV train it in Speed and Special attack, maxing out both. It has good Special Defense so you shouldn't be hurting there.

Anyway, good luck and hopefully you get the right nature you want.

thanks ShadenRose! I might go for Modest nature Much appreciated

-EQ, awaiting her DW Espeon patiently...kinda

Always works, either pokemon :P

Currently EVing a chandelure for someone in my clan, but after that I'm going back to EVing my Axew. With a good nature, it can turn into a wonderful sweeper

Very true.

Anyway, Poketransferred my Shiny Vaporeon from SS, and I've EV'ed it in:

252 Special Attack
252 HP
4 Def

Does anyone know a good competitive moveset?

[Victreebong]

I really miss Poke Radar from DPPt. EV training in BW is simple enough (there's even a convenient way to train for Special Defense now) but the Poke Radar ensured constant encounters with the Pokemon you wanted to battle. Good stuff.

Everything gives Attack EV's. Like constantly.

Me too. You can also catch shiny pokemon with it. I was sad when they didn't include it in HGSS.

I just used my shiny Vaporeon for the first time yesterday, and it is so good. 100& my new favourite pokemon.

Mine has the moveset of Scald, Toxic, Wish and Protect, which works excellently. Toxic most pokemon off the bat (unless scald suits the situation better), then protect stall and wishprotect whenever your HP is getting low. Works to perfection, as long as you don't accidently burn a Conkeldurr with guts like I did on the Subway yesterday xD That did not end well.
