I made this post mainly to discover what the best and most efficient way of training in Pokemon (white style) games
As many of you do I’m sure I train with an exp share and battle everyone I ever see but my stats aren’t that great and it’s time consuming :x.x:
I would love to know how you train your Pokemon especially if you have won any contests or something I am sure we can all benefit from exchanging training techniques
THANKEE
ALWAYS check your IVs. Eheh. I’ve learned that the hard way. After two days worth of hunting for Swanna and shoving Proteins into my Meinfoo, I saw that it’s attack stat was rather lack luster. Use online IV Calculators to check your Pokemon’s IVs! If they’re terrible, don’t train it.
Check natures. Use the correct natures to boost the correct stats.
And finally, take your time to EV train the Pokemon you will use. Even a little bit will go a long way.
for me the best training is battling the elite four over and over
use pokegen or po. seriously is this even a thing?
Lucky Egg+Traded Poke+Audino Killing Spree= EXP for all.
When I train my team, I make sure to EV train (Raising effort values) them too. EVs are surprisingly very important to a pokemon’s stats, and can raise or lower if you train against certain pokemon, use items on them, have your pokemon get pokerus, give them held items, feed them a certain berry, etc.
In the genV games, an experience share is fine to use for leveling up, unlike the generations below it, where the pokemon that didn’t defeat whatever pokemon you were fighting don’t get EVs if they level up in that battle.
Keeping track of EVs can be time consuming, but it’s very much worth it. When EV training, I tend to have the pokemon that I’m training hold the macho brace and have (or have had, if pokerus is away, it still affects the pokemon, it’s just not contagious to the rest of the team anymore) pokerus and battle pokemon that raise the EVs for a specific stat the most.
If you do so, but still find your pokemon fainting all of the time, try tweaking the moveset. Putting a useful strategy that you would prefer into a pokemon’s moves really helps too. Use the strategy you like best and that fits with the the type of team that you’re making. Another thing with moves is using attack and special attack moves properly if you want to hit hard.
For example, if I have a venusaur, which typically has a higher special attack stat than it does attack and I’ve raised it’s special attack EVs to their highest, it would be a better choice to have it know a special attack move of one of it’s types (For STAB) if I want it to hit hard. Petal Dance, a special attack move would be one optional choice.
EVs aren’t the only values to pay attention to, by the way. IVs are also very important too… but it seems as if I’ve covered a lot already. |D Time to take a break from typing so much.
Dat three month bump.
Anyways, in BW, go to Nimbasa City after the E4, and fight the people in the stadiums. Level 60-70 ish, it got me ready for the VGC 2012 California Regionals.
