EV's and IV's hints and tips for Pokemon Ruby

EV's and IV's

EV's-After battles with certain Pokemon you will get effort values. Effort values increase how much your stats increase when you level up. Its good to train Pokemon on ONLY Pokemon that give out EV's because not all Pokemon do. Here are some examples:

HP:Marill (Petalburg)

ATTACK:Sharpedo (East of Mauville[super rod])

DEFENCE:Graveler or Clamperl (Many B1F Victory Road[rock smash])(Clamperl anywhere underwater)

SPECIAL ATTACK:Spinda (East of Fallabor Town)

SPECIAL DEFENCE:Tentacruel (Surfing anywhere on the right side of the map)

SPEED:Linoone or Manectric. Linoone(Routes 118-121, and 123,Manectric(Route 118)

IV's are a little different. They are based on a random # between 0 and 31. IV's can't be controlled obtained or changed. Every IV gives you one stat point.

EX: An alakazam's max special attack is 403 with 31 IV's.But Special attack IV is 0. You would subtract 31 from 403 to get a max special attack of 372.

Good EV Training

-Use macho brace, it doubles the EV's you get in a battle.

-Give them drugs-each drug(Protien, Carbos, etc.)gives them 10 EV's.[can give them a max of 10 drugs per-stat.]

-DON'T USE RARE CANDIES!!!!! You get no EV's!!!
