SO, I GOT "POKEMON: SOULSILVER"

I read stuff about this and I'm going crazy in the battle frontier (I figured out why half of my shit can take three hyper beams.I ground in this one place really bad, but eventually got pissed and got my hands on a hacked Arceus and well...y'know... went apeshit with the EXP share.) to get the EV increaser's.

Protip: Shoddybattle.

EV training is really more useful when you get to the competitive end of things and you've calculated how many EVs it would take your Timid Jirachi to survive a +2 SD Jolly Tyranitar's Earthquake and shit like that, not for beating the Elite 4. And the competitive aspect is what keeps people playing after they get all the badges and smash their rival's face in.

@NB- Not at all! Shoddy battle has like 200 people + on at all times ready to battle, and with the find battle feature you're looking at waiting less than a minute for each battle rather than the hours/days it can take to plan a wireless battle with someone in a different timezone or something.

That's why I put pokemon games on my R4. All it takes to grind EVs is to pop the card into my computer, load up PokeSav, and make changes.

HG/SS on the other hand... well I've only got one DS
(still haven't decided on a team, thought of using Vaporeon but the Eevees still need level ~70 to learn their last move and damnit Gamfreak)

*edit*
For clarity, I do own the pokemon games. If this is getting into files/piracy, let me know and I'll edit it out.

Why do people play competitive sport when they can just kick a ball around? I think it's more or less the same sort of thing with Pokemon. You know you'll be able to beat the game because it's so damn easy, so where's the fun in it, really? Oh, how about playing against other people who do more than just use Fire Blast, and then a Hyper Potion when their HP runs low? Further than that, how about preparing the best possible team without resorting to a legendary? Yeah, that sounds fun!

I didn't mind EV training before I went on to Shoddy (with the right items it only took 5-10 minutes to max out a stat) as there were always friends to play with. We never went further than breeding IVs and calculating average damage values, though. That stuff is tedious.

real pros use the UU tier

dawg, i use NU tier. :D

Create a pokemon!

Catch a Ninjask, open your save with PokeSav (or transfer it to somebody who does) and have them change its ability to No Guard (moves that this pokemon uses or moves that target this pokemon always hit) and give it the Sheer Cold move (OHKO, and nothing is immune to cold unlike normal (Guillotine) or ground (Fissure)!). Pick a fight, lead with Ninjask. Enjoy one of the fastest pokemon (only outsped by Dioxys-Speed form iirc) using an unblockable OHKO that only Sturdy pokemon can resist with the speed of kings (said Ninjask also has max EVs in every stat and 31 for every IV and a speed boosting nature).

The DS wifi battles don't do any sort of authenticity check (or anywhere at all) so you can throw your hacked pokemons at each other all you want. The Coliseum Wii version does so something like that isn't allowed.



Then through priority moves you finally kill the Ninjask and the second pokemon he sends in is a Wonder Guard Spiritomb.

I don't know if they fixed it, but there's a bug with Wonder Guard!






Fire Fang ignores it.

yay
