Won a Pokemon tournament today. Got a gift for participating in it too!

Note to self: nobody knows about EV training. I wrecked everyone, and most were running legendaries. I didn't use mega evolve once

I don't know shit about Pokemon but what is EV training

Re: Post Your Picture VII - The Continuation (Read Page 1)
 

EV training boosts stats on you pokemon. Competitively, you usually have 252/252/4.

It makes a tiny difference, but is very noticeable. An Umbreon with no EV training at 50 has 164 health. Lurker bred me a perfect one with IV's (another story), and at the same level it sits at 202 health

Basically it's like gemming in WoW. It's better to stack it all in two stats than spread it out in all of them.

I'll never forget the look of awe when my azumarill one shotted 4 dragon Legendaries.

Just for reference, we were forced to draw straws and get random people for the final 4, 2v2. I got the girl, and I basically had to play the game for her. She didn't even mega evolve her Gardevoir. On top of that, it couldn't moonblast a dragon in 1 hit in mega form.

I carried her so hard

Also, I was a little disturbed that everyone except me was running 4 attack moves, most of them with at least 2 of the same type.

Edit

Here's the final battle, if you want to see just how bad the competition was

Local tournament? Kind of surprising considering your area. I mean, I would understand a local tournament elsewhere not having many folks running proper IVs/EVs, but you're in San Francisco, right? Some other dudes should totally be on board with that shit.


incidentally, IVs/EVs are bullshit and I hate that Nintendo is officially supporting people who exploit them

Re: Post Your Picture VII - The Continuation (Read Page 1)
 

Yeah your opinions have always been stupid

Re: Post Your Picture VII - The Continuation (Read Page 1)
 

Nintendo supports it because it's a major time sink for post game pokemon

Re: Post Your Picture VII - The Continuation (Read Page 1)
 

Yeah, I guess. I just wish there was a more understandable way of training stats outside of leveling that made more sense. When I played Gen 1, I originally thought the only thing to do was those vitamins, and I was OK with that. Then I learned about the "box trick", where you can train EVs of level 100 Pokemon. I mean, I didn't understand EVs at all at the time, but I knew I could raise my mons' stats that way even though it made NO SENSE AT ALL.

I think I heard there are some minigames or something for training EVs in X/Y though. I guess that's actually an improvement. Definitely makes more sense than weirdly boxing Pokemon to get their stats to go up.

Re: Post Your Picture VII - The Continuation (Read Page 1)
 

Yeah, special training is a godsend. Full EV training takes about 60-90 minutes to do from scratch.
