IllegallySane Wrote:They DO count, regardless of whether the pokemon has a high Sp. Atk or a crappy Sp. Atk. Also, you just need to gather 252 EVs worth of SP attack. That means killing 252 Psyducks, 126 Golducks, a combination of both, feeding 10 Calciums and then kill 152 Psyducks, 76 Golducks, or a combination, or speed it up even more with Pokerus/Macho Brace/Power "X" item. Also, it sounds about right that you don't get all 63 stat points in one level, because that'd make a Pokemon too powerful for its level.
This. When you EV train, your Pokemon gradually gains their stats, rather than gain it in one go. You could have had 252 EV's saved up from when it was a little Mareep, but you didn't really notice until that one level up when its Sp.att shot up so many points.
That said, I do have a question that I might be able to find the answer to if I looked hard enough, but want to see if anyone here can save me the trouble. The event Arceus was given at level 100. It's still in my box because I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Is EV training it even possible? It obviously can't level up anymore, but it does have a clean slate of 0 EVs. From what I understand, depositing a glitched Pokemon into the box will fix their stats when you withdraw them; so if I EV trained Arceus and deposited it into the box, would its stats increase to what they should be upon withdrawal? Or is it impossible, and I shouldn't even bother?

252, or 255?
255 is the max, but points after 252 basically don't count for anything, so it's meaningless. It's best to allocate those points elsewhere.
