Your Guide to EV training!

Never mind, it is recycled. Sorry.

Here's some good EV training crap, with DPP training spots and such.

Just some stuff about Pokerus, it's extremely rare, and it's accepted there's a 1 out of 32768 chance of running into a wild Pokemon with it. Also, any Pokemon that's been "cured" of Pokerus will continue to receive the benefits of it.

Added that extra bit on EV-Reducing Berries, DPPt Spots.
Feel free to recommend more or recommend an addition to the guide.

Updated with an almost complete set on where to EV train for DPPt.
Thanks CoB.

I caught 3 Pokemon in Soul Silver with Pokerus, but no shinies. How do you think that makes me feel?

^ chances are you only encountered one, and it just spread to them the moment you caught them. Also, there are much better places for speed and special attack EV's. Surfing at the resort area has a... I think a 95% chance of encountering a golduck? That's 2 sp.att EV's every fight. That's in platinum. Diamond and Pearl I think it's 100% chance. For speed, you can surf in victory road and you'll only encounter golbats which give 2 speed. Also in Diamond/Pearl/Plat. I don't have anything on HG/SS as I don't have them yet.

Because most of us like to play the game the way it was meant to be played, not by speeding up EV training or manipulating IVs to have 31s in everything.

Nownow, the same results are available via pokesav, just faster. I don't think competetive battling is exactly part of the way the game was meant to be played, it's not like theres rankings for people who have the most EV trained pokemon, and 31 iv's to everything is just ridiculous. Too much abuse of power on the hacker's part.

I dunno. I should have had a full party full of Pokerus-infected Pokemon if it had spread before I deposited them into the PC. None of the 3 Pokemon that I caught stayed in my party, that they all went into Box 1 the moment I caught it.

I had my Cyndaquil defeat every Pokemon I can, save for those that I catch with my starter or some misc Pokemon. Couldn't have caught it from battling.

That is an incredibly ineffecient way of getting it. The chance of a wild pokemon with pokerus is like, 1/23k.

Chance of three wilds is even lower. Upwards of one in ten trillion?

Which is why I mad I haven't caught a shiny yet in my Soul Silver.

+1 usefulness thread. Just gimmie more spots to EV train and I'll be happy.

Added !

Can't believe we forgot about the 6 Magikarp trainer. 6 speed EVs right there(without any boosts). It's one of the fisherman west of Eterna in Diamond and Pearl (not sure if he's in Platinum, though every game has had one of those guys so far). No idea where he is in HG/SS, but it's one of those trainers early on which make you go "OMG he has 6 Pokém... no wait just Magikarps.". Maybe he's near the bridge area north of the Union Cave.

You get one pokemno with pokerus and you're set for life. Just infect it to some "pokerus mule" pokemon, set the mule in your PC after it's infected (pokerus won't leave when the pokemon's in PC), and get him out to infect any of your new pokemon when you want.

That's why it's much easier to simply go ask someone on serebii/smogon/etc to infect your pokemon.
