Ev training problem?

Question

Whenever i start ev training, people keep saying that i have to spread and add them out and im like 'wtf?' please help me. I need to know what they men by spreading and adding them out.

Answer 1

i dont know but the best place o ev trian a sp atk pokemon is in turnback cave and kill hunters

Answer 2

Spreading is what people who are inexperienced say because they don't know what ev's are. I do have a custom spread I somtimes use but usually its all put in 2 stats 252 in two primary stats and 6 in hp.

Answer 3

EV is short for  Effort Value .  Every time your pokemon wins a battle and gets

experience it gains an EV point in specific stat?  Which stat does the pokemon

give a point in?  Well, I will not be answering that here, there is another

guide dedicated solely to that purpose and to post it would be a waste of my

time and theirs.

Okay, so each pokemon gives a point.  What do these points do?  Well, when you

get four in a single stat, that stat will increase by one extra when you level

up.  SWEET!  That means I can fight a million Bidoofs and give my Mewtwo 250,000

HP?  Well, no, unfortunately.

There are limits to how many EV points you can get, and this is why people EV

train.  Altogether, you can only have 510, and a single stat can only have 255.

Why waste those points in stats you are not going to use?  My Gyarados doesnt

know any special moves, so why waste the points there?  I will put them all in

to attack instead.  Using EV points, you can give two stats a bonus of up to 63!

Also, just to save you some time, I will tell you that you should only put 252

EV points in to a stat, even though you can put three more.  Why?  Because 252

is the largest number divisible by four that goes in to 255.  So you would waste

3 Evs.  Unfortunately, you can not stop some waste, and the EV spread people use

the most is 252 in one stat, 252 in another, and 6 in the last.  This has the

minimal amount of waste.

So I have to fight 252 of a certain pokemon... ok... that sounds like a lot.  

Well I have some good news for you!  There are ways to speed this up.  There is

a rare condition your pokemon can get called POKERUS.  This does not harm your

game or your pokemon in any way, it actually doubles the rate you earn EV points

at.  There is also an item called the MACHO BRACE that double them again.  So

each point is actually worth four.  Saves a lot of time, eh?

There are also the power items that you can buy at the battle tower.  I will try

to explain them.  Each item adds four to the EVs you would already be getting.  

So if you fight a magikarp, and have the power item for speed, you get five EV

points.  In case you have the POKERUS at the same time, you add first then

double.  So these are even faster then the MACHO BRACE.
