[spoiler=Natures] What are Natures? A Nature is a common trait in a Pokémon that in the original games played along some side minigames in Pokémon Emerald and other versions where, depending on their Nature, they would participate in contests and win or lose depending on what they were. For example, the Docile nature used to never want to fight and would almost always lose. However, this is not implemented in PRO (and I hope it never will, because that minigame was an RNG fiesta). The main function of Natures is to boost one stat by 10% and to decrease another stat by 10%. There are 25 natures in total: 5 natures are neutral (because they raise and decrease the same stat. Thus, they have no real use. They give no benefits nor decrease anything, and we don't want to have pokemon without good beneficial natures). No nature increases or decreases HP, so HP only depends on IVs and EVs. (Thank god, because that would be adding a few more natures into this). [ATTACH type=full" alt="150808]150808[/ATTACH] We can check the table from bulbapedia or learn them alternatively: Attack increasing natures: Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Brave. Defense increasing natures: Impish, Bold, Lax, Relaxed. Spatk increasing natures: Modest, Mild, Rash, Quiet. Spdef increasing natures: Careful, Sassy, Gentle, Calm. Speed increasing natures: Jolly, Hasty, Naive, Timid. We also have to learn which natures decrease each stat. Attack decreasing natures: Bold, Modest, Calm, Timid. Defense decreasing natures: Lonely, Mild, Gentle, Hasty. Spatk decreasing natures: Adamant, Impish, Careful, Jolly. Spdef decreasing natures: Naughty, Lax, Rash, Naive. Speed decreasing natures: Brave, Relaxed, Quiet, Sassy. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150804]150804[/ATTACH] In PRO, you will see the natures highlighted like this. The Impish nature benefits Defense and decreases Special Attack. The stat which will be increased is highlighted in green, and the one being decreased is highlighted in orange. (Some people say this is red or brown, but I have eyesight issues and I cannot actually tell which colour this is). If the nature is a neutral one (Serious, Hardy, Quirky, Docile, Bashful), all stats will appear white. You will also be able to see the Nature in the Nature section of your pokemon information (Wow, who wondered?). How do we know the best nature for our pokemon? We should study their Base Stats, Movesets, and what are they good at. Are they really good fast sweepers who don't care about defenses and just want to wipe out anything in their path? Then we'll choose an offensive nature. (Modest, Rash, Mild, Timid, Hasty, Naive Gastly). Are they really good tanks who don't care about physical damage, or they just want to stall you until the end of your existence? (Bold, Calm, Sassy, Relaxed, Careful, Impish Chansey). There's a lot of natures and choices to have and you are the one who makes the decisions. You can run mixed damage sets with natures that decrease Spdef or Def and increase Atk or Spatk, there's physical attackers, stallers, wallbreakers... Study the base stats and movesets that the pokemon you want to train has, and then decide. You're the one who has to make the choices. If you want others' opinions on each pokemon's nature, ask for it! [spoiler=Abilities] What is an Ability? An Ability is an inherent power all pokemon have. All pokemon have an ability. Some of them only have one (Gastly with Levitate), others only have two (Bulbasaur with Overgrow and Chlorophyll) and sometimes they have three (Bronzong with Heatproof, Levitate and Heavy Metal). All pokemon come with an ability when captured. If a pokemon only has one ability, it will always have that one. There's no going around it. If a pokemon has two abilities, it will have these two, and if a pokemon has three, then three. Some abilities are more useful than others. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150816]150816[/ATTACH] As you can see, Bronzong has three abilities. The ability Levitate, for example, makes a pokemon immune to Ground Type attacks. Lightningrod does the same to Electric moves, but also increases your Spatk by one stage after being hit by one. Flash Fire does the same but for Fire Types. Volt Absorb and Water Absorb make a pokemon immune to Electric, Motor Drive does the same... you see the point. Some abilities are insanely good because they help out a lot of pokemon to defend against their weakness. Some abilities make them immune to certain status (Limber, Immunity, Own Tempo, Insomnia). However, there are also some abilities that are completely useless. Truant is an ability that makes you only be able to attack once every two turns (you attack, you do nothing, you attack, you do nothing, you attack, you do nothing), Illuminate literally does NOTHING in battle, and so on. There are really broken abilities like Sturdy or Mold Breaker, and there are stupid abilities that you wonder how they even exist. So, how are we going to hunt for the right ability for our pokemon? Well, we need to study which of the abilities can our pokemon have, and which one helps it better. For example, Guts in Rattata is way better than Run Away, Levitate is way better in Bronzong than Heatproof, Lightningrod is way better than Static in Pikachu. Search and look at what each ability in your pokemon can do and choose which one you want to use. [spoiler=EV] EVs or Effort Values are the blue numbers in any pokemon you see. These values can be modified, increased, reset, reduced, fixed, changed... they're amazing. They work as a modifier for all of your pokemon in order to improve them as much as you want. You gain EVs for defeating wild pokemon, trainer pokemon, using proteins or vitamins in your pokemons. Every 4 EV in one stat, your stat will get increased by 1 at level 100. You can have a max of 510 EV between all stats of your pokemon. In a single stat, the maximum amount of EV you can allocate is 252. Thus, at level 100, if you allocate 252 EV in that stat, it will increase by 63. (252 divided by 4). You can decide how to change these whenever you want. You can modify them as you wish by using EV Reducing berries. These can be found in any route, in Viridian Maze and in the Safari EV Zone. These are: Pomeg Berry, which will reduce your HP EV by 10. Qualot Berry, which will reduce your Defense EV by 10. Kelpsy Berry, which will reduce your Atk EV by 10. Grepa Berry, which will reduce your Spdef EV by 10. Hondew Berry, which will reduce your Spatk EV by 10. Tamato Berry, which will reduce your Speed EV by 10. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150880]150880[/ATTACH] Example of berries in my bag. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150875]150875[/ATTACH] As you can see, my Bronzong has 102 EV invested into Defense, 156 into Special Defense and 252 into HP. Divide each one by 4 and you'll be able to find out how much it adds up at level 100. All wild Pokemon, once defeated, will grant you 1, 2 or 3 EV in one stat. Some grant 1 EV in 1 stat and another one in another. There are really weird combinations. They always give an EV of their highest overall Base Stat. For example, Snorlax gives HP EVs, while Gengar gives Spatk EVs. Evolved forms usually give more EVs than unevolved forms. As I said, these 2 give 3 HP EVs and 3 Spatk EVs, respectively. If you hold a Macho Brace, the EVs you gain will be doubled. If the EV in one stat is 99 or below, you can use a vitamin to increase that stat's EVs by 10. However, if you try to use a vitamin once that stat's EV are atleast 100, or the Pokemon already has the maximum amount of EVs (510), you will not be able to. They can be purchased in department stores. These vitamins are: HP UP, which will increase your HP EV by 10. Protein, which will increase your Atk EV by 10. Iron, which will increase your Def EV by 10. Zinc, which will increase your Spdef EV by 10. Calcium, which will increase your Spatk EV by 10. Carbos, which will increase your Speed EV by 10. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150879]150879[/ATTACH] Example of vitamins in my bag. [spoiler=IV] IVs or Individual Values are these orange numbers you see on a pokemon when you capture them. These points, once the pokemon is captured, CANNOT BE CHANGED IN ANY WAY. These are NOT like EVs. Once you capture the pokemon, the IVs will remain there FOREVER. FOREVER! They can ONLY be changed in Legendary Pokemon through the use of Reroll Tickets. These can be obtained through the Solaceon or the Pewter Museum quests. Once you catch the pokemon, start praying for the love of god that it has good IVs. IVs range from 1 to 31. 1 to 5 is qualified as horrendous, 5 to 10 really bad, 10 to 15 is bad, 15 to 20 is acceptable in some circumstances, 20 to 25 is epic to super good, 25 to 28 is godly and 28 to 31 is legendary. It's how I personally qualify them, but it's a basic way to understand the ranges of what we can call good IVs. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150870]150870[/ATTACH] Example of an incredibly good IV Bronzong. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150871]150871[/ATTACH] Example of an error in the Matrix where my luck completely ran out and I found the worst IVs ever. IVs will slowly add up to your stats upon level-ups and upon reaching 100, they will apply fully. What I mean by this is: once your pokemon hits 100, if they had 30 IV in attack, their attack will have increased by 30, being added up as you went along leveling it up. At level 5, it's obvious that you wouldn't get suddenly 30 in attack. It will increase as you level up. For example, if you have 31 IV in HP, you would gain an extra point every 3-4 levels, until you reached 100 and all the 31 points were all applied to the stat. Clearer Example: Pokemon A has 15 HP at level 2. At 5, he might have 20 (Base Stats formula + any EVs + 1 IV out of these 31). This repeats while he grows: at 8, he might have 25 or 26, and the same thing happens. If you still don't understand this, I will leave an example on two pictures: [ATTACH type=full" alt="150866]150866[/ATTACH] Shuckle with only 1 IV at level 100. His HP would otherwise be 150 without any EV investment. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150867]150867[/ATTACH] Shuckle with 31 IV at level 100. As you can see, the extra 30 points in HP IVs made it go from 151 to 181: Exactly 30. These 30 will slowly add up as you level up. [spoiler=The Practice] Click the section you're interested in learning :) [spoiler=Stat Growth: Calculating and Seeing how it works] After having read all the wall of text before, let's do some experimentation! We will do this with Pikachu. This is a great example as Pikachu is the most famous Pokémon and he is a great example. We will do some tests with him. We will be using the following calculator to know his stats at any level we want. https://calc.pokemonshowdown.com/ [ATTACH type=full" width="363px" alt="150781]150781[/ATTACH] We will assume your Pikachu is complete garbage. Your Pikachu has a neutral nature (thus, does not increase or decrease any stat). His IV are 1 in everything (the lowest possible in PRO), he has no EV training and he is at level 5. You can already notice how much faster his Speed increases in comparison to his other stats. Now, let's assume you go around leveling it up. You fight random pokemon in the wild and you level up to level 20 and get some random EV in random stats. [ATTACH type=full" width="369px" alt="150782]150782[/ATTACH] Well, our little Pikachu is now growing! This is pretty nice. He's still a bit garbage, but atleast he is somewhat usable. Let's check him at levels 50, 75 and 100! [ATTACH type=full" width="370px" alt="150784]150784[/ATTACH] Wow, he's getting better! His stats are still a bit terrible, though. [ATTACH type=full" width="369px" alt="150786]150786[/ATTACH] Here, his stats actually start looking decent. That's not bad! One final push for level 100! [ATTACH type=full" width="372px" alt="150787]150787[/ATTACH] We finally have him at 100, nice! Though... his stats are a bit disappointing. His EVs are all spread around making no sense, he has no benefitial nature, he doesn't even hold an item, his IVs are pathetic. This pokemon is basically worthless aside from helping you out to defeat the Elite Four or to rush Story. You wouldn't really be able to sell this for even 20k in any Pokémon Market. You can notice how Base Stats are making certain stats grow faster over time. Even though his Spatk has more EV invested into it than his Speed EV, he has the same IV in both stats, and his Speed is WAY better than his Special Attack. Man, this is disappointing. We want a better Pikachu! We will now grab a Rash Synch and go to Viridian Forest until we catch another good one. And we find an almost Godly one! [ATTACH type=full" width="367px" alt="150790]150790[/ATTACH] Compare this one with the one we caught. This one has 25 IV in everything, it holds a Light Ball, its ability is amazing and it has a really good nature. The one that was garbage had 18 HP, 10 Attack, 9 Defense, 10 Spatk, 10 Spdef and 14 Speed. This one has 19 HP, 11 Attack, 10 Defense, 12 Spatk, 9 Spdef and 15 Speed. The nature helps it a bit: it has a bit less Special Defense but more Special Attack. At just level 5, we already have a noticeable difference. Now, we will carefully EV train it and level it to 25, 50, 75 and 100. We will give it 252 EV in Spatk, 252 EV in Speed and 4 in ATK. Let's see how it grows! [ATTACH type=full" width="371px" alt="150793]150793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type=full" width="371px" alt="150795]150795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type=full" width="370px" alt="150796]150796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type=full" width="374px" alt="150797]150797[/ATTACH] See the monstruosity that has now our Pikachu become: With the right nature, correct EV spread, nice IVS, ability and leveling. our Pikachu has 205 HP (4 more than the garbage one), 141 Attack (5 less than the garbage one), 110 Defense (10 more than the garbage one), 212 Spatk (way more than the 148 of the garbage one), 117 Spdef (just 5 less than the garbage one) and 273 Speed (way more than the garbage one too). We can use this calculator to literally check what any pokemon will have at any level, with any items, test out EV, IV and nature combinations to know if we reach the Speed we need, what nature we can use, what will our stats look like at 100 in the future when we have fully trained our Pokemon and how we need to train it to reach that point. We should use this to plan ahead what we will train and how we will train in order to make our Pokemon absurdly overpowered. [spoiler=Natures: How to control them] So, how do we control the Nature we get when we capture any pokemon? Quick answer: we don't. We try our best against the RNG Gods. If we have no Synchronise pokemon, we will just battle or obtain wild pokemon. These pokemon will have a 4% chance of having any nature. (Since there are 25 natures, each one has a 4% chance of appearing in a pokemon in the wild). Thus, if you capture 25 of the same pokemon without a Synchronise pokemon, it's possible that 20 or more of these don't share a common nature. I heavily suggest you get Synchs as earliest as possible and you synch everything you can for story to progress much easier. If you don't have Synchs, try to only use good nature pokemon for story, or you'll suffer. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150878]150878[/ATTACH] A Natu with the Synchronise ability. How do we then obtain beneficial natures for us, then? Well, Synchs! What are Synchs, you may ask? Well, we are talking about Pokémon with the ability Synchronise. This ability is really rare: only a few pokemon have this nature. However, Natu is an incredibly common pokemon which may also posess this nature. Synchronise has two effects, one inside of battle and one outside of battle. The ability Synchronise will allow your pokemon to apply the same status condition you are afflicted by if your opponent uses a status move on you. Example: Natu goes in a battle. Duskull uses Will-o-wisp. Oh no, Natu is burned! Then, Synchronise activates and Duskull will also be burned. This is a neat ability! However, it has many issues, but it's actually just one. Synchronise inside of battle will have NO effect against an opponent who is immune to the same status you are inflicted by. For example, if a Fire Pokémon burns your Natu, the Fire Pokémon won't be burned. If a Poison or Steel Pokémon poisons your Natu, the Poison or Steel Pokémon will not be poisoned. If an Electric type paralyses your Natu, the Electric pokemon will not be paralysed. Synchronise cannot freeze or make the opponent fall asleep. Also, Synchronise will ONLY activate inside of battle in the same turn you're afflicted by a status condition. Thus, you can't paralyse your Natu on purpose in a wild battle, then flee, and then summon it to instantly paralyse the wild pokemon you want to catch. It doesn't work like that. However, we're interested in its out of battle effect: If a pokemon with the ability Synchronise is in the first slot of our party, 50% of all wild pokemon will have the same nature as this Pokemon. This also works if the pokemon is in the second slot of our party. However, if that's the case, the first pokemon must be fainted for this to work. For example: If Natu is in the first slot of your party, 50% of wild pokemon will share the same nature. If it's Modest, 50% of the wild pokemon will be Modest. However, if Natu is in the second slot, the ability will not work UNLESS the first pokemon is defeated. If it's fainted, it will work. If the pokemon is healthy, Synchronise WON'T WORK. Thus, if we want to hunt Gastly with a Timid nature, we will organise our team like this: [ATTACH type=full" alt="150818]150818[/ATTACH] Example of a synch. 1st Slot: Synchronise Pokemon 2nd Slot: Thunder Wave / Stun Spore / Spore / Whatever you want to use 3rd Slot: False Swiper. (Optionally, fuse 2 and 3 into one by using Breloom with Spore). [ATTACH type=full" alt="150817]150817[/ATTACH] If we want to repel trick: (There are guides on forums on how to do this already) 1st Slot: Pokemon with the level we want to repel trick (Must be fainted) 2nd Slot: Synchronise Pokemon 3rd and 4th Slot: Same as above 2nd and 3rd slot. And that's it. Good luck hunting! Small note: You can change the nature of a Legendary Pokemon through the use of a ticket to any nature you wish. This is not available for normal Pokemon, however. [spoiler=Abilities: How do we hunt them] So, how do we hunt the ability we want? Well, it can be either simple and perfectly easy (Gastly, for example, only has one ability. Thus, we don't need to worry. It will always have the same ability), a bit hard (one ability and one ha) and a nightmare (two abilities + ha). If a pokemon only has one ability, it will always have it (it can change when it evolves though, Gastly's Levitate becomes Cursed Body on Gengar.) However, if we're trying to hunt anything else, we will have to check if it's a normal ability or a hidden ability. If it's a normal ability, we have to check if the pokemon has two, or just one. Then, we factor in the chances. The normal chances of finding a Hidden Ability pokemon are just a measly 5% of the times you'll encounter the pokemon. Thus, if the pokemon has just one more normal ability, it will have a 95 % of having the normal ability and a 5% of having its hidden one. If it has two normal abilities and a hidden one, each normal ability will have a 47.5% chance, and the hidden one will still have a 5% chance of appearing. You can check the abilities of each pokemon in the pokedex. The normal abilities will be found in the first two slots in a blue font, while their hidden ability is found on an orange font. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150850]150850[/ATTACH] Example of a pokemon with a single ability. (100% chance) [ATTACH type=full" alt="150851]150851[/ATTACH] Example of a pokemon with a normal ability and a hidden ability. (95% and 5% chance respectively, with BMS 75% and 25%). [ATTACH type=full" alt="150852]150852[/ATTACH] Example of a pokemon with two normal abilities and a hidden ability (47.5% for both of the normal ones, 5% for the hidden one, 32.5% for the normal ones and 25% for the hidden one with BMS). Then, how do we increase our chances? Well, we can purchase a Black Medallion (or BMS) from the Coin Shop for just 40 Coins so that for the next 72 hours we use the item, we will have a 25% chance of finding a hidden ability on any wild pokemon we find. However, this is bad if we actually want to hunt the normal ability of a pokemon, since we will decrease the normal abilities' chance to get a higher chance of hunting a hidden ability. We can buy a Coin Capsule from other players to purchase a Black Medallion or we can also donate to the game to keep it going :) Abilities can also ONLY be changed in a legendary pokemon through the use of an Ability Capsule. [ATTACH type=full" width="735px" alt="150849]150849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type=full" width="722px" alt="150848]150848[/ATTACH] [spoiler=EV: How do we train them] Now that we know what EVs are, we now need to focus on training. We first will aim towards what we want to train. We have to consider: Are we training a Gastly? Or a Slowpoke? Do we want to train it offensively or deffensively? Are we trying to build a tank or an offensive steamrolling monster? Let's take an example. We want to train our cool Arcanine as a physical sweeper. We want it to be fast and strong offensively. Our idea is to invest 252 EVs into Attack and 252 EVs into Speed. We will leave the 4 other Evs into HP, as we need to fill something out for an extra point. We now will decide if we want to use any vitamins to increase the stat's EVs into 100. If we want, we will use Proteins and Carbos until they reach 100 EV in each stat. If not, we will learn to do it the Classic Way. We will first equip a Macho Brace. We will google what pokemon give Attack and Speed EVs. We see that Digletts and Dugtrios and Zubats in Diglett Cave give us Speed EVs. This is pretty nice, they normally faint in a single hit and, even though they're fast, we will also gain EVs upon defeating them. If we equip Macho Brace to double our EV gain in exchange for temporarily having our pokemon be slower, we will gain 2 Speed EVs per Diglett and Zubat and 4 Speed EVs per Dugtrio. Make the maths to count how many pokemon it will take us to get these stats to 252 EVs each. The Macho Brace can be obtained by talking to one of the people in front of Goldenrod Pokecenter and giving them a Drowzee for it. [ATTACH type=full" alt="150881]150881[/ATTACH] A Macho Brace. However, when we go and do the same in Tohjo Falls vs Goldeen and Seaking who give us Attack EVs, we think: man, this is so painful and slow. Can't we make this faster? We can! We will go to Fuchsia City and enter the Safari Zone. We will now talk to the Guard and ask him to pay to enter the EV Zone Training. While this may be a bit expensive, we will quickly notice the difference: All wild pokemon are level 10 pokemon which give 3 EVs each. If we equip a Macho Brace, we gain 6 EV per pokemon. Doing simple maths, we find out that we only need to defeat 42 of the same pokemon or the same EV pokemon to reach the maximum amount of EVs in a single stat. [ATTACH type=full" width="824px" alt="150882]150882[/ATTACH] Fuchsia's Safari Zone Entrance. [ATTACH type=full" width="842px" alt="150883]150883[/ATTACH] Option 3: EV Training Area [ATTACH type=full" width="899px" alt="150884]150884[/ATTACH] EV Training Area 1 [ATTACH type=full" width="906px" alt="150885]150885[/ATTACH] EV Training Area 2. We will level up our pokemon to around 40 or 50 so he can faint everything in one hit. We will use EV Berries to remove any unwanted EVs in our pokemon. (Those berries can be obtained in Viridian Maze and other places around the world. Also, they're also present to be picked up in the EV Zone Training Area in Safari). We will now enter the Safari EV Zone Training Area. In the first area we spawn, we can talk to the guard to teleport to the second area or we can purchase healing items in case we forgot and we want to stay training for a long time. We can also purchase a 24 hour pass to make the EV training incredibly cheap and be able to use it all day for an absurdly low price. The area to the south in the first area is the Attack zone. The pokemon in the Grass there only give Attack EVs. The pokemon in the northeastern area give Speed EVs. The pokemon in the northwestern one give Spdef EVs. You can read the signs and also pick up the berries next to them: they indicate which EVs each zone gives. Talk to the guard to teleport to the second area. The small grass above the small lake is the Defense EV training zone. The area to the southeast to it is the HP EV Zone. Finally, the area to the north of the HP EV zone is the Spatk one, the final one of the place. This is the best area in the entire game by far to try and grind up your pokemon. [spoiler=IV: How do we fix them] Quick answer: you can't. If you got bad IVs, you have two choices: you cry and stop hunting, or you overcome it, throw the pokemon into a bin, and move on. Life is not fair, luck is not a controllable factor and you have to continue even if RNG kicks you in the face. I've had a 28+ IV pokemon in everything ruined because its most important stat was 01. It's just a roulette. You can get incredibly unlucky. So, how do we work around this? Well, we examine the pokemon and what it really needs. If we are looking for a pokemon for PVP, it must have the highest IVs it possibly can in all important areas, 99.9% of the time. For example, to PVP with a Gengar, we need it to have a +speed nature and 31 IV in Speed, and 252 speed EVs. Why? Well, because a Gengar with that combination will be the maximum and perfect speed for its speed tier (speed tier = a common speed that some pokemon in PVP might share. Imagine you're facing another Gengar in PVP. Your Gengar has 30 IV in speed, +speed nature, 252 ev in speed and at 100. The enemy Gengar has 31 IV in speed, +speed nature and 252 ev in speed. What will happen? You will ALWAYS lose that fight. Because he is just a single point faster. But a single point in speed can mean everything from losing or winning a PVP game. This is not as present or important as in the other attack stats (though it's still an important factor). Speed IV are the most important IV in the majority of pokemon. This factor is only ignored on extremely slow pokemon that, no matter what you do, they'll be slower than a turtle or my hair growth as I'm balding every single day more than the day before. Some pokemon actually want to be slower: Tanks that use the move Gyro Ball (which powers up the slower you are) want to be super slow to literally oneshot some stuff by surprise. (I mean, most of the time, you won't, but it hurts a LOT.) For PVP, my suggestion is that all important IV are either 20 or above. If you need speed and you run a Speed nature, it must be 31. ALWAYS. The only exception if you need to lower your Speed IV value to use a certain IV like HP Fire at 30 speed IVs. If you use an offensive nature (modest, adamant, etc), you should have the focused stat on atleast 25+ ivs. If you're on a tank, its defenses should all be 20+ together with HP. Then, come the exceptions. There are sweepers who don't care about defenses such as Gengar, Infernape or others, whose defenses are paper frail. Their only interest is to steamroll through you and hit before you do. These pokemon don't care about their bulk: they only need the maximum amount of Attack, Spatk and Speed IVs as much as they can. These have a bit of flexibility when it comes to defensive stats. For Bosses, my suggestion is that only the most important IVs are either 20 or above too. For example, you don't need to worry about Chansey having a decent Speed IV to outspeed other tanks in PVP as you're just fighting an NPC, or Clefable having a decent Speed tier against another pokemon for the same reason. If you run Tanks in bosses, just worry about having 20+ in each defense and HP, and a decent nature. And that's everything you need for them. For offensive pokemon, it might depend: If you use a Destiny Bond Gengar, you only need a high speed and a good nature. And that's it. You'll only want it to be fast and die in one hit so it is sacrificed and you can freely kill anything the boss might throw at you. It all depends on the pokemon. Check what function each pokemon does and decide if the Defense or the Attack IVs are necessary or not. Chansey does not need Atk, neither does Gengar. Very different pokemon can share similarities when it comes to needing certin IVs or not. For PVE content and story, try to have all important IVs above 15 or 20 with a decent/good/useable nature. The rest of the IVs can be worked around. It's always better to have them as high as possible, though. In my honest opinion: You should only EV train and focus on pokemon that have good natures, decent or good IVs, will be usable for E4, Bosses or sidequests or PVP after the 4th Kanto Badge. However, remember that Pokemon is supposed to play for fun, and you should be playing for fun. You don't have to use Meta Pokemon always, or only PvP viable pokemon and never use anything else. You must use what you love and you have fun with. Otherwise, you'll last two or three days playing this game. Focus on having fun. and enjoying the game. Not all pokemon are bad. That a Gastly is Timid with 20+ IV in everything doesn't make it bad, it's just not usable in PVP. Some pokemon are near perfection, but due to a single point, they can no longer sometimes be used in PVP. However, it doesn't make it become trash for no reason. The pokemon is still godly. You should still train these pokemons and try to sell them. Or maybe make an army of pokemon and have fun and play with whatever you love the most. If you're playing through Story, try to get decent natures in your pokemon. Try to capture good pokemon with good natures, abilities and IVs so that you can either EV train them later on or level them to 100 and use them for any purpose. Bad pokemon are also fun to use. Who would think that a bad pokemon like Furret would end up becoming a godly and essential part of most Boss Teams? Many bad pokemon will surprise you! I hope you have enjoyed this guide. This has taken me many days to write and release, but I hope this reaches to as many people as possible. :) I am now satisfied with this enough to publish it. But yesterday i saw a gengar with 5 stats 31
