Nature IV and EV Guide

|Pokémon Natures|

-----------------

 

Rather than just being a superficial personality, Natures actually affect the growth of a Pokémon.

Each nature increases one of its stats by 10% and decreases one by 10% (by the time it reaches level 100).

Five natures increase and decrease the same stat and therefore have no effect.

 

Addition: Pokemon Revolution Online - Green Stat +10% and Orange is -10%

 

Find which nature corresponds to your preferred stat boosts/drops.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| | -Attack | -Defense | -Sp.Atk | -Sp.Def | -Speed |

----------------------------------------------------------------------

|+Atk | Hardy | Lonely | Adamant | Naughty | Brave |

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| +Defense | Bold | Docile | Impish | Lax | Relaxed|

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| +Sp.Atk | Modest | Mild | Bashful | Rash | Quiet |

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| +Sp.Def | Calm | Gentle | Careful | Quirky | Sassy |

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| +Speed | Timid | Hasty | Jolly | Naive | Serious|

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

In most cases it is preferable to have a nature that decreases either Attack or

Special Attack for Pokémon whose strengths are the opposite type of attack. Espeon,

for example, favours Special moves, so it's best to use a nature that decreases its

Attack since it won't be used.

| IV ( Individual Value )|

--------------------------

 

IVs or Individual Values, are orange stats that every Pokemon has. They range from 0 to 31 in each stat,

and cannot be changed without resorting to cheating devices. Good IV with good nature are players demand.

 

Sample is:

------------------------------------

| Nature | Stat | IV | EV |

------------------------------------

|Pikachu|Timid| SPD | 31 | 000 |

------------------------------------

| | | Sp.A | 30 | 000 |

------------------------------------

| | | Atk | 28 | 000 |

------------------------------------

 

Pikachu is a good at speed, so if you want a good Pikachu, you must hunt a Pikachu with a good iv and nature.

Of course not only the Speed we're talking about, you need to choose what type of Pikachu you want.

ATK or SP.Atk? Since Timid decrease the ATK by 10%, your pikachu must SP.ATK.

Train your Pikachu with Speed and Sp.Atk and moves with all special atk.

 

-----------------------

| EV ( Effort Value ) |

-----------------------

 

IVs are totally random. You cannot IV train. EVs are a different story.

It takes a while to explain, so be patient while reading this.

Some major points to know:

1. EV stands for Effort Values

2. A pokemon can get up to 510 EVs

3. EV training is a long and tedious process

4. Different pokemon give out different EVs when beaten

5. The process of EV training is just fighting specific pokemon

 

The point of EV training is to help manipulate your pokemon's stats. A pokemon can obtain up to 63 extra stat points

in 2 different stats, and use the remaining to raise another stat 1 point. The usual way to EV train is

to give each stat 252 EVs, and the last one 4.

For every 4 EV points a pokemon gets in one specific stat, it gets one extra stat point in that stat.

 

To check which pokemon give out which EVs, you can check www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/

find the pokemon you're battling, and on the bottom of it's page, it will tell you which EVs it gives out

when you beat it.

 

As you level up, any EVs the pokemon has will be applied gradually, so don't be surprised if your pokemon

only gains 2 or 3 points per level. Once you reach level 50, it starts to pick up a bit. It increases a bit

more every level.

 

Another thing to keep in mind, is the pokemon's nature. If you're going to EV train your Staraptor for speed,

you don't want to give it a nature that will lower it's speed. A good nature for that would be a Jolly nature,

which raises speed and lowers special attack.

 

One last note, you can increase the EVs your pokemon receives in battle. If you have the Macho Brace, and give

it to your pokemon, it's EVs will be doubled. Another thing that has the same effect is Pokerus. If both are used

at once, the least you can get from a pokemon is 4 points.

Addition: You can reset or reduce your EV by 10 using Reduce Berries.

 

 

 

 

I collect the information on internet to easily explain it. So, sorry :(
