EV Guide

Introduction:

This guide will help you EV train your Pokemon to become as good as they can be. If you don't know what EVs are go here.
All competitive battlers will know that EVs are an important part of training your Pokemon and make your Pokemon better than your opponents.

Different ways to EV train:

Battling Wild Pokemon: You will battle certain wild Pokemon only. This way is good for were you can find a common Pokemon that gives the EVs you want, but sometimes you will find Pokemon that you won't want to battle in these areas and will have to run from them.

Using the Vs. Seeker:This way you will battle trainers that have Pokemon that give out EVs for one stat. You will get more EVs at one time, but after every battle you will have to recharge the Vs. Seeker and your opponent most of the time will have higher level Pokemon than in the wild.

Using Exp. Share: Exp. Share gives the Pokemon who battled and the Pokemon with the item both the same number of EVs and both get the amount given to them as if they battled the Pokemon alone(i.e. if you battled a Geodude both of them woud get 1 Defense, if the battled a Graveler both of them would get 2 defense, etc.). This way gives 2 of your Pokemon EV training or trains one Pokemon against higher level Pokemon.
