“:So how do you keep track of all the EVs you’ve distributed to your Pokémon? To be quite honest, the only real way (without using an Action Replay) is to monitor and regulate the Pokémon you battle”

There is another way that doesn’t require an external device plugged into your DS, but you may question whether doing so is considered legitimate or not.

As some of you may know, the GTS has been cracked in the games, allowing you to access a different server than Nintendo’s one simply by changing the DNS settings on your DS. This one is an example:

http://pokecheck.kraftpaper.org/

Having said that, if you change your primary DNS to what’s mentioned there, and log on to the GTS, you can upload the Pokemon (which will “fail” to prevent your Pokemon’s data loss), and the website will record the Pokemon you uploaded as a .pkm file. You can then open it up in Pokegen or Pokesav to check its EVs, IVs, and all of that stuff.

What I do is use one specific attack on the wild Pokemon and count that move’s PP. If the wild Pokemon does not faint in one hit, just use another attack. You wouldn’t have to keep track of the second move’s PP.

@zenmaster pfc

That’s why you don’t max out with 255. you go to 252. if you do that, say, for Sp. defense and speed, you”ll have a few spare EV points to use on other stats.

The stat will be higher or lower( no duh,) but it doesn’t change the whole maxing it out deal.

oh, and using 252 EV points and 255 doesn’t change the stats, so it’s effecient, and you get some spare points 🙂

and just a little note, in Lv.100 battles, it is 1 stat for every 8 points.

Um… Say I max out the Defense ev, 255 ev’s right? For every 4 ev’s gained, I gain 1 def stat. That means 255 / 4 = 63 r 3. Question is, what happens to the remainder 3? Do we round off or something?

Another question. Is this gaming mechanic affected by natures?

Thank you.

In D/P/Pt, keeping track of your EV’s was easy with the Poketch counter app. I miss that thing in B/W.
