Tips for EV Training
  • Focusing your battles on Pokémon that give the specific EV you want is key. Don't just battle anything you see!
  • Chaining Pokémon (defeating the same species repeatedly) can sometimes increase the chances of rare Pokémon appearing or give bonus EVs, though this guide focuses on direct yields.
  • Remember that some Pokémon might be easier to find at certain times of day or in specific weather conditions, so keep an eye out for those environmental cues.
  • Don't forget about items like the Power items (Power Bracer, Power Belt, etc.) which you can get from the Battle Tree. These items increase the EVs gained per battle, making your training sessions much faster!
  • Pokérus is also a huge help if you can get it – it doubles your EV gains.
