It's amazing what you can do with even the most worthless of pokemon with the right EV training and move set.

yeah that would be nice. but personally i prefer just battling what and how i feel like battling. it makes for a more fun experience. espically when theres nobody around to worry about being stronger than.

I'm EV training as of right now. I training my Adamant Pupitar with Dragon Dance, and I going to catch a Adamant or Jolly Slakoth, so it would later be a Vigoroth, then a Slaking in a few days. Slaking has good base stats, it's major weakness is Fighting moves and it's Traunt ability.

Makes it more fun for you maybe. I enjoy the aspect of pitting my own guys against others personally(which is odd, I'm not normally the competitive type in mmo's). It's only not fun when my guys get slaughtered because I didn't take the effort to EV train them.

Different strokes I guess. I understand not everyone finds this method enjoyable. I'm just not one of them. :P

Now if only those darn kids would stop playing Battle Revolution with full teams of Legendaries! :edmad:

I'd also like to hear how those work out for you when you're finished Crash.

I don't EV train. I feel that EV training can really sap all the originality out of the Pokemon experience. With all the elitists and hardcore players, it's nice to just use your own unique Pokemon.
I usually don't have to worry too much about super-duper-uber pokemon since I have a thing for the one-hit-KO moves.;)

They have such little accuracy, though

Exactly, I think I've maybe gotten hit once by a 1hko move. It's a little hard to pull those off when they have such horrendous accuracy.

Also I'd like to point out EV training has nothing to do with unique pokemon. o_O I mean I try to find ones that compliment each other but they're also ones I like and are usually underplayed anyway(I have a Carnivine on my team which hardly anyone uses due to their stupidly low speed. I've also toyed around with Ariados).

I only offered some advice about EV training in the OP because I figured not everyone knows about that method of raising pokemon and some people enjoy getting the most out of their guys. :sadbendy:

Really? My Kyogre pulls off Sheer Cold on a semiperfect no-miss ratio. Also, as soon as I find Diamond, I'm going to EV train my Infernape in the way of Special Defence. It's his biggest weakness.

yeah. i believe sheer cold is maybe the only 1-hit KO with good accuracy.

I don't use ubers when I'm battling. I do consider using non-uber legendaries like: Raikou, Suicune, Regice, and Registeel.

ubers take alot of the fun out of the game. but it does make for easy leveling-ups of other pokemon. :D

by the way, anyone else notice just how awsome rotom is?
