EV Gauges are still in. The top of the stat screen displays IVs by default, but you can switch to EVs wit the y button I think.
If you shove 10 Vitamins into a Pokemon first, then you knock it down to a little over 3 days at least... Although at that pace it would still be quicker to just grab a Power item and hunt down specific Pokemon. IIRC from Gen 5 it took a couple of hours to max out a stat.
the first 100 evs can still be sped up using the ev boosting one use items like Carbos and Protein though
I had no issues whatso ever with using "Power Bracer" on a Pokerus pokemon in black and white. only took me an hour of killing lillipup's and patrats on route 1 for a max attack ev.
You're still looking at a whole week to fully train one Pokemon with a standard 252 in two stats spread.
Two hours per stat is an incredibly long time compared to what we're used to, and that's if you're lucky or well connected enough to get Pokerus. Plus the Power items are very expensive postgame items.
There's a facility on Poke Plaza that resets EVs if I'm not mistaken.
Isn't the festival plaza basically Join Avenue? Do you just have to randomly hope you get the stall or can you guarantee some kind of EV training tent?
That snippet of code is referring to the feature not existing before Sun/Moon and to not enable it in a past gen save file.
Leftover. XYORAS had strings for Wonder Launcher too.
Er, wouldn't it be faster to just ko the wild pokemon and go look for another than having to kill it's allies while the wild 'mon slowly kills your own 'mon not to mention that summons can fail and arceus knows how often the wild pokemon will summon an Ally.
Yeah...presumably you can max out the EVs in a particular stat in one (long) encounter. You have to knock out each opponent one-by-one, but you don't have to keep going into the menu and doing Sweet Scent. You can plausibly argue that it should end up being more convenient.
Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure how the chaining thing works. Just have what a bunch of people have posted to go off of, but there is an item you can use to make wild Pokemon more likely to call a partner. Just get them to low health which increases chance of calling an ally and occasionally use the adrenaline orb (it only costs 300 poke dollars) and the consistency would probably be fine.
It's confirmed, we saw a video of a level 10 Banette Mega Evolving and outspeeding a level 30 Wingull on the same turn by using a status move.
My main question about Hyper Training remains:
Males can pass HA with Ditto since XY. And now they can also pass the ball.
Yeah, that's... that's the point. Prankster worked on the first turn that it Mega Evolved. That didn't happen last Gen.
Forgot about the Ditto part. If it's between a male and a female though, which ball do you get, or is it random?
Nvm I'm dumb.
That I don't know for sure but if it works like HAs (which is likely), then it's the female's.
Would this nerf Mega Sableye? If Magic Bounce activates before Prankster then he no longer gets a singe shot priority status move anymore. This is a big buff to stuff like Mega Diance and Mega Manectric if true, and suddenly Absol's and Houndoom's low base speed pre mega are no longer an issue.
You've had 20 years to breed a fucking Ratatta.
Can someone confirm if breeding regular Pokemon with HA can result in Alora Pokemon with their own HA (e.g Get a Snow Warning Vulpix from Drought carrying Parents)? Kinda important for me as currently the only thing making me consider choosing Sun is getting a HA Aloran Ninetails. But I already have HA Vulpix from ORAS and I am happy to wait till Pokebank...
