[on site] EV Training Hotspots List/Guide: 4th Generation

[Erodent]

This project is complete! Information will be HTMLized by jumpluff mingot shortly. Thank you to all contributors!

Greetings, people! I'll get straight to the point because I don't like elaborate introductions. Recently I wrote up a Platinum EV Training Guide, found here. I received a PM from Tangerine today stating that I should update the list of useful Pokemon and what EVs they give, adding a list of useful trainers to rebattle (The current and not-so-impressive list can be found here). Unfortunately, I am only one person, and I can't do this alone. For this reason, I will need you guys' help...and a lot of it!




This thread exists to tackle the following questions:

• Where are all the DPP trainers that would be convenient to rebattle during an EV Training process?
• What Pokemon do they have and what EVs do they give?
• Why are specific trainers, not a series of random ones, useful to rebattle?
• What are useful Pokemon that can be used to train certain EVs? (The list in my guide doesn't have DP stuff, and more [quality] content is always appreciated!)

Note: we are not detailing ALL trainers and Pokemon, but only useful ones.

To put it simply, this project aims to update the current EVing Article with a list of researched information that answers the above questions.

Please Help Out!

Please post in this thread if you express interest in this.

This project might take a little time, given the large number of trainers out there. It sounds boring, but think about all the people that can benefit from this! Upon the completion of this project, members from Gamefaqs could quite possibly stop creating threads like "WHERE EV TRAIN PLACE!?" Remember guys, many hands make light work! Providing little bits of information on a regular basis can really get this project going, because the list will slowly but surely be finished. If you are in any way consistently involved with this project, you will be given credit and acknowledgments when the guide (list?) is ready to go! I really look forward to working with everyone.

The Process

Please refer to this thread as we are going to work on something similar to that. The only difference is that this will be combined with the current EV manual and will be in list/table form. Don't hesitate to help and don't be shy!

Volunteers or contributors will then feed information to me, which I will continuously update. I myself (of course) will do the necessary research, so everyone working together is really the essential thing.

Messy List

All research goes into this messy draft. Let me start us off with a couple of trainers and their information. Note that this is just a DRAFT. The real one will not look like this at all (we'll also make the language more sophisticated)!

It is not necessary to list all locations. Simply list useful ones.
It is not necessary to list all Pokemon/trainers. Simply list useful ones (but the list itself should be diverse enough to have numerous options for where to EV train what).

It would be great if you helped mention the level range that the Pokemon are found at (but you don't have to)!
It would also be great if you helped mention the specific location of where the trainer is (but you don't have to)!

[Chaos669]

I'd like to volunteer for this, sounds like a stellar idea.

[HD]

I would like to volunteer.

[Erodent]

Fantastic, thanks guys. We'll wait for a few more people :]

[mingot**]

I would strongly suggest that once this information is compiled that it actually go directly into the current EV training article, unless there is a good reason for it not to be like this. Once the list is done the new HTML can be edited into the current article that is onsite with little problem.

[RBG*]

DP Atk: Fishing in the lake in Twinleaf has Gyarados and Seaking, both which give 2 Atk EVs

DP SpA: Surfing in the lake in the Resort area gets you only Golduck, which give 2 SpA EVs
Also: House in Eterna Forest (Old Chateou I think...) has Gastly only with 1 SpA EV for lower level pokemon to train

DP Def: Ruin Maniac Cave has both Geodude and Hippoptas, which are each 1 Def EV (note: Geodude know selfdestruct, and if that KOs you, you dont get the experience or EVs)

[Serv]

DP HP: 5 Bidoof Rancher Girl from Route 209.

DP Spe: 6 Magikarp Fisherman from Route 205.

DP SpA: 3 Roselia Collector from Route 214.

Some interesting trainers off the top of my head. Thanks ^^.

[Wild Eep*]

DPPt SpA: Old Chateau has all those Gastlies (and Haunters and Gengars w/ a GBA cartridge).

Leading with the Pokemon you want to train and then switching to a Magic Guard Clefairy to finish the job can ensure flawless victory (Clefairy is immune to Lick and Night Shade, Spite does nothing on the switch in, being trapped by Mean Look is irrelevant when you're just going to defeat it, and Magic Guard blocks Curse damage.)

[Erodent]

mingot - Since we're doing DPP hotspots, the name of the current EVing Article will have to change. But I think we can do that.

Everyone else, thank you. Keep the contributions coming (I'll update the list in a while!)

[Grove]

Here's a few of the trainers I've been using in Platinum. This is assuming you have the corresponding power item and PKRS.

Plat Speed:
Trainer - Fisherman Andrew is back with his 6 Magikarp on Rt 205, just west of Eterna City. They range from lvl 8 to 16 I believe, so really anything can beat him. This will lead to a quick and easy 60 Speed EVs per battle, who you can keep refighting over and over and over...

Trainer - Roaming Pokécenter Battle, Pokékid Ariel. This one also nets a total of 60 Speed EVs. She changes locations based on what day it is, but she has 3 Pokémon. 1 Pichu, 1 Pikachu, and 1 Raichu. Nothing hard, they're around lvl 48 or 50.

Trainer - Ninja Boy Zach is found on Rt 211, east of Eterna City, in the grass above the bridge before Mt.Coronet. He requires a few battles, but he'll eventually have a lvl 50ish Golbat and 2 lvl 50ish Crobats. This guy offers 50 Speed EVs as well as some decent EXP.

Plat HP:
Trainers - Once a day you can take the 5 maid challenge, each maid has 1 Clefairy ranging from I believe lvl 22 - 27, inside the Trophy Garden Mansion, down the left hallway. If you succeed in beating them within the turn limit, you get to fight a Blissey. These ladies can net you a total of 74 HP EVs, or 60 if you didn't get the Blissey, a day.

Trainer - Another spot is the daily pokécenter battles, which changes everyday. The roaming Idol has 5 Clefairy as well, but they're around lvl 48. This will also earn you another 60 HP EVs a day.



I haven't found a good trainer "hotspot" for the other stats yet. I usually just fight wild Pokémon. ** These values are noted without PKRS and the corresponding power item. **

Plat Sp.Atk:
Pokémon - Old Chateau. The place is full of nothing but Gastly, with the occasional Gengar if you have a GBA game interested. Gastly are worth 1 SpA EV while Gengar are worth 3.

Plat Sp.D:
Pokémon - Surf away! Surfing just about anywhere works. Tentacool and Tentacruel are everywhere, and they're worth 1 and 2 EVs respectively.

Plat Defense:
Pokémon - Oreburgh Mine. Low lvl Geodude and Onix are all over the place here, both are worth 1 EV.

Plat Attack:
Pokémon - You can either fight Shix on Rt 203 or 202 for 1 EV, Machop on Rt 205 for another 1 EV, or Machoke by the Fight Area by the Battle Tower for 2 EVs.

Hope this can be of help! =)

[Erodent]

Excellent! Thank you Groved, this will surely help!

I am focusing on trainers and have found some interesting ones:

1. Collector Jamal (Route 214) - Buizel x3
2. Collector Brady (Route 214) - Ponyta x3
3. PI Carlos (Route 214) - Goldeen x3

[Gahagan]

Iron Island is a great place to train for defense. Wild Graveler(2), Onix(1), and Steelix(2) all give superb defense IVs (a strong ghost type and an exp. share is good for dealing with the rampant selfdestructs).

The Trophy Garden is great for speed, with wild Staravia (2), Pikachu (2), and Pichu(1), and only the somewhat-common Roselia to get in the way. Special attacks would be preferred over physical here so that Static doesn't get too annoying.

I'll post more as I encounter them.

[MegaMewtwo]

I'd like to bring Serebii's Pokearth to your attention. Particularly the fact that it lists all the trainers and their teams, as well as their improved teams for the ones that level up in rematches.

I'd like to help but I seriously doubt I can contribute much since everyone else is already on top of things. One thing I'd like to mention though is that PI Carlos's Goldeens all evolve, so he ends up with three Seakings. Sadly, that's in D/P. He only has one Goldeen/Seaking in Platinum.

And Gahagan, it only doesn't work at Lv100. Any other level it does work.

[Erodent]

It would certainly be interesting if we could create something similar to Pokearth than a plain old table, but I unfortunately lack any knowledge to make such things. I might steal some pictures though...we'll have to see. About PI Carlos, noted.

On the topic of Carlos, you say

They all evolve into Seakings eventually though...

like it's a bad thing. Seaking gives 2 Attack EVs, I fail to see the downside.

[Erodent]

This is a draft. Descriptions don't really matter yet...like I said, I'll make it more sophisticated once we have gathered enough information (which looks like soon enough). Anyway I'm going to stop posting because I have posted around 15 times today >.<

[A2ZOMG]

For Spdef:

Pokeradar Mr. Mime on route 218.

Pokeradaring in general is the best way to train this stat efficiently. You can also Pokeradar Togepi on route 230.

[Gahagan]

Quoted from MegaMewtwo in the Simple Question/Simple Answer thread in the WiFi section, regarding the Box Trick for EVs.

Sadly, your quote is incorrect. No experience also means no EVs. No EVs means no EV training. So if something's at Lv100 and not EVed right it's screwed.

Edit : I will confirm this either way independently for you tomorrow, as now I'm curious as well. But it's like, 3am. I need sleep.

[A2ZOMG]

I am fairly certain that you can gain EVs at level 100. Or at the very least, you can change stats with those statup/down items.

[Chaos669]

I WILL FORMAT THIS WHEN MORE INFORMATION IS GATHERED

I have found most, if not all the useful trainers in Platinum and D/P used for EV training.

I removed Mixed EVing by request.

1st+ Battle: Haunter 43|Gardevoir 46|Gengar 46

You can't rematch this guy, the Vs Seeker doesn't work in caves.

[Chaos669]

Okay, thanks for that. I'll just replace him with another one I know of ;).

[RBG*]

Just noting that at the battle ground you can fight some trainers in the Cafe and some are very helpful, most have more EVs then just one group, but there is (at least) 1 without only one type of EV

Cheryl (from Eterna Forest): 11 HP Evs

Mira (Wayward Cave): 14 SpA Evs, 1 SpD Ev

[Jimbo]

(Trainer) - Fisherman Andrew [Route 205]: Magikarp x6 (6 HP): Similar to DP, Fisherman Andrew is found west of Eterna City, on the bridge. He faces east and has six Magikarp with him. Handy!

I assume the bolded is supposed to be 6 Spe? Unless I'm misunderstanding what goes in the parenthesis.

[Flamestrike]

The first basement level in Victory Road (not the one you unlock after getting the National Dex) is a great place to get speed EVs. In Diamond and Pearl, surfing finds only Golbat (2 speed EVs), while in Platinum you find mostly Floatzel with some Golbat (all 2 speed EVs). Hopefully this helps, if I find any others I'll post again.

EDIT: Cyclist John on Cycling Road (surprise, surprise) has two Starlys which eventually evolve (after a few rematches) into two Staraptors (both lvl 54) that give 3 attack EVs each in Diamond and Pearl. In Platinum he still gives 6 EVs in all, but instead after getting two Staraptors (both lvl 43), he gets a Staraptor (lvl 59), Dodrio (lvl 58; gives 2 attack EVs), and a Farfetch'd (lvl 57; gives 1 attack EV). Not too bad for attack if you want to rematch him a few times first.

EDIT 2: Battle Girl Helen on Route 207 starts with a Machop and Meditite (1 attack and 1 speed), which eventually becomes a Machamp and Medicham after rematching for a while (3 attack, 2 speed) in Diamond and Pearl. Same in Platinum, except higher levels at the end (both lvl 60 instead of lvl 58). Good for training two stats at the same time.

EDIT 3: In Diamond and Pearl, Rancher Marco on Route 210 starts with an Aipom (1 speed), a Psyduck (1 special attack), and a Girafarig (2 special attack. Eventually his Aipom and Psyduck evolve, so he gives 2 speed and 4 special attack in all after you rematch him enough. Unfortunately his team completely changes in Platinum. He's in the south part of the route.

EDIT 4: In Platinum, Bird Keeper Brianna on Route 210 (north part) starts with a Hoothoot and a Noctowl (3 HP EVs) and ends up with two Noctowl and a Skarmory (4 HP and 2 Defense). In Diamond and Pearl, she only gets the Noctowl, so she doens't give Defense EVs. Done for now. :)
