I believe the pokémon you are trying to train will gain the EV's no matter who holds EXP Share. If so, then yes, another pokémon should hold it while the pokémon intended for EV training holds the appropriate "Power" item.
20 sp.atk EVs are enough to 2hko Skarmory and Hippowdon, and not every Heatran is scarfed, so unless you need more sp.atk to score some important ko's, I'd suggest to use the standard EV spread.
Sorry to ask again but...
Thanks for the advice earlier about the max happiness level...
... but I thought that was the "trick" to getting the move tutor to teach the elemental hyperbeams to a starter.
What is the trick to learning the elemental hyperbeams? What am I doing wrong? My Typhlosion has 2 big hearts?!?!
Thanks a Mil!

I am playing through platinum, and have hit a bit of a snag, that i can't remember how to get through.
i got to vellstone city, and went up to the gym(fighting one) and my rival comes out and talks forever(i stupidly didn't read it, and just pressed a through it thinking it wasn't really important) and now i have no clue what to do, when i enter the gym, i can't fight anyone, and the gym is like blocked off by weights and punching bags.
i went on to pastoria, or whatever it is, where the great marsh is, and can't challenge that gym leader either
so i'm kinda freaking out, because i don't remember this happening in d/p
i looked at my d/p strategy guide, and it says that i should just be able to challenge the fighting lady, then the water dude, then chase the grunt, get the kay and do the galactic thing, but right now i can't challenge the fighting lady,
can someone please help me? i am kinda freaking out as i can do pretty much nothing, and i have no platinum guide book.

oh nevermind, i didn't know u could punch those punching bags, lol
Well, that would be considered hacked but the problem with hacking is proving its hacked
If you was to use a AR to catch a flower paradise shaymin on a english pt/d/p game then yes, that would be a hack
Exactly what you do

Choose "get from friend" and then do this
3. Usin the japanese platinum, select "wonder cards" and then "send to friend"

Not completely useless
The 2 turn moves are worthless on wifi but their is 2 ways to use them without a downside
1. Use the "Shift" strategy in the game, you know, when your opponent sends out another poke and it says "Will so and so change pokemon?"
Sadly, you can't do this in wifi
2. Use them as a final attack in a match but to me, thats not really worth it
I suppose the 3rd 1 would be to combo it with hypnosis but thats also, not very tactical

I do like both ice punch but I think ice shard is better cause of so many dragons in the metagame
Can the L50 Heatran in Platinum be EV trained without levelling up above L50?
That's not relevant to his question. Besides, in 4v4 or 3v3 it could have uses as a finishing move.

Yes, but...
...not on Level 100 Pokemon. To gain EVs, you have to be gaining experience. Since Level 100 Pokemon can't gain any more experience, they can't get EVs from training; the box trick won't change it. The only EVs Level 100 Pokemon can get are the 100 in each stat from vitamins; beyond that, they can't get anything.
major bummer
Thats a major bummer, I sure wish that wasn't true
Although, I do have a event regigigas that has max atk so obviously, its hacked but it works just fine on the PBR wifi
Aern't non-legal pokes forbidden on the PBR wifi?

Thanks for the replies
Looks like Regigigas slips through. Probably alongside pokémon with full EVs but 0 experience for their catch level.
