Yea soy..you failed =(

Rich boy west of sunnyshore city
Old couple south of Hearthome City (Gives more than rich boy but you need to battle them more for max amount)
 
Also there's a Gentleman and Socialite next to each other on Route 212 who pay a good amount.

Okay, I have a problem. I screwed up while EVing my Heracross. I don't know how, I used trainer EV battles and kept track of all the EVs I got, yet when I went to Sunnyshore to get my Effort Ribbon and confirm that my EVs were used up, she still said I needed some work. I must have made some error with calculations or tallys or something. (I did get the leftover 2 EVs, so it wasn't that).

The EVs I were aiming for were 42 HP/ 252 Atk/ 216 Spd. I'm certain the HP is correct, so the Attack and Speed must be slightly off. So how can I fix this? Can I clear as many Speed EVs as possible, then gain Atk EVs until I know I've maxed out at 252? Then just refill on Speed with what I have left?

Thanks for the info on the couple!

Safest would be to use a Tamato berry to lower Speed and a Kelpsy berry to lower Atk, and go from there, since both EV's will be reduced to 100.

I would try to remember where you made a mistake, then find out how many EVs you're missing and where. Make a list of all the pokes you've battled and add up the EV.

If you know the IVs of your poke, ge to serebii and use their calculator, guess and check to find out the EV of your pokes. If its too low lvled, ask for an IV battle.

If all of the above fails..do what Vyre said and use 1 of each berry.
 
Under Trick Room, does a poke with Lagging Tail move first, or last?

I guess the core of my question is, how does Lagging Tail work? Does it reduce Speed to 0, or does it alter the turn order in a direct way?

Thanks. Wait, if I use one Tamato and one Kelpsy, both EVs will be reduced to 100? I thought they worked like reverse vitamins. But I do think I remember reading somewhere that they function differently. Can anyone explain to me exactly how these work?
 
If you have over 100 EVs in a stat and you use the corresponding berry to lower it, the first one will drop it to 100. IE; if you have 236 EVs in attack, and you use a kelpsy berry, it will fall to 100. Subsequent uses of the berry will lower by 10 each (100 to 90 to 80, etc).

Thank you, that's exactly what I was asking for.

Lagging Tail gives you negative priority, it does not lower your actual speed stat (such as say, the Power items do). So in a Trick Room, a Pokemon holding the Lagging Tail will still go last. Unless the other Pokemon is also holding a Lagging Tail, or is using a move with even lower priority, that is.
 
name: Anti-Setup
move 1: Thunder Wave / Body Slam
move 2: Seismic Toss / Air Slash
move 3: Encore
move 4: Wish / Roost / Softboiled
ability: Serene Grace
nature: Calm
item: Leftovers

What is a good ev spread for this set?
 
Will this negatively affect my game in any way?
No. The reason that the cloning clitches in the previous games were dangerous is because they involved turning off the game while it was saving. This one doesn't require you to do that, so there is virtually no chance of any bad effects.

Read that from: http://www.freewebs.com/hotdogturtle/clone.htm

Is it true that there are no negative effects from Emerald cloning? (Need to be 100% sure, don't want to risk losing my good Pokes. >_>)

I've been cloning on emerald for aroud a year now, and i'm yet to notice any negative effects.

if done correctly, as far as I can tell there are no negative effects.

The only time anyone moans about it is when they move something after saving, and the game deletes it.
 
can you still EV train a lvl.100 poke? i remember the box trick where you could reduce the evs with berries, ev train, then place in a box to recalculate the stats. does this still work in this gen?
