This is an odd question, but im going to try anyways.
So, im currently playing gen 2 and im building a team for LC, i try to find pokes with maximum stats in certain key stats, speed in this case.
Now, i guess there are some cheat codes for this, but i find them a bit complicated to understand, and besides, i like to do things somewhat legit.
Here is the thing, while i might find level 5 Abra and Digletts with the maximum speed DV, i always end up short after calcium boosts
For example, i have found Digletts with 16 a bunch of times now, i can never get the speed up to 19, it always ends up with 18.
Im pretty sure im at attempt 30 or something with Diglett(16), is it just insanely hard to max out a stat, or is something different with maxing out stats for a level 5 pokemon?
So, are the Smogon LC lists wrong, and Abra actually max out at 17 speed, and Diglett at 18? Do i need to do something extra to truly Max out stat experience at this level, besides 10 vitamins?
I haven't tested, but i suspect i would end up with 1 point less in any given stat as well, despite the initial DV.
