PuddlesPuddles
04.08.14 | you haven't seen my raichu use agility, you'll be sorry |
FearTomorrow
04.08.14 | ok, in that case, I'd like to revise my team a bit: replace Mighteyena with Tyranitar and add Hydriegon to the end if that's alright. |
ArsMoriendi

Remaining types to choose from: Grass, Water, Flying, Fighting, Rock, Ground, Ghost. |

my internet is pretty shoddy here but usually it at least kind of works. |

if ya want, I can get ya a bunch of high IV breedable pokes. |
Phlegm
04.09.14 | ok what the fuck |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | hmm? :] |
FearTomorrow
04.09.14 | yea i dont get that iv/ev crap at all lol
Pls help |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | it's pretty simple actually. the stat formula for a pokemon at any given time is:
stat = (5+((Base Stat*2 + + EV/4 + IV )*Level/100)*Nature
Base Stat = a predetermined stat that is the same for all pokemon. i.e. all charizards have a base speed of 100. when a pokemon is "strong" or "fast", this is what we're all referring to. go to any pokemon site find these, they're easy to understand.
EV = effort value (ranging from 0 to 252, effectively 0 to 63 for a single stat, only 508-510 can be obtained). every single time you defeat a pokemon, you get effort values. the EV corresponds with the pokemon's highest stat(s), and evolutionary line i.e. rattata = 1 speed EV, gengar = 3 sp.atk EV, etc. in your quest to beat the game, EVs are not necessary to work with at all, but can make an extremely significant effect in competitive battling. because you can only have 508 or 510 EVs in total, this means that you can only "max out" 2 stats, and boost one more by 4. the two stats maxed are what should be most important stats to that pokemon i.e. charizard and gengar want to max out sp. atk and speed, ferrothorn wants to max out either hp and def or hp and sp. def.
*also note that exp share means that every pokemon in your party will gain the same EVs.
IV = individual value (ranges from 0 to 31). every single time you encounter a pokemon, or hatch one, the pokemon's IVs are set and set for eternity. Breeding is required to make sure pokemon get "maxed IVs", which is 31. the ideal is to get 31 for every stat but one (very unlikely to get all 6 stats maxed). but 3-4 maxed IVs are sufficient competitively anyways.
Level = level. self-explanatory. because it's a multiplier, it matters not when a pokemon is EV trained, just that they are.
Nature, when a pokemon is found/hatched, they come with a predetermined nature. natures can change a pokemon's stat by either 1.1* or 0.9*. in order for one stat to raise, another must lower. however, there are many neutral natures, meaning every stat is 1.0*. |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | *natures can be passed down to children at a 100% success rate by giving the parent an everstone. this is why in the beginning of X and Y, people were scrambling to find ditto safaris -> to find a ditto of every useful nature. and b/c all safari pokemon come with 2 maxed IVs. |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | so if we apply this. here's how a gengar with maxed sp atk IVs and EVs, and modest nature at level 50 would look.
stat = (5+((130*2 + 252/4 + 31)*50/100))*1.1 = 200
say that he did not have any of those, they were all minimum, including having an inhibiting nature such as impish or adamant.
stat = (5+((130*2 + 0 / 4 + 0)*50/100))*0.9 = 121
121/200 = 60.5 %
in conclusion, these things can have an extremely significant effect on your pokemon's ability to battle. we can also gather that gengar is a fucking boss. 200 fucking sp atk level 50, dayum. |
fallenbird
04.09.14 | Welcome to the Cygnatti class on Pokemon training and breeding. |
FearTomorrow
04.09.14 | holy wowza, thanks Cyg time to digest that wall of info |
fallenbird
04.09.14 | But you should fight me Cygnatti, I want to fight someone who knows what they're doing. |
Funeralopolis
04.09.14 | Stats do make a huge difference which is why smogon is such a great place to battle if you guys have seen it. It has an online simulator where you create pokemon teams and can fight other people in tiers, so a Beedrill will never have to fight a Gengar. The imbalance thing has always really annoyed me about pokemon which is why in the game I'm working on I've spent many hours redoing move pools and stats to make the game more balanced. |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | It looks a lot more complicated than it is.
Also I tend to only use UU to NU Pokemon. :/ |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | Demi, I'll give you a freebie.
Name one of your favorite Pokemon, and I'll get you a competitive version; bred, trained, and natured. ;]
You have to specify what move set you want because the stats MUST reflect the move set AND ability. |
ConorIsNotHere
04.09.14 | I have always tried to get into competitive battling, but EV training & trying to get good IVs has always disheartened me |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | it's much much easier now than it has ever been, guys. trust me.
again, if anyone needs help raising their pokemon, I can help! I def have time to do that shit now that I've finished raising all the pokemon I kinda ever need. :x |

ArsMoriendi
04.09.14 | I'm probably not getting the Wii U version, since I don't have a Wii U. The 3DS version is good enough for me. |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | defffffffffffffffffffffffff getting the 3ds version. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.09.14 | i dont have a 3ds or a u but id be MUCH more likely to get a U because i don't know anyone who has a 3ds and who the fuck wants to play super smash by themselves
at least with a U i could play with my friends |
Relinquished
04.09.14 | with this game u might just see 3ds's more often |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.09.14 | i doubt it. i can't think of a single friend of mine who is a gamer type at all.
and i mean if i got a 3ds i could play online with random competitive people and have my ass kicked all over the place but thats not whats fun about super smash for me
i like it cuz i can casually play with my homies even tho none of us are gamers and we can get shit faced and shit talk each other |
Cygnatti
04.09.14 | they have that online function called "for fun" where you play on random stages with random items. I think it's on both versions. but ofc it can't beat shit talking your friends. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.10.14 | yeah i really only care about playing with my friends |
Cygnatti
04.10.14 | def understandable. only reason why I wanna get that sony all stars game. :x |
