Question about Vitamins and Macho Brace

[Russian666]

If i use vitamins at lvl 5 on my pichu, hook on a sooth bell and evolve it at level 6 into a pickachu then again into a raichu and then i attach a macho brace and make it fight on its own how long will it take for it to max out all its stats?

[Gligar_Man]

94 lvls...

[Russian666]

so id have to keep on the macho brace till 94?

...

i think id better invest in double team...

[Gligar_Man]

i was just saying it would take you til lvl 100 to get raichus maximum stats... as in you dont see a lvl 10 raichu w/300-something hp and etc. wich is its max... -_-

[Russian666]

i mean how long would it take till i dont have to use the macho brace anymore?

[:: One ::]

How long would it take till you don't have a need for macho brace anymore? Well, how many vitamins did you take?

[Russian666]

im gonna stack on 10 of each + 10 hp up

Macho brace/vitamins effect effort points. The combination should leave you with your max of 510 effort points around lvl 40 but your stats won't get as high as they can till 100.

[:: One ::]

well that won't work because there are 6 stats (HP, ATK, DEF, SP. ATK, SP. DEF, SPD) and 10 of each would create 600 Effort Points.

You'd only be able to use 51 vitamins total, and no more than 10 of each vitamin.

It really depends on when you can take the macho brace off. If you max out your Effort Points by giving 51 vitamins, you won't ever need to wear it. It's generally not a good idea to spread out your effort points like that by giving 10 vitamins to each stat.

[Russian666]

well... i found my shiny pichu and have evolved is into a raichu at lvl 6 and before all that i gave it the vitamins although i have not saved yet... so... what SHould i do rather than vitamins

[OffKilter B]

max out the stats you need to use most for raichu. like HP and defense and sp attack. then use the macho brace to even everything else out.

where can one obtain this magical stat increasing macho brace?

You get the macho brace after you beat the Winstrate family above Mauville City. Talk to the old lady.

Assuming that you want to max out Raichu's special attack and HP stats:

10*HP ups = 100 stat exp

With macho brace attached: battle 78 whismur in Rusturf Tunnel.

10*Calciums = 100 stat exp

With macho brace attached: battle Magnemite/Magneton in the power plant. You should need 77 battles (if you encounter only 1 Magneton).

After that, Raichu's HP and special attack will be maxed out. You will have no stat exp left to raise any of the other stats.

what about using exp share i read that you dont get effort points if you use it level your poke... anyhow, i just wanted to say those of you out thre if you are looking for a shiny pichu, youve got to be vey careful they nearly look exactly the same...imagine how mad i was when i found out that the third pichu that hatched out of 100 was the shiny one... anyhow thats all for now

Thanks
