    Default EV questions and about rayquaza

    I`m going to train my rayquaza and I wanted to make sure I give him the best training so here are some things I`ve been wondering about:

    -Does the level of the pokemon you fight or how fast you reach the next level matter in EV-training?

    -If I wanted to get 255 points in Sp.Att. and 255 in hp should I first fight 255 spindas and than 255 whismurs or can I let`s say fight a whismur than a spinda than again a whismur etc. till I reach 510 points?

    -Does depositing or healing during EV training do anything bad to the stat points I get?

    -Is it true that youget 1 stat point for every 4 ev points you got?
    This would mean my rayquaza should get +63 points in Sp, Att. and in hp?

    Also what evs would you recommend? I thought about 255hp and 255 sp. att. is this any good?

    Thanks in advance for all your help!

    Default EV questions and about rayquaza

    -Does the level of the pokemon you fight or how fast you reach the next level matter in EV-training?

    No. EVs are completely and utterly separate from XP.

    -If I wanted to get 255 points in Sp.Att. and 255 in hp should I first fight 255 spindas and than 255 whismurs or can I let`s say fight a whismur than a spinda than again a whismur etc. till I reach 510 points?

    Since 255 is the maximum you can get in a single EV, you can beat up Spinda and Whismur in any order you please. Once you reach 255 in an EV, defeating more of that pokémon has no effect whatsoever on your EVs.

    -Does depositing or healing during EV training do anything bad to the stat points I get?

    No. In fact, depositing might be a good thing, because it forces the game to recalculate the pokémon's stats then and there. You can see what effect your training thus far has had on your pokémon's stats.

    -Is it true that youget 1 stat point for every 4 ev points you got? This would mean my rayquaza should get +63 points in Sp, Att. and in hp?

    Only at level 100. It's a percentage thing.

    Also what evs would you recommend? I thought about 255hp and 255 sp. att. is this any good?

    As far as Special Attack, it depends on your moveset. Certainly feel free to boost special attack if you plan on teaching Rayquaza mostly special attacks. If you're shooting for level 100, though, you might not want to go for the full 255. After all, as noted earlier, at level 100 4 EP = 1 stat point, and it doesn't round up. So you get 63 stat points, and 3 wasted EP. It's common to put only 252-3 in your two maxed stats and put the leftovers in a third stat to get one more point out of your EVs.

    Thanks for clearing those things up, but does this mean I`ll only see the extra stat points after depositing or at lv 100? So when I lreach a new level won`t I see something like hp+63? You know when you see how much your points went up at each level up.
    Also when should I deposit him? After or before leveling up?

    Stats are recalculated when a pokémon levels up, when it's withdrawn from the PC, or at other times I can't recall. You'll see the difference whenever you level up, and depositing and withdrawing will let you see it between level-ups, too.
    I must suggest you ignore the HP +# screen, though. It only displays the bonus from the level-up, not from anything else you did since the last level-up. It's been called both worthless and misleading because of that.

    One more question, does it matter if I use vitamins or is ev-training and the result better without them?

    Vitamins are actually part of EV training. Each vitamin adds 10 EP to a stat. However, they can't boost an EV past 100.

    Yes but should I give rayquaza vitamins and than train for the rest of the ev-points or should I fight for 510 ev points or are the two ways the same?

    The same. It makes no difference how your pokemon has gotten EV points. Either through vitamins or training.
    Feeding vitamins just shortens the training time. If you have enough money you can buy all the vitamins you need. Just buy 10 Carbos for Speed EVs and 10 Calciums for SpAtt EVs, feed them to your Rayquaza and it starts with 100 EV points for each stat.
