Power Band: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Sp.Power Anklet: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Speed stat to grow.All of these can be found in the Battle Tree for Battle Points: In addition to the following items that you can use to gain specific EVs in each battle on top of the ones you would already get from that battle. You can also use supplements to give your Pokemon certain EVs: Use items to speed things up- you can give your Pokemon the Macho Brace, which doubles the EVs that it gets. Special Attack: Hau’oli Cemetary (Gastly, only at night).Attack: Route 1 (Yungoose during the day, Spinarak during the night).Below is a list of the ideal routes that you can go train your Pokemon in for specific EVs: Use Adrenaline Orbs to induce SOS battles. Not only this, but Pokemon called upon in an SOS battle yield double EVs– so SOS battles can be a very fast way of EV training. Take advantage of SOS battles- SOS battles can mean that you can fight chains of Pokemon that all yield the same, or similar EVs, meaning you don’t have to go about hunting for the same wild Pokemon over and over again. However, this method can take long, so we’re here to help you quicken things up. One way to do this is to simply fight the Pokemon that yield the EVs you want- you can find a list of what Pokemon yield what EV in Alola on Serebii. This means that by leveraging this mechanic, you can technically create Pokemon with dedicated roles on your team- you can have a Wall that specializes in high HP and defense, a sweeper with high Attack, a Tank with high HP and Attack, you can have a Pokemon with high Attack and Speed that always hits first, and so on. Receiving four points towards anyone of these stats leads to an additional +1 in that stat. Any Pokemon can receive a total of 510 points, and any one stat can receive a total of 252 EV points. You see, every Pokemon that you encounter in the wild gives you Effort Value (or EV) points towards one of your six stats- HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Instead, this time around, players must use new methods to EV train.īut first- what is EV training? EV training is what determines the stat growth of your Pokemon.
Pokemon Sun/Moon have removed Super Training and Horde Battles, which were both the preferred methods to EV Train in Pokemon X/Y and OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire.

So let’s get started, without further ado. That’s where we come in- from EV training to Hyper Training, from breeding to transferring your older Pokemon into the game, from a description of all new abilities and all new items to a guide to using QR codes, from the locations of all Legendary Pokemon the game to the location of all Zygarde cells, we cover everything. There’s simply so much to do in Pokemon Sun/Moon that trying to keep track of it all can be overwhelming. Unlike Pokemon X/Y, which took several steps back in terms of the content that they offered to the player, Sun/Moon go overboard with the sheer amount of things available for the player to do, both, during the story of the game, and beyond, in the post game.
Pokemon Sun/Moon are now out, and they are massive games.
