I noticed that a great many of the guides on the website, specifically the more mathematical ones, such as finding DV's and EV's and Hidden Powers, require your pokemon to be at level 100 for comparison purposes. They say to catch a wild pokemon, then rare-candy it up to level 100, to find out it's DVs. Now my question is, where do you get all those rare candies in FR/LG? The missingno glitch is gone...

Training my pokemon up to level 100 is going to take forever from just fighting the Elite Four over and over... already I've hit 200+ hours of gameplay, and this prevents me from being able to customize my EVs :(.

Um. I think there are less than 10 rare candies. I doubt you're going to find 100 rare candies :P

I suggest you train your pokemon to level 100. It only takes a few hours, and its not really that hard. If you're too lazy to train it, then you probably don't want to see your pokemon's DVs that bad. :D

Or, you could get a team of one serious fighter and five Meowth. With PickUp, you'll get lots of stuff (including berries), and some RareCandies. Not many, and I'm inclined to agree with Krisp about just raising your pokemon. The only problem with that is that you mess up your stats with EVs then. Why do you want to know your DVs so bad?

I don't, but all these movesets and junk and like half this website is dedicated to being level 100 and having certain DVs and EVs, so I'm just curious as to how all these people know this stuff and are able to pump their Pokemon up to level 100 on rare candies if there is only less than 10 in the game.


And how the on earth do you get a pokemon to level 100 in only "a few hours"? At my current rate, it's going to take me about 50 more hours of gameplay to get my team of 6 pokemon to level 100 (I already have 2 hours of gameplay, from the beginning).

Two hours of gameplay is, of course, rather insufficient. It's not even enough to complete the Elite Four. To get your Pokemon to level 100 obviously should take effort, so I'm not sure where you heard that "a few hours" thing from. Personally, I'm not willing to train so much just to know the DVs of my Pokemon, if I train my Pokemon, it's for fun and satisfaction. In short, if you want level 100 Pokemon, you have to understand that long hours spent on training is crucial, so deal with it.

Good luck :wink:

My friend, who played on his game for about 30 hours, used Zigzagoons and got about 25 Rare Candies in Addition to the 10 in the game. He was REALLY lucky.

Train on the sevi islands? Jeez, its not that hard. Its alot faster than running around trying to pick up 600 rare candies to get your six pokemon to level 100. I got my Snorlax to level 100 in about 3 hours, maybe less.

To answer what I sense is your real question from this, people don't. Those movesets are mostly for use on Netbattle, where you CAN pretty much just select your EVs and DVs. In game, very few people even care about DVs and EVs; At least, I know I don't; the highest opponent I'll ever face (Trainer Tower excluded) is 75 (your rivals starter on your 2nd time through the E4), so my Level 100s will do just fine regardless of those numbers.

Edit: and, the other solution is to EV train your pokemon until they can't get any more, and then just level them up to 100, and you can subtract your EVs to find the stats without EVs, and use that to find the DVs

Edit 2: *thinks... Yeah, your rivals starter is at 75, not 85.

I disagree. The in-game trainers are utter ape sh*t. I use DV and EV values for competitive local tournaments. So far I haven't lost any. Hidden Power burns. -How did I find out the value of my Hidden Power? DVs.

I owe my entire poke career to this website. I am still recognised as the best at pokemon in my school and locally. If it weren't for this website and telling me about DVs and EVs I would still be a "HAIPER BEAM!!!" person.

Think it over. Oh, and by the way, it's Level 75, not 85.

I don't know about anyone else but I've gotten 6 from Lady Selphy at the Resort Gorgeous on Five Island. I noticed that it's always after I can show her about five pokemon in a row successfully without taking too long or, when she repeats one. The only reason I noticed this is because I was using the two ladies outside of her house and an amulet coin to build up enough money so I could buy 9999 coins so I could get porygon. TMI I kno

Hmmm, that's pretty cool. I didn't know that, don't know about anyone else. I got bored after 2 or 3 times with her, I thought she only gave out luxury balls.

If you are very desperate, cheat, get the stupid cheat pack and do the infinity item trick, its lame and stupid but it works.

But i'd recommend staying in Victgory Road for multiple hours with a pokemon fighting over and over again.

But not many people have that amount of time to waste to get their Pokemon to LvL 100.

Dittoing on the Victory Road. Unless you use Gameshark or whatnot, it's pretty much impossible to get 100+ rare candies without spending days worth of time hoping your pokemon with use Pick Up to snag you a rare candy. In the time for that to happen, you could have your entire team to level 100 no problem.

In short, train or use a gameshark if you're lazy/impatient. ;)

You got to be joking, In my pokemon Blue GBC I played more than 120 hours of gameplay on the same saved file and I was only training 3 pokemon in my whole pokemon journey which were only {venusaur} , {pidgeot} and {seaking}.

And now this is my pokemon team:

1. {venusaur} Lv.97
2. {pidgeot} Lv.60 something
3. {seaking} Lv.50 something

Well, its harder to train pokemon in Blue than it is in LG. You have the Vs. Seeker, which makes training 34902340923 times easier. Oh, and btw, I trained a Typhlosion last week. It took me a few days to EV train it, but after that, I transfered it to LG and trained it to level 100. It only took me a night to do that.

Tip to finding out DVs (requires netbattle :roll:): Get the pokemon you wish to find the DVs of (nature and egg moves if any prefered) the pokemon, make sure it has 0 EVs (good idea to try this on a pokemon that's newly hatched) and bring up the pokemon on NB, then just take all EVs away, make it level 5, change the nature accordingly and subtract DVs till it matches your pokemon's stats.
