IV Breed Pokémon and EV Train

This article will teach you how to breed Pokémon with great IVs and how to EV train Pokémon.

Steps

Breeding Pokémon

  1. Select the Pokémon you want to breed from a Pokémon Center PC.
  2. Get a Ditto to breed, unless you have a male and female of the Pokémon you chose.
  3. Take the Pokémon you want to the Day Care Center on Route 3, and put the Pokémon in it.
    • If possible, get a Pokémon with the ability Flame Body, like Volcarona.
  4. Deposit all Pokémon except the Pokémon with Flame Body.
  5. Run around for about 500 steps until the man gives you an egg. Repeat until you have 5 eggs in your party.
  6. Once you have hatched all eggs, take them to Nimbasa City and go into the Battle Subway.
  7. When you first walk in, there will be a guy with blue hair. Talk to him. He will ask to judge your Pokémon. Say yes.
    • He will judge all 5 eggs and tell you that they either have decent, above average, or outstanding. Your goal is to get outstanding.
    • Let's say you get a 2 Pokémon with an above average attack stat and they are opposite gender. You will want to take those two Pokémon back to the Day Care and switch them out. Deposit all Pokémon with decent potential. Keep them, though; they will come in handy later when picking another stat.
    • Once you put the two above average potential Pokémon in the Day Care, run around until you get an egg. Repeat until your party is full and once again, go back to Nimbasa City and go to the Battle Subway.
    • Let's say this time you get a male with a superior attack stat. Go back and swap out the male with the new one and deposit the rest of the babies.
  8. Repeat until you get 5 eggs again, then take them to get potential checked.
    • Let's say this time they are all decent and above average except for the female with a superior attack stat. If you don't, repeat until you get the gender with superior stat. Take the female and the male out of the Day Care and give them both a Power Bracer. This will increase the chance of getting a Pokémon with outstanding attack.
  9. Run around to get 5 more eggs and take them back to the Battle Subway. You will most likely get an outstanding Pokémon in the attack stat.
  10. Put this baby Pokémon in a separate box so you don't lose track.
  11. Repeat the process, but with a different stat.
  12. We'll say defense. Go back to all your babies and get them potential checked until you have a male in female with a potential for defense.
  13. Breed them like before until you have an outstanding defense.
  14. Take that Pokémon with outstanding defense, give it Power Band, and the one with outstanding attack a Power Bracer.
  15. Go back to the Day Care and put them in, but make sure they are opposite genders.
  16. Breed them until you have a Pokémon with outstanding attack and defense.

EV Training

  1. Go to the shopping mall by Opelucid city and buy 10 Protein and 10 Iron. Give the baby a Power Bracer and 10 Protein.
  2. Go to Route 1 and fight 30 Patrat and Lillipup. Take off the Power Bracer and fight two more.
  3. Give your Pokémon a Power Band and the 10 irons.
  4. Go to Wellspring Cave and fight 30 Roggenrola.
  5. Take off the Power Band and fight two more.
  6. To see if you did it right, go to Opelucid city. Behind the Pokémon Center, there will be a house.
  7. Go in and talk to the girl in the house. She will tell you if your Pokémon needs more effort and if you did it wrong, or she will tell you that your Pokémon put in great effort, which means you did it right.
