I don't even know if it would be possible in this game but I just thought it would be kinda funny if you could. Anyone know if enemies actually give out EV points in this game or XD even?

[Commander Wymsy]

Yes, I'm pretty sure they give EVs. Though they wouldn't be the best games to EV train in I'd imagine.

[Lord Raven]

XD is actually the best game to EV train in for the advanced generation. Credits to my friend for compiling the following info a year ago(and for anyone that goes to my homeboard, yes this is on the site);

CODE

After Phenac means you need to have driven Cipher out of Phenac City, but before beating Greevil. The trainers in Pyrite Town can be rechallenged by going in and out any building. In other locations you may need to exit to the map screen and come back.

After Greevil, surprisingly enough, means after beating Greevil, at which point the Pokémon will be at level 50.

If the trainer has a Shadow Pokémon, it is assumed that it has already been snagged and the trainer has their replacement Pokémon.

The Macho Brace is available after beating the first 10 trainers in Mt. Battle so you can double the EVs gained for one Pokémon. It is possible to save time by EV training up to three Pokémon at once, two at the front of the party and one holding the Exp. Share. The special instructions for certain locations assumes that the Pokémon to be trained is not holding the Exp. Share.

In the following areas it's best to train using one or more Exp. Shares. These areas are great if you want to level up fast while EV training:

1st trainer: 5 Speed EVs
2nd trainer: 6 Speed EVs
3rd trainer: 8 Speed EVs
4th trainer: 10 Speed EVs
5th trainer: 12 Speed EVs
6th trainer: 5 Sp. Atk EVs
7th trainer: 9 Sp. Atk EVs
8th trainer: 7 Sp. Atk EVs
9th trainer: 8 Sp. Atk EVs
10th trainer: 13 Sp. Atk EVs

Mt. Battle Area 8 - level 62+ Pokémon

1st trainer: 6 Sp. Def EVs
2nd trainer: 5 Sp. Def EVs
3rd trainer: 9 Sp. Def EVs

8th trainer: 9 Attack EVs
9th trainer: 10 Attack EVs

As for Colosseum, I tried to figure out a good EV training thing but no luck. I have yet to try the "Elite Four" of Colo, but I doubt that'd be any bit useful since you can't switch Pokemon midway through like you could in the other elite fours.

And for those that are still gonna check- yes, it works. I've done it before loads of times.

[Swordsalmon]

I think it's fine to post, as it's not passed 14 days yet.

Actually, Colloseum is an excellent place to Special Defense train. In that area with Mirror B, there are tons of trainers with Lotads and Lombre, which bestow one and two points of Special Defense respectively. Especially considering that Special Defense EVs are hard to get, Colloseum is quite a boon. I can't say anything bout' the other stats for EV training, though.

[Jason]

Hm, it seems like you could.

But it wouldn't be very useful, now would it?

Even if it's good for Sp. Def, it'd be a waste of time to trade the pokemon over.

[Swordsalmon]

I would have to disagree. Colloseum has a bunch of high-leveled teams, and trading Poke'mon in gives them boosted EXP. So equip them with the Macho Braces, and you can double efficiency for Special Defence training while gaining great level-ups.

[Lord Raven]

It still doesn't matter when the only thing RSE's useful for anymore is getting Tutor moves, seeing as the new EV system is a million times more effective in DP.
