Stat Exp. ? and IV's

[Dragon Tamer Connor]

I remember hearing somewhere that this was supposed to be like the G/S/C form of EV's. Is this true? How does it work?

EDIT: Since I don't want to make to question threads in a row, does anyone know how to calculate IV's in G/S/C? Thanks in advance.

Yep, this is true. In RBYGSC, instead of having 510 EVs to play with, you can max out every single stat if you wanted to. Each pokemon you battle will give a certain number of Stat exp into each of your mon's stats. Instead of having 255 stat exp in each stat as the max, you have 65025 stat EXP for each stat, iirc. The stat EXP you gain per stat is equal to the opponent's base stats. Eg: Fighting a mew will get you 100 for each stat. Stat advancement wise, it's approximately 1024 (I'm not certain on this number) per 1 point gain in that stat, unlike the 4 per point in RS.

Or something like that.

k, thanks. Do you also know about how to find out IV's in G/S/C?

What are IV's?

[mlugia]

There's many ways to find your IVs (Or DVs, same thing) in GSC. But this would be the easiest:

Save game

Catch pokemon

DONT TRAIN IT

Rare candy to level 50/100

Compare to mon's Max wild stats at that level (www.pokefor.tk 's pokedex). Note: This is only accurate from Lv 50 onwards, I think, so doing it at lv 30 might get you wacky results

At lv 50: Subtract 1 from 15 for each point the mon's stat is lower than its species max at Lv 50 (NOTE: using the WILD part.)
Lv 100: Subtract 1 from 15 for each 2 points... etc.

The number you get in the end should be your DV

eg: I have a mew with the following stats after I rare candied to Lv 50/100:

Lv 50:
HP/atk/def/spA/spD/speed
175/117/112/119/112/114

since the species max for a wild Mew at lv 50 is :
175
120
120
120
120
120

Then, subtracting, I get...
HP: 15
Atk: 12
Def: 7
spA: 14
spD: 7
speed: 9

Those would be the IV/DV of this mew (And in GSC, IV/DVs are 0-15, not 0-31)

Lv 100:

Same thing, but each IV would control 2 points, so Max wild mew is
340
235
235
235
235
235

Then if I have 338 for HP, I have 14 for HP DV, not 13.

Note: You can also do this at max training, but if you have SOME training but not all, then it's bloody impossible to find your DVs, unless of course you know exactly how many stat EXP your mon has in each stat.

mR. pAnDA MoD,
is it possible 2 max out ANY pokemon's stats? i read so many things about breeding stats and "max-gene pokemon" and how 2 find out if your pokemon has max stats... but, does it really matter?

my question is: can i just do the box trick and max out a pokemon's stats that way? or if i have a bad-gened pokemon, will it just always be a loser and unable 2 reach it's max stats?

oh boy i hope i made sense .
