Special Defense EV Training

Recommended Posts

Heya guys, Aessence here--

 

Soooo, I came up with this idea just now, as I'm stuck at Adrienn's gym (boy, xe's tough.) and I'm EV training a Regenerator Amoonguss (252 HP/ 108 Def/ 148 SpD, btw). So, I bought the "power" items and I started training for HP and Defense. Lastly, I tried to find some easy spots for Special Defense training, aaaaaaand....there was none. Now, I've thought of this. Since I had already 252 EVs in Hp, i thought I could train at the HP EV spot (precisely, in the small "harbor" near the Blacksteam Shelter, in Peridot Ward. Old rod, 100% chance for Shelloses, 1 HP EV) while holding the Power item for Sp.Def instead! I know it might sound ridiculously obvious, but I thought it would be of some help to players who wanted to EV train properly and didn't come up with the same idea ;)

Nice one! I'll give it a try!

And be sure to remove your Amonguss's def EVs before training using a reset disk as xe mostly uses moves based on sp attack. (Purchasable in Peridot ward market) 

I would also advice you to give Amonguss's the right power item for sp def as well before training.

I invested 148 points in SpD just to endure 1 STAB Psychic from Gardevoir. The Def is for eventual new challenges and/or online play. Clear smog to take out the Misty field is crucial, so that i can set some spore and goodnight fairies XD

 

Aaaand yep, Power Item is essential ;)

 

Thank you for the tip, I managed to beat him!
