I have a question.Although the page says that the power items are affected by pokerus, i was ev training not to long ago and the powers didnt give me the evs. Hell, they didnt have any effect at all. I was training my Gallade and fighting bibarels, which give me 4 atk's since i had pokerus on it, and i killed about 4 of them upon level up and should have gotten 48 evs, im=f my calculations are correct. Am i doing something wrong?--User: Mr T Tar

No, not at all. The Pokémon doesn't get the extra stat points all at once, it gets them gradually as it grows, with all of them by level 100. It'll get maybe one extra point per level (but with nothing to compare it to, you'd actually need an exact clone to see). Trust me, your Gallade will have maximum Attack by 100 if its nature is Adamant. TTEchidna 04:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

weird, because my friend says that it should get them all at once(apparently his did). Yeah its an adamant gah what a relief i thought my game was screwed up >.<.

I think it depends on the level the training starts at, because I had a lv 28 or so Monferno who was battling bidoof with the power bracer (the attack one) and got 27 more attack when he leveled up, so its probably spread out so if it starts at level one you'll get them slowly, but at higher levels you'll get them in a larger set for a few levels until it evens out Triceratops9 01:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Clarification question...

does the given item completely overwrite the natural EVs that a given pokemon is supposed to supply?

for example; if I have a Power Anklet on my pokemon (promotes speed), and I go fight Chansies (who give HP EVs) which of the following happens?

4 Spd EVs 4 Spd EVs + 2 HP EVs

what about if I kill a Golbat?

4 Spd EVs 4 Spd EVs + 2 Spd EVs

I'm just wondering on this, because if it's the second option, I'll just stick to my macho brace...

I think it does. What I do is just use the Macho Brace and train against Rattata/Raticate/Spearow/Fearow on Route 225 for Speed, though... TTEchidna 22:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Answer

The power items do not overwrite the regular EVs given. So if you have the power anklet and fight a Chansey the Evs given would be 4 Spd EVs (from the anklet) plus 2 HP EVs (from the Chansey) --Trainer-c 08:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Confuzzling Sort of GameFreak Thing.....

So if I gave a Pokemon a Power Bracer, in example, would this mean that no matter which Pokemon I battle, I will always get 4 EV's added along with the EV i got from the Pokemon I battled? So:

  • Magikarp is holding a Power bracer. I battle a Bulbasaur.

Do

or

Do I get 4 Attack EV's

or

Do I get 1 Speed EV  ? File:Ani137MS.gifTESHFile:Ani233MS.gifTALKFile:Ani474MS.gifSAND 19:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Correct

You are correct, the Power items at 4 EVs to their chosen stat along with the EVs gained from defeating the Pokémon. So fighting a Bulbasaur while holding the Power Bracer, you would get 4 Attack EV's + 1 Speed EV.

Macho Brace

Does macho brace reduce the in-battle speed? or it makes the pokémon get regular EVs for speed instead of doubled? hfc2X 01:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

It reduces the Speed in battle only; I can confirm this after getting Speed increases of 15+ points when trying to raise the stats on my Pokémon for the Battle Tower and for Battle Revolution. Diachronos 16:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Well I actually confirmed that long ago and added to the article... but anyways thank you. hfc2X 18:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Exp. Share + Ev Item

Say pokémon "a" is holding the power lens and pokémon "b" is holding the exp. share, does pokémon "b" gain the +4 Sp.Atk Evs from the power lens when pokémon "a" defeats an opponent? DesiAdame 18:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Nopes. Pokémon "b" gets the normal amount of EVs the wild/foe Pokémon gives. hfc2X 03:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been wondering...

if Pokemon "a" holds, say, a Power Lens, and Pokémon "b" is another pokémon, and both are in your party, what happens if:

  • a battles and runs away
  • a doesn't battle, but b runs away
  • a battles, is switched for b, who then runs away
  • a doesn't battle and b defats a pokemon
  • a battles, but switches for b, who defeats the foe

-- Sk8torchic

wait... is it 2-on-2? hfc2X 04:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
1-on-1 Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 22:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

This is what happens respectively:

  • no Pokémon receive EVs
  • no Pokémon receive EVs
  • no Pokémon receive EVs
  • b gets all EVs, but a doesn't
  • a and b receive the same amount of EVs the foe gives (meaning if it is a Haunter, then a and b get 2 Sp.Atk EVs) hfc2X 03:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

so if aholds one these items in the last one, it still counts toward the EV's? i'm REALLY confused as to all this. I've never really ev trained before. Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 16:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

In the example, a was holding a Power Lens, so it got 2 Sp.Atk EVs that Haunter gives + 4 EVs for the Power Lens for a total of 6 and b got only 2. And yes, I agree this is pretty confusing when you just discover that EVs exist, but if you keep on training, it becomes simple. hfc2X 22:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Speed Reduction

Do the power items simply slow down the wearer like the Macho Brace or Lagging Tail, or does it actually subtract from the stat like the Tomato Berry. If the latter, whats the point of the anklet?
