Where to find those EV’s
October 14, 2007
Hello everyone!
I have seen a lot of information floating around the PokeFarm forum on the subject of EV’s or Effort Values. I took some time and wrote up a few pages on my web space about where you can find the EV’s you need for Pokemon training. If you are like me, you want EV training over and down with as quickly as possible. So what makes it go quickly? Well you can always go and find a Pokemon that gives the most EV’s for the stat you want. What if it is a low spawning Pokemon? Maybe a Pokemon that gives less EV’s, but spawns more frequently is the answer.
What is the best Pokemon to battle for this? Well I hope this guide will help.

These small guides are just the tip of what can be found throughout Sinnoh. You can find most of these Pokemon very early in the game. EV training early could also speed up your game play. These guides will also help pick the right Pokemon to EV against. If you are training an Electric Type in Defense you will not want to go battle Geodude, so this guide helps you find something weak to your Electric Type. I have all Pokemon and their EV’s listed on my site. It is separated by Stats just like the guides here.. The site is still a work in progress. I also used Excel to make the charts, so sometimes all the lines don’t show up, but if you refresh the page it should work. Here is a link to my site with the entire Pokemon listing charts.
C.W.A. Stables Presents: An EV Guide
The guides seem very long, when you consider half of the Pokemon are not found in the game and can only be obtained by evolution. I put all Pokemon and their EV’s just in case Nintendo and Game Freaks add away in another version to EV train like you could in Emerald. I have used this guide since I wrote it back when I played Ruby and Sapphire. New Pokemon have been added and some old Pokemon have had their EV’s change, but this guide is up to date with Diamond/Pearl and should be 100% accurate. If you find any inaccuracies please let me know. Drop a comment or even send me an e-mail.

Impressive list man! I will definatley be using this as a reference. One thing you might wanna add though is how rare/common a pokemon is in that particular area. It would definatley help decide where to train. You could also add which items increase your EV intake, as well as provide some information about Pokerus…:)
This was just a basic list. I am planning on expanding at some point, but with work, family, and the time it takes to reserarch a guide and then write it up, I am running 26 hours a day.
Thanks dude, This guide is very helpful, on where to train!!
Yay! You go Buzz! Great job! =D
Type a sinnoh pokemon in google and go to the one that has serbii net. It helps where pokemon appear what moves they learn and what lv they learn it egg moves how common it is to find one:common,uncommon,rare ect, You once you acsess you can pick any pokemon from any region It also shows you the male and female spirits of that pokemon and the shiny colour
I hope to help you on your journey to become a pokemon leauge champion on pokemon diamond and pearl
Like ME
matthew do u have good pokemon because i want to battle u
i don’t no how to save the chart pm please
wow. pokemon’s natures have something to do with it, too, but i don’t know what’s what on that note. i have emerald and diamond, with blaziken and prinplup. i kept keeping combusken from evolving, and when it finally did, it had changed natures!
hey nice list. might i add that if you use the vs. seeker under solaceon town the trainer above the dirt slide has 5 bidoofs, making it easier to ev train for hp. ill probably be using this list later so thanks
what exactly are effort values are they the same as exp. points or are they exclusive to games from other countries?
I’m Ev training my Kadabra in SP. Attack. I went to the old Chateau, and I fought a whole bunch of ghastly, and 1 haunter (2 evs), and 1 gengar (3 evs). I also had the power lens equiped, but by the time tht it leveled up, it only gained about 3 ev points in sp. attack. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
