Today I trained Helba to full EV. It didn’t take as long as I thought. I spent a lot on Carbos and Calcium to give her 100 EV in Speed and Sp.Atk to start (each vitamin gives 10 EV). Then I took her to the Old Chateu and gave her the Exp. Share while I stomped out Ghastlys for 2 Sp.Atk EV each (since I have the PokeRus).
I doubled the affect by giving my Roserade (Rapier) Kelpsy and Pomeg berries to lower his Atk and HP EV, then had him do the actual fighting. I call it my retro-training technique. So in effect, I gained 4 EV per battle. I copied this technique in the Survival Zone with the Spearow and Rattata family for speed.
I’m probably going to go to the Battle Tower next to get one of the training items – Power Anklet for Speed, Power Band for Sp. Def, Power Belt for Def, Power Brace for Attack, Power Lens for Sp.Atk and Power Weight for HP. I’ll see if any of them can make this process even faster, but as long as I still have to tweak the stats of my original party pokémon, this method will probably be my favorite.
