Am I EV training my Aron correctly?

Aug. 11, 2013

So recently I been EV training my aron in defense by beating kakunas and metapods in Ilex forestMy aron has pokerus and a power brace and if each kakuna and metapod give 2 EVs in defensebut when I plus all the elements I get 2 results which one is right?

Result 1: 2 EVs (metapod and kauna) 4 EVs of the power brace x 2 PKRS=12 EVs per battle

Result 2: 2 EVs plus pokerus= 4 plus 4 EVs of the power brace= 8 EVs per battle

Short Answer

First one. (i.e. 12 EVs)

Long Answer(accompanied by some maths and a formula from Smogon)

The fastest EV training is done with a combination of Pokerus and a Power Item, earning EVs at this rate per battle:

(y+ 4) * 2

whereyis the amount of EVs you would earn alone.

Metapod and Kakuna give out 2 EVs each. In this case,yis 2 .

Power Bracer adds 4 EVs to every battle, add that to the 2 for each Metapod/ Kakuna you defeat, you get 6 EVs for every battle fought.

(2 + 4)2 = 62 = 12
