Should I EV and IV train main game?

Feb. 9, 2021

I’m currently in a dilemma as I’m hoping to apply the information I’ve learned from studying EVs and IVs to my future Pokemon (playing black 2).

Should I concern myself with EV training my Pokemon & trying to get good IVs on my team throughout my playthrough?( I’m bound to gain EVs I don’t want on a Pokemon in my playthrough. )

( example, I would like to get good stats for my Snivy by getting a good nature and characteristic ).

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

If you really care about it that much, than go ahead. But, I suggest not to. If you start EV training, you might get bored of it, and then not use the Pokémon you are EV training because it will have it’s EVs ruined. And you don’t need to EV train for a playthrough. So, I suggest just having fun in your playthrough, beat it, and then after you beat the game, get new Pokémon to IV breed or EV train after you complete the main story.Edit: If you want to do the Gen 5 equivalent of the Battle Frontier, then I recommend EV training and IV breeding.

Hope I helped!
