Can I Max-Out my EV's before leveling my Pokemon up? (Pokemon X/Y)?

2 minute read

I just got Pokemon Y for Christmas, and after researching the starters, I chose Froakie because I love fast Pokemon (and he’s really cute :P ). I started Super-Training him right away, but I am a little confused about the EVs. Can I max out his Speed and Satk EV’s before I really level him a lot? Or will he not gain as good stat boosts if I max them too early? I hope it doesn’t make a difference because he has a Hasty nature and I really don’t want that Speed to go to waste.

Thanks!

P.S. is it possible to remove any EV’s I used winning the first battle or catching a Pokemon?

You can max them whenever you want.It won’t have any effect on the stats whatsoever on your Greninja. However, all of the EVs won’t take effect at one level.

And, yes, you can reset EVs through aReset BagorEV lowering Berries

Yes, you can max put the evsOnce at a really high level your Greninja will have a +63 in your speed and sp. Atkins stats compared to other greninja who don’t ev train

You can max out a Pokemon’sEVsatANYlevel you wish. You will get the same boosts fromSuper-Trainingat Lv1 as you would at Lv99.

Because you’re new to 6th Gen I will remind you or tell you if you haven’t discovered or heard of the newEVtechnique which is so easy compared toSuper-Training. Although you can only do it a little further in the game but it’s good to keep in mind as you can fullyEVtrain multiple Pokemon at a time within 5-6 hoard battles. The method ishere

And yes you can reset a Pokemon’sEVs, however it erases every singleEVyou’ve obtained. You can find out how to do thathere. You basically just keep hitting the blank punching bag on theSuper-Trainingscreen on the bottom of yourDSand it will randomly give you bags and one of them will eventually be a ‘Reset Bag’ have a Pokemon beat that and it will have0 EVs. The link will demonstrate and explain it a lot better than doing it verbally.

… Happy Christmas!
