What would make my Pokemon stronger, vitamins (Carbos ect) or Wings (Muscle Wing)?

2 minute read

hi I have never really understood EVs, I always used to use tons of Rare Candies to get to Lv:100 but since I heard that EVs help you get stronger Pokemon i’ve stopped using them now but i’m a little stuck. As i’ve said I used Rare Candies to get really strong an I used to use the Vitamins to squeeze as much power out of my Pokemon as possible but i’ve seen and found these Wings on Black 1 and White 2 but never used them. now I have read up about them on this website but i’m still a little confused on whether I can use the full 225 on each stat (yeah I have that many because I used an Action Replay for all/max items) and get the highest stats possible.

For example say if I caught a Lv:1 Arceus and gave it as many wings as possible at Lv:1 would it get every EV at once without battling or would it be better to battle till it’s Lv:100 then use the Vitamins? I chose Arceus as the example as 1, it’s 1 of my favourite Pokemon and 2, it has the highest stats but what i’m wondering is if I use the wings would it’s stats be the highest number possible if I use all of the wings I could. so would it’s final Lv:100 stats be:

HP - 444ATTACK - 372DEFENSE - 372SP. ATK - 372SP. DEF - 372SPEED - 372(i would love Arceus to have every one of these stats)

i’m not bothered about whether I can or can’t use it over Wi-Fi as I don’t use that it’s just for personal in-game use an for when I have an Infrared/Wireless battle with friends just so I can just destroy their teams with ease using them.

Sorry, those stats are not possible. Here are the reasons:

I cannot determine what stats you Arceus will have; it depends on how many and what kind of wings / vitamins are given.

Also, only 508 EVs can be used, as 4 EVs = 1 stat point.

Now, in regards to your question. Vitamins give 10 EVs, while wings give 1 EV. It may seem like Vitamins are superior, but you can only use 10 Vitamins a stat. Meaning 100 EVs. So Vitamins are stronger for limited used. Wings can be used in unlimited quantities up to 255 a stat.

I’d say Wings.
