How do you EV train a Pokemon in platinum?

Answer 1

EV training is a slow process that involves battling specific Pokémon in order to get ev points or effort value points. Most Pokémon give between 1-3 ev points. For every four ev points a Pokémon gets in a stat that stat will be 1 point higher by the time the Pokémon gets to level 100. There is a maximum of 510 total EV points and a maximum of 255 in each stat. When EV training it is important to know which stats you want to raise since you are limited in the total number of ev points both in a specific stat and in total. Maxing out ev's in a stat means getting Pokémon to have 252 ev's in that stat, as that is the highest amount divisible by four.

For good ev values for individual Pokémon try the Smogon link below, for good places to train Pokémon in a specific stat check the GameFAQs link.
