when you use a pokemons move whether its sp atk or what ever
if you use it enough thats what will rise when the pokemon lvls up
thats why rare candys arent worth shit

That's not true. Pokemons stats grow better based on what pokemon you battle.

both are true because i've tested my theory

I've used rare candies, things grow the same.

test it
use rare candys on a poke mon get it to lvl 20 and lvl a pokemon to lvl 20 by using it in battle and lmk what you see in stats...
gotta be the same pokemon btw

The EV factor when using rare candies is applied when boxed. Agreed, if a pokemon has NO EV's when using rare candies, stats will be lower, but after maxing the EV's, training with battles/rare candies doesn't make a difference.

Thinking about a new team:

Nidoqueen - Poison Point - Poison Jab, Rock Climb, Body Slam, Earth Power
Hitmonlee - Limber - Rock Smash, Blaze Kick, High Jump Kick, Rock Slide
Starmie - Natural Cure - Surf, Waterfall, Ice Beam, Thunder Bolt
Aerodactyl - Pressure - Fly, Crunch, Rock Slide, Steel Wing
Jolteon - Volt Absorb - Wish, Thunder Bolt, Hidden Power(Ice), Shock Wave
Arcanine - Flash Fire - Extreme Speed, Thunder Fang, Crunch, Strength


Playing through Diamond. Has all HM's covered except for cut, but that's only needed one or two places.

so what your saying is i gotta put it in my box to get the stats..?



that sounds like a pro team go for it man and GL

Had them for nostalgic feeling

I use:
Charizard (my all time fav)
Dragonite
Alakazam
Ampharos
Blastiose
cant member what i have here

It kind of works the same as if you got to level 100 and then EV trained, when you put them in the box, it triggers the evs to switch around. It's a weird concept, and I haven't tested it, but everything else on the site works for me, and I don't want to change any of my EV's, so I just go with it, and I have seen that when using rare candies on EV trained pokemon, they do attain the same stats as an ev trained pokemon battling.

Edit: I think I will go for it, I've never used a Nidoqueen, so I wanted to try it, and go for an original 150 pokemon walk through a newer game.
