best way to apply e.v.s in pokemon d/p/pt?

So... I'm getting a team ready for the 2009 video game championships. The team will consist of 4 pokemon all at level 50. I have all the pokemon bred. I have all the items and TMs I'll need. I have plenty of the right vitamins for my needs. I know full well where to e.v. train. I even have 4 exp shares! All 4 pokemon are ready and waiting to be trained up to level 50. The only problem is I'm worried I'm going to APPLY the e.v.s WRONG and squander my time and well bred pokemon. Is such a thing possible? What I mean is, is there a right/wrong/good/better/best way to APPLY the e.v.s? For example.., should I use all 10 carbos before or after evolving my Ninetailes, at level 1 or wait till 49 or 50? And, does it matter if i get all 255 e.v. points in whatever maxed stat as soon as possible, say level 15, or so, or does it just not matter as long as i get all 510 by level 50. Really I'm just looking for the highest stat boosts in the right spots by level 50. Does anybody know of any tricks/secrets?matt-j

Thanks for the advice! I apreciate it. Still does anybody know if it's "best" to get all 510 EVs as early as possible, or does it not matter as long as you get them by level 50? I'm not going to miss some kind of extra boost by not cramming them all in before level 10 or something am I? Competition will be tough and I don't want to squander ANYTHING.matt-j

you should really look up and EV guide, but ill do my best to explain

fist off, get pokerus as soon as you can, as it doubles the evs you gain. secondly, rare-candies have no effect on your evs whatsoever, but i cant imagine you having enough to level all those pokes up anyway. obviously, however, you wont gain any evs if you never fight anything and ONLY rare candy. every pokemon in the game gives a certain number of evs to a certain stat. (for a list, go to serebii.net, or google search it). with an XP share, everything that gets experience gets ALL the evs from the pokemon. the point of ev training isnt to get evs, because that always happens, its to put them in the right places. i dont want any speed evs on a rhyperior, nor do i want attack on my milotic.

what you need to do is look up what you want (attack on a dragonite, for example) and then go fight stuff that gives attack evs until you have the desired amount. it doesnt matter what level you do this at, but keep in mind that if you level it at the e4 or something random, you'll get tons of random evs.my advice: level him a little fighting only things with the correct evs. (ei. xp share him on lv 50 fearows, so long as speed is something you need) then he'll be stong enough to kill some low leveled stuff.

items: you WANT to use these. macho brace+ pokerus=4x evs. all the other items add to the number of evs you get, this applies after pokerus. for example: starly=1 speed. x2 for pokerus=2. +4 for power item=6.

vitamins: these give 10 each to whatever stat, but they can only bring it up to 100. use these before you do any training.

i hope i didnt insult you're intelligence, but i tried to list all the basics, as it sounds like you havnt done this before.

now that i understand, the answer is no. if you get enough evs for 20 points in attack, you wont see all 20 until level 100. the higher level it goes, the more noticable it is. however, sometimes you will see the results as you level up, maybe getting 5 or 6 in a stat or something. potentially, if you get to lv 99 with no evs(rare candies), then ev'd, then leveled up, you would see all of them at once.

basically, just put the evs in the right places. at level 50 you'll see a difference, but your advantage over you oppenents will be greatest at lv 100 (assuming they dont ev). i'de try to convince them to round to 100 if i were you.

someone brought this back from the dead eh? yes, i've since learned which order they're applied in. i do use pokerus, but i dont have all the power items, so i usually use the macho brace.
