Have you finished your adventure and are ready for a real challenge? If you're wondering how to transform your playthrough team into a competitive battle team, this is your starting point. I've compiled all the information about Pokémon training, so you won't be lost in complex data and can enjoy the fun of training competitive Pokémon from scratch.
Overview
1
🧬Base Stats Query
The first step in training is thorough understanding of abilities. The base stats query feature provides comprehensive filtering and sorting tools to help trainers quickly assess battle positioning by comparing base stat strengths and weaknesses, selecting the Pokémon that best meet your tactical needs and desire to train.
2
📊Type Chart
Establish your core and build an iron triangle. After selecting your main Pokémon, use this chart to deeply analyze its offensive coverage and defensive weaknesses, then select two other compatible teammates that can perfectly complement and cover these weaknesses, building a battle formation with both offense and defense.
3
🌿Natures and Mints
A critical step after team formation. For each Pokémon you select, use nature mints to adjust stat modifier directions. Precisely grant bonuses to the advantages you want to specialize in, creating ideal teammates with perfect quality.
4
🍓EV Adjustment (Berries)
Perfect training starts from a blank slate. Before formal training, use corresponding berries or a complete reset method to remove unnecessary EVs randomly obtained on your Pokémon. Reset all values completely to ensure every point allocated later falls precisely into your planned tactical configuration.
5
💪EV Training Methods
After planning your spread, you can choose to have your Pokémon hold specific items to greatly accelerate EV gain through battle, or directly use vitamins to instantly boost designated ability values. Here we compile all the ways to obtain key items to help you complete training efficiently.
6
🔍Area EV Search
Ready with your training items? Now it's time for real battles! Here we provide the best wild training locations for each ability stat. Without needing to spend a fortune on medicine, just find the right place and defeat the right Pokémon to easily achieve your ideal stat configuration.
7
⚔️Move Search
Strong stats alone aren't enough; you need the right moves to execute your tactics. Before entering the battle field, use this feature to deeply research the power, cooldown times, and types of various moves, crafting the most suitable move combination for your Pokémon and ensuring you can handle any situation in battle.
8
🧮 Damage Calculator
Damage calculation is the foundation, but mastering the tempo is the real key to victory. This tool precisely simulates real-battle damage and knockout thresholds based on your IVs and EVs. Beyond raw power, we also convert your Speed stat into actual skill cooldowns (CD), allowing you to analyze both burst potential and sustained attack frequency with supporting offensive and defensive settings—so you never rely on guesswork again.

🛡️Battle-Use Held Items
The key move to turn the tide of battle. In competitive battles, the correct held item configuration often determines victory or defeat. This page carefully selects practical battle-oriented equipment, helping you query information about items that boost power, enhance durability, and more.

EV Distribution Guide
EVs (Effort Values) are the 'hidden values' that determine a Pokémon's strength or weakness. Each Pokémon has a total of 510 points to allocate, with a maximum of 252 points per stat. In the game mechanics, every 4 EV points converts to 1 actual stat point. Therefore, how you precisely distribute these limited points—whether pursuing maximum speed, ultimate offensive power, or fortress-like defense—will directly determine your Pokémon's role and fate in battle.
Standard Training Process to Become a Battle Master
- Establish Core and Team Synergy:First use 【Base Stats】to select your ace Pokémon, then use 【Type Chart】to find complementary teammates that resist weaknesses, building a solid team iron triangle.
- Constitution Correction and Reset:Use 【Mints】to correct nature toward advantageous directions, and through 【EV Berries/Reset】completely clear jumbled EVs, letting your Pokémon return to a blank slate.
- Efficient Stat Training:After confirming your allocation plan, prepare 【EV-related items】and go to locations guided by 【Area Search】for real battles, quickly maxing out key stats at minimal cost.
- Tactical Arming Complete:Finally, select the best 【move combination】based on battle positioning and pair with exclusive 【held battle items】to complete your final competitive form.
FAQ
Q1: Can EVs be reset?
A: Yes, you can visit the "Rustic Group Office" and spend 5 Grit Chunks to fully reset that Pokémon's EVs, then redistribute them. Additionally, you can feed specific "berries" to fine-tune and reduce a single stat's EVs.
Q2: Why didn't my Pokémon's nature name change after using a mint?
A: This is normal. Mints only change the "stat modifier" (one stat +10%, another -10%), not the Pokémon's inherent "nature name". When you check the stats, they're already adjusted.
Q3: What if my Pokémon's IVs are too low or not perfect?
A: No need to recatch! As long as your Pokémon meets the level requirement, you can use a "Silver Crown" or "Gold Crown" to have an NPC perform "Hyper Training". After training, the IVs are treated as 31 (perfect/V) in battle, reaching perfect condition immediately.
Q4: Why can't my Pokémon eat vitamins anymore?
A: This means the EV limit has been reached. A single stat's EV cap is 252 points, and the total cap for one Pokémon is 510 points. Once exceeded, you can no longer gain points through items or battle. Check your current stat distribution.
Q5: Do I need to train my Pokémon to level 100 to battle?
A: Not necessarily. In most official competitive battle formats, Pokémon above level 50 are automatically adjusted to level 50. However, to complete "Hyper Training" or learn high-level moves, it's generally recommended to train higher first.
Q6: Which mechanics are affected by a Pokémon’s Speed stat?
A: Speed mainly reduces skill cooldown (CD). However, moves with priority are not affected by Speed. Speed does not impact animation stiffness, meaning both startup frames (the time from using a move until damage is dealt) and endlag (the time after dealing damage before the CD begins) are fixed values.
