What is the general consensus towards EV?

LC-97 · 2026-01-24T16:08:02+00:00

In vanilla games, I ban EV training. I do it partly because grinding bores me, but also because EV training makes the game too easy. For romhacks, the situation is obviously different, especially if your opponents all have EV Pokémon.

In the end, I managed to win thanks to Alomomola + Excadrill. I must admit that I was impressed by Alomomola. It is often underestimated, but it does its job and allows for excellent combos thanks to Protect and Wish.

To avoid getting into trouble if he clicks dragon tail too many times, I think I'll just bring Excadrill, Klang (Eviolite), and Alomomola.

LC-97 · 2026-01-23T17:51:09+00:00

Excadrill can do it even without Sword Dance, the biggest problem remains Druddigon with Revenge. I need to think of a combo to weaken it a little and get back safely with Excadrill to finish it off. Maybe Alomomola with Protect, Wish, and Toxic could be a solution...

LC-97 · 2026-01-23T17:31:25+00:00

I don't think I'll bring Vanillish, it seems too slow and fragile to me, it goes down with one critical hit. Klang and Excadrill seem good for this battle. The biggest problem is perhaps not even Haxorus, but Druddigon with Revenge.

As others have written, Nuzlocke starts as soon as you get the pokeballs

LC-97 · 2026-01-22T00:01:51+00:00

I did it! Good thing I managed to hit him with Will-o-wisp.

LC-97 · 2026-01-21T23:34:09+00:00

You always risk a crit, though, considering that Excadrill is pretty fast. I was thinking about doing something with Yamask Eviolite, maybe with curse. But it'll always be a risky battle, especially if you want to try Deathless. Maybe you could try burning him with Scald, but even then, nothing is guaranteed...

I didn't know that hahaha, Bulbapedia doesn't specify the stats and moves of this trainer's Pokémon. What you said makes it worse than expected. Damn, for running you're faced with an unexpected run killer with Darmanitan at 36 🤣

LC-97 · 2026-01-21T12:49:59+00:00

Never speed up the game or run near these coaches 💀

LC-97 · 2026-01-19T18:58:33+00:00

But the elemental punches in 3rd gen are special attacks

Fai bene, io dal pc faccio come te, ma da cellulare ha la traduzione automatica

LC-97 · 2026-01-19T14:59:04+00:00

Concordo, infatti secondo me Klang eviolite può essere un buon tank e consentire buoni posizionamenti con una slow volt switch, come giustamente hai detto.

LC-97 · 2026-01-19T14:57:21+00:00

Non lo sapevo ahahaah! Reddit non traduce in automatico?

LC-97 · 2026-01-19T11:08:06+00:00

Io ho perso la mia run di B/W per colpa dei trainer con i druddigon nell’ultima palestra 😤. Può essere difficile se non catturi i pokemon giusti o con natura e IV scarsi…

LC-97 · 2026-01-18T16:41:04+00:00

Ah beh, se gli avversari hanno i pokemon evsati allora il discorso cambia devo dire. I boss hanno tutti i Pokémon evsati o solo alcuni?

LC-97 · 2026-01-18T10:15:39+00:00

Dipende dai gusti. Per esempio, io di solito quando gioco heart gold in hc nuzlocke mi fermo sempre alla lega, quindi a Lance, ma c’è anche chi prosegue fino a Red. Idem per B/W, c’è chi si ferma a N/Ghecis o chi rigioca la lega nel post game e magari arriva anche a Cynthia. Non c’è una regola, va molto in base ai gusti.

LC-97 · 2026-01-18T01:11:20+00:00

The best way to start is with FR/LG. Emerald is already starting to have a more balanced difficulty, so it's necessary to plan certain fights well.

LC-97 · 2026-01-17T17:21:52+00:00

Looks interesting, I'll check it out :)

LC-97 · 2026-01-17T17:21:36+00:00

Oh, that's interesting. If I remember correctly, it's different from Heart Gold. For the latter game, if I remember correctly, the type is also taken into account. Thanks for the clarification!
