Training Guide

Introduction

Inclement Emerald makes a lot of changes to systems like experience gain and EV training. This document explains how to take advantage of those changes.

Experience

The experience system works as follows:

  • Pokémon that appear in battle get 100% of the experience, no matter how many were switched in
  • Pokémon that don't appear in battle get 25% of the experience — and still gain EVs
  • Defeating a Pokémon higher level than yours gives bonus Exp; lower level gives less
  • Trainers scale based on the highest level in your party
  • Wild Pokémon scale based on your entire party — one overlevelled Pokémon won't inflate the scaling if the rest are weak

Exp Boosts

  • Exp Share — holder gets 100% experience even if it doesn't appear in battle
  • Lucky Egg — boosts all Exp gained by 50%
  • Training Band — if the holder is at least 5 levels below the highest level in your party, all Exp it gains is boosted 5×

Which Item to Use?

  • Falling slightly behind — give it the Exp Share
  • Can battle normally — give it the Lucky Egg
  • Just hatched or very far behind — give it the Training Band to catch up, then switch to Exp Share or Lucky Egg

As of version 1.7, all obtainable Pokémon are guaranteed to have at least three perfect IVs, chosen at random.

EV Training

There are two ways to EV train:

  1. Buy EVs directly from Evie, an NPC in the old move reminder's house in Fallarbor
  2. Use Power items — these have been modified so you can train against any Pokémon anywhere; dedicated EV training spots are no longer necessary

Power items now give 16 EVs per KO instead of 8, and prevent the holder from gaining any "natural" EVs — only the 16 from the item are applied.

For example: hold a Power Bracer and KO a Zubat — the holder gets 16 Attack EVs and 0 Speed EVs.

Combined with the Exp-all mechanic, you can EV train your entire party anywhere at the same time — just give each Pokémon the right Power item. You need 16 KOs to max out a stat, so 32 total KOs will fully EV train your whole team, provided each Pokémon holds a Power item and you swap items after the first 16.

Evie can also show your Pokémon's current EVs and reset them all to zero.

Changing IVs

IVs can be both increased and decreased by Ivy, also found in the old move reminder's house in Fallarbor. She charges:

  • 1 Bottle Cap per IV changed
  • 5 Bottle Caps to set all IVs to a preset combination for any Hidden Power type

Note that Hidden Power Dark sets all IVs to 31, and Hidden Power Dragon sets all IVs to 31 except Attack, which is set to 0 — ideal for special attackers.

As of version 1.7, Vitamins (HP Up, Protein, etc.) no longer increase EVs. Instead, each one increases an IV by 8.

Changing Natures

A chef NPC in Slateport can change a Pokémon's nature in exchange for 5 Oran Berries. He's found in the old name rater's house on the western side of the city.

Rather than picking from a massive list, the chef asks which stat you want boosted and which you want reduced. He'll tell you which colour corresponds to which stat — the flavour your Pokémon prefers will be boosted, and the flavour it dislikes will be reduced.
