So once I max a EV if I level the mon a bunch they'll just naturally get a butt load more of that stat right?

EVs change the stats as they are gained, so you see the effect right away. Not sure if it updates while in-battle without leveling up, though

As someone who spent 30 hours grinding jobs in DQ7 this year, I understand why people get so into Pokemon min/max ing. Especially because of how esoteric and fringe it is to the actual presentation/mechanics

do you get fire/ice punch from move tutors or anything at any point? in ORAS on the battle tower island there were many move tutors that taught all the best moves you'd ever need for BP, but guides on this game aren't complete yet

There are move tutors around the world but battle tower gives you Mega Stones and EV training hold items. No move tutors are tied to it I don't think

Training defense EV is a huge pain in the rear end btw because your option is chaining Roggenrolas with a -6 accuracy and missing 80% of your moves or chaining Geodudes and hoping they don't self destruct immediately on appearance and ruining the chain

idk oras let you make a dream team with the move tutors. letting you learn dragonpulse and all the other great moves that aren't TMs. along with removing the dexnav its always a step forward and a step back w/ these games lol

Luckily these Oricorio have pound, peck, growl and helping hand so I'd have to be very neglectful to have one of them die to struggle I've done it once

I was spared by paralysis stopping my death machine munchlax from dealing a killing blow, but I was a fool to think that crutch would work a second time

I spilled a bottle of silicone lubricant into my old 3ds and it still turns on but it is very slick to the touch and awful to feel, so I decided to buy one of the new black Friday 3ds systems and im just now getting a late start on Pokemon as a result, please friend me, thank you.

Lead with a damp Psyduck. This allowed me to catch a shiny Graveler in Y.
