Ah.
Lately I've only been planting berries and trading on the GTS for IDs, hoping I'll get lucky and win the ID Lotto again.
@Renegade: You know how to EV train then?
B~T taught me, and I also checked out GameFaqs for more help. And so far it's done wonders for me... Electivire now has 214 atk EVs, which means I can begin to train him in both atk and speed.
I need to plant more berries for removing EVs... Electivire may still have EVs on defence, which means that I can't complete his training yet >< (i did not realise how many defence EVs were on him...)
In good news, Leafeon has the same amount of defence stats naturally as Scisor has atk right? I haven't EV trained Leafeon, but it has great defences...
