How to use Action Replay Powersaves for Pokemon XY ORAS 3DS
I want to guide you in the world of Powersaves where things can be difficult sometimes.
1. Legal Pokemon
Some people think that Pokemon that are edited with a Powersaves are illegal. But a lot of things that we do with Powersaves can be done in the game, but sometimes its really hard to get or a lot of work.
6IVs: it is possible to breed 6IVs on a Pokemon so giving it 6IVs with Powersave is not considered illegal. However 6IVs on event or legendary Pokemon can never be legal. When you get a Pokemon from an event you will get 3IVs max. Some event Pokemon are locked to have more IVs and nature changed. I could trade 6IV Diancie for awhile but it got locked and thus I choose the 3 best IVs for the Pokemon and use it in a giveaway. But if you give Groudon 6IVs its not a problem, even though you cannot get it in the game (cause they cant be bred), you can still trade the Pokemon and use it in wifi battles.
Nature: You can catch and breed Pokemon in every nature so if you change the nature of a Pokemon it is not considered illegal. Like I said in the previous text, some event Pokemon are locked and their nature cannot be changed. But you will not be able to trade or use the Pokemon in wifi battle so then you know something is wrong with it.
Shiny: Almost every Pokemon can be shiny in the game, so if you make them shiny its not a problem. But some legendary or event Pokemon are what we called "shiny locked" like Diancie. If you do make Diancie shiny you will not be able to trade it so then you will know right away. Click on the link to see what Pokemon are shiny locked: http://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml
Note: if you make a Pokemon shiny its ID number will be changed and it will turn into a traded Pokemon or it will change the IVs. So if someone wants a Pokemon shiny make sure they give it a nickname before you make it shiny, if they bred it they cannot change the nickname any more after you made it shiny.
EVs: Its still pretty new that you can add EVs and I think its awesome. But make sure you do not add to much EVs or you cannot use the Pokemon on wifi battles or trade it. Max EVs on a Pokemon is 510 (and you can only use 508 of the EVs in the game). So make sure you check that before you trade the Pokemon.
Gender: You can change the gender of a Pokemon but make sure that the Pokemon exists in that gender. Some Pokemon only exist as female (or gender less) so don't make that male. I never tried it but I'm sure its not a good idea.
2. How to get every Pokemon with powersaves
You can get certain event Pokemon with fake and real wondercards, the real wonder cards are legal and the fake are not. Makes sense right:p But there is one wonder card spawn option that is awesome, its the one with the master balls. It works like this, you get 999 master balls in slot one with powersaves and go into your game and go to the Pokemon center. Now you will look up the national dex number of the Pokemon and discard as many balls as needed to keep the number of the Dex of the Pokemon. So lets say we need Emboar and his Dex number 500 so we need to discard 499 master balls to keep 500 left.Then you save the game and go back to the powersaves. You click the spawn every Pokemon wonder card option and you will get that Pokemon just like you would get an event Pokemon, from the lady in the Pokemon center.
Now comes the best part, you can soft reset until you get the ability you want, like HA (hidden ability) if you need it. But to make sure the Pokemon is legal I breed the Pokemon with HA to make it legit.
If you make event/legendary Pokemon this way they will never be legit and you can never trade them, so keep that in mind. Note: Some Hidden Abilites are not released yet and you won't be able to trade them via Wifi or use them in Wifi battles. On serebii.net you can find the Pokemon you want and it will say if the ability is released yet or not. Like HA Snivy will be released soon as an event in Japan so till then we can't use it, but just wait for it.
3. Hidden Powers
In powersaves you can give a Pokemon every hidden power you want. This is done by manually changing the IVs, normally I just pick 6IVs cause its the easiest. But if you want a Hidden Power you have to look up what IVs to use to get it. Here is a link: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php
If you pick from this website the Hidden Powers will have the max attack power you can get with a Hidden Power. It will have a 70 base attack power.
You will find a user guide for Powersaves in the link
9. Breeding shiny Pokemon
So, you want a Shiny Pokemon of your own and don’t want to get a
cloned one through the trade boards (or simply cant). You’ve heard from
your friend that getting a Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y has
become easier than ever! In fact, they are correct! But while it has
become easier, that does not mean it is not time consuming!
The Masuda Method and You!
The Masuda Method (MM) was hinted at by GameFreak Director Junichi Masuda in his blog post on 12/14/2007. In his blog, Masuda says the following;
Okay okay, but what IS the method?!
The Method is actually pretty simple. Two Pokemon of different regions need to breed. The offspring produced will have a higher chance of hatching as a Shiny.
Prior to the Masuda Method discovery, a normal person hatching Pokemon eggs has a 1 in 8192 (1/8192) of hatching a Shiny. In Generation 4 according to data miners at Smogon, the Masuda Method greatly reduces that number (by 75%!) to 1 in 2048 (1/2048 chance). In generation 5 (Black and White Series) this number was discovered to have been increased by 6 from the original 1 in 8192 to 1 in 1365 (1/1365 chance of hatching a Shiny).
A current test on Smogon is going under the assumption that the rate is actually 3/2048 (1/682) assuming that the rate continued to increase in a similar pattern from the previous games. Further research from Project Pokemon also conclude that the number is 1/682 for a chance of hatching a Shiny.
Wow! So I can get a Shiny in NO time huh!
Hold on one second young grasshopper. I said that it would take time and I meant it.
Things Needed For Masuda Method of Breeding
-Two Pokemon of compatible egg group and different genders, or 1 poke and a ditto. One Pokemon needs to be foreign.
A foreign Pokemon means one that is not from your region (language). You will know if it if from a different region by looking at the top left corner of the Pokedex screen. If it is from your game, their wont be anything there. A 3 letter acronym for the region will be displayed there, such as JPN, FRE, or KOR if it did not originate in your game.
- Access to the Pokemon Day Care on Route 7.
- A Bicycle (it will make things go quicker) which is received in Cyllage City.
- Money (depending on how you wish to do this).
- A Pokemon with Flame Body Ability to reduce the amount of steps needed to hatch the egg. (Fletchinder, who evolves from Fletchling, has this ability.)
- Hatching O Power.
Note: While you can do this without a pokemon with Flame body and Hatching O Power you risk making an already long process even longer.
Start of the game version (for those without fly)
- Deposit both of your Pokemon in the Pokemon Daycare via the Daycare lady. Keep in mind that each level costs 100 peso’s (or what ever you want to call the money). Put the rest of your Pokemon in the PC except for your flame body Pokemon.
- Save your game.
- Go outside and talk to the man facing towards the stables (he wears his hat backwards so it’s annoying if you aren’t paying attention). If he says that the two Pokemon get along then you are set. If he says they prefer other Pokemon then the egg groups are not compatible.
- Bike down to the cave to the left of the Daycare, then bike all the way to the right into the town. Continue doing this until the Daycare man turns around (you’ll see his face, but his hat is backwards still. Hipster) and speak to him. He will ask if you want the egg. Say yes (You can say no however. He basically looks at you like an idiot and asks you again if you want it. If you say yes he gives you the egg, if not then he takes it and keeps it for dinner).
- Now bike back and forth down the path, picking up more eggs as you go. Personally I found this easier than filling my bank with eggs, as breeding with a ditto tends to produce eggs quicker than you can hatch them.
- Eventually you will start hatching eggs. PLEASE BE AWARE Some Pokemon have very very subtle Shiny changes. The ONLY place you will see the shiny form at this point is at the hatched screen (The 3D model). The actual sprite is not shiny, so looking down at the Super Trainer screen won’t help.
- After you have filled up your party you have several options. You can deposit these into your PC, Open your PC and release them, or WT them off. The other thing that you could do is soft reset, and load the game back up at the save. The second option saves money, but the first saves time.
II reset the game, don’t I reset my Shiny chance rate?
Hmm. Are you a boy, or are you a girl?
Actually, this is the part where I tell you no and explain why this thing takes so long. You see, the Masuda Method increases the chance of hatching a Shiny between 1/682 to 1365. This does not mean however, that if you hatch 681 Pokemon, or 1364 Pokemon, that the next one will be Shiny. The hatch rate is for each egg. So the 1st Pokemon you hatch has the same exact chance of hatching a shiny as the 2,000th.
So by soft resetting you don’t lose the chance of obtaining a shiny. It can just take longer, and depending on your method of breeding (as in, if you are breeding egg moves or for IV’s), the babies may be good trades for other pokes.
Okay. Is there another method for hatching?
Yes. It involves all the steps above except instead of biking back and forth in front of the daycare center, you fly to Lumiose City and bike around the city using a dime to keep your thumb stick in one direction. This may be faster for some people. I did not have fly at the time so I did my method. Please realize that the other method works for many people. Since I have no real experience with it i can't talk about it in great details.
What was the name of my Grandson Again?
FAQ:
1. How long does this process take?
Sadly, it is all up to luck. While the Masuda Method greatly increases your chance of finding a Shiny, the exactly number of eggs and the time it takes varies. For example. On my first MM run, it took me over 1,900 eggs to hatch a Shiny Tyrunt. This was approximately 100 game hours of time. Luckily I was at home due to an injury and had the time.
My second MM Shiny was a Hone Edge. It took me 32 or so eggs, and this includes my breeding for better IV’s.
2. If I take one of the Pokemon out or switch them out, does this reduce or reset the chance of a shiny?
No. For my Honedge, I was continually taking the parent out to increase IV’s. Each egg hatched, regardless if it is in a chain (continuous hatching without doing other actives) or otherwise has the same chance of being a Shiny.
3. Can I get the eggs and then save, then soft reset after they hatch to save time for hatching?
No. The second the egg is created it is determined. So you could continually hatch and reset the same 5 eggs, but if they were not shiny to begin with, they won’t be shiny later.
4. Do Pokemon received from in game trades count as a different region?
Sadly no.
5. Speaking of Shiny, does the Shiny Charm work for increased Shiny chances?
This is a matter of much debate. The charm did affect breeding in the past, but due to a description change, we are unsure. Smogon is currently testing this though (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/shiny-charm-and-masuda-method-volunteers-needed.3496464/).
You can find a link to a word document there with all of the data. As of 1/19/2014 the current results are: 32,752 eggs hatched, 97 shinnies, which puts the shiny rate at 1/338.
6. Speaking of items. If I have things like an everstone or power item on a Pokemon, does that lower the Shiny chance?
From what I can see, no. I had both a Destiny Knot and Everstone on my Pokemon for both the Tyrunt and Honedge and both Pokemon hatched shiny at opposite sides of the spectrum. If yours is taking awhile just remember, the chance to hatch is the same for each egg.
7. Do ditto’s work? What about if a parent is shiny?
A ditto works just fine. Many Dittos over WT and the GTS are also high IV’s, so it may be worthwhile to use one. Keep in mind that to pass down Level up moves (not egg moves); you need two parents who both know the ability.
Using a Shiny Parent does not increase shiny chance.
8. I don’t have a foreign Pokemon. What do I do :(
Post a message in the Facebook group and ask for a 6IV Japanese Ditto and I will get you one via GTS.
9. I am on my xxxx egg…does this really work?
Yes. Take a break if you need, but I guarantee that the second you notice that Shiny come out of that egg you will have a big grin on your face for sticking with it. They truly do add something special to your team, and they do the little special star glitter when they come out.
The Masuda Method and You!
The Masuda Method (MM) was hinted at by GameFreak Director Junichi Masuda in his blog post on 12/14/2007. In his blog, Masuda says the following;
I have a confident that the player will sure to trade their Pokemon at least once with this GTS system. However, I wondered how we could make the trade number of times…Not only domestic, but overseas trading, especially the people you have never met. This was the big theme of creating GTS in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.I believe high game playability means, to make the game fun playing many times repeatedly. Same as this GTS. So we considered the following contents……rare colored Pokemon’s Egg can be found little easier….Ideas like above are incorporated in the game.It requires a very large effort...After this reveal, the Shiny Method of hatching was discovered by Smogon (a group of people dedicated to the Meta game of Pokemon) and subsequently named the "Masuda Method".
Okay okay, but what IS the method?!
The Method is actually pretty simple. Two Pokemon of different regions need to breed. The offspring produced will have a higher chance of hatching as a Shiny.

8. EV training the fastest way - Example -
I hope you could understand all the info you just read in the
previous two files/documents. Now I will give an example and tell you
how to EV train your Pokemon the fastest way!
What do you need before you can start:
- Power items
- A Pokemon with Sweet Scent and a move that defeats all Pokemon at once (surf, petal blizzard, struggle bug, heat wave etc.) A Pokemon you can get early in the game is Combee (Vespiquen) with Sweet Scent and struggle bug (Pokemon X) and if you play Pokemon Y you can get Oddish (Vileplume) with Sweet Scent and Petal Blizzard.
- Pokerus - EXP Share key item- A Pokemon ready for EV training, make sure youre EVs are empty if not reset them with a reset bag. A Pokemon ready for EV training needs the IVs you want on it, egg moves and the right nature.
Step 1
Give the Pokemon that needs EV training Pokerus. For me it works the best to have just 2 Pokemon in the party, so Pokemon with Pokerus in the first spot. Now make sure you turn of the EXP share, we don't want any unwanted EVs. Now defeat Pokemon until the Pokerus has spread.
Step 2
Turn on EXP Share before you start this. Decide what EV you will be doing first and give the Pokemon the right Power Item. Take your Sweet Scenter with you and fly to the place where you find the horde you need. Here is a list with all the hordes and routes.
XY
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-guide-to-ev-training-with-hordes.3490052/
ORAS
http://nuggetbridge.com/articles/ev-training-horde-hotspots-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire/
Remember if its raining sweet scent or honey will not work in XY (they changed this in ORAS, there you can use it in the rain)
Step 3
How many EVs do you want? Most people choose 252 EVs in (special) attack and 252 EVs speed, but you can divide them any way you want. Getting 252 in 2 stats is the easiest though, you can just defeat 6 hordes and its done. You can never get more than 252 EVs in one stat so you don't have to be worried if you defeat more than the amount needed when its the same Pokemon.
The last 4 EVs give you one stat point so most people add it to HP, but its up to you.
Example
Lets take Greninja and train it how people use him the most, as a special sweeper. Give Froakie Pokerus and give it the power item for speed. For speed I go to route 8 and walk in the grass, use sweet scent and defeat 6 hordes of Wingull.
Give him the Power Item for special attack and defeat 6 hordes of Vanillite in Frost Cavern.
Calculation
1 wingull gives 1 EV in speed1 horde = 5 EVs
Power Item for speed gives +4 on every Wingull = 25 EVs
Pokerus doubles the EVs gained in battle = 50 EVs
5 x 50 = 250
So 6 hordes give 252
What do you need before you can start:
- Power items
- A Pokemon with Sweet Scent and a move that defeats all Pokemon at once (surf, petal blizzard, struggle bug, heat wave etc.) A Pokemon you can get early in the game is Combee (Vespiquen) with Sweet Scent and struggle bug (Pokemon X) and if you play Pokemon Y you can get Oddish (Vileplume) with Sweet Scent and Petal Blizzard.
- Pokerus - EXP Share key item- A Pokemon ready for EV training, make sure youre EVs are empty if not reset them with a reset bag. A Pokemon ready for EV training needs the IVs you want on it, egg moves and the right nature.

Step 2
Turn on EXP Share before you start this. Decide what EV you will be doing first and give the Pokemon the right Power Item. Take your Sweet Scenter with you and fly to the place where you find the horde you need. Here is a list with all the hordes and routes.

ORAS
http://nuggetbridge.com/articles/ev-training-horde-hotspots-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire/
Remember if its raining sweet scent or honey will not work in XY (they changed this in ORAS, there you can use it in the rain)
Step 3
How many EVs do you want? Most people choose 252 EVs in (special) attack and 252 EVs speed, but you can divide them any way you want.

Give him the Power Item for special attack and defeat 6 hordes of Vanillite in Frost Cavern.
Calculation
1 wingull gives 1 EV in speed1 horde = 5 EVs
Power Item for speed gives +4 on every Wingull = 25 EVs
Pokerus doubles the EVs gained in battle = 50 EVs
5 x 50 = 250
So 6 hordes give 252
7. EV training - How to -
Lets look at our Tepig again. If we want to give 252 Attack EVs to
Tepig you might be thinking that having to battle 252 Patrat is going to
be a bit dull. The good news is that there are a large amount of ways
we can speed up the entire process.
Hordes.
In Pokémon X & Y, there is a new concept called Horde Battles. These battles bring five Pokémon for you to battle at once, and each of them gives you the standard Effort Value points. They're typically of a low level as well, making them perfect for Effort Training. Hordes may seem rare, but they can be triggered through the use of Honey or the move Sweet Scent, but only when it isn't raining.
Vitamins.
If you head to the Department store on Route 9 in Black & White, and then proceed to the top left corner of the uppermost floor, or in the Pokémon Center in Laverre City in X & Y, you'll find a merchant selling a variety of different vitamins for $9,800 each. They all say they “increase the base stat” of one specific statistic on a Pokémon. Their effects are outlined here.
One vitamin gives 10 EVs in one stat. You can use these items up to 10 times, giving you +100 EVs to the stat of your choosing. So we feed Tepig 10 Protein, and all of a sudden we only have to give 152 EVs via battling, knocking off 100 from the original 252 Patrat we had to battle. But there's more!
Power Items.
There are a number of items in the game you can let your Pokemon hold that increase the amount of EVs they gain from battles. Their effects and location are outlined here.
Macho Brace
Route 15
Doubles the Effort Value Points obtained in battle, but halves the Speed of the holder.
Power Anklet
Battle Maison
Adds four Speed Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Band
Battle Maison
Adds four Special Defense Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Belt
Battle Maison Adds four Defense Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Bracer
Battle Maison
Adds four Attack Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Lens
Battle Maison Adds four Special Attack Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Weight
Battle Maison
Adds four HP Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Because we want to train our Tepig in the attack stat, lets give it a Power Bracer to hold. If we go and battle a Patrat, instead of gaining +1 Attack EV from the battle, we're instead gaining +5 EVs from every battle. All of a sudden that daunting figure of 152 Patrat has gone down to just a fraction over 30!
Note as well the “Regardless of the Pokemon fought” aspect of these items; even if we battled a Frillish with Tepig, we'd still be gaining +4 Attack EVs as well as the +1 in Special Defence a Frillish gives, so long as she was holding the Power Bracer.
PokéRus
You may have heard of PokéRus before, but there's a good chance you haven't seen it. It's an extremely rare virus your Pokemon can catch from battling with wild Pokemon, and if you are lucky enough to get it you'll soon find that it is absolutely wonderful for EV training your Pokemon. There are two ways of determining whether or not your Pokemon has been infected with PokéRus.
Pokemon Centre nurses will stop you the next time you go in to heal your Pokemon and tell you about the virus. The other way of finding out if you have the virus is by checking your Pokemon's status page; PokéRus shows up as a little purple box with the letters PKRS in the top right hand corner.
So what use does this have to do with EV training?
PokéRus doubles the amount of EVs you gain from battles and stacks with the power items mentioned above. Lets look at our Tepig once more. Tepig has been fed 10 Protein, meaning she already has 100 Attack EVs in the bank. Next, we've given her the Power Bracer to hold, meaning she gains an additional +4 Attack EVs each battle. Finally lets say we got lucky and have infected Tepig with the virus. Now lets go battle a Patrat (remember, Patrat gives +1 Attack EV).
If you've been doing the maths as you read along, you'll know that with all this Tepig is gaining an outstanding +10 Attack EVs per Patrat battled and defeated, cutting the number we need to fight to max Tepig's attack EVs down to a mere 15.
When are EVs calculated, and can I reset them?
With Black and White the way in which EVs are calculated has been changed. Prior to these games, EVs were calculated each time your Pokémon levelled up. This is no longer the case; they are now calculated after each battle. What this means is that it is now possible for you to EV train a level 100 Pokemon, if you so choose.
We also have the ability to reset EVs if we need to. This is done through using specific berries, one berry will decrease EVs with 10 points.
They're listed here as providing a decrease of 10, however, in Generation IV, the first berry you use will reset the EVs for the stat it effects to 100. This means in order to completely reset a stat we need to use 11 of the specific berry. In Generation V though, you'll need 26 of the berries to completely remove a stat from maximum
Sadly, Black and White have brought with them no way of obtaining these berries aside from through the Dream World.
The berries will be available through the dream world, but will likely be more time consuming to get hold of than they were in previous generations of the games. X & Y allow for you to grow these berries, but you can also completely wipe the EVs by earning a Reset Bag in Super Training, or by purchasing the Perilous Soup in the Juice Shoppe.
Super Training
I have never used Super Training and I believe it takes too long to do EV training. But if you need 4 EVs in one last stat you could use it.
So whats the fastest way to EV train?
Go to the next file/document to see an example.
Hordes.
In Pokémon X & Y, there is a new concept called Horde Battles. These battles bring five Pokémon for you to battle at once, and each of them gives you the standard Effort Value points. They're typically of a low level as well, making them perfect for Effort Training. Hordes may seem rare, but they can be triggered through the use of Honey or the move Sweet Scent, but only when it isn't raining.
Vitamins.
If you head to the Department store on Route 9 in Black & White, and then proceed to the top left corner of the uppermost floor, or in the Pokémon Center in Laverre City in X & Y, you'll find a merchant selling a variety of different vitamins for $9,800 each. They all say they “increase the base stat” of one specific statistic on a Pokémon. Their effects are outlined here.
One vitamin gives 10 EVs in one stat. You can use these items up to 10 times, giving you +100 EVs to the stat of your choosing. So we feed Tepig 10 Protein, and all of a sudden we only have to give 152 EVs via battling, knocking off 100 from the original 252 Patrat we had to battle. But there's more!
Power Items.
There are a number of items in the game you can let your Pokemon hold that increase the amount of EVs they gain from battles. Their effects and location are outlined here.
Macho Brace
Route 15
Doubles the Effort Value Points obtained in battle, but halves the Speed of the holder.
Power Anklet
Battle Maison
Adds four Speed Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Band
Battle Maison
Adds four Special Defense Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Belt
Battle Maison Adds four Defense Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Bracer
Battle Maison
Adds four Attack Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Lens
Battle Maison Adds four Special Attack Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Power Weight
Battle Maison
Adds four HP Effort Value Points to all other EV Points gained at the end of a battle, but halves the speed of the holder.
Because we want to train our Tepig in the attack stat, lets give it a Power Bracer to hold. If we go and battle a Patrat, instead of gaining +1 Attack EV from the battle, we're instead gaining +5 EVs from every battle. All of a sudden that daunting figure of 152 Patrat has gone down to just a fraction over 30!
Note as well the “Regardless of the Pokemon fought” aspect of these items; even if we battled a Frillish with Tepig, we'd still be gaining +4 Attack EVs as well as the +1 in Special Defence a Frillish gives, so long as she was holding the Power Bracer.
PokéRus
You may have heard of PokéRus before, but there's a good chance you haven't seen it. It's an extremely rare virus your Pokemon can catch from battling with wild Pokemon, and if you are lucky enough to get it you'll soon find that it is absolutely wonderful for EV training your Pokemon.

6. EVs (Effort Values) explained
This part can be tricky for a lot of people, so I will try to
explain this the best way I can. First watch this video and
then read the rest.
What's an EV?
EV stands for “Effort Value.” They determine what stats your Pokémon gets upon leveling up and are gained from battling any Pokémon you come across that award Experience points. For example;
Beating a Patrat would give all Pokémon that participated in the battle +1 Effort Value to Attack.
Beating a Frillish would give all Pokémon that participated in the battle +1 Effort Value to Sp. Defence.
How do EVs affect stats?
For every 4 EVs you gain in a specific stat, you'll gain +1 to your Pokemon's base value in that stat. What this basically means is that if you battle 4 Patrat with your Tepig, Tepig will then gain +1 to its attack stat (because each Patrat gives +1 EV in the attack stat).
EVs are calculated at +1 Stat point per 4 EVs at level 100, which means you won't see the full benefit of the EVs you put into your Pokémon until it reaches that level; there will still be a benefit, just not as significant as when it reaches the maximum level.
Is there a limit to the amount of EVs I can give my Pokémon?
Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately) there are two limits to the amount of EVs a Pokémon can gain.
When is the best time to start EV training a Pokémon?
The best time to start EV training is as soon as you get that Pokémon, either through breeding (when you finish IV breeding) or catching it. As soon as that Pokémon participates in a battle in which it gains experience, it will have gained some EVs.
If you were to breed a Pokémon you probably won't be able to battle with it right away, due to it only being Level 1. This is where the Exp. Share key item becomes extremely useful. Unlike experience, EVs are not divided up between the Pokémon that gain experience from a battle.
Using our Tepig again, lets say she is currently level 1 and you wanted to give her some Attack EVs. Unfortunately Tepig isn't really capable of beating a Patrat just yet. Turn Exp. Share on and battle with another Pokémon, so that Tepig still gets experience and as a result will also get the EVs from that Pokémon.
In simplistic terms, if a Pokémon gains experience from a battle, regardless of the way in which that experience was awarded, it will receive all EVs it could gain from that battle.
This all seems like a lot of work, so what's the benefit?
In this picture you can see a Greninja that is EV trained in Special Attack and Speed.
In this picture you see a Greninja with different EVs in different stats, not gaining enough to be stronger or faster than the first one.
Here you can see what the Greninja his stats will look like after being trained in certain stats. What looks better to you?

Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately) there are two limits to the amount of EVs a Pokémon can gain.
- Each Pokemon can have a maximum of 508 EVs.
- One stat can have a maximum of 252 EVs.

5. IV Breeding
Now we are gonna (ab)use the 6iv Ditto. Don't have one? I'll provide
one for you via GTS in the Pokemon Breeding 3DS Facebook Group. Get a male or female Charmander with the Hidden
Ability, egg moves and the right ability and give it the everstone to
hold. Give Ditto the Destiny Knot and put them together in day care.
Hatch 5 eggs and take the Charmander with the right ability to the IV checker in the Pokemon center in Kiloude city. Here you are going to check if it has more IVs than the one in daycare. He will tell you what IVs are perfect (meaning 31 stat points more per stat).
You can check the icons in the Pokemon summary to remember what IVs it has. In the picture below you can see a Talonflame pic with the icons marked and it is missing the special attack IV, but he doesn't need it cause he is a physical attacker.
The icons work in the same order as the stats you see on the left: HP = circle, attack = triangle, defense = square etcetera. You have to mark the icons yourself, the game doesn't mark them automatically.
This way you will never forget the IVs a Pokemon has, cause I can't imagine remembering all that. When you get a Charmander with the right ability and 2 or 3 perfect IVs switch it with the current one in daycare (switching the everstone as well). You will keep repeating this process until you get a Charmander with 5ivs missing either special attack or physical attack depending on what build you choose.
The more overlapping IVs the Pokemon in daycare have the more chance of passing them on to the child. It can take a while to get it right, but it's so rewarding! And you'll never know, maybe you'll get a shiny Pokemon in the process?!
