I feel slightly out of place (which is weird if you know who I am.

). I don't play pokemon competitively, so I rarely pay attention to EVs and whatnot. I play it for the strategic element of it.

Planning moves, and predicting your opponent.

I've grown to be good at it, in my opinion. I beat my sister's lvl 100 team with a lvl 73 Venusaur. That may have something to do with the fact that I trained my Venusaur that high, she used rare candies, but anyway.
Actually, can someone clear something up for me? How does one actually train EVs? I know that each pokemon has a value associated with them, but I've never actually figured out how it works.
