A pair of good routes to get balanced stat EXP on is Route 34 and 35 in Johto. Battling various types of Pok¿mon with varied stats helps get diverse Stat Exp., which is why I like using the Elite 4. You can do this repeatedly to reach your Pok¿mon¿s maximum stats in every category. When you turn the game back on, the Pok¿mon may have stats raised by 1-3 points in one or more categories. After completing 15-30 battles, you put the Pok¿mon in Bill¿s PC, save the game, and turn it off. The technique is very simple: You battle a number of Pok¿mon (The Elite 4 is a good place) with a L. You can get the highest possible stat for your Pok¿mon by doing the box trick. Box Tricking does not raise your DVs simply, your stats are not always the highest they can be at L. 100 Pidgey, the Stat Experience will be the same, although the level experience (What you need to level up) will change dramatically. Stat Experience values are assigned to every species if you battle a L. Stat Experience is given in every battle, but you can¿t see how much you get. 100 may or may not be the highest attainable stat for you, because of another invisible value called ¿stat experience¿. ~~ Box Trick ~~ The box trick is a very simple way to max out your stats. 30 / 2 is 15, and 15 ¿ 15 = 0, giving you a Special DV of Zero. If your Lanturn has a Special of 220, you are 30 off the max stat. *Example 2* The Lanturn species has a maximum Special Attack AND Defense of 250. If your Dragonite has an attack of 358, the DV is 11, because 358 is 8 off the max stat, and if you divide 8 by two, and you have how far off the 15 DV you are, which is 4. *Example 1* The Dragonite Species has a maximum attack of 366. I¿ll give a few examples of figuring DVs below. A simple formula for figuring out DVs: (M ¿ P) / 2 = D Where M = Max stat for species Where P = Your Pok¿mon¿s stat Where D = Your DV. Your Special DV is even, do nothing to the HP DV. Your Special DV is odd, add 2 to the HP DV.

Your Speed DV is even, do nothing to the HP DV. Your Speed DV is odd, add 1 to the HP DV. Your Defense DV is even, do nothing to the HP DV. Your Defense DV is odd, add 4 to the HP DV. Your Attack DV is even, do nothing to the HP DV.

If¿ Your Attack DV is odd, add 8 to the HP DV. Your Hit Point DV (HP DV) is affected by all the other DVs. If it was 16 off the max stat, the DV would be 7, because 15-8 = 7. So if it was 10 off the max stat, the DV would be 15-5, or 10. DVs are determined, simply, by taking how far the stat is off the maximum possible and dividing by two (at level 100). Stats have a 30-point range from maximum to minimum possible on the species. However, the DV for Special will determine how far off from the max stat both Special Attack and Special Defense are.

For instance, an Arbok has a Special Attack of only 228, but a Special Defense of 256. The Special stat has the same DV for Attack and Defense, even if the special attack and Special Defense do not have the same maximum attainable stat. YES NOEach stat (Hit Points, Attack, Defense, Special, and Speed) have a DV assigned to them.
