Breeding And EV Training – Competitive Pokemon Explained Part 3

For the final episode of our competitive Pokemon Sword and Shield mini-series, Kallie dives into Pokemon breeding and EV training.

Even if you’ve played every Pokemon game, there’s a good chance you’ve never played it competitively. That’s because competitive Pokemon has a high barrier to entry, and there’s a lot you need to know just to start battling. That said, competitive battling is exciting and incredibly rewarding, making it a worthwhile pursuit, and Sword and Shield are a great place to get started.

For the final episode of our guide to Competitive Pokemon, Kallie dives into Pokemon breeding and EV training. This video will teach you how to efficiently breed the perfect Pokemon, teach it the right moves, and EV train it.

In GameSpot’s Pokemon Sword and Shield review, Kallie Plagge wrote, "In collecting, battling, and exploring, Sword and Shield cut out the bloat and focus on what makes these pillars of the Pokemon games so captivating in the first place. You’re not held back by overly complicated back-end systems or hoops to jump through; from the outset, you can start wandering the Galar region, seeing its new Pokemon, and trying out its new battle strategies with very little in your way. This leaves you free to enjoy what Pokemon is all about, and that makes for an incredibly strong showing for the series’ proper debut on Switch."
