: Your puppets' IVs and natures suck. What do you do?
: AngelG No. 55 January 23, 2016, 12:53:37 PM
Inspired by my team of fail and suck (http://thpp.supersanctuary.net/forum/index.php?topic=202.msg3985#msg3985), I ask all of you this question. Tweaked is far from impossible even with this team, but I can't help but feel dissatisfied with the bad RNG rolld.

Unnamed dev here, I just ignore it and deal with it unless the mon is under-performing relative to its peers in battle, in which case I replace it.

If it's egregiously bad in the desired stats I might just catch another one but I usually won't bother.

Theoretically, you could just EV train the bad stats to an acceptable level (or max them out), but that can be very time-consuming. That and I'm not sure if there are even any places to EV Train in Tweaked (I'm one of the few that still haven't played it).

Otherwise, I'd just catch another one / reset until I get something acceptable (unless this is a Nuzlocke, in which case EV Train it, deal with it, or use it as fodder at some point).

If you dont mind doing the ingame trades, they tend to have pretty good IVs.
you can get a CElly with nice IVs (perfect hp and Attack, everything else is like an A or B i think except for Special Attack) before the 2nd gym even, if you know what you're doing (Go to Bill, go catch a CParsee in Yamame's cave, go through cave to trade, etc.)

as a nuzlocker, I've learned to live with awful IV rolls. it's only in really, REALLY bad cases where I just dump a puppet into the PC based purely on it's IV's & natures. I posted this in the awful luck thread but this is what I mean when I think something is bad enough to box.

In most cases, you can generally use EV's to patch up any issues your puppets have, IV wise. Unless the hack has disabled EV gain, in which case, uh.. good luck I guess? (I know tweaked does not do this)

This is all fine and dandy, but WHAT ARE THE EV TRAIN SPOTS IN TWEAKED NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW

That's a pretty good thing to include the readme folder actually, since I kind of had to do that manually for UnNamed. XD

Why don't you post something about them in the thread for your game?

Not give a shit since i don't give a shit about natures and IVs, i'm just a casual player.
