Smogon online

Pokémon X and Y have sold 14 million copies internationally. However, when you go onto the official Global Link leaderboards, you will find the top ranks dominated by Japanese players.

While detailing the many differences between the two metagames is outside the scope of this article, suffice it to say that it will be different than what you are used to and will test your skill as a teambuilder, as well as your ability to pick the proper

EVs in one particular stat.These Berries might seem like godsends, but they're actually pretty rare and hard to get. There are two ways to get them. First, hop over to the Smogon Wi-Fi Forums and ask for help. Second, get them from the Berry Master, located in the house on Route 208. You are better off going with the first option, since the Berry Master gives a whole lot of Berry types and you'll need to soft reset for these EV-Lowering Berries.Section Eleven - Additional HelpBy this point you should be thoroughly knowledgeable about EVs already! Remember, being knowledgeable means that you can explain something to someone.Anyway, you might be stuck along your way, or just want to ask a question that wasn't highlighted in this guide.
