I don't do this in gens 1 or 2, but any games after I try to guide what types of EVs my mons get. I don't specifically EV train/grind but I will let a physical attacker die against say like a Roserade and switch in my special attacker to absorb the EVs instead. I go to the point of even using mons with bad matchups or no supereffective moves on the target just so I can absorb the appropriate EVs. I look up which EVs pokemon yield before k.o.ing if I don't know. Obviously it doesn't have to be perfect and a small handful of inappropriate evs get through but the thought of having like a weavile with hundreds of special attack EVs from killing psychic types or any mon with just random EVs bothers me. That's why I usually stick to mixed attackers as much as possible so I don't have to be as strict. It honestly makes me enjoy the games less because i get so fixated on it. I know it doesn't really even matter all that much but my OCD/autism will not let me not do this.
>>47639308>Trainer ID must end in 5 or 0, and I will reset for thisI don't reset for specific numbers but I prefer if it has some 7s or just has an interesting number sequence. I only reset if my ID has 13 or just ugly numbers in it. Last time I played oras I got 16667. I reset immediately so my game wasn't cursed. (Not joking)
>no items in battle, set modeEverytime. Should be standard.
>during the mid game, catch Pokemon with at least decent IVs (around 15 to their important stats), natures are flexible as long as they're not detrimental, neutral natures are often greatHoly shit are you me? I do this almost exactly. I love neutral natures and I usually try to get IVs at least in double digits.
