Where is all this mis information about IVs and EVs coming from lol
There were IVs and EVs in gen 1-2. Evs gained were calculated by the bst of the defeated mon. Also IVs worked on a scale of 0-15. EVs were unlimited in gen 1-2.
Gen 1 meta is all about sleep/paralysis and quick normal type pokemon. Coverage was important too, pokemon like tauros and persian ran blizzard and bubblebeam for coverage even though they didnt benefit from stab and came from fairly low special stats. You either lead with a sleeper like jynx or eggy or an anti sleeper.
