The Superguide!

Hello, gathered friends, and welcome to the Superguide! This guide was started abck in the days of Pokestadium, made by myself to help practically anyone who plays Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. Now Pokestadium no longer exists, but I really don't want to lose all the work I've put into the Superguide, and I would like more than just long time members to be able to see it. So, without further ado, I present it to you!

Characterstic Chart

Characteristics are the 4th Generation equivalent of the IV guy in Emerald. They can tell you what your Pokemon's highest IV is, and how high it is...if you know what they mean. If you have one of the characteristics highlighted in green, then you may have one or more perfect IVs.




EV Training Spots

I'm sure if you found this site, you know what EVs are. If you don't, well, I'm not going to tell you ...There is probably a guide on the site that directed you here. Well, I compiled the training spots for Diamond and Pearl...Here they are:

Hit Points -

Location: Route 201
Which Pokémon: Bidoof (1 EV)
This is the fastest place to train hp for me, since the Bidoofs are killed in one hit by
practically everything, and you see tons of them.


Attack -

Location: Acuity Lakefront
Which Pokémon: Snover (1 EV), Machoke (2 EVs)
An awesome place for physical sweepers, since everything else there gives speed evs. It
is my personal favorite place for attack EVs.

Location: Route 212
Which Pokémon: Bibarel (2 EVs), Kricketune (2 EVs)
This place works pretty well, use it if you hate the other one.


Defense -

Location: Ruin Maniac Cave
Which Pokémon: Hippopotas (1 EV), Geodude (1 EV)
Everything here gives Defense EVs, so you don't have to run from anything. It's a really
good spot.

Location: Iron Island
Which Pokémon: Graveler (2 EVs), Onix (1 EV), Steelix (2 EVs)
This spot works pretty well, but I prefer the Ruin Maniac Cave over it. Gravelers are
really easy to find.


Special Attack -

Location: Old Chateau
Which Pokémon: Ghastly (1 EV), Haunter (2 EVs), Gengar (3 EVs)
I train special attackers here, and it works really well. Haunter and Gengar only appear in
the room with eyes, and if you have a GBA Pokemon game in the bottom slot of your DS.

Location: Lost Tower (Route 209)
Which Pokémon: Gastly (1 EV)
This place also works for special sweepers, since the only other Pokemon are Zubat and
Murkrow, which give 1 speed EV.

Location: Resort Area Pond
Which Pokémon: Golduck (2 EV)
Very few, if any, Pokemon appear here besides Golduck. This is a really good place if
you don't like the Old Chateau or don't have a GBA Pokemon game.


Special Defense -

Location: Route 223 (Water)
Which Pokémon: Tentacruel (2 EVs), Mantyke (1 EV)
I don't think there are too many places to train special defense. This place is fine, there
isn't too much variety in Pokemon.


Speed -

Location: Acuity Lakefront
Which Pokémon: Sneasel (1 EV), Meditite (1 EV), Medicham (2 EVs)
As I said, this is one of the best places for physical sweepers, since everything else gives
attack evs.

Location: Caves
Which Pokémon: Zubat (1 EV), Golbat (2 EVs)
Come on, I know you can find a cave that has these guys...since pretty much every cave
has some.

Location: Trophy Garden
What Pokemon: Pichu (1 EV), Pikachu (2 EVs), Staravia (2 EVs)
These guys are easy to find in the garden, and there is, of course, the other random
Pokemon depending on the day, so there might be something else you might want to
catch (Porygon) or something else that gives speed EVs. I prefer the other spots, though.


Nature Chart
This is simply a nature chart, it shows what nature gives a bonus and penalty for what stat. Note that the neutral natures are neutral because they apply a bonus and penalty to the same stat.



Green is neutral, Purple is for physical sweepers, yellow is for special sweepers, orange is for mixed sweepers...normally.
