Crimson Core Guides: EV Training
🌿 What Sweet Scent Does
Sweet Scent forces an immediate encounter. In PokeMMO, when used in the correct areas, it triggers 5-Pokemon horde battles, making EV training extremely fast and efficient.
Sweet Scent hordes allow you to:
- Encounter 5 Pokemon instantly
- Gain 5x the EVs per battle
- Reach 252 EVs in minutes
Example: A horde of 5 Pokemon that each give 2 EVs = 10 EVs per Sweet Scent use.
Sweet Scent Summary
Sweet Scent is the fastest way to trigger horde battles for EV training. Sweet Scent has overworld PP that can be regenerated with Leppa Berries. You can use a Pokemon that learns the move naturally or rely on the Sweet Scent Ocarina.
