Chapter 17 Effort Value Allocation, Skill Learner
The next morning, Xia Mu and Mu Xiu saw Xia He off.
The original plan was to send it to the airport in Madoka City.
But Xia He said he had to go to the company to prepare everything he needed before setting off, so Xia Mu and Mu Xiuli didn't go with him.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Mu went out, just like the previous few days.
Household matters were left to Mu Xiuli to handle, and she believed that when she returned in the evening, the scene would be quite different.
The Pokémon world needs some minor engineering modifications, unlike the troublesome world of Xia Mu's previous life.
After all, the collaboration between Pokémon and humans greatly improves work efficiency.
……
After a night of rest and planning, Xia Mu devised a more thorough and complete plan.
In short, a new attempt was started last night: cultivating effort values.
In his previous life, when playing games, Xia Mu would usually only clean up and redistribute the effort values after the Pokémon had undergone its final evolution or reached level 100.
Now that he has transmigrated to this world and experienced so much, Xia Mu finally made up his mind to use the power-enhancing agents he bought from the store to strengthen Growlithe, Riolu, and Gyarados, according to the actual situation.
Effort Values also have a special attribute panel.
However, it wasn't initially within Xia Mu's scope of attention.
To put it bluntly, whether in the game or in the first few days after transmigrating, the issue of effort points was postponed because there was no money at the beginning.
If you had the money, who wouldn't want to max out their effort at level 1, making them absolutely invincible at their level and easily defeating those of higher levels?
Raising Pokémon is very expensive; this one operation alone cost two to three million League Coins.
Xia Mu first bought berries that could clean up effort values.
Garlic Berry: Increases the bond between a Pokémon and its Trainer, but reduces the Pokémon's base HP.
Algae Berry: Increases the friendship between a Pokémon and its trainer, but reduces its base Attack stat.
Bibago: Increases intimacy, but reduces base defense points.
Hami Fruit: Increases... intimacy, but reduces base special attack points.
Grapes: Increases...friendliness, but reduces base special defense points.
Eggplant Fruit: Increases... intimacy, but reduces base speed points.
Six kinds of fruit, 1000 of each, stored in the storage space, will be used later.
After all, it was cheap, costing only 10 Alliance Coins per piece, so it only cost 6 Alliance Coins in total.
Cleaning up effort values is simple; it just involves eating a certain amount of fruit and then resetting the messy basic effort values that the three little ones had accumulated to zero.
Then there's the purchasing power enhancement potion.
Considering the intended use and the high price, I didn't buy more.
A special potion costs 1 Alliance Coins for a small bottle, and just like in the game, one bottle can only increase the base effort value by 10 points.
One Pokémon requires 50 bottles, which is 50 League Coins.
Next, you can purchase the corresponding ability feathers. Each feather increases the base effort value by 1 point, thereby maximizing the effort value. The feathers cost 1000 Alliance Coins.
In the end, even with this most economical method, it still cost 51 League Coins for one Pokémon.
The three cost a total of 153 million, plus tree fruits. Just the effort value alone cost Xia Mu 159 million Alliance Coins.
Actually, you can save 2000 League Coins for a Pokémon, because according to the game's settings, the effective Effort Values are only 508 points, with each unit consisting of 4 points.
However, this is not just a game, so Xia Mu still chose to max out 510 points.
Growlithe's Effort Values: [HP (6), Attack (252), Defense (0), Special Attack (0), Special Defense (0), Speed (252).]
Riolu's Effort Values: [HP (0), Attack (252), Defense (0), Special Attack (0), Special Defense (6), Speed (252).]
Gyarados's Effort Values: [HP (0), Attack (252), Defense (0), Special Attack (252), Special Defense (0), Speed (6).]
……
It was still influenced by its personality; otherwise, Riolu would be more suited to dual-attack output, or even a special attack build.
Who wouldn't love a wave of missiles coming out right away?
Unfortunately, their special attack skills are not outstanding.
In addition to allocating effort points, Xia Mu also purchased some skills from the system shop for the three little ones to learn.
Growlithe learned Protect (4000 League Coins) and Thunder Fang (8000 League Coins).
Riolu learned Shadow Claw (30000 League Coins), Absorb Punch (80000 League Coins), and Thunder Punch (50000 League Coins).
Gyarados learned Dark Pulse (80000 League Coins) and Dragon Pulse (80000 League Coins).
The skill portion alone costs a whopping 332,000 Alliance Coins.
And this is just the ordinary level. If it's higher, with a power value of over 100, it would cost at least 100,000 to 200,000 Alliance Coins.
……
After leaving Yuujima City, we continued into the forest.
Today, Xia Mu has an important goal to accomplish: to find and capture a Beedrill with a cheerful personality and sniper traits!
If not, Weedle and Kakuna will do, but the nature must be Jolly and the ability should ideally be Hidden.
The purpose, of course, is to prepare for dealing with Mewtwo, using type and ability boosts to suppress it!
We can't really let Lucario, which evolves from Riolu, be completely countered, right?
Even if Growlithe evolves into Arcanine, it will have no advantage whatsoever; at most, it will only have a little more self-defense capability.
Even with the resurgence of the Red Storm, it is not weak.
What I thought before was definitely more perfect than what I think now.
In fact, after receiving the invitation the day before yesterday, Xia Mu planned to capture a Beedrill to raise.
After searching for several hours and defeating many Beedrill, I still couldn't find one that simultaneously met both the cheerful personality and the sniper characteristics.
Beedrills are inherently fragile. If they cannot reach their full potential in their advantageous areas, even if they are trained to be excellent, they will not be able to enter the top tier and will simply be used to make up the numbers.
Even if Mega Beedrill's ability changes to Adaptability after Mega Evolution, greatly increasing the power of its STAB moves, how can a Mega Beedrill that cannot reach its maximum speed compete with a legendary Pokémon?
In the game, Mega Beedrill can one-shot Mewtwo.
Even Mega Evolution Mewtwo X is not as fast as Mega Beedrill.
But this is the real world. The reason why mythical beasts are mythical beasts is not as simple as the data in the game world reflects.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the arrival of the shiny Magikarp, Natsuki would have continued searching for a good Beedrill yesterday, and might have already caught it.
Having obtained a Shiny Magikarp, I decided to evolve the Shiny Magikarp first yesterday.
Only then do the others come into play.
The red Gyarados is now in its initial stages of development, and there are further breeding strategies for Riolu and Growlithe.
If we still can't catch a suitable Beedrill, then we'll have to settle for second best.
If a character meets one of the following criteria: cheerful personality or hidden traits, and all other stats are acceptable, then he can purchase items from the system shop to enhance them.
