What The Hell?

I understand the basics of EV Training, but this has confused me.

I was EV Training my Misdreavus as a to-be Special Sweeper/Choice Specs-er when it's a Mismagius. I knew that because it was a low Level, it wouldn't get the full EVs until Level 100, and that would only get about 4 each time it Leveled. When I'd finished. I tried it out on someone. I couldn't KO a Golem even with Choice Specs. I checked the stats and saw it's Special Attack was only 253 or something. I'd seen the max it get's to on Serebii AND Smogon. Itwas supposed to be around 364(I can't remember, though) It was Level 100 because it was a Level 100 Single, but I'd thought the full EV bonus would've set in due to that.

Does anyone know why this is? Cheers.

339 is Mismagius' max Special Attack. With Specs it's probably around 500-510.

And yeah. Like Luigi said, make sure you Ev Train on the Pokemon that typically give you Sp.Atk Evs.

Are you sure that it's Nature boosts Special Attack? Or that it's Iv's are good? Kinda dumb but are you sure that you even Ev Trained it all the way?

It's Nature decreases Special Attack(I tried for a better nature, but I'm too lazy) and I don't know how to check it's IVs. Could I find out by testing Hidden Power on it?

Sorry for my late replies, multitasking is a bitch.

Anyways, since you've Ev Trained it already, I dunno (or if you can) how to check Ivs then. I usually check them as soon as I obtain them. Or hack them. But yeah, Hidden Power's Type and Power can be figured out whilst checking Ivs/Iv Breeding. And also with the decrese of it's Nature against Special Attack, I see why it's Special Attack is so low...

Its max Special Attack with a decreasing nature is only 278, so yeah. :\

Ok, cheers. That's showed me how Natures are important. Thanks again.

Btw, this is M3000, just with a different name.
