View source for EV-training locations

Various '''Effort Value-training locations''' are recommended in order to optimize the [[Effort Values|EVs]] apportionment of one's Pokémon. While not categorically required, they are recommended because they have an all-encompassing array of common wild Pokémon yielding EVs for each stat.

==Effort Wald==
{{Main|Kanto Safari Effort Wald}}

Adjoining the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] in [[Fuchsia City]], the Effort Wald is the most tautly organized EV-hunting area in the game. It is sectionalized into two zones, each inhabited by three Pokémon (for a total of six) with distinct [[List of Pokémon by EV Yield|EV yields]].

Despite its optimality for EV-training, some might prefer non-Safari training areas because the Wald charges {{Pdollar}}10,000 for 20-minute sessions. Nonetheless, many are willing to shell out the requisite fee for its convenience as opposed to the scattered public areas.
