    Then the cheevos description is a bit misleading if all stats should be maxed. Will try though and update
    ErebosGoD 19 Sep 2024 22:13
    for anyone wondering, you really have to max all stats stat exp

    If you candy up to 100... prepare to grind for this. just keep going in mew2 cave.

    Got mewtwo to lvl 100 grinding on cerulean cave, kept beating them up for a coulpe hours and nothing. Do I need to do something special?
    Merricide 28 Sep 2024 05:49
    If you went for Mewtwo instead of your starter, you’ve got a LOT further to go. You’re starting from 0 EVs when you would’ve already been halfway done from beating all the trainers up to this point.

    Did it with mewtwo, a little pain grind, but some hours after 100 it popped.

    Man this is an absolute slog.
    wvpinball 4 Oct 2024 17:52
    What exactly needs to happen? Is the Stat Exp something face-up to the player? Or do I just need to slog battles and all that math is done in the background?

    Just to follow up, I did not realize that putting a pokemon into the PC Box then withdrawing it would update its stats data...

    If I calculated it correctly, each E4 run gives: {HP: 1886, ATK: 2274, DEF: 2172, SPD: 2106, SPE: 2090}, if you have a mon that can solo all of it. I'd say E4 grinding is more efficient than Cerulean Cave, because you don't have to walk around a bunch and get 26 kills with minimal walking.
    E4 itself pays for any items you might need to beat it cleanly and is a good way of earning money for the two pricey Game Corner achievements anyway.

    Assuming vitamins up to 25600, and HP being the slowest, it takes ⌈(65535-25600)/1886)⌉ = 22 E4 runs.

    As others have said the kindest way to do this one is to only use your starter and nothing else throughout the whole run. But if you're a complete melon like me and just went with random mons for the fun of it, this is about the amount of grind required. To check which mon has the highest stat exp currently, just use PkHx.

    I ended up doing this with a Rhydon of all things.

    Just put my save file into PkHx and my Blastoise is maxed out all his stats at 65k and this didn't trigger... been grinding this a few times a day for a couple weeks with fast forward... no wonder its not popping cause I already hit the max and it didn't trigger... Thanks again set creator for managing to waste more of my time when it comes to your shitty bugged out glitched sets, last one was "Living Itemfinder"...

    WHERE'S MY F%#$ %!! RIBBON!?!?!?
    Merricide 22 Oct 2024 20:51
    @OneDeep88 It is NOT that serious my guy... A lot of other people are getting it, today even. I took a peek at your cheevos for this set and it looks like you have to do a new run anyways for those missables, so just try it again. If you're that tilted though, I'm sure one of the devs wouldn't mind checking your save data and either finding the issue or manually granting it.

    If you want to master a game like this, you really have to have patience, so just take a breath and give it another shot.

    @Merricide You don't have to start everything from the beginning, this achievement doesn't have to happen when you start everything from the beginning of the game and just train another pokemon
    Merricide 22 Oct 2024 22:36
    @elvisshippuuden01 Oh I know, but with the high likelihood they have to reset for the set level cheevos, it'd probably be easier to go for that starter only strat again instead of grinding a pokemon near 0 and then reset.
    OneDeep88 23 Oct 2024 20:53
    @Merricide Its kind of serious for me, do you go to work and not get paid? I put in the time and effort why has a few of these achievement's been bugged to hell that causes me frustration and waste hours of my time, not to mention I'm not so young anymore, I'm very aware of my own mortality and trying to retrogame it up before I turn to dust. So yes things that cause me to waste my time for work I already put in aggravates the hell out of me.. not to mention achievements where you need 3rd party apps to see your progress probably shouldn't be an achievement to begin with.

    If i didn't download PkHx I never would of known my Blastoise hit max and it never triggered.. I would of kept trying... day after day, week after week, cause that's what the grind is right, invis stats that u just battle to increase.

    With all that being said, now that I can properly see my progress I'm going for this again with different mon's and gonna try to get the ribbon and Cerulean captures then do a playthrough on red and hopefully master this once and for all
    Merricide 23 Oct 2024 21:37
    @OneDeep88 Oh believe me, I’m usually the one championing this sentiment. I achievement hunt outside of RA and the kind of brainless “do this for 2 weeks straight for a 1% chance” kinda garbage is a damn good reason why DevComp should exist. That and timed exclusives that never get distributed again are the two things I despise most.

    That said, there are much worse cheevos on this site, hell, in this set that yes, a bug like that sucks real hard, but it’s a minor inconvenience by comparison. Not saying to excuse it and those others, but just that it could be way worse.

    Idk how easy it’d be, but perhaps Blaze could add a tracker? Like a leaderboard popup whenever you view a summary?
    elvisshippuuden01 23 Oct 2024 22:37
    @OneDeep88 Guy, you don't need to do all this, restart the whole game, and it's easier to use another pokemon, get plenty of vitamins, and then use a lot of Rary Candy, one day after this achievement you'll be able to have it.

    I did it using Gyarados. Leveled him ip to Lv70 in Elite Four, because I needed to raise funds anyway to complete the Celadon Game Corner cheevos. After this, I did the remainder of the grind on Cerulean Cave until the cheevo popped when I was Lv95. Gyarado's moveset is very solid for the Pokemons found in Cerulean Cave: Surf, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Bite.
    SpookyNoob 7 Nov 2024 17:23
    This is a grind. I recommend using your starter pokemon for this. Go to Cerulean Cave and start defeating wild pokemon over and over. The goal is to max out your HP, Attack, Defence, Speed, and Special EV stats. Each pokemon defeated will give you a tiny bit of xp for these stats. Even if the pokemon you're using is level 100 you still earn xp for these stats. Took me maybe less than an hour with my Blastoise while using turbo/speed up mode in retroarch. Every now and then I viewed my Pokemons progress using this save stat checker: https://github.com/junebug12851/pokered-save-editor/releases. This will show you how close each EV stat is till max.
