Believe it or not.. My original favourite Eeveelution was.. Espeon. My best friend's favourite was Umbreon XD

As time went by, though, I ended up having pretty much ALLLLLL the Eeveelutions as favourites (With the exception of Leafeon and Glaceon. I love 'em, but not that much), going from one to the next every few months/years or so. I dunno how Umbreon came to be my favourite... I guess... It just did. Funny. Not that I mind.. Umbreon is awesome <3

For a shorter version: EVs are basically hidden experience points for increasing your stats. Each and every pokemon has a hidden EV value between 1 and 3 for either one or, more rarely two stats. If you defeat that pokemon in battle, you get however many EV points that pokemon has as it's EV value. Once your pokemon gets a certain number in that EV stat, the stat of the pokemon earning pints will go up.
It's essencially a way of min-maxing your pokemon, and unless you're obsessive about having a great team, or planning on Wi-Fi battling/Battle Fronter-ing it's not really necissary.

IVs, on the other hand, give me a headache. I understand them, but I don't worry about whether they make my pokemon awesome or not.
Okay so...well I've heard that there's a difference in their stats if you train them with just Rare Candies or if you train them just by fighting people/enemies. Is that kinda how EVs are?

Yep! Rare Candies don't give out EVs, so a pokemon who is only leveled though Rare candies will have worse stats than one who is leveled by fighting.

BUT, if you have EV trained it, and then given it a Rare Candy to level it up, it will still gain those extra stats :D

So, if I level up, let's say, Rakki (My hopefully future big tank Umbreon along side Moonlight) and I get him to level 90 or 95, but decide to give him the last few level through Rare Candies... I still get better stats then leveling them through Rare Candies alone?

I'm not sure. But if you train him against whatever he needs to get those EVs, but he still hasn't leveled up from that training, you can give him a Rare Candy. He'll still gain those EVs that way.

Yes, he would have better stats. However, unless you were specifically picking out your enemies for their EV points, then those points would more than likely be spread out over a number of stats, as opposed to concentrating them in 2-3 stats in particular.

EDIT: If you like, I can do up an "EV training for Dummies" comic to help visualise the concept. :)

Okay, Senna.

Ghost eeveelution. I drew this out first, and then switched programs and colored it in. It's...bad, but you get the idea. It looked a lot better up close, and even then you can see white splotches. But whatever. I didn't need it to look godly, it was just concept drawing, just because.

Spectereon: (Evolves through Dusk Stone.)
Ghost Hound Pokemon
Ability: Synchronize
Spectereons are created when an abused eevee spirit is forced into a Dusk Stone. No one is sure why only eevees experience this phenomena, many claim it is the creature's genetic make-up. Either way, all scientists agree that spectereons tend to be savage, heartless creatures, however a few rare cases of docile or friendly spectereons have been recorded. The crystal around their neck is the Dusk Stone they were forced into. It keeps them tied to the mortal plane, and if it is taken, they will fade into the Reverse Realm. However, it is difficult to take a Spectereon's Dusk Stone.

...I kind of like this one too.

EDIT: *falls over.* I forgot the picture. >.<

Then I wonder? what would happen if an eevee touched any other stones?
this is my guess
Dawn stone: flying
Shiny stone: steel
Sun stone: Dragon
Moon stone: Fighting

I had a dragon thought up as well. It evolved through Dragon Scale.

Glad you like it, Senna and Moon! If anyone should ever want to RP one at some point, feel free. I'll think I'll stick with my Lunareon, though I really do like this Spectereon. >.<

Hehe, I have my next RP characters already lined up. If I wasn't afraid of having too many characters, I would so roll a Spectereon though.

... I would like your permission to draw one though. :O

Don't be too hard on your art hun. Trust me, my arting skills was pretty bad when I was your age. (Not that I'm really much older. >.>) If I showed you, you would laugh. I know I feel awkward looking at how bad I was. :lol:
Seriously, if you keep at it and start learning all the little tips and tricks, you'll be better than my scribblings at no time. :)

Right another eevee evolution done!
I give you angeon!
((I just kinda used your skeleton if you don't mind azu)
angeon: (evolves at full happiness if espoen or umbreon evolution is cancelled, during day)
guardain angel pokemon
Ability: Synchronize or cloud nine
It is said that a angeon will be born when an eevee wishes to protect its master, if this happens upon a dawn stone the eevee will become an angeon. angeon are forever loyal to thier masters and they would die for them, they are said to be the gaurdains of the everelm (counterpart of the reverseworld. might bring it in if I bring an angeon into the rp)

Grrflrfflr. If I wasn't worried about a char overload, I'd totally bring in a Spectereon to counterbalance your Angeon. All a matter of how safely can I juggle three characters?

>.< Blast it.
