Welcome to Gaia! ::

Depends on whether it was closer to 2 or 3 per battle. You didn't mention whether or not you used vitamins, which also makes a huge difference.

Unsurprisingly, my guess that Budew gives 1 Special Attack EV was right on, so the math is nice and simple:

(EV + Lens) * Pokerus = EV gained per Budew
(1 + 4) * 2 = 10


252 EVs is max, 252 / 10 is 25.2, meaning you need 26 Budew to max out the Special Attack. I'll leave it up to you to decide how many more you need to battle.

No clue. I don't know his nature nor his IVs. However, instead of asking for them I'd like to direct you to this page instead:



It's actually fairly simple to use in your case. Basically, fill in the following fields:

Under "Pokemon Species" put Kadabra, Abra, or Alakazam (whatever he is right now, which I believe you said is a Kadabra)

Under "Nature" type in his nature.

Enter his current Level into the "Level" box


In the "EP" row under the "Sp.Atk" column, type in "252" (the EVs, of course.)


In the green "Individual Values" table, put a number between 0 and 31 in the "Sp.Atk" field (ignore the word "Average")


Now, when you click the "Calculate Stats" button in the lower-right, a bunch of numbers will appear in the "Calculated Stats" table. The number directly beneath "Sp.Atk" is what his Special Attack would be if his IV was whatever you set it to and his EVs are 252.

For example, if I assume it has a Modest nature, is level 16, a Kadabra, and has a 31 Special Attack IV, I get 63 Special Attack. However, if I assume the nature is Adamant and it has a 0 Special Attack IV, I get a 47.
