We continue in our Guides and Tricks section by talking about Story Points, nintenderos; this time we will explain how to quickly increase our defense points in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple.
First, we’ll talk about the different ways to increase the stress points. Later we will talk specifically about the Defendand we will tell you how to increase it to the maximum in a short time.
Different Ways to Increase Story Points
Roughly, There are two essential ways to increase Effort Points in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple: Use items, such as vitamins or feathers, or fight against other pocket monsters.
The first option is faster, but requires a fairly high investment of money, and it is that each bottle of vitamins, although it increases a characteristic by 10 points, costs 10,000 Pokérooms. On the other hand, the feathers increase by 1 point for each characteristic, but to find them we will have to go through the Paldea region, so it can be a somewhat tedious task.
For this reason, maybe the best optionor at least the most balanced in terms of effort and monetary expenditure, is to fight with pokemon. In this sense, the option to send Pokémon is very interesting, since it allows us to defeat different pocket monsters without having to fight one against one.
Taking this as a reference, if we want to farm our Pokémon’s Defense faster in Scarlet and Purple, we have to get the Cinto Recio objectwhich can be purchased at Delibazar in Paldea.
If we equip this item to one of our Pokemon, it will get 8 extra effort points in Defensetherefore it is strongly recommended if we want to increase this functionality.
Pokémon that we must defeat if we want to increase our Defense
We have already mentioned that by defeating Pokémon we can increase our Effort Points and with the Strong Belt equipped we will get 8 additional Defense points. But if what we want is to get the maximum possible points in Defensewe will have to defeat these Pokémon and their evolutions:
- Sheller
- sudowoodo
- Pineco
- charcoal
- hippos
- Klefki
- Bergmite
- Mareania
- Sandygast
- Rolycoly
- stonjourner
- Escape
- tarountula
- Nacli
- Klawf
- Orthworm
- prick
If we defeat these Pokémon, we will surely get effort points in defense. If we have also equipped the item we mentioned, we will greatly increase the benefits.
Best Places to Farm Defense
We’ve already discussed the best Pokémon to farm Defense in Scarlet and Purple; Now it’s time to talk about the best places. In this direction, We recommend going to Rostiz Desertthe place where we faced Longfang or Ironfang, depending on which version of the game you played.
Here, we can find Pokémon like Hippopotas, Hippowdon, Nacli and Orthworm. if you have pokemon scarletAdditionally, you can defeat Stonjourner, exclusive to this build. By defeating these pocket monsters, we will obtain 1 or 2 Effort Points in Defense; If, in addition, we have the Strong Belt equipped, we can get between 9 and 10 points for each Pokémon.
A good trick to control the number of EVs we get is to equip our Pokémon with the Strong Belt and defeat Orthworm, Hippowdon or Stonjourner. With each defeat we will add 10 effort points in defense, which will allow us to control the amount of EV we have quite easily.
What do you think, Nintendos? Pokémon is one of the most successful sagas in the world of video games, so all this information is always useful.
