So, here is the thread that will give you all a "quick guide" to the "slang" that is used in the VG/VGC.
I will list what I know and I will add in more as it is submitted/discovered/created/ect.......
If there is one you would like to add in- post it and it will be added into here:
MISC:
FC= Friend Code. You can trade these to interact with other Pokemon Players to trade and battle. Pokémon versions X/Y rely on your Nintendo 3DS's FC system which it different then past Pokémon game versions.
SZ/FS= Safari Zone/Friend Safari
EV= Effort Values Definition: These points are applied to a stat to increase that stat by adding one (1) stat to the stat total when you are done raising a Pokémon to the desired level.
IV= Individual Value Definition: This is a number in the Pokemon's Base Stats that ranges from 0-31, 31 being the highest benefit to the Pokémon's over all end result to be able to max out that stat with using EV's for boosting the Pokémon's performance in battle.
EV Spread= The way the EV Points are distributed among the base stats for totals for an advantage in battle such as Speed.
IV Spread= The desired range from 0-31 for an increase or decrease to the over all Base Stat total to max out or be at the least highest total for up to and including level 100 in a neutral natured Pokemon.
EV Trained= A Pokémon that has had all EV points used in specific stats and can no longer benefit from further points being applied to a stat.
510= The total number of EV Points available to a Pokémon for boosting a stat. Four (4) EV Points are needed to add +1 stat increase. You can battle wild Pokémon to earn EV Points, in which those Points very in amount and type that go towards raising a Pokémon's stats. You are able to control these Points by the type of Pokemon you battle against.
Shiny= A Pokémon with swag!
HA= Hidden Ability
Grunt= A low level (5 or under) Pokémon that is for trading, and mostly used for trading between your own games for transferring, or to a friend who needs only a Pokémon to give you a Pokémon for any reason.
Event Pokémon= A Pokémon that is limited in distribution via a location/Wi-Fi, or an Event such as World's. There is something Special (like a special attack it does not normally learn in the game) about these Pokémon- keep your eyes and ears open for these!
Base Stats= The determining factor in the maximum stats total value for a Pokémon's leveling up process. No EV's applied, no influential nature, just the total stat numbers for normal experience gained in leveling up.
Example Base Stat:
Bulbasaur
These are the totals at max for Bulbasaur for its Base Stats.
Level 100
Nature: Hardy (a neutral nature in which no stat gains a +10 or a -10 increase/decrease bonus)
Hit Point= 45 max total: 294
Attack= 49 max: 197
Defense= 49 max: 197
Special Attack= 65 max: 229
Special Defense= 65 max: 229
Speed= 45 max: 189
The total Base stat over all is: 318
A Pokémon with a Base Stat totaling more then Bulbasaur's 318 will be better at battles then Bulbasaur in comparison, therefore Base Stats are a way to choose the best option for building a team by using the Base Stat scale as a guideline.
HP= Hit Point
Att. = Attack
Def.= Defense
Sp.Att= Special Attack
SP.Def.= Special Defense
Spd.= Speed
HM Slave= Any Pokémon that can learn 4 HM moves to navigate the game's map. Bidoof is a good HM Slave because it can learn Surf, Rock Smash, Cut, and Strength, moves needed to get around in the game and it is almost always in your party.
Sweeper= Pokemon that hit hard
Tank/Wall= Pokemon that can take many hits
Lead/Scout= The Pokemon that normally leads the team to setup
Breeding:
EM= Egg Move
quad= Pokémon with 4 31 IV stats
quint= Pokémon with 5 31 IV stats
Flawless= 6 31 IV stats
Untouched/UT= A Pokémon that has NOT obtained any EV Points applied to any stat by any means.
Ball= The type of Pokeball the Pokemon has when captured or breed- or for a specific reason such as an Event Pokémon.
Attacks:
SR= Stealth Rocks
Spinner= Pokemon with Rapid Spin/Defog
Screener/Dual Screener= Pokemon with Reflect and or Light Screen
Entry Hazzards= Stealth Rocks, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web
DD= Dragon Dance
HP= Hidden Power
BP= Bullet Punch
SD= Swords Dance
EQ= Earthquake
STAB= Same Type Attack Bonus= When a Pokémon uses an Attack that is the same type the Pokémon is, in which that Attack will gain more power of an increase with 1.5 times added when executed in battle.
Battles:
Format= The rules used for battles at Events that is expected by all participants to follow in order to be able to play in the Event tournament. Your team must comply to the rules in order to be eligible to be used for that specific Event.
Singles= When only one Pokemon is out on the battle field (both yours and your opponents) at a time for the duration of the battle.
Doubles= When you and your opponent send out 2 Pokemon onto the battle field at the same time. The battle will continue until all Pokemon from one team is eliminated, even when you or your opponent has only one Pokemon remaining.
Triples= When you have 3 Pokemon out in battle from you team, and the battle continues until all Pokemon have fainted on a team.
(this is all the time I have atm, more to come but feel free to post the slang you know and I will add it in here!)
