^ yep, I think it is easier to breed though, plus these berries are not available yet in b/w.

A basic guide to EVs, IVs and natures

As an amateur Breeder, I have a few things to add to this.
First off, the Pokerus is a bit more useful than you make it out to be, albeit a bit tricky to get. You can pass the pokerus to POKEMON AND EGGS in your party by battling. Any pokemon with a pokerus may pass it onto any pokemon they are adjacent to in the party ( place them in slot 3-4 for best results). And no, they don't have to participate in the battle itself, just being present in the party is sufficient.
Additionally, I believe the Pokerus doubles EV gained after the power item (allegedly, I've been having trouble confirming this) is accounted. Basically, that should make 1 EV with the corresponding Power item and a pokerus = 10 ev, which can cut your work in half.
I do have an important question however about EV-raising items. Does anyone know if Carbos, Health Wings, et. al. are affected by power items and/or Pokerus?

I believe I am correct in thinking that switching a pokemon out of battle when it is holding a lucky egg, will only gain experience and no effort values?
because I use this method to get movesets and high levels before I begin EV training (apart from vitamins, I will use those straight away as they're very easy to regulate), as it makes the whole process a lot easier.
Actually, you kind of shot yourself in the foot with that one. You receive EV anytime you would get exp.
If you want the pokemon's moves faster, I recommend keeping it in it's unevolved state as long as possible (when applicable). The best ways to level up without adding EV's are the daycare and Rare candies via pickup. In the meantime, give them placeholder attacks that will get them through the training, then you can grind exp for the rest of your moveset.
So for an example, I want Oshawott to learn Swords Dance (level 41), first thing I do is stick him in the daycare until he's at about level 20, then start grinding EV without evolving. Once I hit level 41, I now evolve and have Samurott lvl 42 with swords dance instead of waiting for lvl 57.

Just a question, I'm trying to max the special atk and the speed of my Larvesta and I read that a power lens (A Pokémon held item that promotes Sp. Atk gain on leveling, but reduces the Speed stat) can help gain +4EVs/defeated opponent for special atk.
Can I know how using a power lens will affect my Larvesta's speed (EV or otherwise)? Thanks!

It just slows you temporarily in battle. ( Such as Iron Ball ) Your actual Speed stat shouldn't suffer.

Oh. That's awesome.. Thanks once again!

You run around, find wild pokemon, fight them, faint them, and run to the pokemon center and talk to nurse joy who will tell you if you have it.
The question is, how do you get it?
You can randomly receive it from battling wild pokemon (i think the pokemon have to make contact, so physical attacks would be better) or from trading with someone awesome, like me.
also, since you seem so interested, the pokerus is no longer contagious as of midnight. The only way to prolong it is to put the contagious pokemon in your box overnight, which will prolong it indefinitely.

This or the completely simpler and easier way; have a friend who already has it trade a pokemon with it. This way you can infect your own Pokemon.You run around, find wild pokemon, fight them, faint them, and run to the pokemon center and talk to nurse joy who will tell you if you have it.

In black and white were is the guy who tells you about your pokemons IVs. The guy in the battle tower is my friend

Just in the entrance area of the battle subway, he looks like an ace trainer if I remember correctly.

Yes it is possible, check a few pages back on this thread.

Yup. Or much a much easier way would be, 10 carbos, 10 pritein, 2 stunfisk, 30 lilipups (holding power bracer), 2 lilipups (not holding power bracer), 25 basculins (holding power anklet), 1 basculiin (not holding power anklet). This way is a bit more complicated but much faster!

It will work exactly the same only it will be a lot slower to do, if you are unexperienced, however, then what k13 said may seem simpler. Regarding the exp share I have an in depth post on the matter a few pages back on this very thread.
