Effort Values Question

hey everyone ive read the page on effort values, and i think understood it, but there is a question i would like to ask... Do u have to start raising your EVs straight away or can u do it like after u beat the game, and raise it up between the lvls 60 -100?? or is it better to do it when your low lvl.

thx for your replies and sorry if im in the wrong section of the forums.

I'm not sure it really matters to be honest. The way I think it works is that the EVs are gradually added on to the stats as they level up, not all at once, so doing it from a lower level is probably better.
 
EVs come with Experience Points. So, by the time you beat the game, your Pokémons would have been EV trained already (in the wrong stats). You will have to breed them to start afresh or give them EV reducing berries (Emerald only).
 
soo, i would have to finish the game with one pokemon, then if i want that one still, i would have to breed it then start from scratch again>??, and if i do, wat if i have trouble finding a pokemon to grind to help my EV for health?? and wat about exp share will the share the EVs awelll?
** also can i only raise on EV up per pokemon? eg. only health or attack or am i able to do both?

Exp.Share puts evs on both, for example, if you beat a Roselia which gives 2 special attack evs, the pokemon the beat it and the pokemon that has exp share both gain 2 special attack evs, evs aren't split, as long as you gain exp, you gain evs too, its much easier to get a ditto or collecting some ev reducing berries than too beat the game with 1 pokemon.
 
i think ill plan to beat the elite 4 with my starter then breed it, then beat higher pokemon and have the exp. share on the pokemon that i want to lvl and get the right EV. but i got a few questions...

1. what if i cant find the pokemon with the right EVs or i can find them 1 every 3 pokemon, so do i kill em all(doest matter wat EVs) or run from the ones that doesnt give me the right EVs.

2. how long do i have to raise EVs for and how much stats can i do it for. Eg. can only raise up health or can i do all of them.

thx for ya help

Just breed all your pokemon anew once you beat the game. That way you have access to any area you need to get to, which is handy for reaching certain pokemon.
 
You should start a proper EV training after you beat the game, you can do it before but it will be harder, also, the pokemon you beat the game with aren't good to ev train anyway. If you want to EV train your starter just leave it in the box and train it after you beat the game, otherwise it will get the wrong training.
 
If you already have the right nature just beat the game then give it stat reduceing berries (Kelpsey, Qualot etc.) cause there is just to many trainers with offset Pokemon so its much easier to do it later
 
You must kill only the Pokèmons that give the right EVs. If you meet others, you must run away.

You can raise all your stats at the same time.
