EV training question

[AegisFLCL]

Hi, been ev training my party lately, and was wondering, say i was ev training for def, maxed out the 252 ev's u could get for that stat, if i kept on battling pokemon with def ev + and hadnt maxed out my total ev points yet, (510) would i detract possible ev's i could get for another stat if i kept battling defense ev pokemon?

Yes, as long as you fight pokemon, you get EV's, as long as they haven't been maxed out.

so does that mean, i can no longer max out the ev's i can get for my atk stat?

EVs from one stat are maxed out at 255. If you kept battling pokemon that gave defense EVs, then you'd gain 3 more EVs and hit 255 for defense. You'd still have 255 EVs to spend on other stats though, regardless of how many other defense EV pokemon you fight.

I think what you need to do is max out for defence which you should know is go beat say 38 geodudes 77 if you don't have pokerus anyways i think if you max out your defence and then after you beat 38 or whatever move onto attack other wise it won't be max

You would probably not want to go for 255 per stat, as 252 can be rounded by 4, so 252/252/6 EV spread is the way to go.

Thank you, just the answer i needed!

No, you don't waste EV's if you fight for them after you max out.
