EV Training

Ok, so I just caught my first shiny, and I want to make sure that I EV train it right. Now regarding EV training I've got some mixed messages, do I start EV training from the begining or do I start at lvl. 100? Is EV training completely useless after lvl. 100? How should I do it to Ev train it *perfectly*?
 
EV Training is useless at level 100, since it won't get any benefit. You either have to start EV training as soon as you get it, or use Berries to get rid of the EV's it's gotten, so it's easier to just start. EV training it perfectly depends on which Pokemon you are training, the moves you want to give it, its role in your team, etc.
 
EV's add to the amount off stats your pokemon gets when it levels up. So at level 100 it's useless. You know how when you level up your poke and it might say hp+1. That means your hp has increased by 1. Now if you ev train in hp the amount added is increased. I have seen some pokemon that ev train in hp and by the time they are level 70 they are gaining +37 in some of their stats. (This however was on a rayquaza)
 
Yep. Start right away. Also f you accidently battle a wrong pokemon ((wrong ev) they have berries that lower ev's.
 
So if I just encounter a pokemon does it count as an EV or do I have to defeat it? (So if it isn't the correct EV I can just run away, does that work?)

Thank you, that helps. So, the lower the level the more efficient the EV training?

Not necessarily, it's just better to start earlier because then you won't get random EV's filled in instead of the ones you want. If you wanted to start at a higher level, you could just Rare Candy it or delete the EV's it gained with Berries.

And, only if the Pokemon is defeated does it count for EV's. So, yes, you can run away and it won't count.
 
And if I caught it at say, lvl. 26 it would have a blank EV. Slate? Or would I have to use berries to erase it's EVs?
 
Whenever you catch/hatch/receive it, it has a "blank slate" for EV's, yes, no matter what the level is.
 
Okay, I'll quote myself from another thread.

Zubats give 1 EV point to Speed..

Kill/Defeat 4 Zubats...that's 4 EVs...when you level up you'll see +1...on SPD..

But if you Kill/Defeat 8 Zubats, regardless of you level, when you level up you'll see +2 on SPD..

I think that's how it works...

But since there's only 255 per stat(can't be divided by four) the rest are scrap..

You get higher pluses since it takes a longer time to kill zubats to level up..so you rack up EV points..and get higher pluses...

Let's have an example..

You're level 20...you haven't killed a single SPEED EV giver...

You kill 8 zubats...you level up..you see +2 on speed..

then

You're level 40...you haven't killed a SPEED EV giver(in this example, Zubat)..

You need to kill about 40 zubats in order to level up..you gain..EXP then level up..you see +10 there..

That's about it..but then there's PKRS..which doubles the EV points pokemon give..

So it only take 20 zubats..in order to get +10..because you have PKRS...

So when you catch a pokemon, it has blank EVs..and you need to fill that up.
