Ev training

I'm new at ev training, so i'm not sure how this works. I've checked on the main site, but I can't find an answer.
I've been ev training my Weavile for his speed. I ev trained him for a while, and then saved and checked how many carbos I could give him. I could only give him 4 carbos, so I did and I thought I was done. But then I was ev training for his speed for a while longer for the heck of it, and his speed stat went up by 8. So, when you use the vitamins, and your pokemon only takes a few, does that mean that that stat has all of its evs? Those 4 carbos were the only vitamins that I used on my Weavile. And I have only been ev training him in attack and speed.
 
This really shouldn't be here...
Anyway, the vitamins will give your pokemon up to 100 EV's in their stat. Thus, if you already have 45 EV's, you will only be able to give your pokemon 5 vitamins for that stat. However, then you will only have 100 EV's. For stuff like weavile, you would want 252.
 
Any Pokemon can have 255 EVs in any one stat. A Pokemon can have a max of 510 EVs spread across all their stats. For each 4 EVs you have in a stat, they will gain 1 point in that stat at level 100. Since 252 is the highest number that is divisible by 4, consider it the max.

With vitamins you can bring any stat up to 100, but no higher. That's why you want to give it 10 vitamins for that stat before you do anything, it will give 100 EVs to that stat, making EV training quicker.

Then by fighting against enemies that give the specific EV you are looking for, bring that stat up to 252 (or whichever number you're aiming for). Here's a nice list/guide for EV training.

You'll want to keep careful track of how many EVs as going over in a stat may mean one less point in another stat later on down the road. Though you do have a 2 point cushion. Just read that guide and you'll be good to go!
 
Wow, thanks a lot you guys! I've been stupid with training my Weavile. He had pokerus, and I just ev trained him. I should have given him proteins and carbos first and then ev trained him. Then I would be done ev training him now... oh well.
