When EV training...

Does the Pokemon you want EV trained have to win the battle? Or can you throw it out first, return it and send out a more powerful Pokemon and beat it.
 
The latter of the two is true.
 
EV points are given whenever EXP is, so yes.
 
Yeah, the pokemon doesn't even have to be out in the battle, just slap an exp share on the pokemon, and it will get the EV's from the pokemon you fight. But I prefer to throw out my pokemon infront of the opponent for the sake of battle, anyways.
 
The pokemon gets the same amount of EV points it would normally get too, just thought that should be cleared up.
 
I usually toss the pokemon in the DayCare to gain some levels, so that way, it can actually kill the wild pokemon
 
If you throw the Pokemon out, then throw another one out and defeat it, the one that you took out will get Ev points.
 
OK so just to get things straight: If I put a macho brace on a Pokemon, throw it out to fight a zubat and then return it and beat the Zubat with a different Pokemon, this first Pokemon will get two EVs?

Yes it will get 2 EV's. The Pokemon you swapped in with the first one would get 1 EV point as well.

Ok, new question:

The way I saw it, if I were to give my Scyther 10 carbos, it would gain 100 effort points in speed which meant 25 added points to his speed stat. But when I leveled him up that didn't happen, he just got +2. How does it actually work?
 
This should help you:

VERY IMPORTANT—Stat gain from EVs is NOT added up all at once, but gradually as your Pokemon gains levels. At LV 100, your Pokemon will have all the stat gain from EVs it is supposed to, but you may not see large stat gains all at once. For example, if you have a low level Pokemon battle 20 Zubat, you will not necessarily see a +5 gain when it levels up. However, you probably WILL see this kind of gain in a LV 50 Pokemon that’s just starting to battle.

Here's another example, since people still seem confused on this point:

Since EV-training adds +63 in a fully trained stat TOTAL, you're not going to see huge leaps and bounds of stats every level. People new to EV-training expect to see +10 in the EV-trained stat every level, but that just doesn't happen since the max is 63. EV-training still makes a difference, but it doesn't add hundreds of points to the stat. Seeing only a +1 or +2 to a stat is NORMAL, and doesn't mean EVs aren't working.
