EV Training Question
 
Do EVs work the same as EXP points in the sense that every pokemon who participates in the battle receives them? For example, let's say I wanted to EV train my low-level Milotic in SP. Defence and I was fighting on route 230 where there are a whole bunch a Tentacruel. (who give me 2 Sp. Defence each). If I trained my Milotic with the "Switch In, Switch Out" method until she was strong enough to fight on her own, would she still get the EV points even though she wasn't the Pokemon who defeated the Tentacruel? If so, how many would she get? The full 2 points, or would she split it with the Pokemon who did defeat the Tentacruel? Thanks in advance!

It's not split. Your Milotic and the other pokemon who fights (unless their EVs are already maxed out) will each get the 2 points. :)

Good to hear. I'm so happy that it's not they only get 1 EV each...that would be stupid :P
Thanks!

As an extension, Exp shares also give full EVs to the carrier. Give them to an entire team and they'd all get the full allowance of EVs :)

EDIT: As a random thought, what would they do in the case of sharing 1 EV? Confusing :P

I don't know :P That's why I was kinda like "...wait a minute..." after I posted this. But I thought maybe they could have split that one? I don't know lol

I believe a full explantion about EVs exists in the Strategies & Movesets stickies, where this belongs.
