EV Question
 
Ok so suppose my Larvitar w/ PokeRus was level 1 and I battled a Goldeen grew about 7 levels(so hes level 8 now) Now my question is do you get ev's for every level grown or just for one of the levels? Now i'm doing the "piggyback" technique to make larvitar grow levels and he's holding the power item for attack now my other question is do you gain the 4 extra ev's from the power item after every poke beaten or after the whole battle is complete? Please answer fast I really need to know.

No, a Pokemon gets EVs upon obtaining experience points.

youve got to see EVs apart from actual experience and growth. defeating one pokemon gives you the 1 or 2 EVs that belong to that pokemon. for 252 EVs special attack, you have to beat 126 golducks. its as simple as that. with pokerus 63

EV's are not dependant on levels grown, but on the EV values within each Pokemon defeated. It is not related to the amount of EXP. points either.

Another tip: If you get a Macho Brace, you can half the amount of Pokemon you need to beat yet again, so it's 1/4 of the original number.

but that would mainly mean your pokemon has to beat them theirselves and not have an expshare while a stronger pokemon does it, which means your pokemon should be on a high level (so already got trained) or you have to fight weaker pokemon that give less EVs.. anyway.

No you don't. Just send the Pokemon you're EV training in first, then switch out to a stronger Pokemon that can finish the battle. Since both get experience, they get EVs as well (the one that's being EV trained does, anyway). Plus, Pokerus actually affects the growth (Pokerus doesn't affect the EVs gained when you train with the EXP share).

Not at all. With Pokerus and a Power Item, EV training is extremely quick. Much faster than with EXP share.
