Mkay here's the deal. I have a Chansey I'm EV training in Sp. Atk and Def.

Now I want 252 Sp. Atk/252 Def/6 HP

It has an immunity to PokeRus (meaning it has already had it) and is holding a Power Lens, just for now.

I also gave 10 Sp. Atk pills and 10 Def pills to it, breaking my EV training down a bit.

so now its 152/152/6

It's at level 29 now, but I started at level 26 training on Gastlys (10 EVs per kill due to PokeRus and Power Lens) and Haunters (12 EVs per kill due to PokeRus and Power Lens). I counted each kill and it should have exactly 152 EVs for Sp. Atk.

Now every time I leveled up, there wasn't a DRAMATIC difference, but I heard you won't really find out til it reaches level 100. True or False?

Now here are my questions:

1. At times, during that Sp. Atk EV training, I MAY have gotten lost of track of counts per kill, maybe leaving me 10 EVs behind, is there a way to find out that I have it all in there right now?

2. Would it be safe to train on regular Pokemon to level up my chansey and THEN move on to EV training for Def without harming any of my EVs?

3. Is it safe to use rare candies to level it up to 100 AFTER I know all my EVs have been set?

4. AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?! >_<

Please answer these questions, don't give me a whole guide on what EVs ARE, because that would be pointless.

Nor do I want any suggestions on how "properly" to distribute Chansey's EVs. I have my reasons why I chose this distribution and not putting it in HP.

Please Help! All reasonable answers will be appreciated. =]

Now here are my questions:

1. At times, during that Sp. Atk EV training, I MAY have gotten lost of track of counts per kill, maybe leaving me 10 EVs behind, is there a way to find out that I have it all in there right now? Nope, that's why it's a good idea to keep track of them on paper or something.

2. Would it be safe to train on regular Pokemon to level up my chansey and THEN move on to EV training for Def without harming any of my EVs? Mm, not really. Unless you want to spend time finding a lot of -EV berries and then EV'ing Chansey again. Don't remember the names of those berries.

3. Is it safe to use rare candies to level it up to 100 AFTER I know all my EVs have been set? Yep.

4. AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?! >_<

My answers are in bold. But it would've been a good idea to ask this in the Q&A thread of Strategies and Movesets.

1. At times, during that Sp. Atk EV training, I MAY have gotten lost of track of counts per kill, maybe leaving me 10 EVs behind, is there a way to find out that I have it all in there right now? - There is no way to check, which is why it is a good idea to either write down your kills or use the counter app on your Poketch.

2. Would it be safe to train on regular Pokemon to level up my chansey and THEN move on to EV training for Def without harming any of my EVs? - No, because if you level up on normal Pokémon you will still gain EVs. If you want to do that then fine, but you'll have to grow lots of Ev-reducing berries.

3. Is it safe to use rare candies to level it up to 100 AFTER I know all my EVs have been set? Sure.

4. AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?! >_< You seem to be.

Since this should have been asked in the Q&A thread, I'll close it.
