4th Gen EV Training/Power Item help?

[FatalSyndrome]

I feel like a n00b asking this, but I am sort of new to using power items. Currently I'm EV training one of my Pokemon in attack and speed, and it has a lot of EVs in attack, but even though it's been holding the power bracer, it's stats won't go up at all beyond 2 or 3 point when I level up.

I hadn't started training him in speed until this morning. He has almost no EVs in speed, and I gave him the power anklet and for some weird reason the stats for speed go up dramatically.

Why is it that my power bracer won't work but my power anklet will?

Hrm... maybe it's maxed? Go check by trying to get an effort ribbon, if it is you can use berries to lower it.

oh i think i know,
what level is your pokemon?
if its a low level then i think your starting to gain the stats from EVs on the way to level 100,
so that means you wont get loads of extra stats one lvl at a time
i think it slowly increases the amount as you level up each time until you get up to lvl100 (since that happens to me quite often)

or it could be how jscalalamoboy says, its maxed out?
but just in case
you should carry on with the power anklet until lvl 50/60/70 or so? since thats when i started to see changes in my pokemons stats :3
