when i use Exp Share to sort of "piggyback" a pokemon and have it gain levels, do the EVS of the monsters i'm fighting transfer via the Exp Share, even if I do not use the Exp Share pokemon at all?
And Pokemon DO gain EVs when using the Exp share. The Pokemon holding the Exp Share counts as being part of the battle, even though it never really took part, so it will gain 1/2 Exp, and full EV points.
If the Pokemon is involved in any way with the battle, it will get full EVs. This includes switching in, Exp. Share, and battling. So... be careful which Pokemon you fight, or you might accidentally get some that you don't want.
