Really was a lot of info, lol, but I know your trying to help. What I am still confused with is:

Q: When I send out my LV.1 Poke and switch out, after it levels up which will probably be multiple levels, will it gain EV's on every level? Example; if I send out my Magby(holding Macho Brace) on a Golduck(which gives 2 EV's on Sp. Attack), then I switch to a stronger Poke to KO Golduck, if Magby were to gain say, 3 levels, would it gain 2 EVs for Special attack on every level? Or just from 1 to 2?

Q: If Macho Brace doubles the amount of EV's gain, I would gain 4 Sp. Attack EV's from defeating a Golduck correct? Resulting in one full extra stat for Sp. Attack? Because you stated my calculations were incorrect, which confuses me.

You gain however many EVs per battle the Pokemon being EV trained in, corresponding to the pokemon you battled. In your case, your Magby would only get 2 EVs in Special Attack against the Golduck, no matter how many levels it gains.

Macho Brace doubles the amount of EVs you get in a battle, so if you were against a Golduck, you would get double the EVs from battling without the Macho Brace.
 
To answer your second question, yes. If you beat a Golduck (2 sp. atk EVs) while only having a Macho Brace, then it would gain 4 EVs since 2 EVs x 2 = 4. But, in your previous post, you mentioned Pokerus so that would double it again which would make 2 EVs x 2 x 2 which equals 8.

This part confused me right here.

So what is the best way to EV train a Lv. 1 Pokemon?

Basically what Blakus said was that with Macho Brace you get double than what you would without it. Golduck normally gives 4 EVs in sp. atk if you are infected with the Pokerus. With the Macho Brace that makes 8 EVs.

That entirely depends on the Pokemon. Some of the most commonly used Pokemon and their EV spreads can be found on this thread and on Pokemon reference sites such as Smogon or Serebii.

If you meant what is the best way to EV train a Pokemon from lv. 1, just send it out first while it is holding a Power Item and is infected with Pokerus, then switch it out to a Pokemon that can KO the opponent.

I do not have Pokerus so we can scratch that out of the equation.

Only thing I have is Macho Brace which is fine by me. Since a LV.1 Poke is not strong enough to fight a Golduck, when I return my Magby and KO the Duck with some stronger, it will gain several levels but only +4 EV one time correct(macho brace on Magby)? That is what I am saying.

Will that hurt me in the long run? Or it doesn't matter as long as it gets its 255 EVs before it reaches LV. 100?
 
Everyone has a different method of EV Training. I personally give a pokemon EXP Share and just use a pokemon that can OHKO what I am fighting. That way, I use the PP to keep track of the EVs. It's slow but sure.

Without overcomplicating things, the Macho Brace doubles the EVs you gain while holding it. Period.

So if you have it, you can fight 63 Golducks or fight 38 and give it 10 Calciums.

EVs work like this. Every four EVs equals an extra stat point at Lv 100. At level 50, it's 8 EVs. This is because your stat is actually recalculated at each level gain with the EVs in mind. So the same pokemon with the same EVs should have half its stat at Lv50.

For the record, people will post here because they want to give help, so don t feel bad asking...:D

No, they can't be used in wi-fi battles. However, they can be used in shoddybattle, a commonly used online Pokemon Battling simulation program.

These are important to keep in mind as they will maximize your Pokemon's performance. Do you need anything more explained?

yes if I use Exp Share does it ruin my pokemon's EVs?

Lol, yea. I don't wanna seem like a pest by constantly asking questions. So this is want am I going to do, let me know if it is correct.

1. I have a Magby LV. 1. I want to max out its Sp. Attack stat. So I would give it 10 Boosters(whatever name it may be). Which leaves 152 EV's left.

2. Put it as my #1 Pokemon to go out.

3. Go fight Golduck which will give me 2 EV's plus 2 more with Macho Brace. So I have 152 Evs to go. 152/4=38. So I would have to KO 38 Golducks to full max out my Sp. Attack stat, correct?

If this is the steps to go to max out your stats via EV training, then let me know if this is correct.
 
yea thats pretty much it. EV training isnt crazy hard. wait till you start breeding for IV"s lol. thats where the real fun is lol

Unlike experience points, EVs aren't evenly shared among Pokemon, so if one of my Pokemon KO a Bidoof (1 HP EV), all Pokemon that gain experience afterward should gain 1 HP EV. Does it ruin your EVs or not? That depends on your definition of "ruining".

Also, yes, sUrfiNg_pIkacHu.

Also, you lie Awesomo. IV breeding is certainly most not fun XD.

Lol, I read about that, way too complicated. As long as EV training maxes out my specific stat, then I'm fine with that.
 
Is it a good idea to have Metagross & Forretress on the same
team as long as I have a Water-type with them?
(I'm thinking of using either Starmie or Vaporeon...)

It actually isn't, and it's not because they're both weak to Fire-type attacks...it's because forretress is really only effective on stall teams, and Forretress and Metagross don't work together well on stall teams. (Metagross has trouble working on a stall team altogether.) They just aren't really good together.
