evs are effort values and every pokemon you defeat gives a set number for certain stats, a single pokemon can only have 510 evs total and each stat caps at 255
every 4 evs is equal to 1 extra point in that stat basing on a level 100 pokemon, for a total of 63 extra with 252 evs in a stat
IV are Individual Values, they help determine how good the stats will be, each stat has it's own IV and they range 1 to 31 and the higher it is the better that stat will be
unlike evs these values are set upon encounter and cannot be altered
how do you know what your IVs are? roughly how many pokemon do you need to finish to get max EVs?
