Do I get EVs after the battle or when defeating an opponent?
Dec. 14, 2014I am EV training my Froakie and Ive come across a horde of Bellsprout, defeating all 5 of them would give me too much EV. I only need to defeat three of them, so if I defeat three of them and then run away, will it count as EV for Froakie? And I’m having a higher level Pokemon do the work so will Froakie really get EVs?

If a Pokémon levels up in the middle of a battle, its stats willupdate assuming there are EVs to add from a previously defeatedopponent, but EVs from the opponent that caused it to level up willnot be added until after the experience points have been completelyadded. This entire mechanic was overhauled in Pokémon Black and WhiteVersions 2; EVs are now added before Experience, so if the victoriousPokémon gains enough Experience to level up, its new stats whendisplayed in battle including the new EVs.
Yes if you did defeat 3 Bellsprout and ran away Froakie would gain 3EVs in Attack
