When playing online against others, I notice that Pokemon above the level of 50 are rounded down to 50, and Pokemon who are below 50 remain the same. So when playing online, are all your EVs on your Pokemon rounded down to what they were at 50? I’m unsure as to what I need to do to maximize my Pokemon’s statistics before I play online.
Example: I have a Vulpix. I will level her up to 50. Should I go any further? Like will any statistic I gain (other than moves) after 50 matter when I enter online battles?

EVs aren’t “rounded down”. A Level 5 Pokemon can have 508 EVs if you trained it correctly.
Its the stats that are lowered. Essentially, if you enter a battle with a level 100 Mienshao that is fully EV’d trained but its level is set to level 50, its stats will still have the boosts from all the EV training that you did. It’s just that your Pokemon is now at what its stats would’ve been at level 50 while being EV trained.
