Does this matter in a Competitive Pokemon?
Alright, follow these steps and try and correct me if I’m wrong:

Okay, I’ll tell you this. The secondary Nature only tells you it’s highest IV. It wouldn’t be max unless it has 31 IVS in that stat.
How do you check IVs? Go to the IV checker. In X and Y, he’s in the town with the Friend Safaris and in the Pokemon Center. In ORAS, he is in the Battle Resort Pokemon Center. They are both Ace Trainers, so they’re easy to spot.
The guide for what IVS your Pokemon have are right here:http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stats_judge
As for EV training, yes, the max EVS a Pokemon can take in is 252 per stat, and 510 total. There’s actually an easier method for EV training,which is horde battling. Here’s a guide on that:

One last thing:in order for a stat to reach full maximum, the nature matters. If your Druddigon needs max speed, go for Jolly. If you want Attack, keep the Adamant one. The difference in stats with a nature is 10%, so it does matter in competitive play.
Hope I helped! (Though I’m sure you knew half of it lol)
