How to determine EVs for moveset questions?

All the moveset questions say to include EVs but how do I check how much a Pokemon has?

In Pokemon Sun and Moon,it is impossible to tell exactly what EVs your Pokemon has, at least not down to a specific number. However, since Gen 6, it has been possible in one way or another to access a graph that visually displays your Pokemon’s EVs. In Sun and Moon, you can do this bypressing Y on any Pokemon’s summary screen. Doing so should bring up a hexagonal graph that looks like this:

Theblue layer outside the yellow one at the core of the graphindicates where the Pokemon’s EVs have been distributed. Any stat that has reached the full capacity of EVs at 252 will sparkle, as Speed does in the image above, and if the Pokemon has not reached the total capacity of EVs at 512, the graph’s blue layer will be orange instead. For clarity,the yellow layer represents the Pokemon’s stats not including EVs, and becomes more exaggerated as the Pokemon gains levels.

If you’d like to clear your Pokemon’s EVs, head to Route 10 and pick up the berries by the large trees. The berries you’ll get will raise happiness and decrease 10 EVs in the stat it corresponds to. Farm them in Poke Pelago and you should have enough todecrease your Pokemon’s EVs to 0 and then start over. There are plenty of EV training guides online, so use them to your advantage here.
