When you first get a Pokemon through catching it in the wild or hatching it, it has no EVs. If you got it through a wifi trade, then there’s a possibility it already has EVs. You can feed it EV reducing berries to reset its EVs, but you cannot check what EVs it has for sure.

Only whenyoubattle with a Pokemon does it gain EVs. To work out what EVs you’re gaining, gohere, that’s a list of Pokemon by their EV yield.

There are things that alter EV gain, like Pokerus and Macho Brace (doubles all EV gain, so if you were gaining 3 EVs per Pokemon, you would gain 6 instead), and Power items (add four to every battle won, regardless of what EVs the Pokemon would give; e.g., you’re holding a Power Belt, and you fight a Jellicent, which gives 1 Sp. Def EV. The Belt will add 4 Defence EVs, so you will gain 4 Defence and 1 Sp. Def EV).
