In need of an expert in EV training?

Hi, Im trying to EV Train my Shiny Chimchar (Starter) Im trying to make his specialties either Attk and Speed or Attk and Def or spread it maybe 200 Attk, 200 speed and 150 DEF (if thats possible) Um, okay so this is what I understand with EV Training:

Ok, so idk if I forgot anything but here are some questions:

Q1: Lets say i have I level Up and i had 4 EVs on Speed 3 EVs on Attk obviously i would get 1 extra Base stat on Speed. So my question is Once i’ve leveled do I restart the EV count as in keeping the count for how many EVs i’ve used out of 510 EVs max but restarting the count just to know how many bonuses I will get at the next level?

Q2: I dont get how with the max being 510 will enable me to max at least 1 stat, I feel as if It wont be enough, can someone explain how 510 EVs would be enough to help maximize 1-2 stats to 252( or 255) thats if im EV training my Chimchar from the beginning

Q3:ok so lets say throughout the game i’ve calculated how many EVs i’ve already used up and i’ve used up lets say: 33 Attk EVs ,58 Speed EV , 67 Defense EV would i have spent 158/510 EVs?

Q4: I also dont understand IVs the concept of it, the purpose of it and benefit of it

Q5:WOuld my 510 EVs last till my pokemon are lvl 100? And if it doesnt what are the consequences of exceeding 510 EVs or 252(or 255) on a base stat?

All EVs you gain you keep. Unless you specifically use an EV-lowering item.

The max is 252 in one stat, 510 counting all EVs in total. So you can get 252 Attack, 252 Speed and you have 4 left for another stat. Or 100 in 5 different stats if you really wanted (bad idea though).

Yes.

IVs are a separate mechanic, they are random when you first get a Pokemon (in the wild or breeding). You get 1-32 IVs on each stat which add 1-32 to that stat. IVs are set in stone when you encounter the Pokemon, as opposed to EVs which you can change in different stats.

You can’t exceed those numbers, see #2 above. And as in #1 once you gain an EV point, you keep it unless you specifically use an EV-lowering item.

Q1 you keep the ev count, It dosen’t reset.I don’t understand q2.Q3 yes you would.Q4 Ivs are random numbers achieved through breeding. You can have up to 31 Ivs in a stat. Each Ivs equal 1 stat point. You can tell a pokemons Ivs by the personality and check it on the iv section of the site. You can pass down a pokes best iv though breeding with the power bracer, anklet ect.Q5 yes they last til lv. 100 and you just can’t exceed the max, they don’t let you.
