To max out a Pokemons stat, do you have to have the right nature plus max EV's or just EV's?

To max out Dusclops defense to 394, do I have to have a defense nature plus EV train it in defense?Because if it’s enough to do/have one of them I have an idea to make dusclops defenses alsomt like shuckles.if I first max out dusclops defense to 394 at level 100, give it an Eviolite wich boost both defenses 50% wich would make Dusclops Defense (hopefully also Sp.Def if this works) to 591!!

This is the formula for stats:

To max a pokemon’s stats you must have:

-31 IVsin that stat.

-252 EVsin that stat.

-Abeneficialnature. ( for defense, you would needBold, Impish, lax, or relaxed)

-Be atlevel 100.(you can set DS wifi battles to do this part for you)

(Max HP requires everything here except for the nature, since there is no HP nature.)

If you literally want to max out Dusclops' Defense stat, than you must have:- ADefense boosting nature-Max IVs in Defense-Max EVs in Defense(252)- And since it’s a Dusclops', the hold itemEviloliteof course

If you just want your Dusclops' to have the best potential in Defense and don’t plan on re-breeding, just have everything except the max IV’s in Defense.
