Why did Sceptile not gain many Attack points after EV training in Emerald?

So recently, I asked a question about EV training and you guys suggest that I use berries to reduce my Pokemon’s EVs to EV train. So after feeding my Sceptile a million Hondew (-SpAtk) berries and go to Mt.Pyre and killed like a million Shuppets (+Atk) with the Macho Brand held item. But upon leveling up, it only gains like 2 attack EVs. SO do anyone have ideas on how to fix thins and what’s happening? I’m confused. (Pokemon Emerald)Thanks

You appear to be confusing EVs with the Pokémon’s actual stats.

Effort Values (EVs) arehiddenvalues that go up when you defeat Pokémon or use Vitamins, which then affects the stat growth of your Pokémon.

The benefits are generally not clear until you reach higher levels such as Level 50.Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, when you deposit a Pokémon into your PC, it will gain the benefits of EVs immediately, when normally you would have to level up to do so. This is known as the “box trick”.

If you have knocked out 126 Shuppet, you can stop and move on to the next stat, as you have fully maxed out its Attack.If you aren’t sure, you can use more EV-reduction berries and try again.
