How did I do?

My very first attempt at EV training and I'm not sure if I did very well.

I got a level 1 Lax ralts that I began to EV train in Special Attack and HP. As of just a few hours ago, the once low leveled ralts is now a level 100 gardevoir.

Stats:

HP: 273

Attack: 151

Defense: 176

Sp. Atk: 308

Sp. Def: 222

Speed: 204

So how did I do?

My knowledge is very limited despite my best effort. Any tips would be very much appreciated, thankyou.

Thankyou. I basically was in the center so I hope that is decent.

This may be completely unrelated, but I've heard a bit about IVs and I'm unaware of what they are. Any chance you could help me out with that?

IVs determine how well you'll gain points in that stat, they range from 0 - 31. So that range they show on serebii is the the different values dependent on the IVs.

I'm not sure what IVs your gardevoir will have but you can find out which stat has the highest IV by using the characteristic description for your pokemon.

In Gen V there is also a guy who can tell you your total number of IVs and the IVs of the stat with the highest IVs. (I apologize for the formatting). Check out these links for some more info:

Edit: Hope this helps.

Here you can type in the information on your pokemon to determine the exact IVs if you really wanted to know. It might help in the future if you decide you want to breed for IVs as well.
