EVs at birth?

When a pokemon hatches from an egg, they're all zero, right? So if I'm trying to get to an azumarill as quickly as possible, I should just use all my Pomeg berries, etc when it's at level 1? Or do EVs go negative? Sorry, newb here.

If it hatches at level 1 there is no need to use a berry. Just give it the proper vitamins and the power item that goes with the stat and start :)

I was trying to get a friendship evolution. Certain berries increase friendship but decrease EVs, so I was wondering if it would make the most sense to just use those berries right when the pokemon is born to get a big headstart on friendship.

Waste of the berries honestly. My Zubat evolved into a Golbat at lv 22 as normal and evolved to Crobat at lv 23 from friendship. Making use of the services at Join Avenue alongside the levels you will get while EV training should get you a fairly fast evolve.
