Effort Values (also known as EVs) are points that can increase your Pokemon's
stats.

Each Pokemon can have a maximum of 510 EV points. For every 4 EV points you
put into one stat that stat will increase by 1 point at Level 100.

For example: Lets say you have a Lv. 99 Jolteon and you want to raise its
             speed, if you fight 4 Rattatas and then train it to Lv. 100 your
             Jolteon will gain 1 extra point in speed than it normally would
             have.

If trained properly a Pokemon can obtain a total of 127 extra points on to its
stats.

There are 2 ways to obtain EVs.

The first way is to use vitamins, each vitamin gives you 10 EV points, but you
can only use 10 of each vitamin. So if you use 10 Calciums, your Pokemon will
gain a total of 100 EV points.

The second way is to fight other Pokemon to obtain the EVs that they give.
Keep in mind that you'll only receive EVs if you obtain Experience points.

You can also speed up the process when fighting Pokemon by giving your Pokemon
a Macho Bracer or if it has Pokerus. Each of these multiply the amount of EVs
you gain by 2. So instead of gaining 1 EV for fighting a Rattata you'll get 2
EVs if you have Macho Bracer or Pokerus, but if you have both of these on one
Pokemon you'll get 4 EVs instead of 1.

Although 255 EV points is the maximum for a single stat, you should only put
252 on a stat since 255 is not divisible by 4 and you would be wasteing 3 EVs
that could have gone to a different stat.

There are various restrictions that apply to EVs and they are:

A maximum of 510 EVs total.
A maximum of 51 vitamins can be given to one Pokemon.
A maximum of 10 vitamins for a single stat.
A maximum of 255 EVs for a single stat.
You can't obtain EVs in Battle Frontier.

I would suggest that you use vitamins for the stat you're planning on growing
first and then fight Pokemon to obtain the rest of the EVs that you need.

A new addition to the Emerald version is the ability to take away EVs from
your Pokemon by feeding certain berries to them. Here is a list of the berries
that take away EVs.
