How are EVs and Exp. Points related?

Question

By battling a Pokémon, you gain both Exp. points and EVs. So I thought there might be some co-relation between them. What is it?

Just for curiosity.

Answer 1

As far as I'm sure, the only connection is that you gain EVs is the same time gain experience through fainting an enemy Pokemon, so Battle Tower and others that cannot give EXP cannot give EVs. Neither value changes the other. Whether you get the lowest or highest amount of EXP possible, the EV gain will be constant depending on the fainted Pokemon. And when using vitamins, EXP is not affected, same vice versa with EXP candy. However after gen V, even if you reach level 100 but faint a Pokemon anyways, you get EVs anyways assuming you would get EXP if it wasn't level 100.

Oh now I understood, Thanks!

Answer 2

EVs (Effort Values) are values that contribute to an individual Pokémon's stats in the core and side series Pokémon games.
They are primarily obtained by defeating Pokémon in battle, based on the Pokémon that was defeated.

Exp. Points can raise your Pokémon's level. And EVs can affect the Pokémon that leveled up.

A Pokémon that leveled up is also gained EVs. And EVs are affected this Pokémon's stats.

Hope its helpful :)
