This is incorrect, actually. The number of EVs required to max a stat depends on the units digit of the stat. The reason why most stats max at 196 or 236 is that many stats end in 0 or 5, which require 196 and 236 EVs to max, respectively.Rules of thumb: The higher the stat, the more EVs it takes to increase said stat
Most stats max at 196 or 236 EVs
Any other knowledge you need on EVs can be found by simply messing with the numbers
PO's teambuilder made manually finding EVs pretty useless, but with no sliders currently on PS, learning at least 36/116/196 for x0 and 76/156/236 for x5 stats is pretty useful.
