I just want to be sure about this.

I'm about to start EV training my shiny Latios in SAtk. It already has PokeRus, and it is holding a Power Lens.

If I were to face a Pokemon that were to normally give out 2 SAtk EVs (like Roselia), it would give me:

(2 + 4) * 2= 12 EVs

Correct.
 
Is this a usable Jirachi?

Bashful (Don't like it but it's the best I can trade for...)

IVs:
Hp: 20-31
Atk: 20-31
Def: 0-19
SpAtk: 20-31
SpDef: 0-19
Spd: 20-31

I could get a Mild or Naive with similar IVs, but those don't seem like good natures for Jirachi. Is it usable?
 
OK thanks, I might try my luck at 250 (Timid Azelf with 23 IV in attack which can't afford to give away any EVs to attack at all).

Edit: decided to calculate it and 250 Attack gives a 75% chance of OHKOing (100% with sandstorm if it doesn't use softboiled) when they have 230 Def / 714 HP and I'll get a 87.5% chance if they are running 714 HP (Max leftovers recovery). Not sure if wanna risk it now.
 
Is Pokerus more common this gen? I keep catching Giratina's with it... like 4 times already.

I think its still the same. I bet you have a Pokerus infected pokemon on your team. If you attacked Giratina with a pokemon with Pokerus, the Pokerus has a chance of spreading. Thats happened to me with Dittos.
 
Ok this is really bothering me. I've been tracking my Evs(I asked and I am doing it correctly) but twice now they've been off when I should be finished. Usually I try to give a pokemon a vitamin to see if I've done it correctly,if I did it will say no affect.

I've trained plenty of my own pokemon with now problem but I've tried to EV train two traded pokemon now and the EVs have been wrong both times. Now unless 10 vitamins don't give 100 Evs and unless traded pokemon recieve Evs differently I have no idea what could be wrong. Any ideas?
