A Question about Pokemon. EV Training

How many stats should you ev train your Pokemon in? I ev train my Pokemon in 5 stats but most people do it in 2 stats or 3 stats for their Pokemon. I know that if you ev train 2 of the Pokemons stats they will be near perfect for that particular Pokemon, but if you do 5 stats they will be more balanced. I also understand that if you evenly train 2 stats with ev they will raise up 63 points, but if you do it evenly with 5 stats they go up 25.

I have only had one Pokemon where I did the 2 ev stat thing and that was my Giratina (in HP and Attack) and when I compair it to my other Giratina it may have way better HP, Attack, and Speed (speed by luck) but my other Giratina has way better Defense, Spe D, and Spe A and this Giratina is more balanced in stats.

So which is better to do? EV train in 2, 3, or 5 stats.

Well I guess it would be more "balanced," but that completely defeats the purpose of EV training. The point is to have your Pokemon excel in 2 (maybe 3) particular stats. For example, my Electivire doesn't have any special attack moves, simply because its base attack stat is naturally higher than its special attack. Therefore, why should I waste valuable EVs on a stat that I'm not even going to use? I get way more attack and speed EVs that way. I hope you understand now.

I understand but say there was a Pokemon faster than your Electivireor you didnt KO the Pokemon in one hit and then you opponent uses a ground type move would you have a better chance of getting KOed since the Defense and Spe D didnt get any boost?

I guess, but what if they are not the right types for beating the Pokemon.
