I've tried to understand this, but i'm just getting more and more confusses, perhapes someone could explain it for me.

its not that difficult. ev training is when you fight pokemon to up a stat. example: fight 30 zubats and instead of a stat going +2 or +3 when it levels up it will go +4, +5, or even +6. it only does one stat at a time though

pokemon are assigned 'Effort Values' gained from killing them.

these are gained from wild and trainers pokemon

ev training would be manipulating what EVs your pokemon gains, by killing a certain amount of wild pokemon to gain the specific amount of evs (usually 252)

a pokemon can have 510 evs in total, which means up to 2 stats can have the full 252 evs and gain 63 stats per category

you can find lists of what pokemon give which evs, and how many.

4 evs make up 1 stat points, hence 252 making up 63 stat points

items like an exp share, will allow you to ev train weaker pokemon, also if you gain 2ev from the enemy pokemon, both pokemon would gain 2 evs.. the item 'macho brace' increases ev in take by 2x so if you killed a.. Ghastly? instead of getting 1 sp.atk ev you'd get 2 sp.atk evs, which decreases the amount of time needed to ev train..

Every time you battle a Pokémon, you are awarded one EV in whichever stat that Pokémon is set up to give. If you look at the equation for figuring out stats (not including HP):

Stat = Round down(
(( BaseStat * 2 + IV + Round down( EV/4 ) ) * Level/100 + 5 ) * P
)

you'll see two things. First, it takes 4 EV points to get a one point raise in your stat. Second, Only at level 100 do you get the full amount of EVs possible since, at anything less than level 100, you receive only a percentage based on your level.

So, usually, you don't start EV training until you've reached level 100. You can EV train to award EVs in any or all stats up to 510 total EVs. Different Pokémon award EVs in different stats, so you have to battle the ones that will raise only the stats you're training for.

There's a really detailed guide at GameFaqs for Ruby (the mechanics are the same for all the games since Ruby/Sapphire) that goes into incredible detail. It is the Advanced Trainer Guide by egervari. I'd post the URL but I haven't posted enough to get HTML turned on.

if I am not wrong EV training is the pokemon virus or something like that, pokemon virus is when your pokemon gets 5+ r 6+ on the status

In short...If your pokemon leveled up when You are EV training....
the stats will have +3 or + 4, normally it will have +1 or + 2

Do the Pokemon need to be level 100 to EV train?

In my last post I wrote about starting EV training at level 100. You do not have to start at level 100. However, at any lower level you will, according to the equation, need more than 4 EVs to see your stat go up by 1. As was pointed out to me, at level 50 you would need 8 EVs to see your stat change by 1. At level 25, you would need 16. You would have to keep track of every battle your Pokémon was in and do the math from there.

Level 100 is used because it is the most accurate and you don't have to worry about any more level-ups changing the 4 EVs to 1 stat point ratio. Also, at level 100 is the most accurate place to compute your Pokémon's IVs. (Individual Values)

If you Google "Pokémon game mechanics", you'll find a lot of guides and several different "schools" of EV training. Good luck.

So, if I raise my Pokemon to level 100. Battle the correct pokemon for it's nature, after 4 battles 1 stat will go up by 1 point?

depends on the pokemon you battled like:
if you battled 4 budew you well get 1 state rise and 4 ev's but if you battled 4 roselia you well get 2 state rise and 8 ev's cuz roselia gave you 2 ev's and budew gaves you 1
