Gaming A few pokemon related questions.

Hello pokemon professionals ,
1. What is the best way to find out IV's?
2. Does EV transfer between evolutions? (For example: I want an ampharos eith EV trained Attack and defence, so if I EV train mareep in these and later it evolves will it still have the EV's or will I need to train again?)
3. Does gym badge LVL cap do anything? I remember in I gen if you have 3 badges, pokemon with over 40lvl won't listen to you. Now it seems, that this doesn't matter, 'cause I have a 70 lvl Kingler and everything seems fine.

1- using a external program like pokegen you can see exactly how many IV's your pokemon have, there are in-game means to know what IV has the higher value but not to know the exact value.
2- yup, EV are at a per-pokemon basis, so if you have a mareep trained on atk and def then when evolve to flaffy and then ampharos the EV's will remain the same
3- in gen5 badges are to get pass the victory road gate and to control transfered pokemons, if a pokemon is yours badges doesn't matter. if you have a pokemon with swim or fly without having any badges you'll be able to swim and fly anyways, that restriction is removed.

3 - I think that only applies to traded ones now.

It's always applied to only traded ones; since RBY if you had a level 100 Charizard that belonged to you with no badges it still would have obeyed.
