EV training Pokemon Soul Silver?

I have been reading up on the EV training and was wondering your Pokemon gets EVs anytime it gets exp? For instance if I were to have my Dragonite at the head of my party and give a Pidgey my Exp Share. Say I knock out the wild Pokemon with Dragonite would my both my Pokemon get EVs for the fight or does my Pidgey need to actually make an appearance to get the EVs?

    Yes, your pokemon gets EV every time you beat a wild pokemon, and an Exp. Share pokemon doesn't need to make an appearance in order to obtain the EV.

    And although the exp is divided into half for both pokemon, but the EV doesn't. So if your Dragonite defeated, for example, a Magikarp, both Dragonite and the Exp. Share Pidgey got 1 speed EV.
