Question about Pokemon breeding?

I've recently become interested in breeding my Pokemon and training them strong.

Just wondering that if you catch a male and female of a Pokemon, such as Pikachu, and EV train them so they have pretty good defence, and I make them breed, will the baby Pichu have good defence, too? Or will it be normal defence?

Thanks.

    No. A pokemon that is just hatched or caught in the wild starts with 0 evs. So evs are not passed down. They are acquired by beating other pokemon. IVs are passed down though. Which are stats the pokemon is born with.

    And why would you ev train pikachu in defense? I think that's a waste. You should ev train it in speed and special attack. It's like ev training geodude in special attack. It doesn't make sense.

    No. Pichu just has a normal defence stat... Unless You train up pichu's defence. Oh and you should also train up different stats so the Pikachu's/Pichu will have good overall stats.
