If a Pokemon levels up through Horde Training, (or battling wild Pokemon in general) wouldn't it up unwanted EVs too?
Im playing Pokemon X and getting EV reducing berries is pretty difficult, hence I'm hesitating with this popular Strat.
Pls give advice

There's an entire guide on how to EV train with Hordes, so yes, it is possible to get unwanted EVs if you're fighting the wrong type of Pokemon. You would never want to grind levels through Horde Battles when things like the Lumoise City restaurants and the Battle Chateau exist though, so this won't ever really be an issue.

If it's that big a deal, max out the EVs you want with Super Training before engaging in Horde Battles. As EVs don't matter during an in-game playthrough, and you can easily find better experience elsewhere, this will almost always be a waste of time.
