Answer 1

No, you do not get EVs for defeating your own Pokémon in a double battle. I knocked out my Slugma in a battle against two Spinda, using PkHEX to view my Breloom's EV spread before and after the battle. This battle only awarded Breloom with 2 Sp. Atk EVs from the Spinda, and not an additional Sp. Atk EV from Slugma.

Note that Breloom's total Sp. Atk EVs only go from 11 to 13.

Also, it's less resource-heavy and/or time-consuming to simply EV train against wild Pokémon instead of your own.

Defeating your own Pokemon also doesn't give you experience, right?

I left it out of my answer, but no, it does not give experience.

Answer 2

Thankfully, no. You only get exp/evs from defeating an opponent Pokemon, and as far as I know you are not your own opponent. Just fight wild Pokemon for goodness sake.

Does this mean you tested the EV mechanics? How did you test it?
