I can't see where I screwed up here, but if you do, please help.
I recently tried my hand at EV training for the first time (yeah, I know, xtreme n00b). It was a magnemite, and I thought I kept perfect record of its EV's. I caught it fresh, fed it 10 calciums, fought 152 points' worth of pokes (M-mite, m-ton, gastly + haunter). Then I fed it 10 irons & 10 zincs and 4 hp ups. I battled 4 metapods (2 def each) and 8 tentacool. That should add up to 508 evs. I burned the last 2 points on another Magneton.
Yet, when I fed it an extra hp up out of curiosity, my magnemite took it. Do hp ups not give 10 evs each?
Each time I used one, Magnemite gained another hit point, and I thought evs were only added when a poke levelled up. What's up with this?
Thanks in advance!

Very strange, if you were done EV-training. I guess there's the possibility of you miscounting...
