The serebii page of each pokemon tells you the EVs it gives. Gyarados does indeed give 2 Attack.
A quote from Dusk I found useful, I think it covers a few minor things your OP didn't have. Might answer questions for people like my friend and me, who have never EV trained.
On the topic of cheats: Pokesav is faster and easier. :| So, nou.

Dusk Wrote:Any pogey that gets exp from the battle gets EVs. [....] Your pogeys get their EVs immediately, but their stats don't immediately change after battle. What happens is they have two sets of stats. One is the displayed stats on your screen. The other is their IVs/EVs. The stats that you see on your screen are recalculated from the IVs/EVs every time they are deposited, level up, or have vitamins/EV berries used on them. So if you completely EV train a pogey from scratch, but never deposit or level it up, its stats won't change.
You can EV train at any time before level 100. When you reach level 100, you can't gain exp anymore, so you can't gain EVs. Oh, and the "+4" or whatever to stats that you see on level up are meaningless. It's just recalculating those stats and displaying the difference. You can EV train a level 99 pogey and level it to 100 and you'll see like +60 to whatever stats you EVed.
