Effort Values, colloquially abbreviated as EVs, are statistical determinants that are calculated into the eventual upgrowth of your Pokémon's stats. They are the teal-colored stats shown in your Pokémon's stats on their hover-over card in-game.
EVs are really important if you want to be succesfull in PvP (Player vs Player) battles but it can also be helpful if you are only interested in story.

Notes
Route 41 is also good to level up your pokemons because that is a lvl 30-35 map.
