508 total (max per stat is 252... And you can max out two stats with 4 EVs remaining)256 I believe, yes. The question is if there will be a good way to make money. X & Y had it perfect with the Lumiose city Restaurants, where with the right combination of pokemon to fight with, an amulet coin and the money boosting ability that lasted throughout the entire five rounds because it doesn't fade until after the battle even after its time is up and it was one fight after another, you could make a ton of that Poke-dosh and get a ton of exp at the same time. Then they took it away and the only way to make money, or decent exp, is to fight the Elite Four over and over again (or hunt down Chanseys for exp like you have a grudge against them or something...). Hopefully that isn't the case here. A change will have to be made with no Elite Four in this game.
Been playing a lot of Smogon with Pokemon Showdown... Would recommend looking into it if you want to learn Competitve battling.
