you have to battle certain pokemon as well to raise your buffalants attack stats not just wear a bracer.

i think the article in smogon explains best

Wearing a Power item boosts the EV's you get at the end of a battle. It's +4 EVs for it's corresponding stat. To raise it's attack you also need to battle Patrat and/or Lillipup on Route 1 (Assuming you have the original B/W. I wouldn't know where for B2/W2). If it's just holding the item that doesn't do anything, and just battling random Pokemon really messes it up. Like, a lot.

You probably still don't have enough EVs though. I'm pretty sure he says "It can't try any harder" or "It's trying as hard as it can" when it's EVs are full. The IV man checks something totally different though... It tells you it's IVs, which don't actually change.
