This guide is about an EV training method much faster than Super Training. With it, you can train your whole team in a few minutes. By using the move Sweet Scent in some routes, you have a 100% chance of getting a horde battle, meaning you can easily kill 5 Pokémon that give out EVs on the same stats with a multi-targeting move, such as surf or earthquake, and if you are using the EXP Share, all of your team benefits from it. Furthermore, if your Pokémon has Pokérus and the suitable power item, you'll get 10 EVs for a single EV giving Pokémon, or 12 for a 2 EV giving Pokémon. So you could potentially get 50 or 60EVs on a stat, on each of your Pokémon. Here's a list of hotspots, divided by stat.

If you have any question or suggestion, feel free to ask me personally or on this thread. Remember, you have to use Sweet Scent for this to work!
Thanks for making this guide Slugkid! I've been using it a lot lately to EV train my Pokémon now that I bought all the power items and got Pokerus.
This topic is amazing! I no longer have to use 40 mins of my time but just about 10 mins to have my Pokémon EV trained! Great work!
Is there any way that this tutorial can be updated with OR/AS hordes as well? I do know there are hordes in that game too, and I was hoping that I can start EV training on there, I just don't know where to find the hordes in the game and so forth.
