Justroman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The Macho Brace is gotten in Johto through a trade with an NPC for his machop the machop with be holding the item after the trade is done. You can also buy proteins and the likes in the celadon dept. store for 28,000.

Yeah, thought of doing it aswell.... didn't try to EV in johto yet, gotta do some "research" on hotspots there. Help would be apreciated ofc mate. noki said: where can i get Macho Brace ? held by pokemon or buy from npc ?

Austin Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 lordcobrakai said: Hello! I'm Cobrakai, and i'm doing this topic to ai people with their EV training! I want to share with you a list of decent EV training hotspots (some of them better then others but it's what i found best until now), with a list of the Pokémons showing up in each hotspot, their approximate levels, EV gain from battling each of those Pokémon and the daytime where those Pokémon appear. The rarity of listed Pokémon is estimated. This guide will be updated as soon as i get more information on other decent hotspots. These hotspots are ALL within the Kanto Region. I did not list any spot on any island or Johto Region because the majority of people are mostly sitting on Kanto. Ways to Modify EV Gain: As there are no Horde encounters, we are gonna struggle bit more than at 6th gen games (X & Y). Pokérus also not available so, the struggle will be even bigger. Macho Brace IS available and working, making EV training 2x faster - doubles EV gain but halves holder's speed. HealthPoints (HP) EV training hotspots: Viridian Forest Reveal hidden contents Viridian Forest is a slow HP training hotspot, but the rate of encountering Pokémons who yield HP EVs is higher than most Kanto routes. Highly reccomend training here with a Macho Brace or it might take you quite a while... Caterpie: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 3 ~ 6 Daytime: Morning & Afternoon EVs yield: 1 HP Hoothoot: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 3 ~ 8 Daytime: Night EVs yield: 1 HP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attack (Atk) EV training hotspots: Attention: I DO NOT LIKE to train Atk EVs. Spots either vary a lot the encounter rates on Pokémon who yield Atk EVs or they lack Pokémon who yield 2 Atk EVs. It is probably the one you will have more trouble dealing with, requires more patience. HIGHLY RECCOMEND USING MACHO BRACE. Pokémon Tower (Lavender) Reveal hidden contents Pokémon Tower is known from the original Pokémon games as a place full of Gastly, sometimes Haunter, and as such place, a good Sp.Atk EV train hotspot. But, in PRO, you will find mostly Patrat and Spinarak other than Gastlys and Haunters, making this tower a decent Atk EV training spot. Highly reccomend training here with a Macho Brace or it might a while to reach those 252 Atk. Spinarak: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 16 ~ 22 Daytime: Morning & Night EVs yield: 1 Atk Patrat: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 16 ~ 22 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Atk Mt.Moon Reveal hidden contents Mt.Moon is known from the original Pokémon games as a place full of Paras, yet, in PRO, there are other encounters that do not yield Atk EVs. As i stated before, i do not like to train Atk EVs at all, due to the lack of wild Pokémon who yield 2 EVs. Paras: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 10 ~ 15 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Atk Route 11 Reveal hidden contents Route 11 was just a random attempt i've made, tried to fish for Goldeen/Krabby (both yield 1 Atk EV) and check the encounter rate percentage, estimated, and i got a total of 5 Goldeen & 0 Krabby out of 10 Pokémon (the other five were Magikarp sadly...) THIS IS NOT something i consider a hotspot, but if you feel like pulling Goldeens or just bored of the other spots, try it... Might be luckier than me. This might be tried not only on route 11, but on every route with Goldeen/Krabby as their encounter rate is common. Goldeen: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 14 ~ 20 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Atk Krabby: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 14 ~ 20 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Atk --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Defense (Def) EV training hotspots: Viridian Forest Reveal hidden contents Viridian Forest is not only an HP training hotspot, but also a somewhat decent defense hotspot. It kinda depends on ur luck tho, finding or not a lot of Kakuna and/or Metapod. I found it to be a really decent spot to EV def up (specially if u need to EV train HP and Def on the same Pokémon). Metapod: Encounter Rate: (un)common Levels: 5 ~ 9 Daytime: Morning & Afternoon EVs yield: 2 Def Kakuna: Encounter Rate: (un)common Levels: 5 ~ 9 Daytime: Morning & Afternoon EVs yield: 2 Def --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speed (SPD) EV training hotspots: Diglett Cave Reveal hidden contents The Diglett Cave is a well know Speed EV Hotspot, u mainly run into pokémon who yield speed ev's. Stay in the cave's entrance, do not got to B2F Diglett Cave, or u will also run into Pokémons who do not yield SPD EVs (ex: sandshrew, sandslash...). Macho Brace here would make SPD training A LOT FASTER then it already is, if you have it then you won't lose almost any time here. Zubat: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 18 ~ 22 Daytime: Day, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Speed Diglett: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 18 ~ 22 Daytime: Day, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Speed Dugtrio: Encounter Rate: uncommon Levels: 25 ~ 29 Daytime: Day, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 2 Speed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Attack (Sp.Atk) EV training hotspots: Route 5 Reveal hidden contents Route 5 is an awesome Sp.Atk training hotspot, the encounter rate on Pokémon who not only wield 1, but also 2 Sp.Atk EVs is great. Sadly, those Pokémon only show up at night, so hurry up when night time aproaches. Oddish: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 13 ~ 16 Daytime: Night EVs yield: 1 Sp.Atk Abra: Encounter Rate: uncommon Levels: 13 ~ 19 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Sp.Atk Gloom: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 15 ~ 19 Daytime: Night EVs yield: 2 Sp.Atk Route 6 Reveal hidden contents Route 6 is also a decent Sp.Atk training hotspot, the encounter rate on Pokémon who yield Sp.Atk EVs is also fairly decent. Personally, i prefer route 5 over route 6, but since route 5 only worth going at night, route 6 is also listed as an hotspot. Psyduck: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 13 ~ 18 Daytime: Afternoon EVs yield: 1 Sp.Atk Magnemite: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 13 ~ 18 Daytime: Afternoon EVs yield: 1 Sp.Atk Abra: Encounter Rate: uncommon Levels: 13 ~ 19 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Sp.Atk --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Defense (Sp.Def) EV training hotspots: Attention: To be honest, Sp. Def is so easy to train, u can find Tentacool almost everywhere (through rod or surfing, doesn't matter which method). I'm just listing the locations where it seemed i found a high ammount of Tentacruel for a faster train (maybe i was just lucky finding many Tentacruel in these zones, maybe it's just my impression). Route 19 & 20 Reveal hidden contents Routes 19 & 20 are awesome Sp.Def training hotspots, the encounter rate on Pokémon who not only yield 1, but also 2 Sp.Def EVs seemed really great to me. On this training method your going most of the Pokémon on water. On route 19, you will not find neither Tentacool or Tentacruel using rods, this method is only for ppl past 5th gym, capable of using HM 03 - Surf. Tentacool: Encounter Rate: common Levels: 27 ~ 33 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 1 Sp.Def Tentacruel: Encounter Rate: (un)common Levels: 31 ~ 38 Daytime: Morning, Afternoon & Night EVs yield: 2 Sp.Def Hope this topic can help a lot of people. Would also like to ask for PRO's community to help improving this topic, as i think every1 wants to train their Pokémons EV with an always higher and improving efficiency. Cobrakai do you know where to get macho brace?

Dede Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 For Atk. EV I tend to go on Route 12, common Bellsprouts (1) and Weepinbell (2). You get a few tangelas and pidgeys aswell but doesn't bother too much Link to comment https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/2201-ev-training-hotspots/page/2/#findComment-21798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abel Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Nice guide for sure. Only the inferior talk down on others regardless of their privileges or positions. Inferior to their community with their heads in the clouds unwilling to evolve.

Pifty Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Another ATK ev hotspot is the water on route 24 surfing there will let you encounter Krabby and Goldeen both 1 ATK ev.
