Do Power items convert EVs?

Okay… so I’m horde training my Shroomish, Buneary and Elekid on wild Zigzagoon to get Speed EVs. Elekid is holding aPower Anklet(boosts Speed EVs). Buneary is holding aMacho Brace(doubles EVs gained). Shroomish is holding aPower Bracer(boosts Attack EVs) for when I train later.

When I check on Super Training to see how they’re growing, Buneary and Elekid are both growing in Speed. Shroomish, however, is getting Attack EVs. The only thing I can think of is that thePower Bracer is converting the Speed EVs into Attack EVs.

Is this the case? I’ve never read up on it before.

EDIT: Just tried this with my Hondege holding a Power Lens. The EVs were split between Sp. Attack and Speed!

See, how it works is for each Pokemon you defeat, you gain 4 EVs. So it will gain 20 EVs per horde. So essentially, for every Pokemon you beat, you get 4 EVs respective to which power item the Pokemon is holding. And if you use Pokerus, it would only take 5 moves against the needed horde to complete that specific EV (that is only if the Pokemon yields 2 EVs per designated stat though). Hope this clears things up for you!

Hope this helps!
