What are the best places to EV train in Diamond and Pearl?
I’d like to know good locations to EV trainHP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense,andSpeed.
Locations can include the post game. If there’s a really good spot with a version exclusive, then provide an alternative for the other game.

If you have the VS Seeker, this job becomes extremely easy.
ForAttack,Sp. AtkandSpeed,you can simultaneously EV train while raking in plenty of cash. On Route 212, Rich Boy Jason and his Luxio offer 2 Attack EVs, Socialite Reina and her Roselia offer 2 Sp. Atk EVs, and rematches with Lady Melissa and her Lopunny offer 2 Speed EVs. All of these battles net around 16,000 Pokedollars each with Amulet Coin, so you can kill two birds with one stone going this route.
If you’re not interested in the money, these methods are slightly more efficient for EV training.
ForAttack, on Route 214, you can rematch PI Carlos and his 3 Seaking, which offer 6 Attack EVs per battle.
ForSp. Atk, Collector Douglas on Route 214 uses 3 Roselia, which offer 6 Sp. Atk EVs per battle
ForDefense, head to Route 221, where you will meet Collector Ivan. Ivan has a party of three Hippopotas, which each yield 1 Defense EV, for a total of 3 per battle.
ForHP,Ace Trainer Brandiin B1F of the National Dex Area in Victory Road has a Pachirisu, Azumarill, and Blissey, which offer 1 Speed EV and 6 HP EVs per battle. If you don’t want the 1 Speed EV, kill the Pachirisu with a different Pokemon before switching to your training Pokemon. Don’t worry, with a Macho Brace, this method only takes 21 battles to get to Max HP, so the Pachirisu nuisance won’t be too much of a problem.
ForSp. Defense, head to Route 223, where 60% of surfing encounters result in Tentacruel that give off 2 Special Defense EVs per battle.
