Where are the best places to EV train in Pokemon X & Y?

I know we have Super Training in X/Y, which is pretty good and can be quite fast, but supposedly Horde encounters are even faster!

So what are the routes where a Horde encounter will get you EVs in a particular stat?

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

The hordes are chosen with these standards in mind:- how many Pokemon on the route give the same EV points- if the horde is easy to take out with a multi-hit move (e.g. Earthquake, Discharge, Surf, Heat Wave, Air Cutter, Petal Blizzard, Sludge Wave, Rock Slide etc.)

Also listed are the Pokemon on the route that do not give the wanted EVs.

Pokemon Village+Foongus (1 each)+Noctowl (2 each)-Lombre (2 sp. def)-Poliwag (1 speed)

Route 5+Gulpin (1 each)-Minun/ Plusle (1 speed)-Scraggy (1 atk)

Route 14+Ekans (1 each)+Bellsprout (1 each)-Skorupi (1 def)

Route 19+Arbok (2 each)+Weepinbell (2 each)-Gliscor (1 def)-Skorupi (1 def)

Route 18+Durant (2 each)+Geodude (1 each)-Heatmor (2 sp. atk)

Route 14+Skorupi (1 each)-Ekans (1 atk)-Bellsprout (1 atk)

It’s sad that most things that give defence EVs have Sturdy.

Route 7+Psyduck (1 each)+Roselia (2 each)-Hoppip (1 sp. def)

Frost Cavern 1st floor+Smoochum (1 each)+Vanillite (1 each)-Cubchoo (1 atk)

Route 18+Heatmor (2 each)-Geodude (1 def)-Durant (2 def)

Pokemon Village+Lombre (2 each)-Foongus (1 HP)-Noctowl (2 HP)-Poliwag (1 speed)

Route 21+Swablu (1 each)-Spinda (1 sp. atk)-Scyther (1 atk)

Sp. Def is really lacking in any particularly good spots.

Route 11+Starly (1 each)+Stunky (1 each)-Nidoran (M) (1 atk)-Nidoran (F) (1 HP)

Route 5+Plusle/ Minun (1 each)-Gulpin (1 HP)-Scraggy (1 atk)

Route 8+Taillow (1 each)+Wingull (1 each)-Zangoose (2 atk)-Seviper (1 atk, 1 sp. atk)

Now with the remodelling of the exp. share, you can switch the Exp. Share on, put one of the weights on the Pokemon you want to EV train, and lead with a high levelled Pokemon that has full EVs or EVs that you don’t care for which has a wide-ranging multi-hit move, e.g. Surf on Heatmor or Heat Wave on Durant.

Just needed to point out the obvious.

Assume that each Pokemon gives 1 EV of its listing unless otherwise specified.Suggestions for training at bottom of the lists.

I would say that Victory Road has good training for HP, Speed and Defense with Lickitung, Floatzel and Graveler respectively.For Attack I would hit up Route 19 which has Arbok and Trevenant who both provide 2 Atk EVs.For Special Attack I would go to Frost Cavern which has two different Pokemon that can provide SAtk, Smoochum, and Vanillite. Or you could go to Route 7 or 18 to take down Roserade or Heatmor respectively.
