Hello everyone! This is an Episode 16-friendly guide for places to EV train your pokemon by stat, meant to expand upon and supplement Simon's
Pokemon Reborn EV Training Guide V2 (Updated for Episode 15). If you're looking for a guide because you're thinking, "I want to EV train in Attack and Speed, if only I knew the best places to go..." then this is the place to find it. Additionally, I am not including training areas via headbutt, fishing, rock smash, etc. as they take far longer to grind than biking or surfing.
And if you know of other good places, please contribute!
PLEASE NOTE:
IF AN AREA IS LABELED PRE-EPISODE 16, YOU DO NOT NEED A PREVIOUS EPISODE OF REBORN TO EXPLOIT IT. This simply means Reborn must be in its unrestored, pre-16 endgame state to utilize it. If you have not restored Reborn to its beautified state, ignore the following exploit and enjoy EV training as normal. If you have restored Reborn to its episode 16 beautified state, then use the following exploit to access the appropriately labeled (PRE-EPISODE 16) training areas:
Simply use the Pokemon Center nearest the area you wish to EV train in (for example, if you want to train in the Pre-16 Team Aqua Hideout, first heal at the Lapis Ward Pokemon Center), then use a pokemon with TELEPORT to teleport to that pokemon center. Doing so will revert Reborn City to its broken, unrestored, PRE-16 state until you pass through a significant building. Don't worry when it reverts, Reborn will return to normal when you come back out of most buildings!
(Also, this does not work for Mr. Seacrest's Garden. RIP best HP training spot.)
If an area is labeled POST-EPISODE 16, that means Reborn must be restored per the events of episode 16 to access the area.
HP:
Spoiler
POST-EPISODE 16 Chrysolia Hot Springs (Surf): Big thanks to HUEnd for catching this one! Everything yields HP here!
Water Treatment Center: Either surfing or walking, everything yields HP, except the rare Muk which yields 1 HP and 1 Attack.
Celestinine Cascade (Surf), Ametrine Mountain (Surf): Only Wailmer actually yields HP, but it is BY FAR the most common occurence.
Azurine Island (Morning) Azurine Island (Day): Everything except Gloom, Yanma (morning only), and Shelmet (Day only) yields HP.
Attack:
Spoiler
If you want Attack EVs, then you're probably also going to want HP or Speed EVs as well. See below for areas that yield both.
Route 2 (morning): The grass outside of Agate Circus contains three different 2 Attack yield pokemon. But meditite, dwebble, and rhyhorn all muddy the consistency. Still a decent high-yield area for faster grinding.
Defense:
Spoiler
Byxbysion Wasteland (Night): everything except the very rare Muk yields Defense. I usually fly to Aya's Gym and use the spotty grass towards the bottom right, directly below the test tube chambers.
Sp. Attack:
Spoiler
POST-EPISODE 16 Mr. Seacrest's Garden (Day): Beautifly and Cherrim yield 3 and 2 Sp. Attack, respectively, making this the fastest Sp. Attack grind in the game. Feel free to take down Butterfree as well, even though they yield 2 Sp. Attack and 1 Sp. Defense. Only Dustox and the rare Electrike don't yield Sp. Attack here.
Sp. Defense:
Spoiler
POST-EPISODE 16 Azurine Lake (Surf): You get a fair share of annoying Wingulls, but mostly Tentacool and Tentacruel appear, which yield the Sp. Defense you want.
POST-EPISODE 16 Mr. Seacrest's Garden (morning): Ledyba and Ledian appear in the morning, which along with Dustox's sexy 3 Sp. Defense yield, give you the fastest grind available even despite the cherrims, beautiflies, and occasional electrikes.
Outside of Obsidia Slums (Windy): When the Hoppip all blow past, they actually yield 1 Sp. Defense each. Not a super-efficient grind, but it's an option.
Speed:
Spoiler
PRE-EPISODE 16 Aqua Gang Hideout: Use the Teleport gimmick to the Lapis Ward Pokemon Center mentioned above if you've already restored Reborn. The Aqua Gang Alley yields Speed exclusively.
There are also a number of areas that predominantly yield only two EV types:
HP + Attack
Spoiler
Water Treatment Center: Either surfing or walking, everything yields HP. The rare Muk also yields 1 HP and 1 Attack.
Ametrine Mountain: Bergmite (defense), cryogonal (sp. defense, and delibird (speed) are whiffs, but they are far less common than the predominant sealeos and cubchoos. I recommend flying to Calcenon City, then heading south through the repaired gate and into Ametrine Mountain on the left. There's a solid area there to run back and forth on.
HP + Speed
Spoiler
PRE-EPISODE 16 Grass Outside of the Grand Hall (Day): Only Patrat yields Attack. Everything else is HP or Speed.
HP + Defense
Spoiler
Ametrine Mountain (Dive) While Diving isn't the fastest or easiest way to grind, everything down there yields HP or Defense.
HP + Sp. Attack
Spoiler
Azurine Island (Morning or Day): everything except Yanma in the morning and everything except Shelmet during the day yields either HP or Sp. Attack.
Attack + Speed
Spoiler
Celestinine Mountain: inside the mountain on the first floor--everything yields Attack or Speed except Piloswine, which yields 1 HP and 1 Attack.
BOTH PRE and POST-EPISODE 16 Peridot Ward Alley: I prefer using the POST 16 Alleys in Peridot because Mightyena and Liepard appear. They have higher yields of 2 EVs each, but be careful of the rare Skuntank as it yields 2 HP instead.
