I just wanted to rant about how great the Poke Pelago is for EV training a sec. I don't see enough talk about it. So the first things I bought with BP was all of the Power Items out of habit, but now that I've started training I kind of regret it.
Isle Evelup, once maxed out, gives 4 EVs per session, which last 30 min each, and it only goes for the exact number of sessions you enter, leaving a poke there longer has no further effect. With beans the sessions last 15 min, which after upgrading all Isles I now have nearly 1,000 beans; you get so many every day. Even without beans, I originally thought it was 30 min of game time, but it's not, it's real time, so you can max a stat in a day at most; set it and forget it style.
And you can be super precise. Want 52 EVs in a stat? set it for 13 sessions and let it go. Odds are you'd only have one poke in a session/group like this, making for 3 pokes training at a time, but if you have 6 pokes that all need max speed or something it's easy peasy.
I was working on getting 14 chain Spearow kills over breaks at work to max out my Magearna's speed, but after 3 turns of Spearow failing to show, I said F it, and dropped it in Isle Evelup for the remaining sessions, was done by the time I got home, was able to train other things during breaks. Once Bank is updated in January and I have access to better breeding parents and I can go all out on gen 7 breedable pokes, I don't think I'll ever go back to old EV training again. I'll get all the breeding done, keeping track with a chart, then toss what needs which EVs together in Isle Evelup and let the magic flow!
