How to effectively use Exp. Share to EV train the Pokemon

pokemon-sixth-generation

Related to my previous question, I am interested in the specifics of the new Exp. Share.

When using it to EV train Pokemon, do all Pokemon in the party gain the base EVs for the Pokemon defeated? Do Pokemon holding an EV-effecting item such as Macho Braces or Power items still gain the effects of those items even if they never actually see battle?

Best Answer

When using EXP Share, the EV gain is applied to all your Pokemon that gain EXP, so fainted Pokemon will not receive EVs. Pokemon that are holding EV-gain items like Macho Brace or the Power series will received the appropriate increased EVs even if they aren't switched in.
