I've decided to look into EV training to make my Pokemon stronger in a competitive battle. I know about how to train EVs, using items such as Macho Brace
or Power Bracer
etc, but I was wondering what routes/caves/surf areas/other places were best for each specific EV stat.
My version is Pokemon Black, and I've beaten the Elite 4 and Alder and have access to all areas of the game.
I know that on Route 1, all you can find are Lillipup and Patrat, both of which give +1 Attack EV.
That makes for a 100% chance to get +1 Attack EVs per kill.
I also know that in the cave beside Route 3, all you can find are roggenrola and woobat, which give +1 Defense EV and +1 Speed EV respectively.
This results in only a 50% chance to get +1 Defense EV per kill, or a 50% chance to get +1 Speed EV per kill.
I'd like to know where all the statistically most rewarding places to find each EV are, to minimize the time it takes to EV train.
I believe I know already that route 1 is the best for Attack, but I would also like to know about Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, and Health.

HP
Note also, There's Victini (for 3 HP EV) that can be rebattled infinitely as long as it is not caught.
Atk
Note that During Winter, the Double Grass location changes up. notably with Tranquill being replaced by Vanillish (30%, 2 SpAtk).
Def
Note that Boldore also gives 1 Atk in addition to 1 Def!
SpAtk
Note that there is a nurse on 3F of the Celestial Tower
SpDef
Speed
Note loads of places with Surf have 100% Basculin, but this one is reachable from a pokécenter without going trough tall grass.
