This nugget bridge guide to EV training is pretty good if you are playing omega ruby/ alpha sapphire
Ok so I read it over, and from what I can understand if I do pokerus+macho brace I get 4x5 with hordes and this works even if I use exp share, correct?
Correct. But it is better to use a Power item over Macho Brace, because a Power item gives 2 Pokerus x (4 Power item + 1 EV per Pokemon) x 5 Pokemon = 50 EVs per horde.
That's right (assuming the Pokemon you face earns you 1 EV), and yes it works with the Exp Share. You'd be better off with the Power Item though rather than the Macho Brace. Assuming 1 EV from the Pokemon and Pokerus, you'd get [(1 EV per Pokemon) + (4 EV from Power Item)] * (2 from Pokerus) * (5 Pokemon per horde) = 50 per horde
edit: so close, yet so ninja'd
Yes, but it's far more efficient to use the Power series of items. (Power Bracer, Power Anklet, etc.) You can get up to 10 EV's per Pokemon battled, for a total of 50 per horde. It's also impossible to have more than 252 EV's in any one given stat this generation, so there's no worry about potentially wasted EV's.
Thanks for clarifying! One last question, if that is the case and lets say I want to do 252 evs in SpA it would take only five horde battles to get it done right?
If the Pokemon you are fighting give 1 EV each, it would take 6 battles to get 252. If you do only 5 battles, 5 x 50 = 250 so it is not enough.
Speaking of hordes, I've been using them for a while but without pokerus. I just felt like spreading it takes longer than it's worth although I have a few Pokemon in my pc with it. Is this thought unfounded? How easy is it to spread pokerus to the desired Pokemon that needs the ev's?
What I do is the Pokemon in my party that uses Sweet Scent has Pokerus. I fill my party with the Pokemon to be trained. Then I just keep fighting hordes until the EVs are full (most Pokemon use 6/252/252 spreads). So I do not worry about spreading first then fighting. You should always use Pokerus.
Pokerus can spread after 1 battle or it can take 10 battles. It is random chance after every battle but I do not know exactly what %.

It's fairly easy to spread Pokerus, it's just up to chance if it spreads to uninfected teammates. I'd ensure a Pokemon with Sweet Scent has an active form of Pokerus, (Tropius works well for this, as it can also serve to fight the hordes itself) and infect as many Pokemon as I can that I plan to train with it, while keeping EXP Share off until I'm ready to start training them. (usually as I'm battling individual Pokemon to try and spread Pokerus) I believe you can run from battles and still have it spread through your party.
Honestly, it's more time-consuming to get the Power items that assist in EV training than it is to spread Pokerus.
