Mastering Pokémon battles in Scarlet & Violet, whether you're tackling five- and six-star Tera Raids or climbing the ranked ladder, hinges on strategic stat distribution. Simply leveling up through random encounters will leave your Pokémon with suboptimal stats. Fortunately, efficiently farming Attack EVs is achievable. This guide highlights the best locations.

Pokémon Center Area – North Province (Area Two)

A community favorite, this northeastern area (near Team Star's Fighting Crew base) boasts a high concentration of Pokémon yielding Attack EVs, including Lokix, Scyther, Bisharp, Heracross, Dratini, and Ursaring. Note that not all Pokémon here offer purely Attack EVs; Falinks, for example, also boosts Special Defense. Consistent battles are key for maximizing Attack gains.

Eastern Edge of Porto Marinada

For predictable EV gains, the eastern outskirts of Porto Marinada offer groups of Paldean Tauros. Each defeated Tauros yields 2 Attack EVs, boosted to 10 with a Power Bracer, allowing precise EV control.

How to Use the Power Bracer for EV Training

Before embarking on your EV training, equip the Power Bracer. This item, purchased for 10,000 Pokédollars at Delibird Presents (Mesagoza, Levincia, and Cascarrafa), grants an additional +8 Attack EVs per defeated Pokémon, significantly accelerating your training. This is a more cost-effective alternative to vitamins.

Best Pokémon for EV Attack Training

Flamigo

Common near lakes and swamps, Flamigo appear at various levels, making them suitable for early-game training (South Province lakes near Grasswither Shrine). Higher-level Flamigo (around level 50) are found at Casseroya Watchtower No. 1, particularly during "Encounter Power: Fighting" outbreaks. Avoid level 9-20 Flamigo, which may possess the "Detect" ability.

Paldean Tauros

Found in central-western and central-eastern regions, Paldean Tauros usually appear in groups of five, especially with "Encounter Power: Fighting" bonuses. Hunting them south of Levincia is recommended. While some possess "Intimidate," they remain efficient for mid-level training.

EV Attack Training Recommendations

Both Flamigo and Paldean Tauros are excellent choices, yielding 2 Attack EVs each (10 with the Power Bracer). Remember, only use *Paldean* Tauros; regular Tauros only grant 1 EV. The "Tropical Sandwich" ("Encounter Power: Fighting Lv. 1") enhances finding Fighting-type Pokémon. Kelpsy Berries can be used to reduce EVs if you accidentally overshoot the 252 cap.

Efficient EV training requires patience and planning. Utilize the North Province Area Two for rapid EV gains, equip the Power Bracer, and target Flamigo or Paldean Tauros during outbreaks. Avoid auto-battles and Pokémon with hindering abilities for optimal efficiency.
