Super Power Items

[AcousticAdrian]

EV training can be a tedious and time consuming process. What if there were an item that was more difficult to earn, but would save time in the long run by making EV training quicker?

So, I thought it would be interesting if Super Power Items were introduced. Instead of the regular +4 EV boost gained from regular Power Items, Super Power Items would give a +9 EV boost. With Vitamins, Super Power Items would reduce the amount of battles necessary to fully EV train a Pokemon (assuming you encounter a Pokemon which gives +1 to the desired EV each time) from 32 battles to 17!

Super Power Items would cost double the amount of B.P. (32), requiring the player to put in a good effort to earn them. Once obtained, a full set of Super Power Items would greatly reduce the time it takes to fully EV train a competitive team, meaning the player can devote more time into crafting a competitive team, and less time into tediously battling wild Pokemon for the required stats.

For players who want to get a competitive team set up in the short run, regular Power Items would still be in the game for 16 B.P.

Super Power Items are an interesting Idea. A pretty good idea for the Meta, as well.
Considering you don't have too many options in Poke'mon if you want to make a perfect team, It seems you just move to perfect EV, followed by a good item used.
(Ex: Alakazam EV focus on SP. ATK. and Speed Holding a Twisted spoon [or something similar])

Even something After Super items would be nice, but they would lower stats.

+15 in a stat, -10/whatever in another.

(my opinion on the subject....nothing more)
i think reducing the amount of battles necessary from 150 ( after using vitamins if going for 250 EV's and assuming all battles give 1EV+ ) to 17 is kinda ridiculous and eliminate the "little" fun that EV training gives.
also, Fully EV training a Pokemon shouldn't take more than an hour which isn't that long considering the time it would take to breed the right nature/gender/move set/IV's, and you can always EV train more than 1 poke at the same time with "Exp Share"
i wouldn't mind the +4EV items, but +9 is a bit too much!

are the normal power items even in the game yet?

my point exactly!

I believe normal power items should be added as this makes EV training accessible to more people
At the same time however it should be reasonably tedious and take reasonable effort so the end product is something you have spent time on and are proud of
If ev training becomes too easy then the rewards will be less fulfilling

Even if just the macho brace was added, it would make things much easier. Right now we have nothing, which is a painstaking grind for the most part, even when doubling up with the exp share.
