Actually, has ANYBODY found a Macho Brace? Serebii lists the item but doesn't give a location for some reason, and all of the search results for sun and moon macho brace are just people not knowing where it is.

Has nobody found it yet or what?

it is faster to get the power items because they give you 8 instead of 4 like past gens now

so no, pokerus + item of choice + sos chains will max out your stat of choice in 7 SOSs

Yeah, I was thinking Clefable or Togekiss might make her serviceable but hadn't bred those up yet. Aurora Veil I didn't think of since figured it would be really unreliable if it needed hail up to remain, but apparently even if hail fades it stays around so it's much better than I thought.

And if somebody doesn't have access to 2 of the things in your 3-item list? I didn't say it was the fastest, but there's something to be said for convenience, especially if the alternative comes from the battle facilities.

Which is the whole reason someone would need EV-boosting items in the first place.

The Macho Brace doesn't seem to be obtainable at all. Probably because the Power Items were used over it in the past generations, and the latter got buffed big time this gen.

well lets see, lets assume macho brace was a thing in sun moon and doubled IV gains. do you want to SOS chain 63 mons for one stat, and then 63 mons for another stat, and have to do this every single time you want to EV train, or do you want to spend a couple hours getting all your EV items from battle royal, trade for pokerus with literally anyone in this thread, because its common as hell, and then SOS chain 7 dudes for one stat and 7 dudes for another stat and exponentially decrease how long it takes you to do this process

i guess all this is moot tho because macho brace isn't a thing, so lol

In fairness, if the Brace was accessible without spending BP it would be a good way to bootstrap into power items.

i really don't think it would be, i rolled into BR with the absolute worst ultra beasts imaginable (i think i had a buzzwole that beast boosted his defense over his attack) and still managed to grind out three of the items i needed and i legit think its a faster process vs a single macho brace and grinding SOSs

If this is after Red and Blue, then Oak will most likely give her an Eevee, which would give Gamefreak a perfect opportunity to release more Eeveelutions like Fighting, Poison, Steel.

I thought every time a Pokemon was SOS called, their EV gains were doubled, which means with a double EV gain item, you need about 14 or so murders.

TM use now increases happiness, so take two TMs that are learnable by that pokemon and swap between the two. Don't know if it's faster than Mr. Tauros' Wild Ride, though.

no, sos doubles their initial EV value, so 1 becomes 2 and it stays like that for each SOS, the doubling doesn't keep happening

I think the only legendary that isn't shiny locked is Type: Null.

Also the Power Items give out 8 EVs instead of 4. So on top of the appropriate EV, you would be getting 36 EVs per kill if the Pokemon only gives out 1 EV normally, 40, if they give out 2, and 44 if they give out 3.

Macho Brace only doubles the EVs, so on top of Pokerus and the SOS multiplier, you would only be getting 8 EVs per kill if the Pokemon only gives out 1 EV, 16 per kill if they give out 2, and 24 per kill if they give out 3. The Macho Brace is far more inefficient.
