Horde EV Training Pokemon XY

Best Way to Adjust your EV Gain:

Pokerus – doubles EVs gained, can be combined with Macho Brace and Power Items

Macho Brace – doubles EVs gained, halves holder’s Speed, can be combined with Pokerus

Power Items – give 4 additional EV points to a corresponding stat, halves holder’s Speed, can be combined with Pokerus

In XY, you can find Macho Brace lying on the ground at Route 15, Power Weight (+HP), Power Bracer (+Atk), Power Belt (+Def), Power Lens (+SAtk), Power Band (+SDef) and Power Anklet (+Speed) can be purchased in Battle Maison (Kiloude City) for 16 BP each.

Calculations for EVs per Pokemon Defeated: Example: Geodude has a base EV value of 1 in Defense Graveler has 2 in Defense and Golem has 3 in Defense

Now using the below combinations will multiply how many EV's you get 

Base 3 points:

Pokérus / Macho Brace: 6 EVs

Pokérus + Macho Brace: 12 EVs

Pokérus + Power Item: 14 EVs

Base 2 points:

Pokérus / Macho Brace: 4 EVs

Pokérus + Macho Brace: 8 EVs

Pokérus + Power Item: 12 EVs

Base 1 point:

Pokérus / Macho Brace: 2 EVs

Pokérus + Macho Brace: 4 EVs

Pokérus + Power Item: 10 EVs

So NOTE: if you battle a Horde of Geodudes and defeat them your Pokemon will get 5 EV points just as is, but if the pokemon has Pokérus + Macho Brace
then your Pokemon will get 20 EV points.
