Like I said previously, the slowest method of EV training (battling 252 Magikarps for 252 Speed EVs) will keep people occupied.

A good way of getting high stats is to use carbos/protein/zinc and all those stat raisers when your pokemon is at a low level.
because each time you use one you get 10ev's and ev's grow when you raise your poke up a level

I know but you won't get them or even the Macho Brace until Goldenrod City, hence my suggestion perfectly suitable... Unless of course you trade from DPPt but some people, including me, can't do that because both games are in the same flash cart and I only got 1 flash cart.
I only used the Macho Brace when I EV trained my team and when I got to Lance, I barely had a scratch from his Dragonites... So by doing that, your Pokemon will get some levels as well (but not a lot from the Magikarps

same here and in platinum i have an awesome Lugia, arceus,Garchomp, Latios and darkrai all ev trained so they have great stats.(BTW pokerus raises your ev's by a lot. pity you have like a 1 in 10,000 chance of being infected unless you cheat)
I have pokemon diamond cart though.

really? i would rather attempt to trade like a power lens, anklet etc. from platinum to SoulSilver. I would also train my pokemon to level 30 because of Whitneys Miltank's attract and rollout!
