That is... Do both multiply EVs received by 2 or are the values different?

Best answer

The Macho Brace and the Power Items do not give out the same EV output. The Macho Brace doubles the ammount of EVs gained. Say a Pokemon that gives out 2 EVs, is defeated while holding a Macho Brace, you'll be gaining 4 EVs in that stat instead. The Power Items add a total of 4 extra EVs in a stat when used. Meaning if you defeat said Pokemon, but hold the Power Items instead, you'll get a total of 6 EVs, due to them adding 4 more EVs in the end. Basically:

Macho Brace: Doubles EVs of the Pokemon you're facing

Power Items: Adds 4 EVs in the end after you defeat a Pokemon
