Best answer

R/S/E: Route 102/117/Petalburg City. All locations have a 100% chance of fishing a Corphish when using super rod. If playing Sapphire or Emerald, Mt. Pyre floors 1-3 have guaranteed Shuppet spawns.

FR/LG: Mt Moon B1F. 100% Paras spawns.

D/P/Pt: Twinleaf Town. Super Rod fishing in lake nets only Seaking and Gyarados, 2evs each.

HG/SS: Route 42. Surfing only yields Goldeen and Seaking.

B/W: Dragonspiral Tower Interior. All encounters give Atk evs.

B2/W2: Dragonspiral Tower Interior/ Route 4. Tower is the same as above, just higher level. Route 4 has Sandile, Scraggy, and Darumaka making up 75% of the encounters.

X/Y: Route 20/14. Both have 60% Weepinbell/Bellsprout Horde encounters while also having 5% Arbok/Evans encounters.

OR/AS: Mt. Pyre. 100% Shuppet Horde encounters.

S/M/US/UM: Route 1. SoS chain Pikipek or Yungoos for double evs per defeated mon.

Sw/Sh: Route 8. Pawniard, Gurdurr, and Golett are over half the spawns.

S/V South Province Area 3. Shinx and Yungoos spawn in abundance between the Pokémon Center and Mesagoza. Further down Growlithe spawns occasionally as well. Can use a sandwich to Increase encounter odds.

Hope this helps.

DIAMOND/PEARL/PLATINUM spots:

At Twinleaf Town, the super rod always hooks either Gyarados or Seaking, both of which give 2 EVs.
At the top end of Route 210 (east of Celestic Town), you'll find Bibarel (2 EVs), Machop (1 EV), Machoke (2 EVs) and Scyther (1 EV). You can also get Bagon (1 EV) with the PokeRadar and Zangoose (2 EVs) with Ruby in the GBA slot.

HEARTGOLD/SOULSILVER spots:

Surf on Route 42 to find Goldeen (1 EV) and Seaking (2 EVs).

A better place in DPPt is super rod at Twinleaf Town. It's always either Gyarados or Seaking, both of which give 2 physical attack EVs.

Black/White also Icirrus City, grass fields. Lots of Attack and the occasional Deerling (speed). Beware of winter, where you will meet Vanillish also.

Well, in my SS, I LUCKILY Got the Pokerus and trained my Sceptile to have excellent attack on wild Seakings in the water in Mt. Silver. My Sceptiles' attack goes up 4 points every lvl which is awesome. So if you have the pokerus in any of your games, you could trade or migrate them and get double the evs to get extra strong stats!

Why do you answer your own questions?
Because, these questions aren't just for Pokemaster, they provide information for the whole community. :)

Black 2/White 2/Black/White:
Normal grass (non shaking) just outside Dragonspiral tower.
Druddigon,Mienshao, Sawsbuck, Tranquill
All give 2 attack EV. If not winter then these are the only Pokemons you will encounter.
Diamond and Pearl:
There are no areas with only attack EV rewarding Pokemon.
But best area is route 212.
Kricketune, Bidarel-2 each. There appearance rate is significantly higher than the other Pokemons in the area.

Of course there are areas with only attack EV rewarding Pokemon. Twinleaf Town had only Gyarados and Seaking if you use a super rod.
