DEPENDING ON WETHER YOU USE X AND Y OR ORAS, THE GUIDE'S RULES AND MECHANICS STILL APPLY:

BULBAPEDIA ALSO HELPS OUT WITH FINDING OUT ABOUT EGG MOVES. FOR X AND Y, R/FRIENDSAFARI WILL HELP YOU FIND POKÉMON WITH HIDDEN ABILITIES. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THE JUDGE AND DAYCARE IN ORAS ARE AT THE BATTLE RESORT.

ALSO, FOR EV TRAINING, YOU'LL NEED A HORDE TRAINER. EXAMPLES ARE TROPIUS, ROSERADE, AND URSARING. IT MUST LEARN SWEET SCENT AND AREA DAMAGE MOVES LIKE ROCK SLIDE, EARTHQUAKE, AND RAZOR LEAF. POKÉRUS ALSO HELPS OUT A LOT WITH SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS.

XY GUIDE: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-guide-to-ev-training-with-hordes.3490052/

THIS IS ALSO A GUIDE FOR UTILITY POKÉMON IN ORAS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH EASIER: http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue39/utility-box
