Could anyone help me find out where the best EV training hotspots in Platinum are? Thanks.
 
Think this belongs in the SQ,SA thread, but gotta say, I'd definitely like some suggestions for hotspots myself...
 
Well, Idk about wild Pokemon hotspots, but you can use the VS Seeker. These are the places I usually go to:

HP-Just underneath the Seaside resort (the one that will take you to Sunyshore if you travel east.) He's a young tuber and he's got three Gastrodon. 6 EVs for ya.

Attack-Cycling road. The biker standing right before the road splits in two (assuming you start from Eterna.) You'll need two fight him once or twice before he starts giving 6 Attack EVs (Staraptor, Farfetch'd, Dodrio)

Defense-Just about any hiker. My personal favorite is above Orebourgh. He'll be on a raised platform type thing... He'll have four Geodude and one Onyx for a total of 5 EVs

Sp. Attack-The ocean route just before Pastoria. You have to swim east and the first time you battle the male swimmer it can be in a double battle. He'll have two Golduck for a total of 4 Evs

Sp. Defense-South of Veilstone, the Beauty who has three Wormadam. She's actually the only trainer in Platinum who exclusively gives out Sp. Def Evs. You get 6 of them

Speed-The fisher to the west of Eterna. You know the one. He's got six Magikarp. That's 6 EVs for free

I hope this helps someone.
 
I use
route 201 wild bidoof for hp ev's
route 208 wild bibarel for att ev's
route 201 wild starly for speed ev's
any water route wild tentacool for sp def ev's
the Old Chateau for sp att ev's
 
Sp. Defense-South of Veilstone, the Beauty who has three Wormadam. She's actually the only trainer in Platinum who exclusively gives out Sp. Def Evs. You get 6 of them
According to Bulbapedia, Wormadam gives out 1 Def EV and 1 Sp.Def EV, not 2 Sp.Def EVs.
 
I use:

Atk - Fish with the super rod at the sendoff spring. Seakings and Gyarados for 2 Atk EV's each.

SpA - Surf at the sendoff spring. Golducks for 2 SpA EV's each.

Spe - Fish at resort area. Magikarp for 1 EV each.

Def - Ruin Maniac Cave. Geodude and Hippopatas for 1 EV each.

I like those 3 places because you get a 100% encounter rate for each of the respective EV's. That way you don't have to worry about running into something that will give the wrong EV.
