They did make it easier. Next time, instead of macho brace give it power anklet.
The power items you can win at the battle tower also give EV's. Each one gives +4 to the gain of the EV it corresponds to after every battle the pokemon participates in. Since pokerus multiplies EV gain AFTER the items you are holding gives EVs then you would gain 10 EV's for each starly you kill this way, 12 for killing a staravia, and 14 for killing anything that gives +3 speed EV's.
The power items are:
power brace (atk)
Power lens (s.atk)
Power anklet (spd)
Power weight (HP)
Power band (s.def)
Power belt (def)
Any guide that doesn't mention these items is incomplete.
Also, you should probably edit the bit about the berries that lower EV's into the guide. I tend to use them a lot if I think I've screwed up and decide to change.

I'm pretty sure at the time of that post, WeedTea didn't know about these power items. (nor did anyone else in this forum =P)

True. I found out a little before I read that post but was to lazy to put it in the guide <.<
Then he called it incomplete so I had to. :P

Ummm. If you find the right place to EV train, it'll be a lot quicker.
Best places I've found (using Exp Share, and a stronger pokemon to kill):
Speed: Victory Road Surfing. 100% Golbats for 2 Speed EVs each. Want more? Put macho brace on your pokemon, go into battle, and switch to a stronger one. 4 EVs each.
HP: Outside Pal Park, Gastrodons and Skuntanks for 2 HP EVs each. HP EV Training is the hardest one, because you find a lot of other junk here too.
Attack: West of Pastoria City (rainy area) for Kricketunes and Bibarels. 2 Attack EV's each.
Sp Atk: The pool in the bottom right corner of Resort Area. Surf in there for 100% Golducks for 2 SP. Atk EVs each. Same tip as above for Speed EV's.
Sp Def: Surf Above Sunyshore City for Tentacruels. 2 Sp Def Each.
Defense: Iron Island Cave. Mostly Gravelers for 2 Def each, Onix for 1 Def each.
Edit: WeedTea, want to add this to the first post?

Maybe I'll put some but I have better ideas for others. Personally I think its better to EV Train by battling weak pokemon considering when EV Training weak pokemon you don't have to use Exp. Share and when EV Training stronger pokemon you will be able to defeat them quicker.

What's wrong with using exp share? It gets the same job done. (It doesn't split the EV's)
You have a stronger pokemon who can kill a lot faster... why not use it?

Holding Power items is much better. And with Pokerus it becomes awesomer.

Then hold the power item. Go in battle with the pokemon as first, then switch out.
You get 2 EV + 4 EV. Instead of 1 + 4
with Pokerus, you'd be getting 4 + 4.
With Macho Brace instead (with Pokerus), you'd be getting 8.
Edit: WeedTea, want to battle it out ? :P

No, that's not how it works.
You'd get 2 EVs and with the Power Items you get 4 more. So it's be 2 + 4.
And with Pokerus it'd be: 2 x (2 + 4). Which would give you 12.
