These Training Hotspots are only available to players who have reached Port Decca and beyond, training for upcoming plot-related big fights on Crescent Island. View other tabs to the right for earlier hotspots.

Experience Points

Beach Bum Joe under the stairs for fish market on Decca Beach.

A late addition of the game features the opening of Decca Beach and introduces a new EXP training spot — the only Trainer over there named Beach Bum Joe, with his party providing a sum of 7528 EXP Points, overriding Punk Guy Nathaniel by a bit more than 700 EXP to become the ideal EXP grinding place. At this point of the game, destructive attacks are expected and all 3 of his Pokémon possess those moves, so be extra careful when battling him.

Money

With the Scientists in Secret Lab saying no for rematches, Rising Star Darren on Route 11 remains as the best Trainer for getting rich quickly with his reward of 2760 dollars upon victory. As always, be cautious with Krokorok's Foul Play inflicting massive damage, Trapinch's Ability Arena Trap preventing switching, and also the persistent sandstorm which can wear down any Pokémon that are not at least partially Ground, Rock or Steel.

Black Belt Hagar on Route 13 is a decent alternative for players who have teams vulnerable to sandstorms, Foul Play and Ground-type attacks. His money reward is almost 2600 dollars, only slightly lower than that of Darren.

Effort Values

HP

No new HP grinding spot has appeared, so Mountaineer Tawnya on Route 15 continues to be the only Trainer in Roria to qualify as HP Training Hotspot. Her party gives 4 HP EVs in total, but her Piloswine also gives 1 Physical Attack EV, so players need to bring Pokémon which also have to train in that stat and turn EXP Share off if they have bought this game pass. Otherwise, they will be required to spend some BP and purchase Attack Reset items in BP Shop, Colosseum Marketplace.

	Snorunt	Ice	Lv. 55	Inner Focus	None	707	1 HP

Should the additional Physical Attack EV from Tawnya's Piloswine prove to be disruptive, players can fall back to the alternative spot on Route 14 train for HP EVs. Loudred and Clefairy give out 2 HP EVs, while Makuhita gives 1 HP EV. These 3 species are the targets among those Wild Pokémon in that huge cavern.

Note: Rarity levels are estimations according to this scale and might be subject to changes due to different encounter assessment results.

Pokémon	Type	Image	Rarity	Items	EV Yield
Walking		Cave		Lv. 32-36
Makuhita	Fighting		Common	None	1 HP
Loudred	Normal		Uncommon	None	2 HP
Clefairy	Fairy		Uncommon	None	2 HP

Roaming Pokémon are not* listed in the table above. They are fixed at Lv. 40 and have a 0.1% chance of appearing anywhere in Roria with wild encounter methods specified here.*

Physical Attack

In addition to the money he gives, Rising Star Darren on Route 11 is excellent as always when it comes to Physical Attack EVs. His team grants 5 Attack EVs — one less than other hotspots players may recognize, but he does not provide any unwanted EVs. Be on the alert for the afore-mentioned threats, namely Krokorok's Foul Play, Trapinch's Ability Arena Trap and also the constant sandstorm.

Adventurer Tanner on Route 15 can also be used to train in Physical Attack EVs. His party provides a total of 6 Physical Attack EVs, one more than Darren's team in fact. Unfortunately, there is an unwanted EV stashed in, so similar to the drill on Mountaineer Tawnya's Piloswine, players may need to bring some other Pokémon that also needs Sp. Def EVs to defeat Tanner's Beedrill, or purchase Sp. Def Reset items.

Physical Defense

No new Trainer has ever threatened the position of Hiker Jackson, located on Cragonos Cliffs, being the ideal Trainer for Physical Defense EVs. His squad of Kantonian Geodude family offers 6 Defense EVs upon defeat. Be wary of the devastating attack Self-Destruct and the Ability Sturdy preventing instant knockout.

Special Attack

The popular demand on a true Special Attack grinding location is finally heeded. In addition to a huge amount of EXP points, Beach Bum Joe — the only Trainer on Decca Beach, happens to completely outclass Igneus Depths and becomes the greatest Sp. Atk training ground as well. His 3 powerful Pokémon offer a total of 7 Sp. Atk EVs when defeated. Players are warned again that Joe's Pokémon hit extremely hard with their attacks like Petal Dance, Hydro Pump and Leaf Storm.

Special Defense

The Flower Garden on Route 10.

The lack of Trainers mainly giving out Special Defense EVs persists into such a late stage of this game, so players are once again required to return for the Flower Garden on Route 10 if they are going for Special Defense EVs. Simply defeat anything, but Petilil, and players can gradually rack up on Sp. Def EVs for their Pokémon.

Note: Rarity levels are estimations according to this scale and might be subject to changes due to different encounter assessment results.

Pokémon	Type	Image		Rarity	Items	EV Yield
Garden		Flowers			Lv. 20-23

Speed

There is a Trainer posing great potential to be the new Speed hotspot in Cosmeos Valley, only to refuse any rematches. Therefore, Camper Pal on Route 9 continues living up to his name and holds the record to be the optimal Trainer for players to earn Speed EVs, as he gives 5 Speed EVs in total. Just watch out for his Grovyle's Pursuit plus the threat of paralysis induced by his Pichu.
