Macho Brace defect is lowers speed. What speed exactly? EV? or the naturally speed stat increase every level up? (EV training a Rayquaza 'perfectly')
It just means that your Pokemon's speed is slightly lowered in battle while it's holding the macho brace; as though something had used a speed-lowering attack (string shot, for example) on it.
It doesn't lower your EV's, infact that's the whole point of using the macho brace, to gain the extra EV's in battle (for example; while holding the mach brace, Wurmple will give you 2 HP EV's, Linoone will give you 4 Speed EV's, ect)
