I was wondering, in the 4th gen games, where things like the power anklet and power band were introduced, whether the 4 EV's given by this are multiplied by Pokerus? Also, I can't seem to find anyone who uses them (the macho brace seems preferred) - is there something about them that means they shouldn't be used fro EV training?

Yes, their bonus is also multiplied by Pokerus. For example, fighting a Rattata while holding a Power Anklet and having Pokerus will grant you a total of (1+4)*2 = 10 Speed EVs.
Just like Macho Brace, they cut the user's speed when held, so the only reason to prefer the former is because its cheaper and easier to find.
Don't forget that the Power Items also affect Breeding in HGSS, making them vastly superior.

Okay - so 25 Rattatas will nearly max out your speed EV. I'm off to do that...
And am I right in thinking that holding the correct Power item will cause the IV to be bred down?

Yes you are correct. The IVs will be bred down. It doesn't matter which parent you give it to.
I reccomend using Smogon's guide to EVing, it will answer basically any question you have.

It doesn't have the HGSS changes, however (such as the IV/Power item thing)
