Is It Better to Run Max HP or Distibute EVs in Defences?
Aug. 4, 2016I was curious on whether running HP or mixed defences was optimal for getting the enduring hits on a bulkier, high damage Pokemon. Let’s use this hypothetical set-up:
Reuniclus@ Life OrbAbility: Magic GuardQuiet NatureEVs: 252 SpA/252 HPOR252 SpA/~150 Def/~100SpD-Psyshock-Focus Blast-Shadow Ball-Trick Room
Which one is bulkier? My brother runs these types of setups all of the time, and I want to know if he does it right or not.

For that specific set it’s more suited to a Special Tank so I would put the IVs in Sp. Defence. But it all bases on the type of Pokemon you want to run, for a Wall Pokemon put IVs in HP but for a tank put them in either Defence or Sp. Defence
