I have a question about an EV spread on a Rhydon with Eviolite.

But firstly, a bit of information. I don't play competitively, so I would only be playing on the Battle Subway. This means I very rarely switch my Pokemon out, if ever.

I was wondering if it would be better for my particular set to either put 252 EVs into HP or SPD instead of into SPE. I want to make it a Rock Polisher, so I don't know if pumping EVs into its defenses would help him withstand more hits AND help him become a decent (albeit bulky) sweeper.

I understand he has a x4 weakness to both Grass and Water, but I'm not sure if putting 252 in HP/SPD would even help :(

TL;DR

252 EVs into HP, SPD, or SPE for a Rock Polisher Rhydon w/Eviolite?
