And who's to say that the Chansey can't just throw in their extra EV in Speed too and efforts of outspeeding become de facto worthless. Fact of the matter is that it IS speed creeping and it's not a "really big purpose" since you aren't coming close to 2HKO'ing Chansey which shouldn't even matter since Speed Creeping is not wanted. Plus, who uses Tangrowth (you're going to use Priority on it anyways.. nice point?) and how would an Azumarill (who should be running 44 Speed EV's for Blissey anyways which I will propose in its update) know how many speed EV's you were using anyways unless it has already Waterfall'ed?

Allocate the Speed EV to HP and I think the one set is good :]

Also @ alka regarding 36 HP-- most Choice'd sets (most common kind from observation cba to check %'s atm) lack HP EV's and you lose a defensive benchmark which 176 provides. But idk, maybe you're right :x
