Can i get a good reason as to why we still haven't changed the EVs on the defensive set to 252/252+? And lol pls no ''to outspeed Breloom'' bs because:

1. Gliscor is a bad Breloom switch-in
2. Gliscor can't do much to Breloom anyway, as Ice Fang is not even slashed first, and even Ice Fang does a measly 41.37 - 49.04% to 0 HP / 0 Def Breloom. Outspeeding and finishing of Breloom with Gliscor should only be an option in desperate situations and an EV spread of a main set shouldn't be made to account for such situations
3. It is actually better to be slower than SubPunch Breloom, in order to be able to Roost and not get mauled by Focus Punch / Seed Bomb

Are we really going to throw away 72 EVs on a physical wall to outspeed a non-existent threat (max Speed Ttar) and a threat that Gliscor shouldn't be taking on in the majority of the time anyway? Not to mention that with a fully defensive spread Gliscor is now able to counter CB Terrakion and deal with SubSD Rock Gem Terrakion much better.
