If Bolt does <76 dmg per hit, Cune can PP stall it

...

Turn 7: Thunderbolt max dmg (118), Cune CM, Lefties, 99 HP left.

Dmg calc 187spA Bolt vs 202 sD = 68-70-72-74-76-78-80 dmg (probability 3/16 - 2/16 - 3/16 - 2/16 – 3/16 – 2/16 – 1/16. Cune lives through 3x76, so I would need dmg rolls lower than rand. 98-100.

Turn 8: Thunderbolt, Cune Rest.
Turn 9: Thunderbolt 78 dmg, Lefties, 139 HP.
Turn 10: Thunderbolt 74 dmg, Lefties, 77 HP.
Turn 11: Thunderbolt, Cune fainted.
This is obviously way after the fact, but... wouldn't obtaining a 31/x/31/31/31/31 Suicune and splitting 8 Def EVs between SpA and SpD make a not insignificant difference to these "close" situations (where Suicune needs to dodge high rolling special attacks)? What situations require that extra Def point?

IVs: 31-x-31-31-31-31
EV spread: 236-0-236-4-4-30
Lv.50: 205-x-181-111-136-109

I ran the numbers and apparently this would've made no difference in your loss, but...
