Monotype EV and Sets Compendium

Hello everyone, and welcome to Monotype's EV & Set compendium. This thread is a resource designed to assist old and new players alike in choosing the best EVs and sets for each Pokemon in Monotype.

I often see Bug types with an even amount of HP, or Charizard-Y on Fire teams running unnecessary Flying coverage when Defog would've been a better option.This resource sets out to inform players as to how to avoid making these sorts of mistakes while giving them the most optimal set. Hopefully, people can also discuss viable, and alternate sets and spreads for certain Pokemon. (A lot of these sets were taken from the Viability Rankings)

In this thread, you may suggest EV spreads and natures for Pokemon listed C and above (standard or otherwise). If the spread and nature you are suggesting is not standard, you must provide rationale for why these non-standard spreads are viable. Please do not suggest gimmicks, and please be polite when discussing spreads.

How to Contribute

Follow what I did here:
For Chansey (Normal)

Physically Defensive with Rocks

Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave / Toxic
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss

Alternate spreads: Bold, 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD (Checks Knock Off Landorus-I)
Alternate moves: Wish instead of Soft-Boiled, and Protect instead of Thunder Wave / Toxic.

Including additional spreads to speed creep these new EV spreads is discouraged (unless there is a specific target you are providing creep for), as speed creeping has to end at some point.

Always be sure to back up your argument with damage calculations (if applicable) or the speed of the Pokemon you are attempting to check or counter.

Slowbro (M) @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
- Scald
- Fire Blast

Alternate moves: Psyshock

Fire Blast is for things like Scizor, Ferrothorn, Forretress etc. but the main reason I like it is because when battling Steel Magnezone tends to be the opponent's switch-in from Heatran. If you Scald it does around 30% and then it's gonna Volt Switch and basically get a kill with the mon it brings in. Psyshock provides another STAB move so you're not walled by Keldeo or something which you can just solve with something else on your team.

Colbur Berry helps Slowbro take hits from things like Hoopa-U, +2 Bisharp, Hydreigon, Mega-Gyarados, M-Sharpedo, Weavile etc. and TWave them. It comes in handy a lot more than one would think, by far my favorite item for Slowbro.

252 SpA Choice Specs Hydreigon Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Colbur Berry Slowbro: 222-262 (56.3 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Colbur Berry Slowbro: 243-289 (61.6 - 73.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (just to show that it can take a Dark Pulse from fully special Hoopa-U, fully special attacking Hoopa-U is rare)
+2 252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Colbur Berry Slowbro: 274-324 (69.5 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Sharpedo (M) @ Life Orb

Hasty Nature
- Protect
- Crunch
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

Alternate spread: 252 Atk / 32 SpA /224 Spe

Because of it's odd speed tier, 224 evs in speed is used to outspeed Scarfed Landorus-T after a Protect.

Mixed Sharpedo is a very nice lure to things like Mandibuzz, Skarmory and Garchomp, very fun and effective set.

92 SpA Life Orb Sharpedo Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Mandibuzz: 187-221 (44.2 - 52.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
92 SpA Life Orb Sharpedo Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 76 SpD Garchomp: 374-442 (89 - 105.2%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
92 SpA Life Orb Sharpedo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 216-255 (64.6 - 76.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

The alternate set with max attack EVs can be used if you wanna have a higher chance of OHKOing Victini from full or killing a weakened Slowbro.

252 Atk Life Orb Sharpedo Crunch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Victini: 322-382 (94.4 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
192 Atk Life Orb Sharpedo Crunch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Victini: 307-361 (90 - 105.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt

- Earthquake
- Roost / Knock Off

Alternate spreads:
EVs: 248 HP / 204 SpDef / 56 Spe
Careful Nature
(SpDef Gliscor set)

Timid Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave / Focus Blast

Alternate moves:
Iron Tail - Can bop Mega Diancie, but other than that its pretty useless
Taunt - Can be used to prevent status, but the bulk from assault vest is pretty hard to give up
Superpower - Can bop certain special walls that want to switchin, but overall Focus Blast is better (assuming you don't miss)


(I treated the alternate moves as moves not normally run, and instead slashed all the regular moves into the actual set)

For Hoopa-U (Psychic)

Mixed Wallbreaker

Hoopa-Unbound @ Life Orb
Ability: Magician
EVs: 112 Atk / 144 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Knock Off
- Energy Ball
- Drain Punch
- Dark Pulse

Alternate moves: Gunk Shot, Hyperspace Fury, Hyperspace Hole, Zen Headbutt
Alternate spread: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe

Knock Off is mostly there to cripple Eviolite abusers, notably Chansey and Porygon2 which can be very annoying. Dark Pulse lures Slowbro, Skarmory and Ferrothorn. Energy Ball is a great move vs Water teams, also good for killing Hippowdon turn 1 vs Ground if they want to lead off with it. Drain Punch is there for Steel types, notably Empoleon and Heatran who are most often specially defensive. Gunk Shot is useful vs Fairy, Hyperspace Fury is a harder hitting physical Dark STAB move that can deal with Pokemon behind Substitute, Protect abusers and most importantly Aegislash. Psychic STAB is option although that's what I recommend the least.

You don't need investment to OHKO Slowbro with Dark Pulse, so you can use the alternate spread if you don't care about OHKOing Rotom-W, Hippowdon, Keldeo and most likely other mons that I can't think of atm.

144 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Slowbro: 460-541 (116.7 - 137.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
144 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 261-308 (78.1 - 92.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
144 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Energy Ball vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Hippowdon: 382-452 (90.9 - 107.6%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
144 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Energy Ball vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Rotom-W: 276-325 (91 - 107.2%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
112 Atk Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Drain Punch vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 218-257 (56.6 - 66.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
112 Atk Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Drain Punch vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Empoleon: 250-296 (67.3 - 79.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Slowbro (Psychic)

Physically Defensive Colbur Berry

Slowbro (M) @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
- Scald
- Fire Blast

Alternate moves: Psyshock

Fire Blast is for things like Scizor, Ferrothorn, Forretress etc. but the main reason I like it is because when battling Steel Magnezone tends to be the opponent's switch-in from Heatran. If you Scald it does around 30% and then it's gonna Volt Switch and basically get a kill with the mon it brings in. Psyshock provides another STAB move so you're not walled by Keldeo or something which you can just solve with something else on your team.

Colbur Berry helps Slowbro take hits from things like Hoopa-U, +2 Bisharp, Hydreigon, Mega-Gyarados, Weavile etc. and TWave them. It comes in handy a lot more than one would think, by far my favorite item for Slowbro.

252 SpA Choice Specs Hydreigon Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Colbur Berry Slowbro: 222-262 (56.3 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Hoopa Unbound Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 24 SpD Colbur Berry Slowbro: 243-289 (61.6 - 73.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (just to show that it can take a Dark Pulse from fully special Hoopa-U, fully special attacking Hoopa-U is rare)
+2 252 Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Colbur Berry Slowbro: 274-324 (69.5 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Crunch vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Colbur Berry Slowbro: 169-199 (42.8 - 50.5%) -- 2% chance to 2HKO
Add Mega-Sharpedo to that list imo. Colbur, T-wave is a good check to it as well.

Anttya, are we including "standard" sets as well or is this just meant to focus on sets that are unique to monotype? I prefer the latter, but if you're willing to do all the work for the former, then I'm not opposed.

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 44 Atk / 212 Def
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Roost

Alternate moves: Bug Bite (over Knock Off, still with SD), U-Turn (would drop Knock Off for U-Turn and SD for Defog).

252 Atk Terrakion Close Combat vs. 212 HP / 252+ Def Scizor: 141-166 (42.2 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 Atk Terrakion Stone Edge vs. 212 HP / 252+ Def Scizor: 118-139 (35.3 - 41.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

One of the few, if not only things I know of on Bug outside of Forretress that can tank a hit from Scarf Terrakion. I used to simply run max 252 HP / 252 Def+, but the EVs on this set are optimized to let you dish out a bit more damage. Knock Off is there to help out your Bug team against Eviolite cores/mons (Normal comes to mind). I feel this nature goes along with the offensive nature of Bug, which is why I like it so much! As the alternative moves sections says, U-Turn and Defog could be run if you want another remover in addition to your Spinner or do not have a mon with Rapid Spin.


Volcarona @ Lum Berry
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 152 Def / 108 Spe
Bold Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Roost

Alternative moves: Fiery Dance, Giga Drain, Bug Buzz, Hidden Power Rock

Speed EVs allow it to outspeed max invested base 70s before a boost (which I find particularly useful, especially for hitting things like Cloyster hard with a Fire Blast). The HP and Def just allow it to be more bulky since even with no investment, this things hits awfully hard after only one QD even. Fiery Dance is fine, but I've actually gained an affinity for the extra power it puts out to secure at +1 that Fiery Dance might not be able to secure unless you QD again when you don't have the opportunity.



Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Bullet Seed
- Pin Missile
- Rock Blast

Alternative moves: Substitute, Swords Dance (Over Bullet Seed).

Max Attack Adamant can break the Skarmdos core. 220 Speed beats Scarf Mag with webs up (don't think there's anything else relevant around base 65-70 that you beat going max anyways). If you can forgo the coverage of Bullet Seed against Water/Ground types and more or less in general, Sub and SD are great options since Hera-M forces a plethora of switches. I think Sub is the superior of the two for status shielding; the Attack stat is already enough to KO the meta in 1-2 rounds of Skill Link.


Shuckle @ Mental Herb
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Sticky Web
- Encore
- Toxic/Knock Off

Alternative moves: (Noted in the set, thought it was easier since it was only one slash).

Sets a hazard once guaranteed, even against a taunter. I always thought 252 was better in both defenses rather than HP since it's better when a base stat is that much higher than an HP. You could shift it if you ever found it that important for it to be solely special or solely physical, but I've never had issues with this set and it's worked just fine.


Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Megahorn

Alternative moves: N/A.

A Scarfed set with EdgeQuake coverage to help out against Fire and Flying.

Heracross @ Choice Band
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- Megahorn

Alternative moves: Earthquake (Over Knock Off).

Functions as a status absorber and wall breaker for your team without taking up a mega slot. I did list Earthquake as an alternative, but being that this has a different nuance than a scarfed Heracross, I think it's better to Knock Off items rather than to necessarily have a higher BP move.



Yanmega @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Air Slash
- Bug Buzz
- Protect

Alternative moves: Giga Drain.

Life Orb and Modest nature is to maximize Yanmega's attack. Protect is to get a boost to speed to beat slower scarfers or to scout. Very useful mon and helps your matchup against Flying, Dragon and Fighting.


Not sure why it's nesting A and B together... Anyways that's what I have done, Anttya if you know how to fix it lmk. Update - Fixed.

Alternate Moves:

Zen Headbutt > Psycho Cut (Matter of personal preference whether the 10 additional Base Power is worth 10 accuracy. Psycho Cut has a further benefit of not being contact, which is useful against the relatively common Garchomp and other Rocky Helmet users; while Zen Headbutt guarantees the OHKO on bulky Mega Venusaur at +2)
Shadow Sneak > Knock Off (Shadow Sneak's main niche is to beat Latios, which when scarfed is a huge threat)

+2 252 Atk Mega Gallade Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 265-313 (79.3 - 93.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Alternate Moves:

Alternate Moves:
Taunt > Iron Head/Volt Switch (Be aware Cobalion does very little to most of the Pokemon it is looking to Taunt in the first place. Further, Pokemon such as Infernape and Galvantula must be speed tied.)

Hawlucha

Hawlucha @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe

12 HP is necessary to activate Sitrus Berry/Unburden after only 2 Substitutes. Dropping Attack is preferable to Speed for the Fighting mirror match.

Sky Attack Sweeper
Hawlucha @ Power Herb
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

- Swords Dance

Alternate Moves:
Bullet Punch > Iron Tail

Iron Tail is the absolute preferred 4th move because it offers important OHKOs (Calculations below). Bullet Punch is a viable option for specifically Mega Diancie but fails to garner any additional KOs that Extreme Speed does not offer as well.

252+ Atk Life Orb Lucario Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Diancie: 302-364 (125.3 - 151%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Sub-CM
Keldeo @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute

Mega-Gallade
Setup Sweeper / Wallbreaker
Gallade-Mega (M) @ Galladite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Knock Off

Alternate Moves:
Close Combat > Drain Punch (Close Combat devastates neutral walls, but reduces your longevity. If your team needs the wallbreaking, run CC, if it needs late game sweeping, run Drain Punch.)
Zen Headbutt > Psycho Cut (Matter of personal preference whether the 10 additional Base Power is worth 10 accuracy. Psycho Cut has a further benefit of not being contact, which is useful against the relatively common Garchomp and other Rocky Helmet users; while Zen Headbutt guarantees the OHKO on bulky Mega Venusaur at +2)
Shadow Sneak > Knock Off (Shadow Sneak's main niche is to beat Latios, which when scarfed is a huge threat)

+2 252 Atk Mega Gallade Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 265-313 (79.3 - 93.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
+2 252 Atk Mega Gallade Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 136+ Def Mandibuzz: 358-423 (84.6 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
+2 252 Atk Mega Gallade Zen Headbutt vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Venusaur: 390-462 (107.1 - 126.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Mega Gallade Shadow Sneak vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Latios: 252-298 (83.7 - 99%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Psycho Cut
- Bullet Punch

Alternate Moves:
Zen Headbutt > Psycho Cut (Matter of personal preference whether the 10 additional Base Power is worth 10 accuracy. Psycho Cut has a further benefit of not being contact, which is useful against the relatively common Garchomp and other Rocky Helmet users)

16 HP EVs dodges a Jolly Mega Pinsir Quick Attack OHKO.

Breloom
Technician Sashed Attacker
Breloom @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb

Alternate Moves:
Swords Dance > Rock Tomb

Alternate Spread:
Adamant > Jolly (Gets a 2HKO on Ditto on the switch in. Breloom doesn't particularly need the extra speed, and can enjoy having the bonus Adamant provides.)
Life Orb > Focus Sash (Should only be used in conjunction with Adamant for the possibility of beating Mandibuzz and Sableye)

252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom Rock Tomb vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Mandibuzz: 195-231 (46 - 54.6%) -- 57.8% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom Bullet Seed (4 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Sableye: 220-256 (72.3 - 84.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (4 hits or higher guarantees a 2HKO even after getting burned)

Cobalion
Defensive Utility Pivot
Cobalion @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 244 HP / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Iron Head
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock

Alternate Moves:
Taunt > Iron Head/Volt Switch (Be aware Cobalion does very little to most of the Pokemon it is looking to Taunt in the first place. Further, Pokemon such as Infernape and Galvantula must be speed tied.)

Hawlucha
Sub-Sitrus Sweeper
Hawlucha @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Acrobatics

12 HP is necessary to activate Sitrus Berry/Unburden after only 2 Substitutes. Dropping Attack is preferable to Speed for the Fighting mirror match.

Sky Attack Sweeper
Hawlucha @ Power Herb
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sky Attack
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Acrobatics

Jolly is preferred over Adamant to outspeed key Pokemon such as Keldeo and Latios while at worst being in a speed tie with opposing Hawlucha.

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Megahorn

Alternate Moves:
Earthquake > Stone Edge

Alternate Set:

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- Close Combat

Alternate Moves:
Earthquake > Stone Edge

Adamant is necessary for certain kills:
252+ Atk Choice Band Heracross Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 178-211 (53.2 - 63.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Guts Heracross Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Sableye: 289-342 (95 - 112.5%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

C Rank
Lucario
LO SD Sweeper
Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extreme Speed
- Iron Tail

Alternate Moves:
Bullet Punch > Iron Tail

Iron Tail is the absolute preferred 4th move because it offers important OHKOs (Calculations below). Bullet Punch is a viable option for specifically Mega Diancie but fails to garner any additional KOs that Extreme Speed does not offer as well.

252+ Atk Life Orb Lucario Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Diancie: 302-364 (125.3 - 151%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Lucario Iron Tail vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 367-432 (93.1 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Lucario Iron Tail vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Togekiss: 437-515 (117.1 - 138%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Alternate Spread:
Adamant, 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Something ive been using which u might want to mention is toxic orb sub focus or sd facade loom its a great balance breaking set which gives breloom some nice recovery while also being an annoying pokemon vs balance. Ill also add onto this by adding toxicroack very helpful vs fairs and can run physical and special sets as well.
