Split between hp and sp def? How to split it and why?
Click to expand...
Instead of training just spdef and ATT, train a little in hp just so you can overall take hits better on the physical and special side. Now, I don't know exact evs for a set, but I'm sure you can get ideas from the conkeldurr thread on the competetive section. :]

Because the thing that conk does best it take a hit and hit back hard. Conk has great Defense but his Special Defense is subpar, adding Assult vest and EV's in Special Defense gives you a great wall that has a great base Attack to back it up.

It gives the most effective gain from Drain Punch and the best survival on the special side. 252 atk, 252 spdef and 4 def is the better build, 8 def was used before Genesect went uber to make him get the spatk boost, but now you should use the 1st spread

Hmm, well I choose to mix because while you take special hits better, you lose some physical bulk if you were to invest some in def or even in hp. Just my personal preference, as I don't like to invest fully in a stat such as def or spdef while investing in an offensive stat. I just think you would take hit better overall if you were to invest fully in hp or even partially. Just my opinion however, which you can choose listen or just look for others. It's your poke, so your choice :]

ok guys I have about 20 flawless bold koffing (31/x/31/31/31/31) in heavy balls with egg moves t-spikes, pain split, stockpile, and swallow?(I think) there are both males and females (some of the females will need to be retaught the egg moves. I wanted to do this as a giveaway but I'm in need of some things...What I'd really like are 6th gen females in cool balls. Egg moves are a big plus too. Hidden abilities where they're beneficial would also be helpful.IVs aren't terribly important, but 3IVS and up would be a huge help. For example I'd really like things like t-spikes skrelp in a dive ball, gale wings fletchling in a repeat ball, protean froakie in dive ball, own tempo espurr in dive balls. stuff like that. again, IVs aren't a huge deal as long as they're females in cool balls. Thanks for your help!

I would say the overall health gain from drain punch is weighting up for the loss in HP. You get a higher % gained HP from DP and lose less to leech seed/Giga drain.

So i will go for the asselot vest, but trevenant forest said i should split between ho and sp def to make sure i will not lose physical def but two of you said that i need to max sp def, the question if the split of the hp and sp def will be big different,and for addition he have guts so i can improve its attack during battle

True, but I just don't like having something invested in an offensive stat while not being invested in either hp or speed, depending on what it is. Besides, I'm not really an EV set kind of guy. I'm really good at creating unique and interesting movesets however, if I do say so myself :P

XDPokemon: just do whatever you want to do man :] if you want to split, then split. If you don't then don't. Your choice is the only thing that matters here :D

Go to the competitive section and check his analysis..they've been running calc to determine the best spread i.e. to both maximize sp defense and drain punch gain

From the Conkeldurr thread:

Set Details
========
- Assault Vest increases Conkeldurr's Special Defense at the cost of not being able to use non-attacking moves. Since Conkeldurr's movepool is so useful and the Special Defense boost is significant to increasing Conkeldurr's bulk and viability the loss of moves such as Bulk Up and Taunt are worth it.
- As Conkeldurr's HP is already massive and its Special Defense is rather low and obtains a big boost through Assault Vest it is best to maximize Special Defense instead of HP. Though you become slightly more susceptible to physical attacks the special attacks Conkeldurr can take is massive:

4 SpA Rotom-W Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Conkeldurr: 85-102 (24.2 - 29%) -- 99.3% chance to 4HKO
4 SpA Rotom-W Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Conkeldurr: 118-139 (28.5 - 33.5%) -- 0.3% chance to 3HKO
- Adamant with max Attack allows Conkeldurr to be a punishing threat on top of its already great durability.
- Guts is the preferred ability as it allows Conkeldurr to absorb Will-O-Wisp and Toxic while making Scald and Lava Plume's burn a detriment to the opponent.
- 8 Def and 248 SpD guarantee Genesect getting a Special Attack download boost. This weakens U-turn to 13-15% instead of 19.6-23% - assuming Scarf Genesect.
