Honko
he of many honks
Speed is the most delicate stat in competitive Pokemon. Whoever attacks first has a huge advantage in most matchups, so a single point of Speed can have major value, whereas a single point of Attack or HP is unlikely to have much of an effect at all. On the other hand, there is no reward for overinvesting in Speed; a bit of extra power or bulk will always have some value, but there is absolutely no difference between outspeeding an opponent by 100 points and outspeeding them by 1. For many Pokemon, especially those with uncommon base Speed stats, this means maximizing Speed is a waste of EVs. Trying to find the balance between outspeeding as many threats as possible without wasting too many EVs is probably the most difficult part of making an EV spread.
This guide is here to help you make informed decisions when you create EV spreads for your RU teams. It shows the Speed benchmarks that all of RU's biggest threats commonly sit at, so you know exactly how much Speed you need to outrun the threats you want to beat without wasting any EVs.
