i don’t know how often this has been asked, but would it be okay if we saw some significant changes to smogon’s “guessed ev spread”?
this is mainly for pokémon with lower speed, because there ends up being pretty ridiculous results that provide useless ev spreads in competitive play. i know it’s not a big deal, but it’s a liiiiittle bit annoying.
a common theme is that almost every wallbreaker with a speed tier lower than 80 will receive a “bulky sweeper” ev spread, a spread that is used by almost zero pokémon competitively. from all the research i did,
piloswine is the only pokémon that unironically uses this ev spread. maybe in the past this ev spread was good, but it’s outdated at best nowadays, seeing how important speed tiers have become. in my opinion, the guessed ev spread for “bulky sweepers” (bulky wallbreakers, to be accurate) should be 252 atk or spa / 4 spd / 252 spe, with an adamant/modest nature.
even the presence of a choice item doesn’t change this “bulky” spread that pretty much every choice-item-using pokémon (except for
pincurchin) would hate using. again, maybe this ev spread was effective in the past, but the importance and impact of speed tiers should see its effect on the guessed ev spreads. again, the previous ev spread i recommended should be what’s guessed for choice users with a lower speed tier.
