There's no point in running max speed EVs, and there's even less of a point to it when you're using Hammer Arm, which lowers speed. Drain Punch is always the STAB of choice on Assault Vest sets, since it affords HP recovery to allow it to further tank special attacks.

I agree with you

Why would you ever use a Sash on Conk? It literally brings nothing to the table for him. Hes bulky as is, and benefits from an AV much more. Heck, even a Flame Orb is a better option.

Also, running defense EVs is pointless. You might as well put them in HP. The difference is negligible regarding physical bulk.

I edited my move set and IVs; even though the base stats of Defense and HP are similar. As for Focus Sash, I thought the Sp Defense is too low for Conkeldurr to survive one Special Attack like Psychic; even with an Assault Vest.
