good ev spread for brave snorlax?

[baa]

a special wall, so i want to focus on hp, att and sp def. also thinking of having fire blast to deal with skarmory - should i bother with sp.att evs?


thans in advance

 

[RoboRaph]

With no Sp. Atk EVs it'd be something like this:

EVs: 78 HP / 190 Atk / 66 Def / 176 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)

If you want Sp. Atk take them out of Atk or maybe Def.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

as for possible SAtk EVs, take the standard skarm, figure out how much SAtk you need to 2HKO it (need to do at least 53.25% damage at minimum, because of leftovers), get its SAtk up to that.

 

[baa]

why so many in sp. def? i thought putting evs in HP was more important than either of the defenses

That's not a Brave lax

501 HP is standard.

With perfect IVs, which, since this is ingame you clearly won't have, I'd use:

EVs: 160 HP / 36 Atk / 136 Def / 176 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)

If you're running Fire Blast on Lax you'll need 56 EVs or so for a 2KO on Skarm.

We can't really help unless you tell us the set. Normally I wouldn't allow a "give me a xyx" thread but I'll leave it open for now.

nope, snorlax is a special case in which the hp is much bigger than both its defenses, which means you need to put the Evs in Def/Sdef first. 496 HP is all snorlax truly needs

IIRC you posted this on GameFAQs as well D:

~Thunderstar ;121;;373;

 

[baa]

on gamefaqs too. but that place sucks. oh and what does "IIRC" mean? i see it everywhere.

the planned moveset is:

body slam
fire blast
rest
sleep talk



i know its unusual for a snorlax. but i already have a cursing swampert on my team.


it took me a while, but i have good dvs for it. they are:

hp 27-29
att 27-29
def 20-23
speed 21-24
s a 28-29
s d 27-29

 

[Kalavinka]

If GameFAQs sucks why would you post it there? -_-;

Oh and the n00bs sadly outnumber those with common sense, giving it a bad reputation.

[snorlax]

it means gamefaqs is lol

 

[baa]

sorry i meant IGN.

it used to be cool, there were lots of useful stickied threads. but theyve disappeared now.



so, a max HP of 496. what should i try and get the special defense to? (the rest i'll stick in attack)

 

[Kalavinka]

Let's not start a GameFAQs vs. the world flame war ._.

[Hey Micky!]

iirc = if i recall correctly, which is a pain in the arse to type

 

[aipomkong]

tl;dr

but, 182 satk is a definite 2hko on skarmory even with leftovers recovery fyi
