Monotype EV and Sets Compendium

Hello everyone, and welcome to Monotype's EV and Sets compendium. This thread is a resource designed to assist old and new players alike in choosing the best EVs and sets for each Pokemon in Monotype.

I often see Bug types with an even amount of HP, or Charizard-Y on Fire teams running unnecessary Flying coverage when Defog would've been a better option. This resource sets out to inform players as to how to avoid making these sorts of mistakes while giving them the most optimal set. Hopefully, people can also discuss viable, and alternate sets and spreads for certain Pokemon. (A lot of these sets were taken from the Viability Rankings)

In this thread, you may suggest EV spreads and natures for Pokemon listed C and above (standard or otherwise). If the spread and nature you are suggesting is not standard, you must provide rationale for why these non-standard spreads are viable. Please do not suggest gimmicks, and please be polite when discussing spreads.

How to Contribute

Follow what I did here:
For Chansey (Normal)

Physically Defensive with Rocks

Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave / Toxic
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss

Alternate spreads: Bold, 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD (Checks Knock Off Landorus-I)
Alternate moves: Wish instead of Soft-Boiled, and Protect instead of Thunder Wave / Toxic.

Including additional spreads to speed creep these new EV spreads is discouraged (unless there is a specific target you are providing creep for), as speed creeping has to end at some point.

Always be sure to back up your argument with damage calculations (if applicable) or the speed of the Pokemon you are attempting to check or counter.

Avalugg

Avalugg @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Avalanche
- Earthquake
Alternate spreads: None, physically defensive is actually needed to check quite a few things that threaten ice such as scarfed Terrakion and Breloom once something is Sleep Claused.
Alternate moves: Roar or Toxic over Avalanche or Earthquake.
Alternate items: Rocky Helmet is your best option, but I've seen moderately successful Leftovers sets. Expect to miss out on a number of Avalanche kills without Rocky Helmet though.

Mixed Scarf
Kyurem-Black @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Outrage
- Earth Power
- Fusion Bolt
- Ice Beam
Alternate spreads: Virtually any mix of Attack and Special Attack can work with adequate team support, but bear in mind that every EV you take from Attack to pour into Special Attack is an even worse chance at OHKOing Specs Keldeo after Stealth Rock, who otherwise has your poor Ice team for breakfast.
Alternate moves: Iron Head isn't worth it. You have enough Frost Breath users and Ice Shard users to beat Fairy without it, and you really need EVERY moveslot to have chances against Fire (in the case of Earth Power) and Grass/Flying (in the case of Ice Beam.)

Glalie-Mega @ Glalitite

Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Double-Edge
- Explosion
- Earthquake
Alternate spreads: An Adamant or Jolly nature can be used, it's largely personal preference if you want a stronger boom or to speed tie with quite a few Ice threats in the 100 Speed tier.
Alternate moves: Protect can be used over Ice Shard to guarantee a safe mega, Freeze-dry seems useful to use Glalie's Special Attack stat, but it forces you to run some sort of mixed EV's so you can get some damage out of it, as well as forcing you to waste one of your valuable moveslots.

I would like to see Dragon Dance + Rest Zygarde noted in Dragon:



Zygarde @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 108 HP / 252 Atk / 148 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Rest

Copied straight from Smogon Dex, with slightly readjusted Speed to have jump on 262 Speed sitting stuff. I had even better experience with this set than with classic Dragon Dance one, to be honest.

P.S. How long until one puts the multiple sets of Latias and Haxorus (the latter was also set to C rank by Anttya) here from the last closed thread? Not to mention Latias' part of Dragon sets STILL looks messed up...

If you actually go to the old thread and read the last post, which was posted by me, you can read that most, but not all sets submitted were implemented, and I asked people whose sets weren't implemented to re-post them here. Considering I copied the stuff from the old thread, clearly Anttya did not put Haxorus in C Rank, even if she intended to.

As for the set, I decided to test it out. I don't think it's worth using and it's often pretty unreliable. The standard set of DD + 3 attacks is the set should be used, in my mind. I also got the opinion of other experienced players and they think the same.

Try that for Ground instead, since that's B ranked (or it should be, at least, and replace Rest for Stone Edge and youre set!

Gyarados relevant speed EVs Adamant 88 (beats jolly 252 EV base 100s), 132 (jolly 108), 144 (jolly 110), 184 (jolly 115 and scarf 60s such as magnezone and tyranitar) going 255 speed is worthless except for some fringe pokemon and megas (covered below) and only extra scarfers you beat at +1 are non-existent. 62-69 base speed range. Offensive gyarados should throw extra evs into HP or spdef. Standard set for mega with crunch should be 144

Gyarados relevant speed EVs Jolly 8 (beats jolly 252 EV base 100) 64 (jolly 110) 88 (jolly 115) 196 (jolly 135 (manetric)

The only things things faster than jolly 115 that you will actually see are alakazam, crobat, mega lopunny, mega manetric, jolteon, hawlucha, tornadus therian, weavile, mega beedril, and mega pidgeot. Of these, alakazaam and weaville don't threaten back. normal's two megas should be pressured beyond the point of getting a turn to evolve assuming offensive water, or just generally covered by skarmory/zapdos partners on flying. Creeping electric is simply a bad idea, after all, they might have a scarf on raikou/jolteon/thundy-t or at least thundy-I's prankster. Tornadus-t, crobat, and bee are too rare, giving up evs to cover them is just as paranoid as running blissey>chansey due to knock off. The only one that particularly hurts giving up is hawlucha, but you can run most bulky waters/skarmdos to cover it.

Gyarados should be thought of primarily in terms of what it can handle at +1. However, there are a few things that your +0 speed are important for. The most prominent being, dragonite, mamoswine, and breloom. However, I feel the former 2 can be given up, (even in OU), as dragonite is only worth it when you are running 3 attack gyara and have stone edge/ice fange available. Mamoswine is a large threat to flying, but water teams shouldn't sacrifice gyara's bulk over it unless they are running 4 stall mons +gyara and 1 other offensive pivot and need to remove a potential LO earthquake/knock off combo early. While having gyara as an extra sash breaker to suicide against loom can serve in a pinch, it is something I would recommend avoiding..... if only because many gyarados sets (even primarily mega sets) can do a number on fighting teams by remaining in normal form. Other fast pokemon like starmie, tenta, keldeo, manaphy, or outright counters like sap sipper azu and reflect type starmie are prefferable.

Needless to say, if you want gyarados (or dragonite for that matter) to outspeed relevant scarfers, such as victini, you MUST get to +2 while using a set that at least beats the jolly 252 (no speed item) version of victini. victini is particularaly important, since mega dos can tank two (scarfed) bolt strikes and LO sets are uncommon and what happens in the next 6 turns after their "check" attacks you is obvious. This alone should be big enough for 144 adamant to be the standard dos over being able to outspeed a handful of rare threats beyond 110 base speed
.
-1 252 Atk Victini Bolt Strike vs. 114 HP / 0 Def Mega Gyarados: 146-174 (40.6 - 48.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
-1 252 Atk Victini Bolt Strike vs. 114 HP / 4 Def Mega Gyarados: 146-174 (40.6 - 48.4%) -- 65.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock

compared with bulkless
-1 252 Atk Victini Bolt Strike vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Gyarados: 146-174 (44.1 - 52.5%) -- 19.1% chance to 2HKO
-1 252 Atk Victini Bolt Strike vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Gyarados: 146-174 (44.1 - 52.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

I believe the standard sets should only cover 100s and 110s, and people looking for other things should start with these 2 and tinker to the more extreme gyarados only depending on the needs of their other 5 mons or whatever type is the most popular during the month they ladder in.

The current sub dance set for normal gyarados (water)
Dragon Dance Sweeper

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 208 220 Atk / 4 Def / 208 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Bounce
- Waterfall
- Substitute
Their are no pokemon between mega manetric and electrode that the extra 12 EVs after a single dragon dance. moxie is probably preferable on this max speed dos due to lost power from jolly nature

Current set for offensive mega gyarados (water)

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 114 Hp /252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 144 Spe
Jolly Adamant Nature
- Substitute / Taunt / Ice Fang // move 3 attack+ DD gyrados to its own set
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Waterfall earthquake //redundant coverage for water teams, doesn't use unique abilitiy to win the mirror match against other water teams

alt spreads adamant 72 Hp / 252 Atk/ 184 Spe and jolly 168 Hp / 252 Atk / 88 spe both cover 115 at +1, Jolly 62 Hp / 252 Atk / 196 Spe covers mega manetric at +1

Current set for sleeptalk+DD mega gyarados (water)
SleepTalk DD

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 92 Def / 252 172 SpD / 100 88 Spe
Careful Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Waterfall / Crunch // dark mono stab is only preferable with 144 Spe for latios, although mono water can chip most to death and tank through their attacks since rest goes before draco meteor once you reach +2 speed. (assuming timid LO defog dracometoer/psyshock/recover latios)

Alternate spreads: Careful 248 Hp / 8 Def / 252 SpD Takes 4KO from most non-stab electric attacks and univested volt switches (notably) from lanturn in extreme cases it can tank non-volt switch attacks at least once per match (offensive mons) or 3 times from defensive rotoms. 112 Hp / 252 SpD / 144 Spe allows you to mindgame terakion and mega diancie with turn you megaevolve without giving up too much bulk in other matchups.

Main set calcs
0 SpA Lanturn Discharge vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 86-104 (21.8 - 26.4%) -- 11% chance to 4HKO
8+ SpA Rotom-W Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 144-170 (36.6 - 43.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 175-208 (44.5 - 52.9%) -- 24.6% chance to 2HKO
-2 252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 87-105 (22.1 - 26.7%) -- 21.3% chance to 4HKO
-4 252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 58-70 (14.7 - 17.8%) -- possible 6HKO
So the actual damage is ~48%+~24%+~17%=~89% so you can always switch in from another poke and rest the second hit (even with SR) and almost always DD once and rest the third hit (although they can high roll with SR assitance) finally if latios switches in when gyarados is already out you can always take 2 free dragon dances.

Alt set calcs
8+ SpA Rotom-W Volt Switch vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 110-132 (27.9 - 33.5%) -- 0% chance to 3HKO
8+ SpA Rotom-W Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 144-170 (36.6 - 43.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
0 SpA Lanturn Discharge vs. 248 HP / 172+ SpD Mega Gyarados: 86-104 (21.8 - 26.4%) -- 11% chance to 4HKO
It still takes too much from mons like thundy-I at ~60%, which is no better than the offensive 114 HP gyara's 85~% in function (there you have speed to hit, here they just double you). 88 speed careful is preferable since you can act as a mini-offensive dos against HO teams when the main rest talk strategy will not work.

Additional notes for all sets.
I'm pretty sure that adamant dos sets don't need atk EVs beyond about 168, which allows even more bulk to be run on top of the bulk from former speed EVS, but I don't have my notes, and am not sure which +1 and +2 OHKOs are lost from doing so. I might update in a few weeks, but I feel that dropping speed is significant enough of an improvement for the main spread for now.

For example 192 HP / 172 Atk / 144 Spe gyarados cuts victini's 2HKO after rocks down by 50% for a power loss that is almost never felt.

-1 252 Atk Victini Bolt Strike vs. 192 HP / 4 Def Mega Gyarados: 146-174 (38.5 - 45.9%) -- 19.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
