Is ChestoRest Trevenant viable?
I just got a Shiny Trevenant from trade! What’s more, it’s Careful nature with 5IVs! It had an awkward EV spread, so I used a Reset Bag. I’m not sure if ChestoRest is viable, and if it is, can someone please tell me what EV spread I should use.Trevenant @ Chesto BerryEVs - ???Nature - CarefulAbility - Harvest

I didn’t get a shiny sprite lol.

This set is very usable, many people DO use it as well. The main problem with this set is that, unlike the sitrus berry sets, you actually have to use a turn to heal yourself.Flaws in this set include the above statement and the fact that it is better to run Shadow Claw over Leech Seed on such sets, as most of the time you can competely heal yourself with Rest.
Lum is the superior choice. While Chesto won’t get wasted on a different status, Harvest has a good chance to restore the Lum, making it useful for both ridding status while not wasting a turn as well as helping you Rest off your damage.
Natural Cure can also be used instead of harvest, although then switching out becomes a necessity to get rid of the sleep condition.
Hope I helped!

If you insist on aChestoRest Trevenantthen…
Trevenant@Chesto BerryAbility:HarvestEVs:252 ATK, 128 DEF, 128 SP.DEFNature:Brave (+ATK, -SPE)Characteristic:Likes to thrash about (+ATK, 31IVs)Moveset:
Rest- Restore all health without wasting a turn(s) sleeping because of a Chesto Berry which can be harvested [30%].
Will-O-Wisp- Damages the opponent even when a turn is spent resting, also reduces the opponents attack stat by 50% enabling Trevenant to take more and bigger hits.
Wood Hammer- Extremely powerful STAB grass attack, recoil damage doesn’t matter that much because of the ChestoRest combination.
Shadow Claw- Powerful STAB ghost move with a high critical-hit ratio (1/8).
I suggest having him/her on aTrick Roomteam so you can invest IVs and EVs in ATK rather than HP.

If you want Trevenant on a normal team, however, then…

ASitrus BerryandLeech Seedcombination will not waste moves by resting; in addition it damages the opponent.
