Notes: HP is of the form ‘16n + 1’ for maximun survivability. Def and SpD are roughly equal for the same reason.

answering just to take this one off the unanswered list
Incase you are curious: I have EV’d just enough to survive Ice Punch from a max attack Snorlax (Garchomp 2HKOs) and also moved around some moves.
