The EVs you usually want to run on a Pokemon is 252 EVs in HP, then put another 252 EVs in only one of the two defensive stats (Defense or Sp. Defense.) In the case of Lapras or Blastoise, I would recommend putting it into Sp. Defense. Generally speaking you just want your Pokemon to be able to handle one of the two defensive fronts–Defense or Sp. Defense. This is because most Pokemon don’t have the stats to do both with good results.

If you really want to do both though, though I wouldn’t advise it, you could begin by putting 252 into HP, then split the EVs so that both Defense and Sp. Defense so that both are equal(Not in EV count, but in terms of actual stats). But no matter what you do, you always want a Calm Nature for either Blastoise or Lapras. Also, you should NEVER put your EVs into both Defense and Sp. Defense and none into HP. This ends up being a very inefficient spread that causes them to be less of a tank compared to 252 HP +Defensive EVs.

The next tank I know off is a 252Def 252 sdef 4 hp shuckle with this movesetProtectToxicWithdrawSafeguard/bug buzzBefore the withdraw the defenses pod this thing are 614 each I like to have it hold the Sitrus berry and ability gluttony to be a jerk cause sturdy is almost worthless unless you going up against a charzard x in the sun using flare blitz to no endHope I helped with that one but for the first one I think a troll militoc works bestTrolly@LeftoversEv the first oneAqua RingRecoverScaldIce beam / safeguard/mirror coat
