What should the EV spread for my Smeargle be?
My Smeargle has(going to, at least) Baton Pass, Shell Smash, Spore, and (powerful attacking move). He will hold a focus sash. Now my plan is to use shell smash, and have the opponent get me to 1 hp(the focus sash.) Then I can use Spore first(presumably, as shell smash doubles speed.) Then I will use (powerful attacking move) and knock them out. Then use Baton Pass to pass the shell smash to a sweeper. So, what should the EV spread be?(I know, this is weird and stuff, and there might not even be a good EV spread for it.)
EDIT: I was stupid, that strategy wouldn’t work…. ok, new one.

Okay, your Spore strategy is much better than your Endeavor strategy.
Unfortunately, this strategy will probably not work.
Why? Because Smeargle has no “powerful attacking move[s]”. Although the painter has access to 99% of all Pokémon moves, he can’t use any of them with his abyssmal attacking stats. Even a Dragon Ascent won’t hurt anything coming off of a base 20 Attack stat. Smeargle’s best use is really just toShell Mash + Baton Pass + Sporefor Singles andFake Out + Dark Voidfor Doubles.
So to answer your question, the optimal EV spread is probably252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def.
Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams :(
