NU EV Spread Compendium
Hello everyone, and welcome to NU’s EV spread compendium. This thread is a resource designed to assist old and new players alike in choosing the optimal Effort Value spreads and natures for each Pokemon in NU.
All too often, I have seen players with a Scyther that is only able to switch into Stealth Rock once, or a Linoone Belly Drum, Sitrus Berry not activate, and faint as a result. This resource sets out to inform players as to how to avoid making these sorts of mistakes when finishing EV spreads during the teambuilding process, while simultaneously providing a forum where alternative, yet viable EV spreads and natures can be discussed.
In this thread, you may suggest EV spreads and natures for Pokemon listed B- 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.
However, including additional spreads to speed creep these new EV spreads is discouraged, as speed creeping has to end at some point (for example, Fletchinder running 112 spe to outrun 104 spe Fletchinder would not be added).
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.
Before re-posting standard EV spreads or creating new ones, be sure to check out these resources first:
http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue2/saving_hp2http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/magic-number-of-hp.3456308/
Both of these threads explain in which scenarios an Odd number of HP would be superior, and when an Even number would be superior.
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/a-beginners-guide-to-stat-distribution.3503580/
Here's a nice overview written by scorpdestroyer that includes EVs, IVs, natures and how to EV, generally speaking.

And finally, this comprehensive resource on speed tiers in NU should be your new best friend when creating new EV spreads.
THIS THREAD IS FOR SHARING AND EXPLAINING YOUR CUSTOM EV SPREADS, IF I BELIEVE YOUR SPREAD HAS A GOOD NICHE FOR THAT POKEMON IN PARTICULAR, IT WILL BE ADDED.
