4th Gen EV for specific Defense... or HP??

[Soylvak]

Im just trying to understand, is it better to put ev into hp instead? how much of a difference does it make... how much does one affect damage and such??

 

[ihaveaquestion]

i think that it totally depends on the pokemon... depending on what their max hp is and their max special defence...also... i do it under hp cause it helps with defence and special defence

If it's something like Blissey, I'd max its HP and sp.def.

For Dusknoir, I'll max out its defense and sp.defense,

In other word, it depends on Pokemon, but I'll max out HP first if it has equal HP and defense(Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc.).

definitely. besides, with dusknoir, he learns plain split, so it's one hell of an opportunity to leave his hp as low as you can.

Meh, if it's Blissey then you should max out its defence at least, Its sp-defence is already good enough. Then max out the rest of the other remaining EV's on HP or some on sp-defence too, depends.

Eh, if you slap 252 EVs in Chansey's defense, it's still gonna get slaughtered by one physical move. :/

Wrong. ._. With maxed out HP and Defense Blissey was able to survive two max power Hidden Power [FLYING]s from Salamence, but without any Defense at all, Salamence can easily OHKO it, and I reckon it'll be able to take at least one hit from a Life Orb Salamence in D/P if it has alot of Defense and HP EVs and Counter it right back at it. There's a reason for why competitive battlers give Blissey full Defense EVs.
