Is it just me, or is this week’s Tavern Brawl (#52 Cloneball) all about the RNG? I mean, there’s some strategy, but if you get the wrong cards and they get the right ones, you’re screwed from turn 1.

That’s a nice picture omg

It really depends on the pokémon. Although more often than not in my experience, it can be beneficial to spread them out a little more. The key is figuring out what role you want each of your pokémon to play, and applying the EV’s accordingly.

For example:

If you’re using milk drink for healing on a Gogoat, you put 252 into HP so that the 50% health you recover is a much larger number.

Alternatively, if you’re using horn leech for recovery, you create its bulk by Eving in Def/Sdef, lowering its HP without really effecting its ability to take hits. This lowered HP means the health you get back from horn leech equates to far more of your overall total.

Also, Eving in really unorthodox ways can throw of your opponents assumptions/predictions, giving you an element of surprise that can lead to a serious upper hand.

For example:

My Scyther doesn’t have any attack EV’s.

Wtf eh :)
