    Explosion over one of the special moves imo, only about 8 speed evs, no special attack, i would put some more into defense or else you will find this to die very easily, maybe some attack to boost explosion.

    HP Ice imo for catching Mence on the switch, as your team doesn't like mence at all.

    lower it to around 310 special defense and put the rest in attack.

    Magneton @ Leftovers

    After Magneton is dead, nothing on your team can take a Meteor Mash and not die the next turn, but pretty solid team in my opinion.
     
    I'm against the idea of exploding if that's my only physical "tank" or "wall" on the team, but it could use mored Def. Hopefully the SDef EVs will rid me of any fear of Sala. I did discover a DDTar weak though.
     
    Cloyster doesn't need Sp. Defence EVs. Why would you keep him against Sp. Attacks? It doesn'r need that much Sp. Attack too btw. If you really want that amount of Sp. Attack, then go

    EVs: 252 HP / 54 Def / 204 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

    It'll give you the same ammount of Sp. Attack and some extra points in Defence

    But IMO you should go

    EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)


    In conclusion, unless you're maxing a stat, alays give a pokemon a nature that favours its highest stat. Since it'll raise it by a percentage, you'll have extra points to put in another stat. This is what I mean:

    EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SAtk
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

    This spread gives you 304 HP, 432 Defence and 257 Sp. Attack (which is the amount you used)

    Now if I give him a Bold Nature and the same Sp. Attack stat I get:

    EVs: 252 HP / 54 Def / 204 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

    This one gives you 304 HP, 257 Sp. Attack and 449 Defence, which is significately higher than the first spread. This was achieved because I favoured his highest stat, Defence.

    Thank you for a (no offense) redundant lesson. I was trying something out with the SDef EVs. I'm not sure if it works yet.
     
    umm, if that lessong was so reduntant, then why did you give it a Modest Nature?

    And Sp. Defence EVs are worthless, I've tried a Cloyster with them, not much useful seeing that's what Sp. Sponges are for.
     
    It's modest because I like to try new things with pokemon. Insight on the SDef EVs were appreciated though.
     
    But if you use Bold and less Defence EVs, you'd get more Sp. Attack

    simple as that.
    <whhheeeee 25>
     
    stop using it since I've proven how useless Modest is
     
    thankfully noted. Next, I'm gonna try a Timid DDMence :P
     
    some new insight has come in and I've changed the team a little
