What would be the best way to EV train this pokemon?

[snowmilling]

Sorry if this is the wrong place or whatever but here goes. I have a pokemon with the following IVs.

HP: 19 - 24
Att: 22 - 26
Def: 19 - 24
SpA: 4 - 9
SpD: 27
Speed: 6 - 8

Now it's SpA I do not care about but the others I do. How would I be best distributing it's EV's to achieve the best possible results?

It would be much easier if I knew what Pokémon we're talking about.

For instance, if we're talking about a sweeper, max. 8 Speed IVs fail.
And those IVs are only decent, but not good.

 

[snowmilling]

Larvitar, not really a sweeper as such.

So Tyranitar it is. You will achieve nothing with 8 Speed IVs, since Tyranitar is partly Speed-oriented.

Breed a new one, with better Speed, Attack and HP IVs, and then ask again.

Ok then I will ask something else.
Ok i have used the IV calculator a lot, just confused about one thing.
Say for example snowmilling's larvitars speed iv stats.
What does it mean to have a max speed IV of 8, but then 6 IS the Speed IV, I am confused.
Aren;t all speed iv's supposed to be maxed at 31?

 

[snowmilling]

I think it's because the calculator isnt exactly 100% accurate but that the actual IV should fall somewhere between those numbers.

Oh OK thanks, I also have some other questions located here:

252 HP / 172 Attack / 80 Defense

Thats how I go with the TankTar.
DDtar's EVs are distributed completely different

Well, that rules out boah (the IVs)...I like DDtar personally. the mock-gyara set, with taunt.
