[DISCUSSION] Need help with Sandslash EV spread
#1
Hello all!

Sandslash is my favourite pokemon and I will be/have been shiny hunting him (masuda method) for a competitive sandslash. I am a little bit divided on what I should do, though. Can you, the helpful people of the forums, help me out?

I was thinking one of the following options
(The moveset is going to be: EQ, Rock slide, knock off and poison jab - poison jab open to debate. It will also be sand rush ability) Feel free to suggest another move to use over poison jab.

1. Adamant nature, choice band, 252 Attack and defense, 4 in HP.
Hits really hard.

2. Impish nature, choice band, 252 Attack and defense, 4 in HP.
Hits a little less harder but can survive a bit more.

3. Impish nature,choice band, 252 attack, 124 in speed, 128 in defense and 4 in HP.
This set needs a little explanation. the 124 speed Evs give it 101 speed at level 50 allow it to, in a sandstorm (because of Sand Rush), outspeed a timid max speed Jolteon. Jolteon is one of the fastest non-mega pokemon so outspeeding Jolt is probably a good speed benchmark to surpass.

I am unsure what I should do. Right now I'm leaning towards option 3. What do you think I should do - feel free to mix the options together.

Thanks in advance!
