I wanted to start off with one of the most effective sets. Most players run special defense over defense for many reasons. One reason is because rock slide is very common. You'd have to run FULL HP and Defensive investment to not get OHKO'd by strong rock slide users like Tyranitar. (and thats assuming you also have 31 defense IV's.)
Am I missing something here? Because rock slide is very common, why you don't invest any defense? Is it because you have to invest a lot of EV's on the HP and Def?
It's better to just get out of there when facing users like Tyranitar since even max investment you'll still be hurting. Running SpD investment is wiser because there's more you'll live against. Rock slide is the reason wide guard users are effective.
