nice sweeper. Due to Shellder's high defense Focus Sash would be useful for special hits.

---

236 is the max Attack EVs Shellder can have, and 196 for Speed.

Oh, I forgot about LC EVs. What should the EV spread be?

---

36 HP / 236 Atk / 40 Def / 196 Spe, if you're using the max EVs.

Ok thanks
