Splitting EVs... SUCKS!
Having to calculate how many EVs in HP or either Defenses are necessary to survive that specific move from that specific Pokemon on that specific Field with that specific stat changes and with that specific moveset...
It wouldn't be that bad if I had a list of Pokemon opponent could have theorically bring, but NO - they can bring fucking everything! And knowing some of them love doing random strats with very niche or useless Pokemon-... Those from Smogon boast how they can create the best movesets, stat spreads and all, but only because they - most of the time - have a predetermined list of Pokemon that can appear on that specific tier. And those Pokemon usually already have specific moves, so it's far easier.
But I, knowing that every single Pokemon (even those NFE) with random movesets can appear, and also Fields are a factor too-... I can't split EVs like a pro because of that. And I can't split EVs at all...
So... In that project... You will have simply 2x252 EV and 1x4 EV, because I don't want to waste my life doing something which is completely insignificant.
SpoilerAnd no, I won't be copying from Smogon.
I do have some dignity left, haven't I?

I mean that every set would consist of 2 stats having 252 EVs (maximum) and 1 having 4 EVs because... 6 EVs will have the exact same effect as 4 EVs, and 2 EVs the effect of 0 EVs
EVs work in such way that 4 EVs are equal to 1 point in total stat. That's why all stat spreads have the EV numbers sorted in that way so every number of EV given to one stat is divisible by 4.
Yes, the maximum number of EVs total is 510, but 510 isn't divisible by 4, so there will be points left, which will do nothing.
