Ahem. Before we begin, let’s get a couple things straight:
This assumes level 100 and the ability to manipulate IVs. (Maxing them, 
configuring them for specific Hidden Powers, etc.)

Stats are listed as:

HP / Attack / Defense / Speed / Special Attack / Special Defense


Also, all stats are rounded down unless otherwise stated. If you get a 50% 
boost on an odd stat, you just lost half a point. This is very important when 
considering nature’s effect on stats. Also, it plays a major point in Hit 
Points. When using the item Leftovers, for every 16 HP, you receive 1 HP 
extra per turn. That means that a Pokemon with 16 HP would get the same 
Leftovers recovery than one with 31. That means that when using Leftovers, 
you should try to make your Hit Points a multiple of 16, any more HP than 
that can be put to better use elsewhere.

Also, Sandstorm, Burn, Hail, Poison, and similar moves all do damage in 
increments of 16. That means that a Pokemon with 31 HP would receive less 
damage from one of these ailments than one with 32 HP. So if you are not 
using Leftovers, it would be most advantageous to make your HP one less than 
a multiple of 16.

The move Substitute takes one forth of the user’s HP and makes a Substitute 
with it. For every 4 HP of the users max HP, 1 HP is used in the Substitute. 
That means that a Pokemon with 12-15 HP would make 3 HP Substitutes while a 
Pokemon with 16-19 HP would make 4 HP Substitutes.

In the normal game, what the game defines as “In a pinch” is 1/3 HP. That 
means that a Pokemon with 10 HP would activate its “In a pinch” status at 3 
HP, while one with 12 HP would trigger at 4 HP. (For reference, “In a pinch” 
status is used to trigger stat-raising berries like Petaya, Liechi, and 
Salac, as well as abilities such as Overgrow, Torrent, Blaze, and Swarm.

However, in the program Netbattle, “In a pinch” status is defined as 25% HP. 
That means that when using Substitute to trigger “In a pinch” status, you 
should make your HP a multiple of 4, so that each time exactly 25% (no less) 
of your HP will be used, and after three Substitutes you will be at exactly 
25% HP and your “In a pinch” status will activate.


You should never use neutral natures. Thus, assuming you are using a nature 
that raises one asset and lowers another, (which you should be), I can 
provide the following guidelines.

For the stat that the nature is lowering, for every 10 points that that stat 
normally would have, the stat is lowered by 1 point. For the stat that is 
being increased, for every 10 points that that stat would ordinarily have, it 
gets 1 extra point. This means that it is more advantageous to give 40 EVs to 
a stat that is increased by the nature than to give those 40 EVs to a stat 
unaffected by the nature, or to give enough EVs initially in order for the 
stat to be a multiple of 10, if they weren't to start with. However, it is no 
more advantageous to give 36 EVs to a stat increased by the nature than to 
give those 36 EVs to a stat unaffected by the nature, except in situations 
where the extra 9 stat points would leave the stat a multiple of 10, so it in 
this situation it is merely a matter of which stat would be more useful. 
Generally this is used when "capping off" stats, especially when using 
defensive EV configurations.


Remember that you can not have half a stat point. This means that if you 
Dragon Danced with 9 speed, you would have a resulting speed of 13, not 13.5. 
However, if after this you Dragon Danced one more, you would have a speed of 
18. This means that if you are planning on receiving an odd stat boost (such 
as the boost from a single stat-raising berry), it is optimal to have that 
stat be even. This applies to HP, as well. When using moves such as Recover, 
Softboiled, and Milk Drink, a Pokemon with 15 HP would recover no more HP 
than a Pokemon with 14 HP. That means that when using such moves, it is 
optimal to have HP be an even number.


Speed is a major concern. The most commonly targeted number is 394, Jolteon, 
Aerodactyl, and Crobat’s maxed speed. (Also Mewtwo, but hopefully that won’t 
be an issue.) After that is 372, a speed shared by Alakazam, Dugtrio, and 
Sceptile. When selecting your speed, consider what Pokemon might be faster 
than you. I once gave my Weezing enough speed EVs to Will-o-Wisp Tyranitar 
before it could Taunt me or set up a Substitute.


Based on what we know already, let’s create an EV distribution and nature for 
this Gyarados:

Gyarados (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Intimidate
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Substitute
- Hidden Power
IVs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 30 / 30 [resulting in Hidden Power Flying 70]
stats: 331 / 286 / 194 / 197 / 155 / 235
remaining EVs: 508

First, let us put 252 EVs into attack. He’s a physical attacker, and this 
should be a given. (remaining EVs: 256)

Next, let’s give him enough speed EVs to out speed Jolteon after one Dragon 
Dance. He’ll need an actually speed stat of 264 to do this. In order to reach 
this number, he’ll need a Jolly nature. Then 172 speed EVs, and we’ve met 
this goal. Notice that 264 is a nice multiple of 11, that means that we just 
took full advantage of his nature. Also, since this leaves his speed an even 
number, he’ll be able to take full advantage of Dragon Dance. (remaining EVs: 
84)

Now we’ve got some EVs left over. If we put them all into HP, this would 
result in an actual HP stat of 352. Since we are not using Leftovers, we do 
not want his HP to be a multiple of 16. So let’s give him 80 of the remaining 
EVs for HP. (remaining EVs: 4)

Now we have 4 EVs to increase one stat by 1 point. This could be put into 
speed to give the possibility of out speeding other Dragon Dancers. Or used 
to bolster either of the defenses. Let’s put it in special defense, just to 
leave things tidy. (remaining EVs: 0)

The product looks like this:

Gyarados (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Spd / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Substitute
- Hidden Power
IVs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 30 / 30 [resulting in Hidden Power Flying 70]
stats: 351 / 349 / 194 / 264 / 139 / 236
