I have been wanting to make an Exploud set, but I don't know how exactly to build it. So far what I thought was:
Exploud @ Assault Vest
HP (98) /Def (4)/ Sp.Atk (252)/ Sp.Def (4)/ Speed (150)
-Boomburst
-Flamethrower
-Surf
-Filler (Thinking about Hammer Arm, but not sure about its damage output because of modest)
My reasoning behind it is that Exploud is meant to be a Special Attacker, albeit a not so fast one, therefore I only invested enough EVs in Speed so it can outspeed a non-invested neutral nature Rotom-A at level 50.
Next, I wanted to address his bulk and invested all the remaining in HP, but because of how calculations works at level 50, investing 98 results in the same HP as 102 EV, while 106 leaves him with even HP number, which is bad because of fractional damage such as Sneaky Pebbles, Sandstorm/Hail and Trap Moves.
Likewise, investing the remaining 10 EVs in Sp.Def offer no difference from 4, so I invested 4 in Def and 4 in Sp.Def.
Is him going to be reasonable bulky but too weak because no Choice Specs? Any thoughts or recommendations?
