>>14354213Putting aside the fact that you probably don't want to invest in HP or either defense with Breloom in the first place most of the time, allocating EVs for HP should almost always come before putting EVs in either defense unless it's something like Blissey or Hariyama.
Increasing HP reduces the damage you take from both sides of the spectrum, whereas investing in a single defense instead only reduces the damage you take from the corresponding attack stat. You're basically just wasting half your EVs, a Pokemon will usually be just or almost as bulky with 252 EVs in HP as it would be with 252 EVs in both defenses.
