>>52569988>Figured a split was a good thingSplitting EVs is almost always a bad idea unless you very much know what you're doing and are going for specific counters to the meta. Like putting in a little speed to outspeed a particular threat. Otherwise you're often going to want to go 252 in two stats. Mixing two defenses in particular is a bad idea, you don't want to be a jack of all trades and master of none. And you almost never want defense/SpD + an attacking stat on the same set.
>what would you go with?That depends on what you're going for. If you want a defensive set, going straight HP and defense would be fine. Leech Seed would be an option in this case. If you wanted an offensive set, you sure aren't going to outspeed anything, so might as well go HP and SpAtk.
>I've been told to change its Terra type to steelProbably because steel resists its usual weaknesses.
>Wouldn't I want fighting though for body press stabFighting is weak to flying and fairy, as is base Appletun. Changing type but keeping multiple of the same weaknesses doesn't seem wise, especially on a defensive set.
