I’m messing around with 6 star Tera raids in Violet and I’m wondering what the best EV spreads are for raiders. I know for most attackers you commonly want 252 sp/atk and 252 speed, but is it worth it to focus more on bulk than speed for the raids? Speed is definitely still a factor, but I’m curious what people think. I’ve been doing 252 sp/atk and 252 HP with 4 sp/def but I’m not even sure if that’s the best way to do it. Like maybe splitting more into sp/def is better than HP.

I’ve never been one to calculate damage and such, so I’m kinda looking for advice on where HP is better or worse than defenses. Or if abandoning speed on raiders is even a good idea. It’s probably case by case depending on the raider and the raid, but I’m looking for generalizations.

Specifically, I’m looking to EV train the 7 star mons that I’ve captured and I’m trying to decide if I just do the normal attack and speed route or not. Any advice or opinions are appreciated.

@pikasaurX4 do it, the type coverage between both raiders gives you stab electric fighting water fairy which is a huge chunk of available types. And stored power slowbro is a good backup
