I would like your opinions on the the EV distributions please

I prefer to max out 2 different stats rather than the 252/252/4 thing.

Articuno

Moveset

Ice Beam
Reflect
Mind Reader
Sheer Cold

Nature: Calm

EV 1: 255HP 127SP.DEFENSE 127SPEED

EV 2: 255HP 255SPEED

This isn't an important Pokemon but I would like to know what you lot think of the choices of EV distribution.

That moveset is cheap. The people will keep switching until you run out of Mind reader or send out something with Sturdy. You would need mean look/batonpass or something to trap

If i were to play it then Articuno will need to survive as long as possible to mindreader/sheer cold.

I personally would go:
252 HP
128 Defence
128 Sp.def
@ Leftovers.

That's just my opinon though. Id probably make it Bold, maybe Calm if i'm expecting lots of special attacks even though Articuno has a high sp.def. Just gotta survive, speed really isnt important for that moveset but you can have Speed EVs if you want...

Its not an important Pokemon that I will be using for compettive battling.
I know enough about the games to know that a moveset like is not going to get me anywhere. Sometime in the future, when my REAL team is complete, I show you it and see what you think. Anyways, thanks for the comments. I'll be using that Articuno for in-game reasons anyway.
