Normally, I try to round out my Pokémon's EV's so they're not completely weak in one area (Picture 1) but after getting my team one shot by literally any of the gym leader's Pokémon in Blizzard City, I took a break to try to catch a shiny Gastly, and once I did so & evolved it (Picture 2), I thought that maybe I should focus more on building Pokémon competitively, by putting 252 points put into two of their stats and the rest in the third, rather than build a well rounded Pokémon, for this playthrough.

I'm using Gengar here for an example because it's not only how I came to this thought, but I have not EV trained my shiny Gengar yet and don't want to, until I get an answer on how I should build my Pokémon.

I started playing this game about a month ago, and beat it before realizing I had the 2.0.2 version of the game. I then found out how to update V2.0.2 into V2.1.1 but only after catching 700+ Pokémon and luckily, after many difficulties, I then figured out how to use the Unbound Cloud. So, after getting all the items that will carry over into new game plus, I figured I'd give insanity a try.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
