Looking at those great guides, I sometimes find EV spreads other than 252 252 4s, and confused not being able to understand the reason behind it. EV spreads like that usually have some intentions, for example, adjusting HP to take least damage from Sandstorm/Leech seed etc, outspeeding Yatagaryu by holding Choice Scarf, beating Inflagetah with single Earthquake, enduring Nucleon's Hyper Voice twice, and so on.
It really helps the beginner like me, who cannot understand these intensions, if those were included in the guide. Most guides I usually see in the original game have those, and it really helps to understand the intention of the set itself. And no, just in case, basically there's no point in adjusting Def and SPDef the same :p
I can only talk about my own guides, but I believe that's the case with everyone. Those more specific spreads are intended to allow a given Pokemon to do something. For example, in the Mega Baariette guide I'm doing/revising, there's specific spreads intended to provide it bulkiness without sacrificing too much Speed. However, I should note that those spreads, I mean, at least mine, are temporary, as they could be changed in virtue of the forthcoming metagame.
