I'm gonna be adding a Salamence to my VGC Doubles Trick Room team. Would anyone recommend an EV spread? I'm debating on a Modest or Quiet nature; I want to have a Special Attacking Salamence.

For further knowledge I've already thought of a few.
Salamence @ Dragon Fang/Draco Plate (Depends if I can afford a Draco Plate)
Quiet Nature
4 HP/124 Def/252 SpAtk/128 SpDef
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Protect

If I bumped will I be noticed?
>100 base speed
>Trick Room
No. Only use him if you aren't going to use trick room on that match
Why flame thrower over heat wave?

Invest in HP and specialize on one kind of def, preferably sdef bescause intimidate is a thing. support hitmontop is a good partner fosr wide guard to counter rockslide or quick guard against ice shard and the occasional accelerock.
You should also consider a physical/mixed set with draco/dclaw/rockslide/protect.
If paired with fake out pivots or quick/wide guard support you could even try ditching protect and draco plate for life orb.
Because trick room offense relies on quick bursts in the trick room uptime you need to deal as much damage as possible in the given tine frame, so choice sets are also a hood option.
Hope I could help anon, trick room is the most gimmick imo

Thanks for the input, Anon. I know that Trick Room is a gimmick, but the thing is it's one of the most viable ways to go this time around since a lot of the good Pokés are slow af.

I've seen numerous Trick Room teams that use Salamence as an Intimidate opener, and a late game sweeper.
i run a timid scarf mence on my TR team, but salamence is there incase i dont need TR
