why even have points in base defense stats?
baton passed substitute i think
>>56914211/thread
>>56914198>Attack of 163 if you jammed the rest of Defense/Special Defense into it until they both became 1Would’ve been funny
>>56914198ditto?
>>56914262They should've done that with the missing speed points from Ninjask. It's retarded that it has a lower BST than even Nincada.
>>56914349has anyone actually copied a shedinja with ditto?i don't think i've ever seen a copied shedinja
>>56914198>>56914262>tfw not 1/134/1/1/1/98 or 134 SpA/1 AtkMinmax even harder.
So that you can feel cool being optimal by running Lonely with 0 defense/21 spdef IVs to avoid giving Ditto better stats while also not giving Porygon2 a special attack Download boost
>>56914198Not every pokemon has to have optimized stats.
>>56914734Apparently Flutter Mane needed to, though.
>>56914211So it's useless, got it.
>>56914734But giving the empty shell mon more defense than special defensive makes no fucking sense either. If you want mons to be logical in their stats, doing shit like this is dumb. Same with that special attack stat, you would expect this mon to be limp and barely able to attack physically. So I also prefer optimized stats then than whatever this is.
>>56914349>>56914404I'm guessing if they gave 'dinja a 1 in Def that could've led to a super niche issue wherein a mon that TF'd into 'dinja would take so much damage that it rolls over into just healing them.
>>56914198Guard SplitSubstitute + Baton Pass/Shed TailTransformThese are all small but still do have some impact.
>>56916523The shell is rigid to physical blows but can be incinerated easily
>>56914198What >>56914211 said, and Ditto.
>>56916586This isn't really a problem.Lvl 1 Chansey (0 IV/0 EV/-Nature) has 4 Def.Lvl 1 Pokemon with 1 base Def (0 IV/0 EV/-Nature) would have 4 Def.
Seeing how Defense is mostly useless on Shedinja they should've just dumped it all in to make it share BST with Ninjask.
