>>43679989Yeah, but that makes it only marginally more defensive. Defenses are way more important than HP for determining bulk. It's why Pokemon like Drifblim and Wailord, despite their massive HP stats, are still not considered tanky because their defense stats are abysmal.
Just for comparison's sake, max defense max HP Seismitoad takes roughly 3% less EHP worth of damage than max defense max HP Eelektross from a neutral attack.
