>>50653404OP is a faggot continuing this thread from yesterday (
https://boards.4channel.org/vp/thread/50616386) where there was much bitching and seething.
This anon's take is not weird, but based, as he asserts a love for what makes /vp/ confused and a love for what makes /vp/ seethe.
>>50653508>Nobody's saying you shouldn't use it because it's weak.See thread linked above, where a shitton of losers on /vp/ said this less than 24 hours ago.
>It's just weirdNot really, you can pretty easily headcanon excuses for the low attack stat. For Onix's weight to be accurate, his rocks HAVE to be hollow, and if they're brittle too (the 'dex entries imply it takes hundreds of years for them to harden to a Steelix-like diamond level if a metal coat isn't used) it would make sense that Onix actually holds back when physically attacking to avoid damaging itself. There are all sorts of materials that, when struck from specific angles, can withstand retarded amounts of force, but otherwise easily shatter. Steelix and Mega Steelix have fat attack stats, fixing their flaws through materials science 101.
tldr: neither of you are college kid material, enjoy your burger jobs at 30
