It's like they're trying to trigger my autism on purpose.
Actual discussion topic, at what point do attacks with absurdly high base power start to make up for low offensive stats? For example, if I give my Sylvally a normal gem and teach it explosion, would I even need to bother with setup beforehand in order for it to OHKO anything not immune?
