You're wasting your nature/EVs when you're at full health, or when you're at low health.
I think what they were going for is that you'd knock yourself to half health with recoil, and then transform to take the hit, or something, but that's pretty pointless since you could have either invested fully into attack and one shotted them, and then proceeded to one shot something else, or you've invested into defenses, so you weren't able to one shot them, and now you get to take the hit with your improved defenses that you shouldn't be taking at all, and now your speed stat is shit after transforming, so you're going to have to take two hits in a row at under 50% before you get another turn.
