>>13134175Sucking in battle is determined based on match-ups with other pokemon, making it a zero-sum game. It follows logically that if cute pokemon tend to suck, pokemon that aren't cute tend to do better.
It's also obvious because babies and other non-threatening things are cute but lack power, while indicators of power aren't, as they are mutually exclusive means of success--i.e. neoteny and ferocity.
So yeah, that was a dumb post
