>>17085244Actually, you run protect in those Pokémon that, ironically, have the worst 4MSS
For example, Mawile always run its Double Stab and Sucker Punch, and your fourth move is the thing that makes Mawile able to get past some critical threats.
Well, know what, put Protect, and add a teammate more capable to deal with that threats; and not only that, Protect allows Mawile to not MegaEvo right off the bat, keeping Intimidate, avoids your own Earthquake/Discharge and you can switch to something that resist fire or is outright inmune to it.
Everybody running Protect is a lie. Either way... Isn't the same thing with those full stall team with SubProtect Toxic Heal Gliscor or Seeders in general?
