>>17501642>Not covering your weak end.What relevant changes does giving m-aggron MORE DEFENSE do for him?
252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Filter Mega Aggron: 204-243 (59.3 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Filter Mega Aggron: 183-216 (53.1 - 62.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Filter Mega Aggron: 186-219 (54 - 63.6%)
252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Filter Mega Aggron: 165-195 (47.9 - 56.6%) -- 84.8% chance to 2HKO
This is just one example of why it isn't worth it to invest in sky high defense. If he really needed more, he can just run the defense boosting nature, which is similarly potent.
252 SpA Adaptability Mega Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Filter Mega Aggron: 333-393 (96.8 - 114.2%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Adaptability Mega Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Filter Mega Aggron: 255-300 (74.1 - 87.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Full EV investment increases his spec defense by 30%, and lets him survive a lot more hits than he would otherwise. Putting that into defense barely gives him 10% more defense.
Basically, the lower stat benefits more from the additional bulk.
