Because 50 was just awful. A lot of pokemon who had a 50 BS were amped up to 60.

Sure, sure, but it just seems like it's not all that significant of an increase

If you don't buff some pokemon, people will be upset and not want to use them (muh power creep).

If you buff them too much, everybody will complain.

A lot of pokemon got +10 in some stat and it's made some pokemon significantly better.

>252 Atk Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 134-158 (81.2 - 95.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

With 10 less base Def:
>252 Atk Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 144-170 (87.2 - 103%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

It's not a whole lot of difference, but it's significant enough to mention.

Why wouldn't Garchomp use Earthquake?

Exploud became tankier to make use of a slow Specs Boomburst set, Scolipede got an attack raise that gives it the decent attack to sweep on its own with Speed Boost instead of just being a passer.

Azumarill did. Although that was for the new move combinations and typings rather than the lame +10 sp attack.

Sorry, used to VGC situations (where EQ is weaker because of the split damage modifier). Still, at level 100 and in singles Mega Ampharos needs 252 HP / 56 Def to guarantee survival of an EQ from Garchomp with its "old" base Defense, but only 208 HP to guarantee the same with its new total.

Raichu got the boost as well, though I wouldn't say it was "significant" for him.

Stoutland is a monster with base 110 attack now. Getting Play Rough to fuck over Dragons and Fighters was also a plus.
>>18358840
Why did they buff it's special attack over attack anyways? 160 base attack after Huge Power is too OP for the little rabbit to handle GF? I wish even they bothered to buff the stats of all the retconned fairies since people would be throwing them at dragons now. Togekiss and Gardevoir should've gotten speed buffs. As Granbull should be in 85 base defense.
