>>22575434>HP is the best defense stat you noob cunt. ALWAYS go 252 HP before investing in defensesTotally not true:
252 Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Audino: 372-438 (90.7 - 106.8%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Audino: 288-338 (82.9 - 97.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
If the HP stat is higher than the defense/sp.defense stat, then it is more effective to invest in defense.
If the defense stat is the higher one, then it is better to invest in HP:
252 Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Shuckle: 78-93 (31.9 - 38.1%) -- 93.1% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Shuckle: 69-82 (38.1 - 45.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
