>>24521841>Wouldn't that just make him Conk 2.0?Conk IS Champ 2.0, not the other way around
Also, I dont think so. Right now, Conk has the clear upper hand in pretty much every thing important for a slow bulky hard hitter Fighting type. What I suggested leverages champ a bit more but not taking away everything like conk did when he debuted.
Key differences:
champ vs conk
HP 100 vs 105
Atk 150 vs 140
Def 80 vs 95
Sp Def 85 vs 65
Champ becomes more offense oriented due to higher atk and higher BP moves
Conk on the other hand becomes a more reliable tank by continuing to sport higher HP, higher physical defense AND recovery by virtue of Drain Punch. Conk also still maintains Mach Punch which is STAB priority over champ's Bullet Punch priority. I merely boosted champ's defenses but not enough to overcome conk's
Although frankly if I were to make it so they were more balanced vis-a-vis each other, I would have added in 20 more points to both of their BSTs to further differentiate the two
