But what I mean about the stats is that if you find a random shiny after you've beaten the game, there's really no more situations for you to freely use it in without it being complete baggage, even if you do shove bottle caps up its ass. My Rattata (now Raticate) for example, pulled a good amount of weight for the first island, but already showed signs of falling behind on the second island. If I had been wandering through Hau'oli after beating the E4 for some reason and found the shiny Rattata then instead, what would I even do with it? That's all I mean.
