>>33257595Don't strawman - I never said that Pokemon need a BST of 500 to be good.
Stantler is a BAD Pokemon whichever way you slice it, though. Unlike the Pokemon you listed, it doesn't have the right spread, moveset or typing to do well. Hell, Stoutland is objectively better, and even it isn't very good.
Gravity makes even less sense than Trick Room. I'll say it again: your friend was either lucky, or faced shitty opponents. And I seriously question his judgement for using Stantler in the first place.
