>>36170098Your logic is so fucking retarded, m8.
1. You don't need both Defense stats to tank effectively. E.g. Chansey doesn't give a single shit about special attackers thus it is an effective wall.
2. You need both Attack stats if you want to be an effective attacker. Chansey can't tank shit if you have strong physical offense after all.
You literally can't disagree with both of these statements without contradicting yourself.
>>36169951The definition of 'minmax' states that you minimise unnecessary stats in order to maximize others. "Only one stat" is a thing you pulled out of your ass.
>>36170162>Because the matchup isn't really up to the shuckleDoes this even matter in the discussion?
> Think of it as an rpg character who can use both magic and swords, you wouldn't say that's minmaxers at all, its two completely different combat stylesI have been playing RPGs for almost 20 years and this is such a flawed analogy. For example, in Baldur's Gate, if you are making a warrior you increase his Strength, Dexterity and Endurance while reducing Charisma and Intelligence. And you pick 2 different types of weapon while omitting others IIRC.
Bottom line, you can maximize more than one thing if it actually ends up benefiting you more. The whole philosophy behind minmaxing is to "gain as much as possible", not "have the biggest stat possible".
