>>37515046Look at it the other way: if you're using a strategy that can't kill people quickly, but falls apart when one of the many attacks they get in is a crit, that's on you. Pokemon is built around RNG, learn how to manage it better.
When an offensive setup sweeper can't consistently outrun or kill things, it's considered a bad set. Apply the same logic to defensive setup sweepers--if it takes ~15 turns to get going, and it falls apart the moment you get crit, it's a bad set that will fail more often than it will work. CM Suicune and Mega Latias avoid this by being bulky/fast enough to live certain crits and getting offensive boosts that help them close out the game once they're set up, while your average low ladder Iron Defense/Amnesia set doesn't threaten anything and doesn't take any hits before it sets up (meaning it can't survive crits).
