>>42044813I agree that Samurott is better for ingame due to overall moveset versatility and being a mixed attacker meaning it has utility and offensive use from Surf, among other reasons, but this
>Samurott's Attack stat (100, the lower of the two offensive stats it has) matches Huge Power Azumarill's (normally 50)is just straight up not how base stats work. Base stats are just a (Pokémons stat at level 100 - 5) / 2. Azumarill would have higher attack than Samurott, since it doesn't double the fifty but instead treats the Atk number itself as x2. If you want to argue that Samurott is better, go for
>better move variety, especially since Fairy didn't exist yet>better speed>mixed offense allowing for both physical and special moves meaning it can use it's full potential movepool rather than being only good with half >marginally worse special bulk but basically equal physical bulkRealistically for ingame Azumarill only has one factor better, being Atk, and it's only slight.
