>>46160309Yes, Natures and EVs are the only ones who have any real purpose, IVs have no real value to strategy, since it will always be better to have everything maxed out, besides the attack stat you are not using and 0 speed for trickroom/gyro ball (which are still more reliant on negative nature).
>But it makes pokemon more uniqueRedundant, pokemon already have their ID code and their nature. If EVs and natures were the only stat modifiers, and both were easily modifiable in the postgame, injection and hacking would stop being a requisite for serious competitive.
