>>49003908Yeah stab matters now because every pokemon has access to amazing stab moves and the physical and special split created that. Back in the day tyranitar had crunch but didn’t use it because it was a special move, why use that when you are max attack invested.
Now in modern pokemon it goes;
Is my pokemon fast? Put 2 stab moves and 2 coverage moves.
Is my pokemon slow but strong?
Put 2 stab moves a coverage/recovery move and a set up move.
Is my pokemon a tank?
Put a status move a recovery move a damage move and a tech move.
If my pokemon doesn’t have good stab moves then it sucks, if my pokemon doesn’t have good stats it sucks. Thats not how it should be.
