>>50480532They both involve the user thinking to make itself stronger with thoughts
>Nasty Plot: The user stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts. This sharply raises the user's Sp. Atk stat.>Calm Mind: The user quietly focuses its mind and calms its spirit to raise its offensive and defensive stats.The lake guardians did this with their level ups moves, Uxie/Mespit got Calm Mind, Azelf got Nasty Plot
>>50480541Hiphlosion's entire thing is that it's calm and purifies souls, Nasty Plot doesn't fit it, though it could get some healing moves/support moves.
>>50480559Shut up Charizard
>>50480565We have to do with what we have, Game Freak will NEVER change a starter's stats or else they would have unironically made Charizard a Box Legendary stat total.
>wingless Charizard isn't much of a niche If Charizard were to get Dexcut than Typhlosion would be the only one with its statssolving that problem, but we all know that would never happen so we'll just have to make do. Typhlosion will never be OUviable or be good in VGC but it will at least be reasonable usable in Gen 9 PU.
