>>52735692Its okay i guess, i think a non-battle tied stat boosting idea works out better generally.
I sorta like the idea of item boosting your mons and vitamins are both too costly(bottlecaps are okay price wise) and conflict overall with the trainwreck that battle EVs are.
The lack of anything notable going on besides more stats is kinda bemusing though. I think it'd be fine if they just ditched vitamins.
I have no issues with Hyper at this stage besides the fucking 0 IVs nonsense, 1/31(i'm actually doubtful this is exactly what the roll is but i'm not sure on precise IV mechanics) as that carries over for multiple mons and thats when it starts to really suck.
>>527374320 ATK is relevant for Foul Play and Confusion, though Confusion is dogshit in its current state so thats a meme minmax. So outside of mons weak to foul play its pretty irrelevant.
There is niche case use for neutering defenses/HP for focus sash sets(theoretically could also be relevant for counter/mirror coat) but thats also a pretty big meme.
