So the attack stats both had to be fairly high.
But they seemed to intend to avoid BST inflation overall.
So that came at the detriment of defense and/or speed.
It wouldn't be an issue, if Gen 4 didn't come right afterwards and completely redo phys vs spec attacks. Making most of those Gen 3 monsters totally outdated in stat distributions.
