>>54284026Gen 3 OU still used mixed sets + stat XP sucks
>>54284007Yeah, I agree. That has nothing to do with what I said. Most types have equally good moves for both Physical and Special, without strong identities setting the two apart. This means that you can almost always get strong coverage without splitting your stat investment, so mixed attackers are junk.
If types had split identities across the categories - maybe physical Fighting does more damage while special Fighting is weaker but lowers stats on hit? that sort of thing - there'd be more incentive to cross the line.
