>Dex: "punches and kicks slide right off it"
What are some other examples where canon claims one thing, but the gameplay directly contradicts/doesn't support it? Some more are...
>Durant canonically has a fire-resistant metal shell....but it's 4x weak to Fire
>Copperajah's hide "resists water"...except no, it doesn't
>Literally dozens of Pokemon can fly/float but are inexplicably not immune to Ground, like Venomoth or Metang
>Spiritomb is made of 108 spirits, but its base HP is not 108
>Espurr has "nuke button" ears, but doesn't get any move or ability that showcases its supposed devastating powers
>Flygon create sandstorms when they fly....but it doesn't get Sand Stream
>Lucario can see any foe, even if they're invisible. But it's still subject to in-game accuracy/evasion
>Musharna is always asleep.....except it's not, and you can still use Hypnosis or whatever and put Musharna to sleep.
