ITT: Sad facts about Pokémon stats. I'll start:
>Dunsparce, Castform, Togedemaru, Ponyta, and Tangela all have higher BSTs than Shiinotic. Tangela beats him by 30 points.
>>30190371
Komala has 75 more points.
>>30190371
It's not the BST, it's how it's distributed.
Azumarill has a real shitty BST for the tier it's used in and yet it saw plenty of usage.
>>30190371
If they only picked a better counterpart for it, maybe it wouldn't have ended up with a BST that low.
>>30190389
Komala has more attack than Kommo-o.
BST doesn't matter as much as stat distribution, movepool, and abilities
There are some high BST pokemon that are really fucking trash
>>30190412
>azumarill
I wonder why
>Scyther and Scizor have the same BST but switched around
>Lantern, Tropius and Solrock/Lunatone have the same BST as Breloom
>Vikavolt has the same BST as Gengar
>>30190412
Almost like Azumarill has an ability that gives it waaaaay higher stats

Komala is a pretty great Pokemon
>>30190371
>Wanting to use the diaper mushroom
>>30190371
Shiinotic stat spread is actually better than the one of all those pokémon though.
It's a poor man's Amoongus but it will do nice in a lower tier, specially due to its recovery move.
>>30190454
Agree. It should have been an Amoonguss counterpart but I guess they didn't want it for VGC17 so they just went with Parasect.
