Is the Attack stat indicative of anything besides its use in

What is Mega Mawile

>>33165922
Mega Mawile has a base Attack stat of 105. Huge Power is a modifier, it doesn't count.

>>33165913
Onix is constantly memed on for having a lower attack stat than it should have, so I would say the stat is not indicative of anything.

>>33165930
Virtually it have highest attack of all of them.

>>33165930
I would sooner think an ability called "Huge Power" is more indicative of physical strength than the raw state.

It's canon

The key word is should. The go-to example is usually Joltik.

OP said attack stat not base attack

>>33165913

The base power of the Attack matters more than the stat

Earthquake is the only reason people use Garchomp as a physical attacker, the special counterparts of its attacks all hit harder

the whole onix line is depressing as fuck

252 SpA Life Orb Garchomp Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 199-235 (58.3 - 68.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 255-302 (74.7 - 88.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

>>33167648
He has a decent fire blast and draco meteor, but what else? He seems best as mixed, at most

>>33167648
are you fucking retarded? Do you even know how damage calculation works? Garchomp would have to have at least 135 BP on every special move to come close to the power of his physical moves

>>33167648
Earth Power has higher BP than Earthquake? What?

>>33165913
No, it's just for gameplay. BST means little in regards to lore and actual feats.

Damage formula is Attack/Defense x Power.
Garchomp has at most 200 atk and 145 spatk at lvl 50. His staple move is quake, which has 100 BP
Assuming def=spd, he'd have to have moves with at least 200/145 x 100= 137.93 power to deal equal damage
