Wow , home made cream soda ! <| sep |> I personally find em pretty comfortable and I ' ve worn em for hours on end , but I totally understand not wanting the onear style , just doesn ' t work for some people . <| sep |> That ' s what I ' m mainly worried about . The wedding is not that far away and I don ' t know if I want to risk it . <| sep |> Nonono don ' t use ultimate charms for AE only for your FIRST SS <| sep |> It has everything to do with CP calculation because CP is just a shorthand representation and does not directly dictate how a Pokemon will perform in any scenario . You seem to be under the impression that it ' s the other way around , and it ' s not . CP does not actually make one Pokemon perform better than another based on the number alone it ' s only meant to give you a general idea of how strong something is in a way that most people would be able to understand it . That ' s all . Which means that if they chose to weight Attack more for any reason at all in the formula , it does not actually make a difference to the stats . Example Pokemon X has 100 AttackDefenseStamina and CP of 400 . They suddenly decide to weigh Attack even more , and its ' CP shoots up to 600 . Does it get any stronger ? The answer is no , it doesn ' t , because the Attack stat stayed the same , and that ' s the only part of it that matters . So , why would they do this ? Because it ' s easier for a larger group of people to understand if you just keep it simple . And since most of the playerbase probably doesn ' t know what the stats of each Pokemon are or even care to and just want to play the game , it makes more sense to show them what when comparing Pokemon with similar stats in general would output more damage which would be the one with the higher Attack . Why ? Again , it ' s because the entirety of the dodging mechanic really undermines the point of Defense and Stamina while attacking since the amount of mitigation you recieve is 75 % yes , it still plays a part , but not nearly as much when you can just manually reduce any amount of damage coming at you by that much . Coupled with the fact that Defense as a whole already doesn ' t do a whole lot , and you have a completely solid reason as to why Niantic would chose to favor the Attack stay in their shorthand representation for the general public . As for thisI ' m not saying Kakuna necessarily beats weedle 100 % of the timeNo , but this is what you said exactly The evolved Kakuna could probably beat the Weedle couldWhich , last time I checked , was an opinion . Yours , as a fact . Since I thought we were talking about opinions I shared mine I think that a Weedle could beat a Kakuna , at the same level . I wouldn ' t have shared it if you actually presented anything at all resembling any sort of evidence to back your factual claim instead of just claiming something as fact with no basis which isn ' t very scientific , mind you . So please , next time you try to go all only facts , no opinions , cold hard science , make sure you check what you yourself have said and then if you ' re going to present something , make it an actual valid claim .
