NOTES

==============/

CURSORY GLANCE AT WHAT DEFINES THE PLA "META" (IN-AS-MUCH AS A META CAN EXIST WITHOUT PVP) INDICATES THAT SPEED (AND PRIORITY ATTACKS) IS HIGHLY VALUED IN GRANTING EXTRA TURNS, ALONGSIDE BALANCED HP AND OFFENSIVE STATS.
REVENGE KILLING IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE, MAKING GLASS CANNONS LESS DESIRABLE COMPARED TO HARDIER BUT PERHAPS LESS POTENT COUNTERPARTS. STRONG BULK CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED, HOWEVER.
TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WHILE EXTRA TURNS CAN ALLOW FOR MORE POTENTIAL DAMAGE OUTPUT, AGAINST BULKIER AND HARDER-HITTING OPPONENTS THESE EXTRA TURNS CAN BE NEGATED AND HARD-COUNTERED WITH NUKES.

DROWSY AND FROSTBITE ARE INTERESTING NEW STATUS CONDITIONS. DROWSY ESSENTIALLY WORKS LIKE CONFUSE WITHOUT THE POTENTIAL TO HURT ONESELF BUT INCREASES DAMAGE TAKEN, IT ALSO LASTS LONGER. FROSTBITE HALVES SPA LIKE BURN HALVES ATK.
PARALYSIS IS THE SAME. POISON STILL DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN FROSTBITE OR BURN BUT DOESN'T HAVE THE EFFECT OF HALVING AN OFFENSIVE STAT, KEEPING A FIRM GRIP AS WORST STATUS FROM PREVIOUS GENS.
