Why 6 IVs?

[Snoopy Shannon]

Isn't it kind of unnecessary to have perfect IVs for both Atk and Sp Atk? In most cases at least?

[tygaa2]

Yes, in most cases it's unnecessary. It's actually more beneficial for a special attacker to have 0 Atk IV's because it will do less damage to itself from confusion.

Its also a big part for Hidden Power users where all 6IVs can't be 31 to get the correct Hidden Power.

The only reason you absolutely NEED 6 IVs on a Pokemon is:

-You use both Attack stats
-You aren't using Hidden Power
-You aren't worried about Confusion and/or Foul Play destroying you.

That's how I see it. But if I get it, then I get it and I most likely use it if it's a physical attacker.
