These are calcs done with max hp/def/the correct nature according to whats it up against, which isn't common.

All jokes aside, Cresselia really isn't so impossible to beat. Honestly, it's really bad if you 2HKO it because it was basically a wasted slot on your opponents team and it only got to do one thing in one turn.

Is Cresselia broken if you don't have anything to hit it? Sure. But honestly that would be bad team building :b
