In their current states, the DEF and SP DEF stats are fairly useless on pokemon. It's always better to simply invest in HP instead. Therefore, I'm buffing these stats.
Starting now, in addition to providing a damage reduction, every 5 points in either stat will also add a 3% chance to find the perfect defense and absorb the blow, taking no damage.
For example: If your pokemon has a DEF stat of 5, physical attack used against it will have their accuracy reduced by 3%. So now, earthquake, which usually has 99% accuracy, is reduced to 96%. Having a DEF stat of 10 would bring it down to 93%. However, this effect caps at 50% meaning you can't lower a move's accuracy beyond that.
Hopefully this will help the DEF and SP DEF stats be less useless. Feel free to comment below.
ADD: In addition, having a high atk will now raise your chance of scoring a critical hit. For every 5 points you have in an attacking stat, your chance for a crit will increase by 1%.
