STAB Plate or Choice specs, if something else could have Multitype?

Question

If it were possible to encounter a fire type special attacker with Multitype, would it in theory be better to give it choice specs or a flame plate?

This might count as an emulator question, which isn't allowed.

I have amended the question so that it does not break any rules.

Answer 1

I would ordinarily say Choice Specs, as more power on one move is better than more power on only one type of move, even if it does limit you. However, in-game, I would go with a Flame Plate. For in-game, the boost should be sufficient, and you never know when you will need to use a different move. In competitive, however, I believe Choice Specs is generally the better choice.

Hope I helped!
