Right? a glass, glass cannon in Red/Blue

How can missingno have a positive defense stat if it's base stat is 0?? Probably some funky gen 1 mechanics. You don't have to answer lol

I know you said not to answer, but I have a few ideas, albeit I’m not exactly sure. If you’re being generous, you could say the 5 is a threshold to not break the game (lmao), as its minimum at level 50 is also 5. It’s possibly just a quirk, too. The higher numbers at level 100 could be from stat experience.
