How did Sableye get so bulky?

Question

Battling.
Weavile has 252 Atk 252 Spd. 4 HP evs.
Weavile uses Ice Punch on Sabeleye
Sableye has a 65 base defence stat, (ev spread probably 252 HP 252 DEF)
Ice Punch does 36% of damage.
Ice Punch gets STAB
Ice Punch is boosted by max attack EVs, and Weavile's base attack stat.
That should've done way more? Could someone explain this to me?

how much damage did it actually do? lol yiu forgot to add that!

This is from PO, which does not show the damage; only the percentage. lol

maybe your Weavile waz lv.50 and sableye waz lv.76 lol.

Answer 1

Well...thing is, people are used to more power because of the commonly used Choice Bands, Life Orbs, etc. If Ice Punch is not super-effective.... and you're not holding a boosting item... and Sableye is bulked up, then... that's just it. I'm sorry, but I ran damage calcs. That's just the way it is. People are too used to super-effective OHKOs.

LOLz, I guess that's why switching and switching again is so popular XD

You don't need to randomly put ... after every sentence.

Also there isn't a move that is Super-effecive on Sableye!
The same with Spiritomb

Foresight and fighting type move.
