Why is Whitney's Miltank so despised?

Let’s play a game:

Let’s say I have all the Pokémon,and you had to choose only one Pokémon between any type, what would that type be?

Fire? Water? Dragon? Ice?

I mean, there sure are so many strong and unique types out there, each with strengths and weaknesses, right?

So what if I told you that,no matter what you chose, I would give you aNormal type?

You wouldn’t be happy, right?

Furthermore, the Normal type I gave you would only be a level 20.

I can already hear you:

Need I say more?

Seriously, why was this pokémon such a pain?

I get it that back in the early 2000s internet wasn’t a thing yet, and all the knowledge about types advantages and status ailments was either non existing or rarely present,but we’re talking about alvl 20 Normal Pokémon.

So let me ask again:•Why so many people, me included, had so many problem with Whitney’s Miltank?•Was she such an unstoppable force or were we just lousy trainers?

Let me know DataBase!

So 3 stats all around 100 at a point of the game where you may luck out with a highest base stat of 80 (bar an Onix)

Basically, this thing is an NU Haxgod in competitive.

Milk Drink + Super Potions = Tons of healing.

Attract, generally when you dont have SE moves you usually go to your highest Level Poke, which is usually your starter. starters have an 87.5% chance of being male. Miltank is always female. Happy valentines day.

Stomp: So you probably have 50% chance to attack from attract, let’s use 100 base speed with a stab move and 30 chance to flinch fix that. Oh wait you hit me?Drinks Milk

Rollout. Let her hit 2 in a row, then pray to Arceus she misses one or your dunzo funzo.

Conclusion: Since it’s practically impossible to one shot her(or even 50 her) she pretty much will hax you to death. High Stats Great Recovery and little weakness at this stage of the game makes her a menace.
