I figured out what one of my opponents' arguments awhile ago, and I wanted to figure this.
Basically, the argument is this:
1: "This is stat reduction."
2: "No, it includes stat effects, that means it's not a stat reduction ability."
I think of this as pokemon: if something stat debuffs you in attack, defense, etc, it's stat reduction. However, if one case of stat reduction technically included slowed muscles, breathing, thinking, would the ability still be stat reduction and a bad example to reduce it to stat effects, or would it be status effects instead? Now, in another case, if something intended to slow something like speed were to the point of status effects like paralysis, reduced breathing and mental capacity and dizziness were present, does that reduce the stat reduction in speed into just a series of status effects?
