Stat Aces hold loyalties only to ability. They find Pokémon who are the fastest, or the strongest, or the smartest and then, the Stat Ace further improves those abilities. No other Trainer can make a Slowbro act with the Speed of a Ninjask. This focus makes them extremely effective in their element, but might also come with the risk of opening themselves up to weaknesses a more well rounded trainer wouldn’t have as much issue with. However, it doesn’t take many blows from an Attack or Special Attack Ace to knock out a foe, not many can wear down a Defense or Special Defense Ace, and it’s hard to get a leg up on a Speed Ace.
Stat Ace, as a Class, allows you to customize Pokémon in ways you typically wouldn’t be able to. By allowing you to bypass Base Stat Relations for a stat, you can raise Pokémon in rather interesting ways, such as having a Gengar focused on physical attacks and taking advantage of its awesome physical movepool. It also allows you to further improve Pokémon who are already specialized in a given stat with innate Combat Stage bonuses, extra Abilities and bonus stats.
