Stamina or defense
Hi, i've been wondering recently which of the too stats is more important when it comes to fighting. I had understood that defense and attack were mostly used for "assaulting" gyms and stamina for "defending", is that true?
In any case will a pokemon of the same species with (for example) 100 defense and 50 stamina resist the same amount of DPS than other with 50 defense and 100 stamina?
Thank you

Defense and Stamina are not interchangeable like in the example you demonstrated. they do not work as simple as that.
reason being is that Stamina as a stat is calculated differently than the other stats.
I would say both are important, try comparing defense against attack stat because i know those two stats are in the damage calculation.
check out the damage calc at the end of the page, it could be useful. base damage is the exact number it will take from the opponent pokemon

Go with STAMINA. You can dodge in battles which means that you can mitigate A TON of damage ( you don't need to dodge everything perfectly... you'll surely be taking some chip-damage, but having a higher HP pool will help more than higher defence which would still lead to almost the same chip-damage... ). Ideally, you'd want both to be good, but until then, STAMINA gives you more room for error and it keeps you longer in fights ( when combined with dodging, it is absolutely better than having DEF in a gym battle ).
