Why is Pound rated higher than Feint in Wigglytuff defense moveset

Pound has STAB, but its defense dps with STAB is only 2.76 x 1.25 = 3.45, which is 14% lower than Feint Attack's 3.95 DPS.
Feint Attack shares the same energy gain per attack with Pound (7), and they have almost the same CD due to the defense AI.
Even considering type advantage, I didn't see Pound being any superior than Feint Attack.
So my question is, although they share the same Ranking (A), why is Pound listed higher than Feint Attack in the defense?

That, my friend, is a question that has been circulating on the Q&A boards for what feels like months. I would agree with you that feint attack is a superior defending move, so I'm curious what the experts have to say on the matter.

Yes, same thought here. Feint, like Zen headbutt (even more Zen since effective against poison) for Clefable should be better for defense than Pound.
I dont understand the reason behind the A grade.
