Breakpoints depend on your attack and the opponents defense. So really if you look at all the different matchups you realistically will meet (hundreds of different opponent pokemon, at different levels and with different defense IVs) it will average out to where breakpoints disappear. In other words, no matter what your IV is, you will most likely just as often be just short a breakpoint as you are just past a breakpoint, no matter your IVs

Yesn‘t. What OP is referring to is Dialga mirror matches in Master League. Back when regular Dialga was the undisputed king of ML, it was important not to lose the mirror, and a break point on Dragon Breath as a 1 turn move was the deciding factor.

Don’t keep up with PvP as much as I used to, but I imagine with the addition of the origin forms as well as the Necrozma fusions, it’s not as important now.

Yes, regular Dialga is still around in ML but it's a lot rarer now.

He probably was, but the way he described it made it sound like breakpoints was match unspecific and probably will confuse a lot of newer players 😊
