Example: Pokemon

Just like in the Pokemon game series, your pokemon's skill needs to be high enough to actually make a dependable attack or to really feel the need to rely on your pokemon's defense. But at times even skill doesn't matter, because some pokemon, while battling them, feel like they're impossible to be able to defeat. (Notice how I'm refering to Kirito)
