Problems with low HP: - Inefficient HP-to-defenses ratio - Counter/Mirror Coat - Poison damage - Minimum damage moves (SE Arm Thrust, Constrict, etc.) - Fixed damage moves (Seismic Toss, Night Shade, Dragon Rage, Sonicboom, Psywave) - Transform - Harder to use Substitute - Harder to survive early game if glass cannon defenses Problems with high HP: - Leech Seed - Inefficient healing in late game (not inherently bad, just means your high base HP is wasted) - Endeavor (not inherently bad, just means your high base HP is wasted) - Super Fang (not inherently bad, just means your high base HP is wasted) - Pain Split - Leech moves (Giga Drain, etc.)
