Potions specifics
In my current playthrough I give more focus to alchemy, so I compare potions more (before I simply avoided potions with negative side effects). Some potions appear to be improved versions of others. Are they really better in every aspect, or there are some other differences?
For example Brock seriously reduces resistances while being strongly toxic. Wolf looks like a perfect improvement - it gives the same special attacks boosts but it has no side effects and is just half as toxic.
