You think it's creativity? It's trying to align itself with the mainline games with expectations so you know what you're getting with a Sync Pair. That Special Attacking Hitmontop isn't going to be anywhere near as good as these other Sync Pairs. It wouldn't even have been made if all the options to beat Special-only floors weren't limiteds. Naomi's Sandslash wouldn't be good in the actual games, it's effectively a joke unit. Just magically making a mon's stats better specifically for PokeMas only really works for thematic unevolved Sync Pairs, which they rarely do anyway and prioritize fully evolved mons for a reason
