Decreasing the stock count could make Jigglypuff busted. Imagine successful Rests ending a game 1/2 of the time instead of 1/4.https://twitter.com/OXY_Crimson/status/1113180089535959040 …

I think it goes both ways. Less stocks inherently increases variance. The risk/reward for hitting a Rest becomes higher with less stocks. The value of hitting it increases (and it has increased viability as a game-ender), but missing it becomes relatively more costly.
theres not many rests that you actually risk missing unless you fuck up though - its almost always confirmable if its going to miss or hit
