It's true, were it not for his experience gains in SBURB, John wouldn't be able to even lift a warhammer, much less swing one. Sledgehammers are enough trouble for him under normal circumstances. But fortunately for him, leaving Johto and being brought to the tower returned his MANGRIT stat. It's not as impressive as it will be in the future, but it's enough for him to at least run around bashing shit with enormous hammers and pick up things not normally possible for short, chubby, prepubescent kids.
So yes. Definitely stronger than looks would have you believe.
John nods in response, a determined look crossing his face. "Yes. I definitely don't want to be caught with my pants down again. That was...unpleasant to say the least." After all, nobody LIKES feeling weak and exposed. "So whatever you are willing to teach me, I am willing to learn."
"But yes, they will. Well...maybe not gladly all the time. It's not uncommon for Pokemon to be a little resistant to their trainers for one reason or another. But as long as you take good care of them, you don't usually have that problem." It's...basically magical animal cockfighting, yup. In a nutshell.
