Basically the title. There'll be cases (mostly in OMs) where full Attack EVs and IVs are suggested if running moves that deal negligible / no fixed damage, such as the ones below:

I'm not a coder but i'm presuming that the builder just checks the category of the move and not the BP. This is generally important due to Strength Sap being a lot more common in OMs, and ends up wasting EVs / giving more healing than necessary. I think it'd be more convenient if this didn't happen, especially for newer players who aren't aware of the importance of minimum Attack. The threshold is obviously subjective but I think <40BP (excluding multi-hit moves / Power Trip / Beat Up, including Super Fang / moves whose damage is based on damage taken by the user) would cover most or all use cases.
