As for the more powerful part, remember this: Power does not mean just being smarter, or stronger. It means being better. If you and someone else both had the exact level of education, and both grabbed a suit of armor, but you know how to use a sword and the other one doesn't, you would be more powerful by comparison.

Grimm grow armor, strong armor, which already makes them more powerful than Grimm that haven't grown that armor. But that doesn't mean they gain inteligence, because they don't. Said armor doesn't matter shit if they didn't learn anything. I suppose you have misunderstood me, I'm using intelligence on a broader spectrum, being able to use a sword would make you more intelligent, but only in that one aspect, you are smarter in swordplay. Intelligence isn't limited to scholarly education, it is linked to anything and everything we do.

About the deathstalker, I always assumed that they were just more inherently stupid, due to the nature of scorpions in real life, although your point does make more sense with the overall Grimm characteristics.
