    CAP 34 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    ^Sticky Hold comes up almost every project. It is a decent ability, downright good in some contexts, but it doesn't really help this Pokemon answer any of the two key questions: 1) Why does CAP34 run Throat Spray over any other item? 2) Why do I use Throat Spray CAP34 on my team? We are kinda...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Threats Discussion

    To note w.r.t Ogerpon, Malaconda, Venomicon and Rillaboom: While these mons seem like obvious things for us to switch in on, all of them but especially Rillaboom can run Knock Off. The more dependent we are on Throat Spray, the more caution CAP34 must take when trying to switch in. The common...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Threats Discussion

    Set-up on is somewhat of a tough discussion because we need to somewhat determine how exactly we are going about setting up. There is a pretty big disparity between the obvious Clanging Scales STAB (a set-up move that is functionally 110 BP for +1 SpA and -1 Def at the cost of an item slot, so a...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    There are three typings that stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. Water/Electric is the most proficient combination at relying on three move coverage alone, and there is a CAP to prove it. Krilowatt shows that this dual STAB + Ice coverage can effectively dismantle defensive backbones. Our...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    I think the consideration is that a non-STAB user is more likely to run a utility-coverage hybrid move since it is frontloading its general power into its STAB options. Sort of the same idea why a Fire-type forced to run Fire Punch would probably be ass but a Dragon-type running Fire Punch as...

    CAP 34 - Part 2 - Defining Moves 1

    I am going to respond to this notion because it makes a false assumption, which is that Kommo-o uses Clangorous Soul well. Kommo-o is functional with the move, but Kommo-o is, if anything, a jack of all trades Pokemon. It can do a lot of things kinda okay, but really doesn't excel in any...

    CAP 34 - Part 2 - Defining Moves 1

    The benefit of Clangorous Soul is keeps the ability stage more open and typing more open as well. You aren't worried about your STAB or coverage being sounds moves. Your ability doesn't need to support or incentivize Throat Spray specifically either, in fact the ability synergy with Throat Spray...

    CAP 34 - Part 1 - Concept Assessment

    I think we should do Defining Moves part 1 first to establish: 1) What are the good activating moves for Throat Spray, and 2) Which are better suited for STAB, coverage, or both Other than that, this should be a sweeper pretty simply. I don't think you make a wallbreaker with Throat Spray that...

    CAP 34 - Part 1 - Concept Assessment

    I would support Kee, Maranga, Sitrus and Chesto Berries. I don't like resist berries, they really want elemental of surprise unless the mon has like 1 or 2 weaknesses, and are more situational in a tera meta. I wouldn't design a mon around them, but would be content to consider them as an...

    CAP 34 - Part 1 - Concept Assessment

    Picking the item should be the first step, it is the guiding point for the rest of the project. I would stick to a single item here. I think that generally items with repeated impact are not ideal here; the good ones are already well-represented and do not fit our criteria outline in the...

    Final Submission Name: Hail to the (Sea)King Description: This Pokemon replicates the role of Seaking in BDSP OU, using a unique combination of typing, ability, and a usually useless move to counter significant metagame threats. Justification: Since the early days of the franchise, when it...

    Revisiting the Sleep Clause for SV OU

    Competitive Pokemon players, as a collective, have gotten better at optimizing the game. This isn't really news for anyone, but this came with a culture change where being more open with bans and even unbans is now the norm. I think the definition of what we want a "competitive" metagame to look...
