Defense: 65 Speed: 88 BST: 600 PT: 195.0542 ST: 112.4706 PS: 191.5203 SS: 174.4911 BSR: 379.1261 Why I Chose Each Stat: HP: OU Psychics ... I chose to do OU psychic types since OU is the tier that CAP4 will be introduced to and psychic is one of CAP4's types (Bug is used for Sp. Def). I averaged all of the HP Stats of the psychic type pokemon in OU with the top 5 highest HP stats, since OU psychic type HP stats are relatively low and CAP4 needs a high HP stat to possess bulk. These were 110, 100, 100, 80, and 80. 110+100+100+80+80= 470 470/5= 94 Attack: Many Different Influences ... Top 3 Psychics: I selected three non-uber psychic type pokemon with the highest attack and got Metagross, Azelf, and Gallade with 135, 125, and 125, respectively. Top 3 Bugs: I selected three non-uber bug type pokemon with the highest attack and got Escavalier, Scizor, and Heracross with 135, 130, and 125, respectively. Illusion: I added Zoroark into the average because Zoroark is the only final evolution Pokemon with Illusion, one of the CAP4's abilities, and has a nice attack stat of 105. Weak Armor I selected the Pokemon with the highest attack that had weak armor, one of CAP4's abilities, which was Kabutops, whose attack stat is 115. No Guard I selected Golurk and Machamp because they are both final evolution Pokemon who have No Guard, one of CAP4's abilities, and have beefy attack stats of 12 and 130, respectively. 105+115+124+130+135+125+130+135+125= 1124 1124/9= 124.999... which rounds to 125 CAP 4 would share this stat with, most notably, Gallade, Heracross, Armaldo, Pinsir, who all share a type with CAP4. Defense: Weak Armor ... I decided to select Weak Armor as the sole influence for defense because of three key reasons: 1.) Pokemon with Weak Armor consistently have a high defense stat 2.) A high defense stat is needed for a pokemon to utilize weak armor 3.) It was the first and original ability created for CAP and, therefore, should have the largest influence on its stat spread The pokemon I chose were all final evolution or were final evolution at one point (Onix) with Weak Armor and then I averaged them: 82+125+105+120+105+125+160+140+85= 1047 1047/9= 116.333... which rounds to 116 CAP 4 would share this stat with Bronzong, a usually physically bulky pokemon that shares a type with CAP4. Special Attack: Many Different Influences ... I decided to make a limitation on the pokemon that could be added to this average by only allowing them to be in the UU tier or under. Why? One of CAP4's stats had to be weaker than the other and the special attackers in UU are arguably and usually worse than the ones in OU. Top 3 Psychics: I selected three UU or lower psychic type pokemon with the highest special attack and got Meloetta, Azelf, and Mew/Victini/Slowbro with 128, 125, and 100, respectively. Top 3 Bugs: I selected three UU or lowerbug type pokemon with the highest special attack and got Yanmega, Accelgor, and Galvantula with 116, 100, and 97, respectively. Illusion: I added Zoroark into the average because Zoroark is the only final evolution Pokemon with Illusion, one of the CAP4's abilities, and has a nice special attack stat of 120. In addition, Zoroark is also in the UU tier. Top 2 Weak Armor I selected two Pokemon with the highest special attack that had weak armor, one of CAP4's abilities, and were UU or lower; these were Omastar with 115 special attack and Vanilluxe with 110 special attack. 128+125+100+116+100+97+115+110+120= 1011 1011/9= 112.333.... which rounds to 112. CAP4 would share this special attack stat with Archeops, who is arguably one of the most risky pokemon to play successfully. Special Defense: Bug Type Pokemon ... Since Psychic types had a stat exclusive to themselves, it is only logical and fair to both types and CAP4 to have bug types result in the special defense stat alone. In addition, numerous bug types have bad to mediocre special defense, which is what CAP4 should have. To make this special defense mediocre to average, I made the pokemon that were to be averaged have to be final evolution, bug type (obviosly) and have a special defense stat less than or equal to 80. This is done in order to eliminate any extreme outliers, such as shuckle, bug arceus, and ledian. 48+50+50+50+51+56+60+60+60+60+60+69+70+70+75+75+75 +75+79+80+80+80+80+80+80= 1673 1673/25= 66.92 which rounds to 67. I then subtracted 2 in order to attain a slightly frailer stat of 65 and an even BST of 600. CAP4 would share its base special defense stat with, most notably, Exeggutor and Girafarig, who are both share a psychic typing with CAP4. Speed: OU Bugs and Psychics ... Bugs and Psychics were selected to be the reason for the speed stat because it represents a "balance" and "harmony" between the types, especially Volcarona is balancing out Reuniclus's low speed and Latios balancing out Forretress's low speed. The balance is again represented in the fact that no type really effects the stats more than the other, with sp.def for bug, HP for psychic, and a shared speed for both. These are also both usually offensive types in OU with some of the most deadly sweepers included in the average. OU was chosen because it is the metagame where CAP4 will eventually be introduced to for play testing. 100+65+99+40+30+70+110+115+120+110+100+100=1059 1059/12=88.25 which rounds to 88 __________________ If you buy one completo, it's only one dollar. BUT, if you buy two completos, it's only two dollars. BUT, if you buy three completos, it's only three dollars. BUT, if you buy four completos, it's only four dollars... Do you like my three buts?
