Hello everyone! It's time for one of the more fun parts of CAP per-evolutions, the stat spread submissions! In this part of the CAP, we will decide the base stats of our little Infiltrator. And how exactly will we decide on these stats? Through discussion and polling, of course!
Now, the discussion rules for a main CAP and its pre-evolution are worlds apart.
For Malaconda, every discussion point required the utmost concern for individual threats complemented by enough calculations to make the reader's head spin. However, for this lil' snake (or whatever the winning art design ends up being!), calculations and competitive analysis are not required at all.
We're not looking for the "toughest" stat spread or something that can OHKO Misdreavus on your Little Cup team. This Pokemon is not being designed for LC, NU, or any other meta game you can think of. If you think this Pokemon should have the statistical prowess of Sunkern then you may argue that all you want. There are plenty of powerful pre-evolutions and plenty of unviable pre-evolutions, so just submit and discuss what you feel "makes sense". If you want to include Little Cup damage calculations and optimize this Pokemon then go right ahead. Just keep in mind that competitive reasoning as flavor reasoning.
This discussion is for more than just submissions. The entirety of forum discussion concerning stats takes place in this thread. Just because you have a WIP or nothin to submit doesn't mean that you're not welcome in this thread! Or on #cap on IRC for that matter! Please contribute wherever you see fit; everyone appreciates a contributor!
I'm not going to set a deadline, but this thread will not close in less than 48 hours. I'm currently unable to monitor or post in this thread much since I've just moved and am unable to access the Internet from anything other than my phone until Monday. Furthermore, since this thread is for both submissions, feedback, and debate, it's important to give everyone their fair say.
Happy discussion, everybody!
P.S. Malaconda's stats are 115/100/60/40/130/55
