Idk, SMB - seems very situational on paper. We should vote on this :o

Who wants to make the finishing touches for Hippowdon?

Sorry for the delay, the Nidoqueen Skeleton will be up on Wednesday!

252 SpAtk Choice Specs Magikarp (+SpAtk) Hydro Pump in the rain vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Magcargo (+SpDef) : 189,47% - 223,03%
Guaranteed OHKO

Worth updating the analysis a little imo.

OU? Pfft, Magikarp for Ubers mate.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Magikarp Hydro Pump vs. 248 HP / 84 SpD Ho-Oh in rain: 228-270 (54.93 - 65.06%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

In my experiences, that has been much more useful than the almost irrelevant extra bulk max HP gives.

So the spreads on each set would be:

224 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD / 24 Spe

and

224 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD / 24 Spe

Y/n?

Skarmory doesn't even need Speed EVs anymore. Timid Wobbuffet is no longer a thing, as evidenced by the OU moveset statistics. Additionally, the Speedy Wobbuffet set on its current analysis only hits 147 Speed, so it is never outspeeding Skarmory under any circumstances. Since there isn't really anything else Skarmory could invest in Speed to outrun without said Speed investment being considered Speed creep, I think we should just stick to 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe for the Defensive set and 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe for the Specially Defensive set. That, and.... When in a match are you actually going to regain Sturdy? It's just not very likely to happen, considering Skarmory is not going to be at maximum health for the majority of the match.

alexwolf · Feb 10th, 2013, 11:07:08 PM

Agreeing with LucaroarkZ, no real reason to use Speed EVs anymore. Anyone that wants to speed creep opposing Skarmory, defensive Toed or whatever, can do it on their own discression.

It's fairly situational, but it has actually helped me win some games in the past. Skarmory really appreciates having Sturdy intact when dealing with certain teams, or even just setting up another layer of Spikes against Magnezone. Moving its HP down to 224 doesn't noticeably hinder its bulk at all, especially when you're compensating by moving those EVs into its defenses.

But yea, eliminating the Speed EVs is fine with me.

The Unlucky one · Feb 13th, 2013, 6:18:36 AM

Alright guys, Nidoqueen skeleton is up. Will work on CC and OO when i have time

Joim · Feb 13th, 2013, 10:36:39 AM

Gastrodon is waiting for its final QC check.

alexwolf · Feb 13th, 2013, 4:34:30 PM

Taking over Tornadus from typon77, as he is too busy irl to finsh this...

Lord of Bays · Feb 13th, 2013, 8:34:04 PM

Slowbro is up and waiting. I've already gotten some feedback, but it's been dead-in-the-water for a few days now.

Scolipede has been moved to L&O. Parties still involved or interested in it should express so in this thread or with me.

alexwolf · Feb 15th, 2013, 12:42:42 AM

Tornadus is up!

Jukain · Feb 15th, 2013, 7:47:06 PM

ok

pk asked me to do sceptile so i'm reserving it

alexwolf · Feb 20th, 2013, 1:36:41 PM

Jirachi is not working on Starmie anymore, so it is ~~free~~ up for grabs.

Dark Fallen Angel · Feb 20th, 2013, 2:54:51 PM

I can grab up one more analysis if I am permitted, despite currently working on three already. (I don't know if there's a limit on the number of analysis where you can work)

alexwolf · Feb 20th, 2013, 2:58:53 PM

Yeah it's ok go ahead, as two of the three analyses that you have are already written.

ScraftyIsTheBest · Feb 22nd, 2013, 6:38:52 PM

For the record, Scrafty is up.

And I see Suicune on the list. I want it.

alexwolf · Feb 23rd, 2013, 1:54:34 AM

Hippowdon is done Pocket, you can remove it.

~~Remoraid~~ · Feb 23rd, 2013, 11:20:18 AM

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but custap berry has be released for a while now, and it is no were to be found on wobbbufett's analysis. I'm just wondering if it included in there, since it's kind of huge. Custap+Destiny bond works really together, I think that may deserve its own set.

Jukain · Feb 24th, 2013, 12:25:47 AM

It's not worth it's own set, but I can SCMS it in when I have time. When that analysis was written, all of the pinch berries were released except Custap, which was released shortly thereafter the analysis went on-site.

BlackLight · Feb 25th, 2013, 8:01:09 PM

Yo, is anyone planning on doing a Ferrothorn revamp anytime soon? The old EV spread is outdated (EVing to survive a Haxorus EQ is pointless now that it has Superpower at its disposal), and I don't think I've ever seen Banded Ferrothorn. Ever. I'd offer to do it myself, but I'm a bit tied up with school atm.

**Pocket** · Feb 25th, 2013, 8:57:47 PM

i think we're handling Ferrothorn via SCMS changes, but I wont mind you put up a thread of the specific changes you want to see on the analysis
