We have the technology.
In the first thread of this pre-evolution process, we discussed some of the overall ideas that we need to focus on for Syclar, the pre-evolution of Syclant. At the end, I threw out some thoughts that are necessary to consider for the future of Syclar. Please read through that post you you understand where I'm coming from in the following threads. Thanks!
Now that we've decided Syclar's abilities, we're moving on to giving it some stats. In this thread, we're going to be submitting stat spreads for Syclar, the pre-evolution of Syclant. Please recall Syclant's stat spread for this stage:
If you're looking for any advice on your stat spread, come consult us in #cap on IRC; we'd be glad to help. However, please not that I am not a guru of Pokemon stats by any means. CAP moderator Elevator Music has a strong background in Little Cup, so please refer to him if you have an indepth question. If you don't have any idea what this stage is all about, I recommend you sit in the back seat on this one and only provide suggestions. Thanks for your understanding.

For the record, this is stolen from the previous CAP pre-evo thread (which kidnapped it from the preceding thread).
For reference, these are the neutral-nature thresholds at which a level 5 Pokemon reaches a higher stat. On the left is the raw stat hit and on the right is the base stat used to achieve that new threshold. Note that for different base stats, the EV requirements to hit higher stat thresholds are different. I don't care if your stat spread makes Syclar terrible or excellent in the Little Cup metagame; just make sure there is some reasoning behind your suggested spreads.

NOTE: These base stats all require 236 EVs to get +3.
Like I mentioned, consider a base Attack stat of 75. This results in 14 Attack for a level 5 pre-evo, with 236 Atk EVs needed to hit 17. A base Attack stat of 80, on the other hand, still starts at 14 Attack, but requires only 196 Atk EVs to hit 17. If we extend this further, you notice that the base Attack stat of 85 results in a flat 15 Attack. It takes 156 Atk EVs to raise that stat to 17. See how this trend works? Every 5 point increment of a base Stat requires 40 fewer EVs to hit the same effective stat. This is important to keep in mind, because the fewer EVs it takes to hit a desired stat, the more EVs can be invested elsewhere. If you choose weird non-divisible-by-5 base Stat numbers, the rule above still applies, it just isn't going from 236>196>156 anymore, it's somewhere in-between.
While I am not setting a definitive time limit on this thread, expect something around the ballpark of 48 hours. Thanks!

Also please refer to the thread that I linked to in the first paragraph of this post. That preliminary thread had a lot of thoughts on stat spreads, so please draw inspiration from there if at all possible. It is possible that we could potentially mirror one of the four Pokemon listed at the end of that thread (Joltik, Growlithe, Karrablast / Shelmet, and Anorith). Just make sure you back up your spreads with ingame evidence whenever possible.70 / 116 / 70 / 114 / 64 / 121
