CaP Revision - Syclant: Part 3: Movepool change discussion

[eric the espeon]

Previous thread http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47407

TAY asked me to put up this set of threads

Our new stat spread for Syclant is
70 / 116 / 70 / 114 / 65 / 115

We have voted to remove at least some competitive moves from Syclant, next we should discuss which to remove.

A preliminary list of moves to be voted on:
Focus Blast
Tail Glow
Stone Edge
Rock Slide
Swords Dance
Superpower
Brick Break

Please suggest other competitive moves that you feel should be voted on.

Note that the non-competitive movepool will also be revised after we pick exactly which competitive moves to take out.

ps: I may not be able to put up the next thread for a couple of days, I apologize for the inconvenience.

add Superpower and possibly Brick Break to that list.

nothing else to say, I just really want to remove Fighting moves because most Special walls are weak to them.

 

[tennisace]

Add Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Fire Fang and Swords Dance.

Remove Focus Blast for sure. Superpower is less controversial now with the Pt tutor and doesn't really threaten the likes of Hariyama, Poliwrath and Forry who now can counter a FB-less Syclant.

Added all to the list of move to vote on bar Fire Fang as it is not really competitive, but more of a flavor issue.

Yes...eliminating that move might help with accusations of fanboyishness...
