Argh. Does anyone know a good damage calculator that lets you introduce the base stats and type(s), instead of having to choose from a database, like Metalkid's? It's driving me crazy, I haven't done any calcs for my new spread because of it.
Here's the raw spread, but I'll try to post some damage calcs if someone points me to a better/faster damage calculator:
As you can see, the defenses are very good,
110/90/100, which allows it to whistand the damage from switching and then some, if the opponent outspeeds it. And thanks to its adequate
80 speed, it will be able to outspeed with some EV investment most threats with moderate/low speed. Speed devils like Stratagem, Syclant and Fidgit are a lost cause, so I just didn't spend a lot of points trying to do so. The offensive stats are as uneven as possible (
105 attack vs
65 Special Attack), to intentionally give it only one attacking option: If it's going to have great defenses, a good Attack stat, and with good certainty, Unaware to help it against stat boosters, it had to give up something: I didn't find it good to be SO versatile. Still, with the physical attacking stat, it will do great against the Top 5.
This will be probably my final submission.
Damage Calcs!
On the defense:
Stratagem:
- Modest Choice Specs Weather Ball in Sandstorm vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
29.95% - 35.38%. That's the MAXIMUM damage Stratagem will ever do to my spread with a Rock move, not even a 3HKO with Leftovers negating SS damage. I'm not putting damage calcs for other rock moves, since this is the upper limit. everything else will do less or much less damage.
- Timid Thunderbolt vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
46.23% - 54.72%. Without SR up, it only has a 6% chance of 2HKO, and with SR up, a 55% chance. Barring prediction on the opponent's side, you won't be switching into this, so you can survive a hit (plus whatever you switched into) and OHKO back.
- Timid Life Orb Technician Giga Drain vs 252/0 SpDef:
57.08% - 67.45%. I'm putting LO in this one, since the Technician set will surely use it because of the great synergy with giga Drain. As with TB, you shouldn't switch into this, and in you switch into a rock move, you are assured to kill it... Although, admittedly, with very little HP remaining.
Revenankh:
- Adamant Life Orb Hammer Arm (252 Attack EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
51.65% - 60.85%. This is the highest damage it will ever do. Which is, to be honest, quite a lot, specially considering that CAP6 cannot OHKO back.
- Standard set Hammer Arm with no BU's, or ignored BU's thanks to Unaware vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
29.01% - 34.20%. Ah, much, much better. This is what you will find 99% of the time, and is not even a 3HKO.
Fidgit:
- Timid Life Orb Earth Power (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
36.08% - 42.69%. As always, the upper limit of damage: This is the maximum Fidgit can do against my spread (well, HP Electric does 1% more), which is not even a 2HKO. That means Fidgit will have to run away even if you switch on this, or it will risk being OHKOed.
- Timid Earth Power (0 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
21.23% - 25.00%. This will be the most common set you'll encounter, and as you can see, the damage taken is really low, not even a 4HKO. Standard Fidgit just can't do anything to this.
Tyranitar:
- Adamant Choice Band Crunch (252 Att EVs) vs 252 HP/0 Def:
28.30% - 33.25%. The most powerful set on one of the most powerful pokémon, attacking the lower defensive side of my spread... And it's not even a 3HKO. Sweet.
- Adamant Choice Band Stone Edge (252 Att EVs) vs 252 HP/0 Def:
35.38% - 41.75%. More BP equals more damage, but it is still not a 2HKO, and of course, its accuracy is not exactly the best. Tyranitar will have to run for its life.
- Adamant Choice Band Earthquake (252 Att EVs) vs 252 HP/0 Def:
47.17% - 55.66%. Ah, this one isn't as good. If your opponent predicts right, 252 HP EVs won't be enough to stop it from being a 2HKO... However, my spread has that sexy 80 base Speed, which means you'll take a lot of damage on the switch, yes... But will have to run away or will get OHKOed back in the next turn.
Zapdos:
- Timid Life Orb Thunderbolt (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
93.40% - 110.38%. Not pretty, not pretty at all, but we all knew this. At least, thanks to the great 110HP/100SpDef it has, there is a chance to survive it, even with SR up.
- Timid Life Orb Thunderbolt (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/252 SpDef and boosting nature:
66.51% - 78.30%. Now that's pretty good, considering CAP6 isn't going to counter it anyway. Not a chance to OHKO, and depending on which moves CAP6 gets, you can even stay on a Zapdos switch in and damage it a lot.
- Bold/Calm Thunderbolt (0 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef: 5
8.49% - 69.34%. The bulky Zapdos versions will still 2HKO, but you won't need to run any SpDef EVs to avoid the OHKO, allowing you to punish in the same situations as the above calculation.
Syclant:
- Timid Choice Specs Blizzard (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
31.60% - 37.26%. Ho, ho, ho, look at this. The most powerful Blizzard Syclant can offer (without stat boosts), and it won't even be a 3HKO unless there's SS/Hail and it hits over 34% on the three hits. Meanwhile, your neutral STAB moves hurt its paper defenses, and there's a very good chance that CAP6 will be carrying a SE move to simply OHKO it.
- Timid Choice Specs Bug Buzz (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
23.58% - 27.83%. If Blizzard can't do it, of course Bug Buzz won't. Syclant is countered hard with my spread, period.
Heatran:
- Modest Choice Specs Overheat (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
44.34% - 52.36%. Ow. Big dent here, although it won't 2HKO because a) you outspeed it and b) the second hit will only do half the damage. Meanwhile, you have two STABs to choose to hit it SE.
- Modest Choice Specs Fire Blast (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
37.97% - 44.81%. Still big damage, but fails to 2HKO, you outspeed it, yadda, yadda.
- Modest Choice Scarf Fire Blast (252 SpAtt EVs) vs 252 HP/0 SpDef:
25.47% - 29.95%. 3HKO? Not a chance. So, it will putspeed you for a second hit, then you send it to the junkyard with the STAB of your choice.
Scizor:
- Adamant Technician Choice Band Bullet Punch (252 Att EVs) vs 252 HP/0 Def:
10.38% - 12.26%. Yeah, try again, Scizor.
- Adamant Technician Choice Band X-Scissor (252 Att EVs) vs 252 HP/0 Def:
27.59% - 32.55%. That's better... But not good enough. It still fails to 3HKO, and you outspeed it.
Well, that does defense. I'll do offense tomorrow.
