I’ll sort this by priorities 1 (high) to 3 (low) Dark flying is very self sufficient wrt coverage so additional type coverage is mostly unnecessary or at least very low priority (3) Set Up doesn’t super gel with Beak blast and what it asks of CAP 37, although there’s synergy with opportunist...

Defensively especially bulky Fairy and Electric types such as Clef, Shox, Cresceidon and Zapdos are difficult for us as they hit us super effectively and most of the time are special attackers, which means we can’t punish them with a burn. They also resist one of our Stabs and aren’t super...

Dark Flying is a relatively ability agnostic typing, in the sense that both it’s offensive and defensive profile are potent enough to not require any sort of patching up via ability. The offensive coverage is so strong that you have a very open moveset as well which means the ability also...

In terms of concept I believe CAP 37 is successful if it is capable of abusing Beak Blasts conditional burn effect or the threat of its effect to make progress. Versus more offensive archetypes this includes forcing lose lose trades/pin situations vs physical wallbreakers like Zamazenta...

1.Dark Flying has a nice broad neutral defensive line up and a crucial ground immunity, which slots in pretty well with common defensive partners, especially fire and poison types like Mollux, Prcharunt, Glowking or Heatran. Also as a dark type that is not weak to Revenankh it has an immediate...

Dark / Flying Water / Flying Steel / Flying Dark Rock / Flying Grass / Flying Dragon / Flying Flying

I agree with dex and escarlata that any non flying dual typing is a very tough sell, especially those mentioned that already have a sufficient offensive profile. Typings like water/dark, water/ground, fire/ground and even water grass will never drop their main STABs bc they already hit so much...

This only works assuming Chansey/Ting Lu/Toxapex levels of bulk. A Mon weak to zamas close combat isn’t going to stay in for a burn bc it is very likely gonna be blown up. Unless it’s a last ditch effort to thwart a sweep, that trade is very rarely worth it. On most mons beak blast would become...

Flying is a very awkward coverage typing and only really has been seen on rain sweepers (Hurricane) or on Pokemon that can abuse Acrobatics. Tbf this is also in part due to the selection of flying moves which are often very unreliable or too weak. Beak Blast is neither and using it on a Mon that...
