    CAP 37 - Part 8 - Stat Limits

    I somewhat favor very slow spreads here, even though this makes taunt a bit less useful. In a good portion of interactions, taunting first or second is a matter of one extra recovery move (e.g. against corv) which, while impactful, has somewhat limited utility. As far as I'm concerned, unless we...

    CAP 37 - Part 7 - Defining Moves

    Spicy Extract is very fun, and I would love to have it assuming it's not verboten as a signature move. It gives us a really good late-game match up into bulky special attackers like Cresc, Glowking, Alomamola, etc while not affecting the early-to-mid game match up too much. It's almost certainly...

    CAP 37 - Part 7 - Defining Moves

    I'm going to strongly second this, I have been running more calcs and our ability to juice the attack stat gets pretty limited if we have ground coverage. Fighting coverage isn't so terrible, especially body press, but I concur and advocate for no notable coverage moves, dark/flying is a good...

    CAP 37 - Part 7 - Defining Moves

    I really don't like the idea of giving it recover, it kinda feels like pointless micro-optimization when there are vanishingly few flying types that get access to non-roost recovery. Giving it rocks is very appealing to me, though now that we have recovery and knock we aren't in need of ways to...

    CAP 37 - Part 7 - Defining Moves

    Beak Blast is the obvious required move, and I'm of the opinion that it is the only required move here. I strongly believe that recovery should most definitely be optional for now, with BSR penalties for its inclusion. I understand that this would bifurcate the stats stage to some degree, as the...

    CAP 37 - Part 6 - Threats Discussion

    A lot of matchups against slower bulky mons with recovery depend a lot on our access to taunt or recovery, such as ID corv, Alomamola in the endgame, Skarmory, and defensive Dragonite. A lot of our matchups (e.g. against Gliscor sets with toxic) also strongly depend on outspeeding with taunt...

    CAP 37 - Part 6 - Threats Discussion

    There is a somewhat wide range of physical tankiness that we can get away with in this concept, and it affects our matchup spread a lot here. In the interest of not polljumping, I have been running calcs with physical spreads everywhere from zapdos to pechurant and several in between, but I will...
