Download is fairly simple, but excels on a typing that is generally specially biased while having a physical pivoting move. If you, for whatever reason, get the wrong boost just Flip Turn out, if you get the correct boost just attack what's in front of you with your main stab(s). Quite simple...

Eel is realistically a B- or so mon. Its offensively threatening beyond most of the rest of the tier given Ion Battery and its absurd special movepool, but at the same time, its taking 40% from Clefable's Moonblast, and while Levitate gives it some free switchins, the most common ground in the...

If I see anyone using clef / liep balance in ORAS I'm gonna have to come out of retirement to permanently kill that style.

Doesn't Excadrill-Mega have Mold Breaker thus making the calc pointless. I know that like there's other stuff but just an amusing choice of example. Beyond that please give Excadrill-Mega Earth Eater please.

Played a fair bit of the meta. Zygarde, Greninja, Mega-Metagross are all mons without reasonable counterplay. Greninja has 3 separate sets, all of which have varying counterplay, and a wrong guess will lose you the game very quickly. Regular Greninja already speed-creeps most of the meta...

Grass Knot, +7 SPA -7 ATK to Both Forms

Grass Knot, +7 SPA -7 ATK to Both Forms Grass Knot, Encore, +10 SPA -10 ATK to Radiant Form Taunt + Stealth Rocks

Neither the framework nor the concept mention this. We proceeded with that ruling based on what I recall to be discord discussion, but I don't think its required by either the framework nor the concept. ====== Taunt makes a lot of sense as a stallbreakery set of Inferno/Blizzard/Polar/Taunt...

Ram is a functional mon to use atm, but its also a bit of a frustrating mon to both use and face. I think my issue with the mon is its checks are too sturdy for a mon that has to spend a low-tempo turn to actually threaten to clean. Most of its competition is significantly more threatening...

Final Submission Entropy Horn Entropy goes from hot to cold, Horn cause both instrument and well, look at the thing.

CAP Song being a sound move feels weirdly a bit anti-concept. The concept calls for us to come in and chip stuff early game, and then aim to clean late game, and having our gameplan be "hope our team manages to chip stuff then go for a sweep" is a bit against that. Make the move category-less...

Ok, lied a bit about expanding the above post. Collected a few mons that have historically hit OU, fit well enough within the box we're defining for CAP 36-Aria, and calculated their BSR and other stats using t=3: NAME HP Atk Def SpA SpD Spe BST PS SS PT ST...

Dont see much of a point in lower bounds for speed for the base forme. Being slower than attackers like gholdengo let's you tank a terad ghold in your base forme then finish it off. I'll expand this tomorrow.

Lets say we define SS for the cleaner as SpA[Base] x Speed[Base] I'm going to disagree with this. The base assumption behind the SS formula is that as speed increases you get more threatening. I'm not convinced this is true here, as a slower / tankier base forme may actually be more threatening...
