    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    :pmd/Venomoth: :pmd/Delcatty: :pmd/Sigilyph: :pmd/Bruxish: Wonder Skin This would be an ability moreso leaning into the defensive utility. Decreasing the accuracy of all Utility Moves as well as Defog and the likes to 50%, makes pressing something like Will-O not entirely free. The opp has to...

    :pmd/Thievul: :pmd/Mabosstiff: Stakeout I will answer this by giving an example of a very realistic scenario. Our opp has a :Great Tusk: out on the field and is threating our :Gholdengo: . Obviously Knock Off or Headlong Rush are likely to be coming our way. 37 with its Dark/Flying Typing is...

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    I do like Thermal Exchange cause Burn is quite annoying for us and getting an Immunity alongside getting boosted by fire type moves definitely helps 37 into the one type it can‘t burn at all. Heatproof on the other hand I don‘t really like that much. It doesn’t give us Burn Immunity and just...

    We have Taunt guaranteed so I don‘t see massive issue with that honestly. Like obviously we won‘t have the speed to taunt all the status spreaders but I‘m moreso worried about Will-O and Sludgebomb/Malignant Chain

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    We are SR weak and therefore Knock Off Weak. We can give 37 an ability that punishes contact and therefore punishes Knocking Off but we have to question if further disincentivizing contact moves is fulfilling our concept. Such an ability would definitely help out our typing but it would...

    CAP37 - Part 4 - Role Discussion

    I‘ll answer this first as I have more to say. Given that we are Dark/Flying Taunt is one of the Defining moves which is intrinsically a pro concept move as it prevents opponents from doing non damaging moves which comes to BBs advantage. Additionally BBs a very special move as it can create...

    CAP37 - Part 4 - Role Discussion

    Well with Dark/Flying we are not weak to Knock Off Damage but still incentivize Opponents to use the move on us because of our SR weakness. We don‘t just straight up resist U-Turn therefore U-turn is also encouraged only taking Typing into account. We generally bait a lot of Physical Contact...

    CAP 37 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    :pmd/Tornadus-Therian: Flying I was thinking about this for quite some time but ultimately I do wanna at least mention the possibility of us going just Mono Flying. I already talked about why Flying is mandatory in my eyes so I wanna use this to focus more on why I believe that Mono-Flying can...

    CAP 37 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    :pmd/Pelipper: :pmd/Mantine: :pmd/Swanna::pmd/gyarados: :pmd/cramorant: Water/Flying So this typing was already suggested but I wanted to delve a little bit more into it. Let‘s talk about Flying first as it‘s the easiest one to explain. Our concept is Beak Blast and for that I truly believe...
