    CAP 35 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Submitting Stakeout. As others have mentioned, our typing is a much more natural fit for a special wall than a physical one. Differentiating CAP35 from Blissey is therefore a primary consideration. With my proposed ability, CAP35 would "stake out" a much more aggressive and interesting niche...

    Final Submission Smoghorn From "foghorn" (alluding to this Pokemon's use of sound moves), "smog" (for the clouds of poisonous gas it emits), and "horn" (referencing the Dragon type). Pronounced: SMOG-hawn

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    I am strongly opposed to Clangorous Soul. I don't deny that it is a natural pairing with Dazzling and that it will offer us the most flexibility at the stats stage. However, it strikes me as a fundamentally weak and unsatisfying way of fulfilling our concept. Firstly, Clangorous Soul is the one...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    I share viol and bass's concern about priority attackers halting our sweep. However, it's worth mentioning the following factors which will mitigate our priority weakness: CAP34 can activate Throat Spray by KOing a weakened opponent, so it will be difficult for an opponent to force damage on it...

    CAP 34 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    In my opinion, we should choose a relatively poor offensive typing for CAP34, forcing it to rely on super-effective coverage moves rather than spamming STAB attacks. This approach synergises well with Throat Spray because: Throat Spray frees up a moveslot for CAP34 to run additional coverage...

    CAP 34 - Part 2 - Defining Moves 1

    In my view, trying to "keep our options open" at this stage by selecting a palette of different sound-based moves would be a mistake. Psychic Noise is pretty clearly our best choice, offering acceptable damage output, a way for our sweeper to invalidate Unaware and other passive defensive...

    What are some items that are pro-concept and have the requisite power to be used? Metronome Blunder Policy Throat Spray Power Herb Note: I removed Quick Claw from this list due to being uncompetitive, Eviolite for being dull, and Weakness Policy for depending too much on the element of...
