    CAP 37 - Part 6 - Threats Discussion

    With beak blast, we should be able to excel at switching into physical threats, and forcing them out with the force of a burn. Pokemon that threaten that are going to be ones that can switch into us too easily, not letting us ever turn our threat into an actual burn, and physical attackers that...

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Gonna go through the abilities mentioned here and shoutout some that are related but not mentioned. Stakeout- While I support this over analytic, I am concerned about the volatility of the damage and what this could mean- I know people say it's easy to balance and it only flips a few matchup...

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Gonna make a post showing support for Stakeout over Analytic, comparing them with the questions. What synergy does this ability have with Beak Blast? How does it encourage pro-concept interactions? While in theory they do similar things, boosting damage for switches, the fact that beak blast is...

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Going to be stealing from some discord on the discord from before we chose a type and water/flying was on the table. Submitting Water Absorb. What synergy does this ability have with Beak Blast? How does it encourage pro-concept interactions? As has been discussed time and time again, Beak...

    CAP 37 - Part 5 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Between Dark/Flying and Beak Blast, I'd say the only thing we might inherently struggle with is having a natural defensive profile. Ghost/dark/psychic resists helps bolster our spdef profile, but we are a bit lacking for physical resists. The immunity to ground and dark resist do help give us...

    CAP 37 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    I think flying type is going to make it easy to make use of beak blast, and make it easier to more thouroughly explore Beak Blast- but I'm not actually decided if it has the highest potential. There has been a lot of discord talk about- what Pokemon can we actually make use of the burn effect...

    CAP 37 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    Throwing out some varying levels of support for different proposed moves. Ended up being very very basic analysis oh well While I think it's defintely possible to build around either of these moves and see success with it, I don't think these are ever going to be the main focus of the set and...

    CAP 37 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    Want to add support to the idea that the cap should be glad to run the conditional move, not forced to. Not saying we shouldn't force it to, but it should actually be something of a benefit. It's not much of an exploration if we only give it a single stab move and it ends up running it, and...

    CAP 37 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    Focusing on 2 for this. Moves we want to try avoiding as a primary focus are those that already have wide distribution and don't get utulized, or those that don't actually have a payoff that justify building around. Good conditional moves are one that have some level of consistency, or a high...
