You know what? I'ma be insane and suggest Innards Out This is a very unique ability that inflicts damage to a Pokemon that KOes the wielder equal to the amount of HP that wielder had at the time it took the attack. This can make opponents think twice before clicking their Ground or Fighting...

Psychic/Fairy

Psychic/Fairy ...now hear me out. You have your Throat Spray that you wanna use up to activate Unburden, right? That demands that you have a sound move at least somewhere in your movepool so that you can actually trigger said Throat Spray. What better attack to lead off your Unburden sweep with...

Skipping the first question cause I have nothing to add that's any different to what was said already. I'll do the other two, though Immunity abilities are very strong and help to fix issues with typing. With this in mind, should immunity abilities be on the table for CAP35 considering our aim...

Bug/Dark Psychic/Fighting Electric/Normal

Fire/Normal Bug/Dark Not sure how exactly I feel about the others, so I won't bother putting anything else on

Turns out there were more types I wanted to talk about, so I'm making a second post so I can actually talk about them ... I'll lead off with an expansion on Electric/Dark, which I threw on as an honorable mention at the last second. Like I said in the post in question, a very light Pokemon...

Enough time has passed. Support post incoming! (also this is totally not me posting so I can show off my new Smogon avi; shut up and lemme prove it!) I honestly really like Normal/Fire, especially over the vast majority of other Normal subs. The main question you'd have to ask with Normal is...

Ice/Fighting Originally I was planning to use Ice/Poison, but as I dug through the VR ratings for ideal matchups, I realized one thing in common; Knock Off is there to fuck with almost all of said match-ups. As such, I've executed a change of plans, and am officially submitting Ice/Fighting in...

Prioritizing the "Holder Of Many" questionnaire cause I still think that's the better direction to go 1.) Is the weakness profile something we need to build around, as to minimize the range of Pokemon we want to check that are able to break through us? Or, should we lean more into a set of...

Splitting Questions 1 & 4 into two segments each. It's easier to answer the both of them that way :] 1a.) What exactly makes a typing contradictory in the context of being a wall? What qualities of typing contribute to making a successful wall? The number and degree of weaknesses and...

Wall + Offensive Stats Wall + Typing Contradiction Wall + No Reliable Recovery

Cleaner + No Coverage Wall + Offensive Stats Wallbreaker+ Dedicated Defensive Typing Setup Sweeper + Setdown Moves Wall + Typing Contradiction Wall + No Reliable Recovery

Revision time Tank + Poor Defensive Typing I already mentioned how tanks tended to sacrifice speed in order to tank big hits and dish them back out, so I'll instead take this time to expand on the contradiction better. In order to determine what constitutes as a "poor defensive typing", we...

Not sure if this conflicts too heavily with Wall + Typing, but I'ma suggest this anyway: Tank + Typing Tanks are designed to take big hits and dish them back, and often sacrifice speed for this capability for balance reasons. However, because of their lack of speed, their typing is often the...

You Knocked On The Wrong Door, Fool! (WIP) Description: A Pokemon that specializes in mitigating the impact that Knock Off has on its team, and/or even outright punishing Knock Off's use Justification: Knock Off has become a staple move for forcing progress in competitive Pokemon, ever since it...
