CAP 37 So Far
-----
Hello,
Today we're going to be voting on which stat spread to give to CAP 36. Here are the explanations Da Pizza Man, our Section Leader for this stage, has provided for each of the options in their final slate.
Guingil
Optional Defining Moves: N/A
Starting off, we have a fairly offensive-focused spread on Guingil that aims to use Beak Blast as more of wallbreaking tool. Compared to many of the other offensively oriented spreads, Guingil decided against sacrificing speed, instead choosing to forgo any moves with penalties (Sucker Punch/Encore), a smart decision that helped him stand out well from the crowd. Furthermore, the high Attack and decent speed means it can focus more on defense investment than many of the other spreads on the slate, offering a great deal of spread variety.
dex
Optional Defining Moves: Sucker Punch
dex's spread doesn't really specialize in any particular area, opting to have a solid all-around profile instead. Where this spread truly shines, and why it was slated, is how it rewards smart spread investment, using a unique spread to enable Beak Blast to become a solid progress-making tool and minimize situations where it may be less desirable to use, playing well into the concept and justifying its niche on several different teams. The inclusion of Sucker Punch plays into this as well, preventing it from being taken advantage of set-up sweepers.
Scizivire
Optional Defining Moves: Sucker Punch
Similarly to Guingil, Scizivire choose to go with a very offensive route for his spread that uses Beak Blast more as a wallbreaking tool. However, unlike Guingil, Scizivire choose to enable this by sacrificing a great deal of speed and special bulk, which allows his spread to keep access to Sucker Punch. While I have spoke about my concerns with high Attack and Sucker Punch before, I personally believe that low ST and BSR compared many of the other submissions balances this out nicely.

- Do NOT bold anything other than the options you are voting for.
- Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
- Only one option per line.
- Spellings must match EXACTLY the options listed below.
- Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
