Final Submission

52 HP / 78 Atk / 71 Def / 45 SpA / 53 SpD / 84 Spe (BST: 383)

Upon evolution: +50 HP / +50 Atk / +55 Def / +0 SpA / +25 SpD / -20 Spe

Just like Flox, Scraptor looks like it needs some extra speed, this time hitting the 19 Spe benchmark at level 5. This allows us to speed tie Meowth, Alolan Diglett, and Wingull and blaze past the rest of the metagame. Elekid still jumps us tho.

With our 45 SpA intact, we could get some solid use out of special fire coverage (Vullaby has 45 SpA).

Final Submission

52 / 78 / 51 / 35 / 43 / 84 (BST: 343)

Upon evolution: +50 HP / +50 Atk / +75 Def / +10 SpA / +35 SpD / -20 Spe

The HP is eyeballed; it's pretty mediocre, while the defenses are cut to be close together with slightly physically leaning bulk. I've cut the defenses each by 5 from the original spread due to balance concerns. Overall the bulk is bad, but not abra bad.

78 attack is very average for a physical attacker; it's a little less than "strong" looking mons like and but it's a little more than "scrappy" looking mons like and . It's also enough to ohko mienfoo with beak blast after rocks about 80% of the time. 35 special attack is standard for many pokemon that evolve into 45 spA pokemon, such as , , , and /.

84 speed is 20 more than obliteryx due to scraptor's fluttery, lightweight build, and is a similar to , who goes from 85 speed to 65 when evolving. It's exactly the same speed as , which I think feels about right. Moderately high speed creates interesting scenarios in cap lc where it wants to click knock for the eviolite removal and speed but it also likes spamming beak blast to ward away opposing knocks.

I promise I was 66% done with this spread when Ix dropped theirs, and the only thing I stole was the "upon evolution" text and everything else was a coincidence. At least there's another option I would be happy to see win the poll!

I've nerfed the defenses some, but an ev spead of 212 Atk/28 Def/12 SpD/244 Spe with a jolly nature hits 19 speed and still almost always barely survives stone edge and thunderbolt. Many okho targets, such as , , and are just out of reach without one layer of spikes or stealth rocks, so scraptor abuses its own or teammates' hazards very well.

Went with a spread that I think just looks nice astethically here. Has a pretty big bulk reduction for obvious reasons, and is also a fair bit faster to reflect our much more sleek nature.

Didn't bother doing anything competitive with this spread because we are realistically gonna be outclassed by Vullaby anyways, and I think trying to compete with it is only gonna end up resulting in us creating a mon I am not too sure I want to be facing (Opportunist + Sucker Punch is already kinda scary in little cup). I kinda regret submitting a fairly competitive spread for Shox since it just resulted in the mon becoming really overtuned.

Final Submission

46 HP / 68 Atk / 52 Def / 35 SpA / 32 SpD / 88 Spe (BST: 321)

Upon Evolution: +56/+60/+74/+10/+46/-24 (+222 BST)

Scraptor's design to me looks like the embodiment of fast and frail, so leaned into that type of build here. Like DPM I don't put much stock in going for competitive merits, just crafted the spread to fit the glass-cannon archetype and did some minor aestheticmaxxing. BST is a descending number like Obli's, 543 -> 321, and makes the BST bump a cute +222, also kept its defensive biases roughly the same.

51 HP / 64 Atk / 63 Def / 22 SpA / 39 SpD / 32 Spe

I just went the Makuhita-Hariyama approach as that made decent sense and decided to round down on special attack. For a base stage Mon, not an awful spread (Probably not excellent outside of Trick Room in CAP LC either) and I feel like it gets the job done.
