4 spe for speedcreeping other base 60s like sylv and zone
the atk is a dump

lariat helps vs band pult
drain punch is meh but can help the custap magnezone mu if they are some scuffed zone set without hyper beam

Aromatisse's Attack on 0 Attack IVs

By default, Pokemon Showdown sets the attack IVs of a Pokemon without physical attacks to 0. This serves to minimize damage from Foul Play, as well as Confusion-induced selfhits. However, in the 1v1 metagame as it stands now, these reasons are unconvincing. Foul Play barely has any users, and Confusion only rarely comes into play through Hurricane or the occasional Swagger set (or outrage, but those mons aren't dumping attack IVs). Meanwhile, Encore and Disable have taken a flight, which means that many Pokemon regularly find themselves forced to Struggle.

After debating the matter, the setbuilders found that the disadvantages of a higher attack stat (more confusion damage, more foul play damage) were more than offset by the increase in Struggle damage.

The changes will be as follows:
-Pokemon will no longer have their attack IVs reduced to 0, unless the extra confusion damage is found to make their matchup against some hurricane user notably worse, or unless the foul play damage is found to harm some other matchup.
-Pokemon who use neither attack nor special attack (like chansey and registeel) will have their nature shifted to reduce special attack instead of attack.

This should minimally change gameplay, but provide the same kind of slight advantages that the attack minimization was originally meant to give. This section is mostly here to explain the change and our reasoning behind it. Thanks for reading!

Pokemon Set:
Crystal (Necrozma) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 224 HP / 252 SpA / 32 Spe
Modest Nature
- Photon Geyser
- Prismatic Laser
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse

EV Explanation:
Max Spa with a modest nature to maximize it's attacking power. The hp evs on Necrozma allow it to survive and hit back against Regieleki's specs thunderbolt/hyperbeam/electroball, Dragapult banded outrage and shadow force, Dragapult's specs draco meteor and shadowball, Zeraora's knock off, Rotom heat's specs overheat, Chandelure's scarf set shadow ball/overheat, Tapu Fini's trick scarf set, jolly Haxorus' outrage, Life orb Rillaboom's fake out, grassy glide combination, banded Landorus therian's knock off/ earthquake, aggron's fast band head smash and Kartana's knock off/giga impact. Necrozma's hp ev's also makes its hp total odd numbered for any nature madness strats. This set could also defeat magnezone's specs set with dark pulse doing more than half to zone but at the same time, zone cannot KO it even with mirror coat or thunderbolt.

The hp evs also allow it to have a chance of surviving and threatening an OHKO or a 2HKO against darmanitan's sheer force lifeorb flare blitz, Darmanitan galar's Flareblitz/icicle crash, Latios specs draco meteor.

The speed evs are there for certain specs Sylveons that run 176 evs in speed, 0 speed ev necrozmas, and banded adamant max speed aggron.

This set counters Avalugg, Sawk, lvl 1 Togedemaru, Urshifu rapid strike, Buzzwole, Toxicroak, Vileplume, Ferrothorn, and to an extent other necrozmas.

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the setbuilder project. That said, I have a few small questions about this spread.


You say the speed EVs are for adamant aggron and 176 speed sylveon. The former of those two is a fine benchmark (the latter isn't, because nothing is stopping sylveon from running a bit more speed if your set catches on). You also don't have the right amount for this benchmark: aggron hits 199 and the specified sylveon hits 200, but your EVs give you 202 speed total, which is one more than you'd need to outspeed here.

Also, the bulk EVs seem questionable. Usually, if you're tanking both physical and special moves, you look up what the strongest physical and the strongest special hit are, then you invest in HP until you tank one of the two, and then you invest in the relevant defense until you tank the other. Unless 224 HP is exactly enough on both sides (sceptical), it's not the optimal distribution.

A few of the specific attack benchmarks you name are also odd. Regieleki will be clicking Thunder versus necrozma. Rillaboom won't be clicking Fake Out into Grassy Glide, because they're faster than necrozma and should click Wood Hammer instead (something that your spread does not reliably live). Aggron's Band Head Smash actually kills you a fair amount of the time, contrary to what your description claims. You say this Necrozma beats Specs Magnezone, when it's actually outsped and 2hkod. Lastly, while Choice Band Darmanitan-Galar is indeed not guaranteed to KO you with icicle crash or flare blitz, it simply kills you with Giga Impact instead.

Finally, it'd help if you showed a specific calc for the specific attack you are EVing for, instead of giving a list of things you tank. It's very hard for me to see which of those calcs I should actually compare your EVs against.

You could resubmit a set that avoids these pitfalls (creeping arbitrary speed values, not having the correct amount of investment for your benchmarks, large chunks of leftover EVs dumped in HP, calcing for mons that beat you anyway). If you need a better idea of what a good application looks like, I think this one is an extremely good example to emulate.

(okay it's been brought to my attention that you put a lot of calcs in the pdf attachment; thank you for putting calcs, however, please do not put calcs in a pdf attachment)

Hi, and thanks for your interest in this project. Unfortunately, the current EV distribution is suboptimal for hitting all those benchmarks: investing in two defenses but not in HP usually is suboptimal (unless you're a mon like drifblim or wailord with a giant HP stat). Please fix that and everything should be fine.

edit: I accidentally a word

[*Swords Of Death*]

The Flash (Tapu Koko) @ Life Orb
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 92 HP / 100 SpA / 184 SpD / 132 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Thunderbolt/Wild Charge
- Charge
- Protect

Tapu Koko is a very underrated pokemon that sadly only has 1 set in the comp which is stall.
The speed is to outspeed darm-g and urshifu. Charge gives it a roll against modest specs necrozma, it also allows it to beat non specs magnezone unless they use mirror coat. Thunderbolt can be changed to Wild Charge as well as changing Tapu Koko to adamant nature 72 atk 28 Spa. Doing this gives it a winning match-up against Sylveon and a 44% chance if they are specs. Wild Charge also only has a 75% chance to ohko necrozma after charge. Also beats Mirror Coat avalugg, but if they are band just protect t1 and if they use bulldoze/heavy slam just double dazzling gleam. Overall great coverage with protect to stop custap, and Charge for the SpD raise and electric boost. Beats most every top tier besides Zygarde, Scarf Darm-g with EQ or Giga Impact, Zeraora, Metagross, Lando and Porygon-Z.

 

[fruan]

charge tapu koko is interesting but I think you are trying to make koko beat too many things and thus every matchup is unreliable currently.
The current koko set beats defensive specs necrozma but loses to fast specs and stall.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Necrozma Prismatic Laser vs. +1 92 HP / 184 SpD Tapu Koko: 288-339 (94.7 - 111.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

I don't think life orb koko is ever beating avalugg reliably unfortunately without wild investment.
252+ Atk Choice Band Avalugg Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 382-450 (111 - 130.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

also currently tapu koko even with wild charge won't beat specs sylveon
252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. +1 92 HP / 184 SpD Tapu Koko: 292-345 (96 - 113.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

Crozma bulk

Tapu Koko @ Life Orb
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 176 HP / 104 SpA / 228 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Charge
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Taunt

252+ SpA Choice Specs Necrozma Prismatic Laser vs. +1 176 HP / 228 SpD Tapu Koko: 274-324 (84.3 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 104+ SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 56 SpD Necrozma in Electric Terrain: 398-468 (100 - 117.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Haxorus Earthquake vs. 176 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 274-324 (84.3 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 176 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko on a critical hit: 282-330 (86.7 - 101.5%) -- approx. 6.3% chance to OHKO

koko vs sylveon is inherently unreliable as if you carry protect you lose to yawn sylv as you can't ohko them with your charged wild charge and if you carry taunt it's a 50/50 between charge and taunt and you lose the necrozma matchup.

 

[Here Comes Team Charm!]

Koko doesn't lose to Yawn Sylveon y'all, electric terrain blocks sleep.

I also agree with Fraun that koko's being spread too thin currently, maybe split this in one set that gives up a less-important matchup and then make an altspread along it.

 

[fruan]

Taunt into charge into wild charge beats non specs sylv, and charge t1 for specs. If koko has protect over taunt yawn sylv wins due to recoil.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. +1 168 HP / 248 SpD Tapu Koko: 273-322 (84.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 76+ Atk Life Orb Tapu Koko Wild Charge vs. 252 HP / 232 Def Sylveon in Electric Terrain: 456-538 (115.7 - 136.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Life Orb Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 168 HP / 16 Def Tapu Koko on a critical hit: 270-321 (83.5 - 99.3%) -- approx. 2HKO

 

[*Swords Of Death*]

not sure whats wrong with your calc but its not a 93.8% chance for necrozma to ohko
252+ SpA Choice Specs Necrozma Prismatic Laser vs. +1 92 HP / 184 SpD Tapu Koko: 288-339 (94.7 - 111.5%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
and as i mention before its a roll.

I also said against bulldoze/heavy slam, which is what almost every banded avalugg runs.
252+ Atk Choice Band Avalugg Bulldoze vs. 92 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 230-272 (75.6 - 89.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Avalugg Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 92 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 229-270 (75.3 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

also I said the chance of beating specs is not 100%, but it should beat most every other sylveon set
252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. +1 92 HP / 184 SpD Tapu Koko: 195-231 (64.1 - 75.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after charge Wild Charge will just ohko
the only way that they survive is if they are max hp max def
+2 72+ Atk Life Orb Tapu Koko Wild Charge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sylveon in Electric Terrain: 363-426 (92.1 - 108.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO and no one is running that sylveon, and even if they live you still win because you just wild charge a second time (you don't die from recoil after the first hit if they hyperbeam unless they are specs.
Even if they are the yawn set so they have protect they only attacking move is going to be hyper voice with fake tears and that won't kill
252 SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. -1 92 HP / 184 SpD Tapu Koko: 240-283 (78.9 - 93%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
But, you will lose after rocoil and life orb unless they have no SpA investment and if they do its a roll depending on how much investment

taunt would literally only be to stop protect and if you got rid of dazzling gleam you lose to banded urshifu dark which is just sad.

but if you want you can completely ignore the sylveon match up and just have thunderbolt instead like i said in my post for a better necrozma match up just in case.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, i know Tapu Koko is spread a little thin but i think its pretty good. I'm currently using it on an alt I made with 26 wins 7 losses and a gxe of 71%. I know theres other pokemon in that team, but Tapu Koko has had a big part in it, and should really have more than just one set in the comp. (the alt is Sample Team Test, so if you want to see my gxe later on you can)

Gum Drop (Regidrago) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Dragon's Maw
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Hp / 148 Atk / 120 Def / 76 SpA / 160 SpD
Naughty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Scale Shot
- Outrage
- Breaking Swipe

120 Def and 4 Hp to survive wicked blow from adamant banded Urshifu, 76 SpA to ohko with Draco Meteor. 160 SpD and Assault to survive Draco Meteor from modest scarf Naganadel. Naughty Nature so you out Speed Necrozma's with no speed investment. Breaking Swipe to survive Avalanche from Avalugg, 75% chance against non adamant with band. Scale Shot for the extra speed when needed, but it can be changed to fire fang for Ferrothorn and Scizor, but Scale Shot is probably better.

I know this moveset is common on Regidrago but i think the EV's are better than other sets I've seen.

I know this moveset is common on Regidrago but i think the EV's are better than other sets I've seen.

Unlike other AV regidrago sets, this loses to fast necrozma (pretty common on ladder) and is forced to run a very suboptimal nature to beat bulky sets. It also has much worse physical defense, which worsens its matchup against several urshifu sets that aren't band, and prevents it from being a reliable avalugg answer (adamant band with avalanche definitely exists, so your team will need a second lugg counter, in spite of running the drago set supposed to lure that in).

You have only explained what those EVs do: you haven't explained why you think they're better. The current AV sets can tank scarf naganadel equally well, actually run the bulk to handle all avaluggs, and tank not just band urshifu but other sets too. Your set mostly sets itself apart by running a lot of attack, at the expense of all other stats, but you haven't told us what all this attack is useful for.

 

[*Swords Of Death*]

I haven't actually did the calc for the attack, so you're probably right, I've just done really well with this draco and it still beats all the normal things except it has more attack (besides banded avalugg, and fast necrozma). I'll try to do more research into these things before I post next time, but thanks for the feedback.

Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 144 SpA / 104 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Mirror Coat
- Hydro Pump

Ev explanaition: 104 Spdf and 252 Hp allows suicune to survive a specs porygon-z hyper beam and hit it back with a mirror coat, 8 Def and 252 Hp allows for us to survive a banded archeops headsmash. All leftover evs are in Spa

Discord:
Delemon#6589

pz can learn nasty plot (which is used) so its not really a reliable pz answer, the only thing the EVs are actually good for is archeops........
i really dont get why u would use this over the compendium set

 

[*Swords Of Death*]

Mirror coat can be used to counter porygon-z, but doesn't double surf just kill unless you're trying to mirror coat thunderbolt? You make some really cool sets, but i think you messed up on the calcs for this one
128+ SpA Choice Specs Adaptability Porygon-Z Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 104 SpD Suicune: 408-482 (100.9 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

better spdef, can't get lower than 50% without losing attack
in fact, if you don't care about spdef at all, you could even run 88 HP / 172 Atk / 248 Def which gives more attack and 252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 88 HP / 248 Def Grimmsnarl: 326-384 (92.3 - 108.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO this roll

part 2

Mixed Offense (Silvally-Fairy) @ Fairy Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 8 HP / 172 Atk / 152 Def / 176 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Multi-Attack
- Icy Wind
- Swords Dance
- Flamethrower / Laser Focus
change: 160 def to 8 hp 152 def
252+ Atk Choice Band Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 8 HP / 152 Def Silvally-Fairy: 282-332 (84.6 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Also this isn't optimizing the Spectrier set but can u PLS just run better evs instead:

Spectrier @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Grim Neigh
EVs: 96 HP / 84 Def / 64 SpA / 80 SpD / 184 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind
- Hex
- Taunt

The old set (212 HP / 96 Def / 16 SpD / 184 Spe) is wayyyyy overbulked, and in return you lose out on critical rolls vs Urshifu-R, Darm, Haxorus.

this bulks two burned Banded Landorus-T eqs and lets you 2hko it in return, whereas my old set is a roll, while still living Specs Necrozma after CM
252+ SpA Choice Specs Necrozma Prismatic Laser vs. +1 96 HP / 80 SpD Spectrier: 309-364 (84.6 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band burned Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 96 HP / 84 Def Spectrier: 194-228 (53.1 - 62.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
100-62.4=37.6+25=62.6, ergo you live two.

The Spa this set has still lets you beat haxorus and darm almost every time after burn
64 SpA Spectrier Hex (130 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Haxorus: 271-321 (92.4 - 109.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
64 SpA Spectrier Hex (130 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Darmanitan-Galar: 327-385 (93.1 - 109.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
or at least more than the current set compendium set.
Also, For Urshifu-R, it has enough bulk to live 2 banded Surging Strikes after burn, so which will let you beat both bulky offensive and speedy offensive banded (even though we all know thats not optimal, we also all know we can be sure to find that laddering). For Life Orb, you would OHKO it after both burn and LO recoil, and survive Surging Strikes into Jet
64 SpA Spectrier Hex (130 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Rapid-Strike: 306-361 (89.7 - 105.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
and if you're not running band/LO then you're probs too weak to threaten this set after a burn

You can also choose to creep the chances on both band Lando-T and Urshifu-R and run 152 HP / 40 Def / 84 SpA / 48 SpD / 184 Spe, which gives the necessary Spa needed to 100% OHKO Darm-G and Haxorus instead of 93.8% and still live Necrozma after CM.

pls Here Comes Team Charm! replace the old Spect set with at least one, if not both, of these. The original's bulk isn't doing anything except losing ppl matchups. I honestly prefer the 1st one bc its the best of both worlds, but you do you


Also I mentioned the regidrago sets but since I figured it'll take a lull to update the set compendium I'll post them here so everyone else can see

Outrage AV (Regidrago) @ Assault Vest

Requesting a fix for the AV Landorus-Therian set

Pokemon Set:

AV (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 76 HP / 132 Atk / 20 Def / 176 SpD / 104 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Knock Off
- Smack Down

EV Explanation:

The prior set with 36 speed EVs doesn't outspeed occa Celesteela and loses the matchup because of it. Being able to beat Celesteela reliably is extremely important for Lando-T in this meta and lets it compete with Zygarde as a relevant ground type in 1v1. The prior set also lost to scarf cresselia, which it was supposed to beat due to being slower after a knock off. This new set speed creeps max speed Celesteela as well as outspeeds cresselia after a knock off. The physical bulk ensures you live banded Regidrago's outrage while the special bulk ensures you live 2 Draco Meteors from custap Regidrago, specs hyper beam from Sylveon, and essentially always live 2 ice beams from scarf Cresselia (2% chance to not get 2hkod). Banded Regidrago is a notable matchup as the previous spread did not outspeed Drago and lost the matchup. Being able to beat Band Drago makes Lando-T an all around counter to the compendium Regidrago sets, which is impressive for a non fairy type.

Hi Torterra! Glad to see your interest in the sets compendium.

You'll be happy to know people within the discord already pointed out the current AV lando-T set is suboptimal and should be updated, and a set with similar benchmarks was presented a while ago (and will be included in the next release). Obviously, this doesn't invalidate your submission, and I'll add you to the channel.

-Removed both of the balloon heatran sets we had before
-Removed the old nidoking set and split it into two.
-Removed copperajah (rip funny elephant)

Tweaks
-Removed the 0 attack IVs mistakenly listed for AV Tentacruel.
-Reworked LO Aegislash.
-Overhauled stall arcanine to make it faster.
-Listed Seismic Toss before Scald on stall Azumarill because beating zarude is kinda neat.
-Gave Occa Buzzwole defense investment instead of attack investment for a better garchomp matchup.
-Reworked Chansey's slash options, Charm was removed as its main target (Aggron) has been dropping off.
-Slashed Fire Blast on scarf clefable as an anti-ferrothorn/aegislash tech, also changed the listed order of the abilities.
-Updated EVs on corsola-galar to improve its dracozolt matchup.
-Gave Darmanitan SpD instead of Def investment for the occasional P2 matchup.
-Updated the whimsicott sets so they always get 4 substitutes from full (matters when missfishing).
-Slashed Earthquake on Chople Tyranitar for zeraora reliability.
-Changed Custap Aggron's nature to Brave for optimal Metal Burst underspeeding.
-Altered Curse Dragapult's EVs for maximum physical bulk, to maximize aggron odds.
-Put Snarl over Surf on Specs Hydreigon, as Surf wasn't actually necessary for beating Heatran and Snarl improves matchups vs dragapult.
-Gave Roserade Technician for Stronger Struggles :sparkle:
-Altered quagsire to have max physical bulk by default as beating band darmG is more important than anything special defense gets you. The old spread remains available in the doc.
-Removed Thunderbolt from Regieleki.
-Made scarf togekiss 252/252.
-Removed Stone Edge as an option on AV tyranitar, as Crunch is required for the reliable band dragapult matchup.
-Made magnezone 252/252.
-Made band regidrago 252/252.
-Overhauled the Haban Goodra set.
-Overhauled Scarf Heatran, it's a regidrago counter now.
-Reworked WP and AV incineroar.
-Reworked Specs PZ's moves.
-Updated stall entei so it has max speed now.
-Reworked moltres-galar bc i could no longer pretend specs rotom was a legitimate target.
-Slashed brave bird on regular moltres.
-Slashed Dig on weavile as an anti-magnezone option that still has some use in the Aggron matchup too.
-Reordered toxapex's moves because Haze is far superior to its other options.
-Overhauled Sawk's moves and EVs a bit.
-Overhauled the rillaboom sets.
-Made scarf salamence 252/252.
-Made defensive specs necrozma slightly more offensive for the volcanion matchup.
-Slashed Icy Wind on wacan prim (gives okay odds vs zone).
-Tweaked AV metagross, it has dropped rock tomb as it no longer beats the new heatran sets.
-Slashed Endure on WP metagross as an anti-gdarm (and marowak-a) tech, slashed the nature because it might be able to dump spa now.
-Reworked the mess of slashes that was LO zapdos.
-Slashed Psychic on LO landorus for venu and bulky ursh-rapid.
-Edited Haban stall Kyurem's evs which were wrong all this time?
-Gave custap prim an actual special benchmark and four whole extra spa evs.
-Updated stall koko because 50-50ing spectrier isn't great as far as benchmarks go.
-Custap chomp was super weirdly evd, that is fixed now and it's kommo-o matchup is better now.
-Slashed Scale Shot on Haban Zygarde for a better haban regidrago matchup.

And most importantly:
-Optimized lots of EV spreads using Alakazam 's advice, tysm!
(Optimized spreads include WP zapdos-galar, belly drum azu, specs blaceph, scarf blaceph, band buzzwole, specs celesteela, custap chandelure, toxic durant, AV entei, AV garchomp, LO grimmsnarl, spd specs kyurem, AV kyurem, chople kyurem, silvally-fairy, both AV regidrago sets, and WP zygarde).
-Also reworked the entire spectrier spread, again thanks to Alakazam.
