So you know dem flash CAPs we sometimes make in IRC?

Well I asked if anyone wanted to make one

then we did.

Basespeed's Concept: A wall that gets its walling potential from anything but its base stats


Name: Petrogeist (submitted by Kadew)
The Stalagmite Pokemon
Height: 4'11" ft.
Weight: 180.1 lbs.
Typing: Ghost/Rock
Primary Ability: Intimidate
Flavor Ability: Rock Head

Pokedex Entries:

Black: It is made of rocks from ancient tombstones. Petrogeist goes wandering at night leaving a trail of pebbles behind so it can find its resting place at dawn. (Yveltal's)
White: It has a habit of hoarding trinkets stolen from travellers entering its caves. People try to search for the hoard, but it has never been found.

B2/W2: Its ectoplasm tastes like blueberry ice cream.

(stop me if this is a bad idea) I don't see why we can't come out of Gen 5 doing a handful of flash CAPs. Petrogeist's creation was a lot more fun to sit through than Malaconda (though I'm not saying anything about the quality of the end results between CAP5 and the most recent speed CAP)and all the important deliberating on stat spreads and movepools can get done in a day. The most time consuming bit would be voting on the flavor aspects, like having a couple of days for art submissions and flavor ability submissions.

I would be very interested in seeing the result of an official "speed CAP" and determining how the end result would differ from all the past creations.

Flash CAPs are fun, but there's just no way that a "serious" project could ever be done that way. During Petrogeist I wanted to submit a stat spread, but I just couldn't come up with anything in the twenty minutes or so that I had to work on it. I and other spend days working on stat spread submissions for real CAPs. While there's nothing wrong per se with the spread we got, I suspect that most of the stats were more or less arbitrary, or based on one or two particular calcs that seemed relevant. Movepools are much the same: I did submit a complete movepool for Petrogeist, but I was rushing through the entire thing just adding random moves as they came. And it shows: while I think my Petrogeist movepool was pretty good for something I did in less than an hour, from both competitive and flavour POVs it's much worse than the average CAP movepool submission, including my own submissions for full CAPs. My Malaconda movepool had pages of justifications for various moves (I may have gone a bit too far on that one actually...) while for Petrogeist I didn't even get a chance to defend any of my decisions because I had to go to bed more or less right after submitting it.
 
I dislike the idea of Pokémon being based on a new type combination. Some of them don't even make sense. It is also kind of weird when unique type combinations are used again. For example, if there was a new Dark/Fire type, many people would view Houndoom as less special.

Personally, I am glad that Gen VI is bringing forth more Fighting/Dark because that has always made sense and there are various ways to represent it.

Concept should always come before typing.
 
Posted that before I even saw Petrogeist. Perfect example, no offense. While I do like the design, the concept is simply Ghost/Rock. Its name literally means Rock Ghost. (Petro = Greek for Rock, Geist = German for Ghost)

I'm not trying to knock Petrogeist as if it were a bad Pokémon. It's just kind of like the Vanilluxe line in terms of originality. And I like Vanilluxe.
 
The flash CAPs aren't serious projects though, they're just a bit of fun, to keep people's attentions and keep IRC a good place to go, while we wait between projects. The concept stage is taken incredibly seriously in full projects, if you're wondering how much it is the focus of a project have a nip through some of the archived progress stages for previous CAPs. Some of the concept submissions, and the subsequent discussions where the direction of the CAP is decided, are some of the most interesting and focused sections of the project. You're new so stick around for CAP 6 which will be the last of the V gen pokemon.

And besides, we didn't make Petrogeist Ghost / Rock just for the hell of it anyway. The goal was a wall with low base stats, so we wanted Ghost for immunities and Rock for the boost to SpDef from sandstorm.

IIRC we also discussed Steel / Ghost and Steel / Dragon, maybe some others.

We made this flashcap about 2 weeks ago but never got around to posting it here.

Now it's here.

Additionally, a prevo was decided upon with a name I submitted, Snoutlet. Feel free to draw us some beautiful baby electric pangolins :)
 
Ampeater's sprite looks very nice. His stats remind me of Cyclohm in a way, probably because of the high Defense and Special Attack, but with higher Speed and Special Defense.

I would draw my version of Snoutlet, but I am afraid of making it look practically identical.

Oh, and happy belated 6th birthday to the CAP Project!

Dracoyoshi8 Your Snoutlet looks very cute. Will you color it anytime soon?

I wonder if anyone thought of a prevo for Petrogeist. I suggest so because most of the flavor CAPs are single-stage.

I've noticed people getting together to create flavour CAPs. How can i get involved?
These just tend to "happen" sometimes when the chat is dead in #CaP. There hasn't been one for a while though and likely won't be until Kalos CaP 1 (Or CaP 18 depending on Nomenclature) is over.

That's adorable, Anacrusis! Murkrow has got NO CHANCE.

I hope you stick around to submit some art for CAP18!

Hi so a large group of people were active on #cap so we decided to make a Flash Mega Evolution of a previous Flash CAP seen here.

Without further ado, Mega Cnidali:

Typing:
Poison / Fighting
Poison / Fighting

Abilities:
Regenerator / Stench / Poison Heal (DW)
Contrary

Stats:
109 HP / 100 Atk / 85 Def / 40 SpA / 90 SpD / 66 Spe
109 HP / 130 Atk / 95 Def / 60 SpA / 120 SpD / 76 Spe

BST Total:
490
590

Moves:
Same movepool as before, but with a few new XY moves added:
Fell Stinger
Infestation
Power-Up Punch

(RIP BELCH KADEW SMELLS)





So basically the point of this Mega Evolved Flash CAP was thought to be Contrary abuse, with STAB Superpower, Knock Off, and Sting Jab (its signature move 85 BP Poison, 30% Paralysis) to get perfect coverage. Meanwhile, the 4th slot can use Sucker Punch to cover its speed issues, much like Mega Mawile does. This contrasts with its original BW NU intent to be a bulky hazard controller that could still pack a punch when needed.

It's quite possible that Mega Cnidali is broken with this insane ability to use Contrary Superpower alongside perfect coverage and great bulk, but then most Megas seem very broken on paper.

I know we had some potential art in the works, so if those artists or any other artists want to post their ideas for what this guy might turn into, feel free to post below. This is Cnidali in original state, with art by ium.

-------------------------------

<bugmaniacbob> true charizard counter - mono-fairy + flash fire?
<Yilx> hmm probably
<FMD> Maybe.
<Yilx> it needs proper defenses too
<BaseSpeed> Perhaps we should make a CAP for it :P
<Yilx> but that sounds about right
<FMD> We could play around with it a lot.
<Looking4Godot> it also needs something that allows him to sacre out charizard
<Looking4Godot> scare*
<FMD> Rock type moves could do that easily if Charizard's damage was absorbed enough.
<bugmaniacbob> do you wanna make a flash cap~
<FMD> Sounds good to me.
<BaseSpeed> "Fuck Charizard": The Flash Cap?
<bugmaniacbob> more or less
<BaseSpeed> Well it's the shortest concept submission I've ever seen
<bugmaniacbob> ok everyone suggest a typing
<BaseSpeed> Could be amusing if enough people are up for it
<Looking4Godot> monofairy imo
<bugmaniacbob> any other suggestiong?
<bugmaniacbob> ok
<BaseSpeed> Gimme a second to see if I can come up with another type that can deal with all Zard moves?
<bugmaniacbob> all right, take your time
<FMD> Fairy/Flying
<bugmaniacbob> ew SR weak
<FMD> Added benefit of EQ immunity
<bugmaniacbob> zard can use stone edge can't it
<FMD> True... :/
<bugmaniacbob> oh no my mistake
<bugmaniacbob> just rock slide
<Looking4Godot> well
<Looking4Godot> iron tail too
<FMD> Are we kind of already assuming Flash Fire?
<bugmaniacbob> well
<bugmaniacbob> do you have an alternative?
<FMD> I was just seeing if a type that's weak to Fire could still be a good idea.
<bugmaniacbob> most types weak to fire have terrible defensive qualities
<bugmaniacbob> bug, grass, ice etc
<bugmaniacbob> and steel makes us eq weak
<BaseSpeed> What about Steel/Flying?
<FMD> That's what I was thinking.
<bugmaniacbob> that's an idea
<Yilx> steel/flying with flash fire
<Looking4Godot> needs a great deal of special defense for focus blast
<Yilx> is probably
<Yilx> the best zard switch-in
<Yilx> nah
<Yilx> i think it needs more phydef
<Yilx> to take
<Yilx> dragon claws/outrages
<FMD> Steel/Flying Flash Fire is great against both.
<Yilx> focus blast can be mitigate
<Yilx> because it is inaccurate as fuck
<Looking4Godot> hm
<Yilx> and zard
<Yilx> will not launch focus blast
<Looking4Godot> well that's true
<Yilx> right off the bat
<Yilx> probably
<Yilx> and no stab
<Looking4Godot> but outrage traps you and it's kinda rare
<Yilx> well
<Yilx> zard-x usually opens with
<Yilx> dd
<bugmaniacbob> but but but /cawmodore/
<Yilx> or roost if it eats
<Yilx> sr damage
<Yilx> sometimes dclaw
<Yilx> or just flare litz
<Looking4Godot> aye
<Yilx> -y opens with
<Yilx> solarbeam
<Yilx> or fireblast
<Yilx> unless they get ballsy
<Yilx> but if i were using a zard-y
<Yilx> i will not use focus blast right off the bat
<Looking4Godot> ^though really this in a metagame without "fuck 'zard cap"
<Yilx> unless their only zard-y switch in is tran
<Looking4Godot> we don't surely know
<BaseSpeed> Steel/Flying, Mono Fairy and Fairy/Flying all miss out on super effective STABs
<Looking4Godot> how players will act
<Looking4Godot> in a meta with this guy
<Yilx> hitting it neutral is good enough imo
<Yilx> zard isnt the bulkiest guy around
<Yilx> -y is surprisingly specially bulky
<Yilx> it always survives 252+ rotom-w's thunderbolt for example
<Yilx> same for -x on the physical side
<bugmaniacbob> roost makes it a bit trickier though
<Yilx> forget baout roost, you're not even KOing it from full HP lol
<bugmaniacbob> exactly, if you can't do over 50% you lose to DD zard-x
<Yilx> 252+ SpA Rotom-W Thunderbolt vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard Y: 248-294 (83.2 - 98.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
<FMD> If we outspeed or can Para?
<bugmaniacbob> that's another matter, admittedly
<bugmaniacbob> but losing to subDD is also a possibility
<bugmaniacbob> it can't be super tanky, faster than zard and able to do significant damage all at once
<FMD> Rock Blast?
<bugmaniacbob> hmm
<BaseSpeed> Shouldn't we decide on a type before we begin debating all this?
<bugmaniacbob> how much attack would one need to break a sub
<Looking4Godot> eeeh, is substitute really that great of a choice for charizard?
<bugmaniacbob> oh yea right
<bugmaniacbob> depends if it can beat its best counter with it
<Looking4Godot> but this way he'll lose either roost or a coverage move
<bugmaniacbob> if it's fairy+flashfire then no because it can't have 2-move coverage and win
<Looking4Godot> considering charizard sr weak it'll die so quickly
<bugmaniacbob> true
*** Pwneyawn is now known as Pwnemon
<bugmaniacbob> anyway, shall we vote on typing?
<bugmaniacbob> all those in favour of steel/flying say aye
<BaseSpeed> Aye
<FMD> Aye
<BaseSpeed> Hang on
<BaseSpeed> What's the slate?
<BaseSpeed> Steel/Flying, Fairy and Fairy/Flying?
<bugmaniacbob> steel/flying, mono-fairy, fairy/flying
<Looking4Godot> both are cool either way, so add me in the majority
*** Quanyails [Mibbit@synIRC-E0F75E07.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net] has joined #cap
*** mode/#cap [+h Quanyails] by BarackObama
<bugmaniacbob> the three suggested
<bugmaniacbob> ok let's try again
<FMD> Fairy/Flying, Fairy and Steel/Flying
<Looking4Godot> fairy/flying it's kinda meh tho
<bugmaniacbob> you have 10 seconds from the time of messaging
<bugmaniacbob> all those in favour of steel/flying say aye
<BaseSpeed> aye
<FMD> Aye
<Quanyails> Is this what I think this is?
<bugmaniacbob> aaand stop
<bugmaniacbob> yes quany, it is
<FMD> True Charizard counter CAP
<bugmaniacbob> all those in favour of mono-fairy say aye
<bugmaniacbob> aye
<Quanyails> Might as well chip in, even if I'm spriting currently.
<bugmaniacbob> 1 vote
<bugmaniacbob> all those in favour of fairy/flying say aye
<BaseSpeed> *Tumbleweed*
<bugmaniacbob> all right then
<bugmaniacbob> let us proceed with steel/flying
<bugmaniacbob> what abilities would we like to see?
<BaseSpeed> Flash Fire is obvious
<FMD> Yeah
<Looking4Godot> hmm we could base the guy
<BaseSpeed> However, I'd like to put Drizzle forward too
<Looking4Godot> around some kind of metal
<bugmaniacbob> Yes, I'll mark that as given
<Looking4Godot> who "resists fire"
<Looking4Godot> so other fire related stuff?
<bugmaniacbob> surely it doesn't resist fire, but absorbs it?
<Looking4Godot> well yeah that's the gist of it
<bugmaniacbob> caesium might be a candidate given that it burns in air
<Looking4Godot> but there is no ability
<Quanyails> Drizzle would be nice for cancelling Drought.
<Looking4Godot> who lets you resist fire (thick fat has nothing to do with metal)
<Looking4Godot> so flash fire is a more coherent choice
<bugmaniacbob> heatproof?
<Looking4Godot> in the eyes of a player
<Looking4Godot> heatproof is cool yea
<bugmaniacbob> so let's see
<FMD> Heatproof is a worse Flash Fire.
<bugmaniacbob> put flash fire down as given
<Looking4Godot> we can make heatproof the dw ability and call it a day, btw
*** imanalt [Mibbit@is.a.ralts] has joined #cap
<BaseSpeed> Heatproof is outright inferior to Flash Fire, isn't it?
<bugmaniacbob> Or we could make Flash Fire the hidden ability and make it more generous
<bugmaniacbob> yep
<Looking4Godot> either way
<bugmaniacbob> heatproof would be nice for flavour though
<BaseSpeed> So if we want an ability that gives us fire resist, everything except Drizzle is totally inferior?
<BaseSpeed> Unless we're dying for an ice resist too...
<bugmaniacbob> well, we don't technically get a resistance
<FMD> Well Flash Fire and Drizzle seem the best options.
<bugmaniacbob> it just cancels the fire weakness
<Looking4Godot> drizzle has problems
<Looking4Godot> since megazard y activates the sun AFTER you
<bugmaniacbob> drizzle seems distracting
<bugmaniacbob> given that it doesn't actually let you wall either mega
<FMD> Filter has a good use too, but it would probably still die to Y
<BaseSpeed> Mm, that is true actually
<bugmaniacbob> you still take extra damage from fire attacks even in the rain
<BaseSpeed> Drizzle wouldn't quite work
<BaseSpeed> Looking4Godot is right, Zard Y would get sun anyway
<bugmaniacbob> or, hell, abilities like flame body or magma armour for flavour
<BaseSpeed> It's gotta be Flash Fire then
<bugmaniacbob> yea
<bugmaniacbob> do we want a second competitive ability, or a flavour ability or two
<BaseSpeed> Shall we follow the standard CAP process and decide the other two abilities later?
<bugmaniacbob> seems logical
<bugmaniacbob> since they're flavour-y and all that
<bugmaniacbob> ok stats
<FMD> Bulky physical offense?
<bugmaniacbob> give us some bsr ranges, perhaps
<bugmaniacbob> I'd say very good pt and st, good ps and above average ss
*** Yveltal [Mibbit@synIRC-17DBCE61.austincc.edu] has joined #cap
<BaseSpeed> This point is where the maths makes my brain melt...
<bugmaniacbob> although perhaps excellent pt would be more suitable
<Yveltal> grrr, DHR left
<bugmaniacbob> yes if we have to rely on resistances for zard-x a higher pt seems necessary to take hits comfortably
<FMD> We need something like 100/100 special tankiness to handle the Focus Blasts
<FMD> So an ST range around that of Mew?
<bugmaniacbob> that's the higher end of very good
<bugmaniacbob> so that seems reasonable
<Looking4Godot> guys how about
<Looking4Godot> 90 hp 120 defense 10 sdef?
<Looking4Godot> this way an impish nature fuckzardmon
<bugmaniacbob> 10 SpD?
<Looking4Godot> with amx hp, 200 sdef and 56 defense
<Looking4Godot> can tank easily an +1 outrage and focus blast
<BaseSpeed> Uh...
<Looking4Godot> oops 100* sdef
<BaseSpeed> Ahaha
<BaseSpeed> That's a relief
<FMD> A +1 Dragon Claw does about the same as a Focus Blast would, so maybe the same general PT?
<Looking4Godot> Outrage 41.4 - 48.6% at +1
<Looking4Godot> while focus blast
<Looking4Godot> Focus Blast 32.5 - 38.5%
<Looking4Godot> and we're not even adding unbelievably high stats for this
<bugmaniacbob> that seems reasonable enough
<Looking4Godot> (that leaves room for attack and speed improvement)
<BaseSpeed> Can we think about the build triangle for a second?
<bugmaniacbob> ah yes
<BaseSpeed> Speed, Bulk and Offense, we're supposed to pick 2
<bugmaniacbob> personally I think bulky-powerful
<FMD> I think SpDef needs to be just a little higher than Def.
<FMD> And we can be slow.
<bugmaniacbob> really? I'd say Def > SpD
<BaseSpeed> So we sacrifice speed?
<bugmaniacbob> speed isn't really essential I don't think
<bugmaniacbob> especially when we want to beat DD zard-x
<FMD> We take more damage from Focus Blast than we do +1 Dragon Claw.
<bugmaniacbob> true, but outrage still exists
<Looking4Godot> focus blast cannot 2hko you even with stealth rocks
<Looking4Godot> and it's also unreliable
<Looking4Godot> I think that chary can be stopped this way
<BaseSpeed> If we can commit ourselves to low speed, then I think we can justify good defense and special defense
<bugmaniacbob> and as shown above could 2hko with sr if we lowered def at the expense of spD
<Looking4Godot> okay
<BaseSpeed> Oops
*** cyzir_visheen [~VCR@8D977CC.24EEA7E9.215F8AF9.IP] has quit [Ping timeout: 180 seconds]
<FMD> At +1, 90/120 at max HP still has a 2HKO chance
<Looking4Godot> there is a difference though
<BaseSpeed> Sorry, that could be confusing. By good, I didn't mean BSR terms. For that I mean very good or perhaps even excellent
<Looking4Godot> you only get a free turn
<Looking4Godot> in that turn you either dance or use outrage
<FMD> We would need to be able to OHKO Megazard X then.
<bugmaniacbob> not if we had reliable recovery
<Looking4Godot> ^
<Looking4Godot> char x is quite bulky
<Looking4Godot> nothing can ohko him
<Looking4Godot> the ebst we can do is give him over 100 abse atk
<Looking4Godot> so that we can 2hko him with stone edge
<Looking4Godot> best*
<Looking4Godot> base argh
<bugmaniacbob> there must be some way to attack zard-x without relying on stone miss
<FMD> So what recovery options are we looking at? Weather based would be great
<Looking4Godot> roost?
<bugmaniacbob> weather-based sort of defeats the point of reliable
<bugmaniacbob> and yeah roost works
<FMD> Something like Moonlight improves to 75% under the sun, so we counter Y harder.
<Looking4Godot> meh
<Looking4Godot> moonlight has low pp
<Looking4Godot> and it's weather reliant
<Looking4Godot> in other ways
<BaseSpeed> Still
<Looking4Godot> useless if you face an excatar team
<FMD> Synthesis?
<Looking4Godot> same deal
<BaseSpeed> Sun-based recovery means we don't become a monster wall to anything
<BaseSpeed> It keeps us focused
<bugmaniacbob> but we won't be a monster wall regardless
<Looking4Godot> well that's true
<Looking4Godot> but people might shy away
<Looking4Godot> for this recovery
<Looking4Godot> I mean
<FMD> And we get STAB SE against Tyranitar.
<Looking4Godot> it's pretty common
<Looking4Godot> to pair up
<Looking4Godot> charizard with exca
<Looking4Godot> and tyra
<FMD> How about we give it Recover AND Synthesis? (or similar options)
<bugmaniacbob> if we have morning sun and nothing else

<bugmaniacbob> roost + morning sun is fair
<bugmaniacbob> hallo birkal
<FMD> Excadrill can't really hurt us.
<bugmaniacbob> but to come back to the question of atk stat
<Looking4Godot> it's the sand the problem if we use only synthesis/moonlight
*** mode/#cap [+ao Birkal Birkal] by BarackObama
<Birkal> hello
<Looking4Godot> @atk we need at least base 116 atk to precisely 2hko char x without sr and evs
<bugmaniacbob> that's a fair bit
<Looking4Godot> eh...
<FMD> 100-120 gives use a good chance to quickly kill X and basically always kill Y
<BaseSpeed> 116 sounds reasonable
<bugmaniacbob> if a typical moveset is SE/roost/?/?
<bugmaniacbob> I wonder if EQ can be squeezed on somewhere
<FMD> We could throw in Head Smash. A bit reckless and suicidal, but can OHKO at just over 100 Atk
<Looking4Godot> uhm
<Looking4Godot> quakedge coverage without stab?
<bugmaniacbob> indeed
<bugmaniacbob> not recommended
<bugmaniacbob> toxic, though, might solve the problem
<Looking4Godot> maybe huh... some kind of support move like sr?
<FMD> Definitely SR
<Looking4Godot> (might get it via breeding with skarmory)
<bugmaniacbob> sr would be good regardless, if only to make the "screw zard" a little bit louder
<FMD> What are a few of Zard's most common companions?
<Looking4Godot> lemme see
<Yveltal> rapid spinners >_>
<FMD> Tyranitar was mentioned, Excadrill
<Looking4Godot> exca azuma amoonguss (stall)
<bugmaniacbob> probably latias as well
<Looking4Godot> http://sweepercalc.com/stats/ou1760.html

<bugmaniacbob> being a sitting duck for excadrill is a bad idea regardless
<bugmaniacbob> not sure what to do to avoid that
<Looking4Godot> still exca can't do much
<Looking4Godot> maybe some players will use him with rocky helmet?
<Looking4Godot> dunno
<bugmaniacbob> who?
<Looking4Godot> "fuckzardmoN"
<Yveltal> get a coverage mon with flamethrower >__>
<FMD> If we had a Fire move to synergize with Flash Fire, we could probably obliterate Excadrill
<Birkal> .log
<bugmaniacbob> except why would exca attack with anything other than rock slide
<bugmaniacbob> and yeah a fire attack should be around
<bugmaniacbob> maybe make this thing 2000kg and give it heat crash
<Yveltal> I'm super smrt
<FMD> 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Skarmory: 79-94 (20.5 - 24.4%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
<Looking4Godot> hum that wouldn't be bad
<Yveltal> ess-emm-are-tee spells smart
<Looking4Godot> it's a steel type with an high bulk after all
<bugmaniacbob> actually let me rephrase that
<bugmaniacbob> 2000kg with heat crash + stab heavy slam
<FMD> Heat Crash could be a good idea.
<Looking4Godot> lol
<FMD> Exactly
<Looking4Godot> insane
<FMD> Heat Crash / Heavy Slam / SR / recover move
<Looking4Godot> sooo the standard sets would be
<Looking4Godot> hcrash hslam roost sr/fuckzard move?
<Yveltal> fuckzard
<bugmaniacbob> I imagine hcrash and hslam would be mutually exclusive
<bugmaniacbob> but sure
<Yveltal> sounds like an awful porn involving lizard biologists
<Looking4Godot> eh steel+fire is not that great as a coverage
<Yveltal> *herpetologists
<FMD> Steel + Fire + Rock?
<bugmaniacbob> anyway weren't we talking about stats
<FMD> Herpetologist should never be used in a sexual context. Too close to herpes
<bugmaniacbob> is anyone objecting to 90 / 116 / 120 / ? / 100 / ?
<FMD> 90/116/120/x/100/y right now?

<bugmaniacbob> that's where we were before we got distracted
<FMD> Damn it Bob, stop being faster than me!

<TIBot> Rotom-Wash - Electric/Water | Levitate | 50/65/107/105/107/86 | 520 BST | OU | Low Kick/Grass Knot: 20 BP
<BaseSpeed> Avalugg is very extreme on the speed side
<bugmaniacbob> actually
<bugmaniacbob> how fast is chansey
<Looking4Godot> 50
<FMD> We could add in Gyro Ball if we expect to be slow
<bugmaniacbob> may want to be 55 then to outpace it
<Mos_Quitoxe> they're putting together an anti-volkraken
<Mos_Quitoxe> to subvert the meta
<Yveltal> oh
<Mos_Quitoxe> and bring cap down in flames
<BaseSpeed> Gyro Ball? What good will that do for beating Zard?
<bugmaniacbob> we're building a perfect charizard counter
<Yveltal> speedcapping this. fun
<FMD> I think 52 could be good.
<bugmaniacbob> or something
<Looking4Godot> gyro ball caps at 150
<Looking4Godot> while heavy slam at 120
<bugmaniacbob> we kinda got sidetracked
<Mos_Quitoxe> amounts to the same thing
<Looking4Godot> I'd say let's still add it as a coverage
<Yveltal> is there a typing already
<bugmaniacbob> 52 sounds reasonable
<FMD> It's not coverage, it's STAB
<Looking4Godot> we don't want to face something big that takes little damage from all our attacks
<FMD> Steel/Flying Flash Fire
<BaseSpeed> Yes, type and primary ability are already decided Yveltal
<jasleep> What typing are you guys working with?
<BaseSpeed> What FMD said lol
<Looking4Godot> @jasleep flying/steel with flash fire
*** jasleep is now known as jas61292
<Yveltal> lol?
<bugmaniacbob> ok so any objections to 52 Speed
<Yveltal> that sounds so generated
<Mos_Quitoxe> that's precisely what they're doing man
<Mos_Quitoxe> no flava in here
<Yveltal> make it an evil flying toaster oven
<FMD> 90/116/120/x/100/52 so far?
<Yveltal> do it
<bugmaniacbob> yeah
<Yveltal> dewww it
<FMD> Also, look at Garchomp's speed.
<Looking4Godot> 478 base stats total aye
<bugmaniacbob> SpA should just make it a round number
<BaseSpeed> There really weren't many options to make it beat both Zards
<bugmaniacbob> 37
<Looking4Godot> 32 so we end at 510?
<Quanyails> Dump stats. :U
<bugmaniacbob> well we could have done fairy but hey nobody likes fairy
<FMD> I was thinking like 52 SpAtk
<Yveltal> Quan, this is maddening
<Looking4Godot> well at least
<Quanyails> At least 50 for me.
<Mos_Quitoxe> *you* don't like fairy
<Looking4Godot> we're not spikes weak
<bugmaniacbob> I voted for fairy
<Quanyails> What is?
<Yveltal> also hi
<Quanyails> Heya.
<FMD> Maybe 57?
<Yveltal> their speedcap is sooo synthetic
<Quanyails> I don't think models need to worry about polycounts after DHR's post. :P
<bugmaniacbob> just make it 47
<bugmaniacbob> and stop there
<FMD> !data Garchomp
<Yveltal> I amended my last email to paint after reading DHR's pastebin over
<TIBot> Garchomp - Dragon/Ground | Sand Veil/Rough Skin (H) | 108/130/95/80/85/102 | 600 BST | OU | Low Kick/Grass Knot: 80 BP
<Looking4Godot> hm
<Yveltal> and honestly, I'd approve of a 12,000 poly count model that looks good
<bugmaniacbob> it's not like aerodactyl or anything in this bst ballpark has high spA
<Yveltal> but modelers have to know how to handle 12,000 polygons right, lol
<bugmaniacbob> anyway
<bugmaniacbob> let's move on to movepool shall we
<Quanyails> I have no knowledge of that stuff. D:
<FMD> If we go 90/116/120/57/100/52, that ends up at 535.
<bugmaniacbob> all right, we don't need to argue over literally the least important stat
<Quanyails> That works for me.
<Yveltal> I like starting basic and making sure that there's a lowpoly accommodated for animation
<Yveltal> and then smoothing out from there
<bugmaniacbob> moves
<Looking4Godot> it's cool 57 is still something, it's higher than skarmory, and alst gen aerodactyl with a base 60 satk could still make use for it via fire blast
<Looking4Godot> last*
<FMD> We should have Heat Crash, a few random STABs and Stone Edge for offensive options.
<bugmaniacbob> we already have heat crash, heavy slam, stone edge, roost and morning sun
<FMD> Morning Sun, Roost and SR for non-attacking
<bugmaniacbob> some flying-type and steel-type RMs would be nice
<Looking4Godot> air slash and heat wave?
<FMD> Brave Bird, perhaps?
<Looking4Godot> sure why not
<FMD> I don't think anything heavy enough for Heat Crash / Heavy Slam should be agile enough for Acrobatics.
<Yveltal> however, people should try to keep it near 7,000 polys, so it's easier to load
<bugmaniacbob> needs more drill peck
<bugmaniacbob> so we can make it into a giant flying drill
<bugmaniacbob> made of fire
<Yveltal> make it
<Looking4Godot> lol
<Yveltal> a bird with solar panel wings
<bugmaniacbob> better idea
<bugmaniacbob> steal a cawmodore design and photoshop fire onto it

<Looking4Godot> deal
<Looking4Godot> also sandstorm

<Looking4Godot> lol even skarmory learns sunny day

<bugmaniacbob> does this thing have claws
<Yilx> every gen1/gen2 mon got rain dance/sunny day fsr
<FMD> Yes
<bugmaniacbob> also should we give it Earthquake

<Yveltal> I mean why not, Batman looks fantastic in a prom dress
<Quanyails> http://oi60.tinypic.com/ftdb43.jpg <-- If I had time, I'd make the lines look prettier and hsarper.
<Quanyails> Hmm, the back of the 'collar' looks off.
<Quanyails> One moment.
<Quanyails> Oh, right, that was from me trying to make the design 'taller'.
<Yveltal> the body should be more obviously egg-shaped if that's what you're going for
<Quanyails> You wanted it to stand up, no?
<Yveltal> reposition the shoulder feathers and change the lines on the upper half of the torso so it doesn't look as off
<Yveltal> but I love that collar
<FMD> Never forget that they turned this, http://hitfanwrestlingnewz.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Rock-2013.jpg , into this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c7_UYGWKb...buHSoM/s320/et_toothfairy_091218_et_large.jpg !

<Yveltal> ???
<Yveltal> He's cute, he looks like a robot master concept :D
<Yveltal> Quanyails
<Yveltal> I kind of prefer the twister over antigravity rings and a metal coattail too, lol
<Quanyails> It's supposed to be a tornado. :P
<Yveltal> all twisters are tornados!!!
<Quanyails> Yeah.
<Eagle4> water twisters aren't
<Eagle4> http://www.toyzone.net/images/products/twister-dbzB.jpg
<Yveltal> oh yeah, those are motions in the ocean
<Yveltal> or w/ever
<FMD> All tornadoes are twisters, not al twisters are tornadoes.
<Yveltal> Pokémon are capable of using Twister, Whirlpool and Hurricane
<Yveltal> but not Tornado
<Yveltal> Y
<Yveltal> Yyyyy
<FMD> Because otherwise you'd just summon a Tornadus.


Still needs a name. Why not suggest some?
 
I came up with the name Tuncken (TON-ken), a mixture of the words Tungsten (A metal with an extremely high melting point, reflective of the immunity to fire) and Chicken (The bird I think this looks like). I would have liked to come up with something for the tornado below it, but none of the other high-melting-point metals have names that sound good with Tornado, hurricane, or tempest. (Think Temsten (Tempest Tungsten), Tantanado (Tantalum Tornado), Rhenado (Rhendium Tornado), Zurricane (Zirconium Hurricane)) So many names, but none of which are any good...

How about Tungstorm?
 
If Tungstorm is 2000 kg, then what is the height? If you don't have a height, I suggest something around 14'0", but 2000 kg is unrealistically heavy, even for a super heavyweight Pokemon, even surpassing Primal Groudon!

How about if Tungstorm were 13'9" and 1763.7 lbs (4.2m and 800kg)? It's more realistic by Pokemon standards.
 
Tungstorm sounds like a sex move, so I'm going to say no to that suggestion. Also 2000 kg is about the average weight of a car, and this is a fat, flying machine, so I think the weight makes sense if it's maybe two feet taller than a mid-size economy car.

Bear in mind, though, that despite being based on a whale and about as big as you'd expect a whale to be, Wailord doesn't even reach 400 kg. So you're suggesting that this fat, flying machine is heavier than five whale-based, whale-sized Pokemon.

Sure, you could say that Wailord should be heavier, but if Pokemon weights are going to be wrong compared to real-life ones, we can at least make them consistently wrong.
