    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    As smarter people than I elaborated on torch song, it seems to end up being pointless. No reason to have a third signature move that ends up doing nothing. Stored Power is very interesting, with a set like sludge wave/stored power/fire blast/clangorous soul being very alluring, and it has the...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    We do, and that's why torch song has been shot down multiple times. It's officially received it's death when we said SpA boosting has been denied but I love to yap so here I go Torch song on its own invalidates Throat spray because instead of our boost coming from a one time consumable it...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    In terms of coverage, considering our role leans towards late game cleaner, we'll probably want the strongest coverage possible, meaning well want Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, or Focus Blast. Having utility in our coverage isn't in our best interest because those options are generally weak and we'll...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    It's very easy to get frustrated with the choices That have been made (spoo personally ripped the prospects of my beautiful no-guard thunder blizzard focus blast clangorous souls electric fighting type from me and they cackled like a witch while they did it) we can only work with what we have...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    So our coverage is between fire, fighting,and water. Out of these, fighting is the most enticing in paper for hitting gambit for 4x, as well as ting lu and Libra. However, our coverage is limited to either a really inaccurate move or a mildly weak move. Water coverage forgoes hitting Gambit for...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    I was very opposed to soul at the beginning of the process, but go go gadget omniboost has grown on me somewhat. Firstly, it's not brainless like I originally thought. Heightened defenses seem big but when you're at 67% HP, you still have to be careful about when and where you choose to set up...

    CAP 34 - Part 5 - Defining Moves 2

    1-Assuming we have Clanging Scales/Clangorous Soul, the best thing we can have is stronger versions of the coverage moves listed in the first defining moves. Because we already have a viable way to proc throat spray consistently, we would be better off using Thunderbolt or Hydro Pump instead of...

    CAP 34 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Berserk and Anger Shell have gotten little discussion because they deserve little discussion. As posts above me have detailed further, their benefits are not worth taking the required chip and lack of control we have over them. Supreme Overload is definitely an option, and while it's not my...

    CAP 34 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    You could, but you deal ~23% less damage and thus can't break thru ting lu at all and do chip to argh. We could also not give it dragon pulse but that is a bit fraudulent

    CAP 34 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    I'm going to go against the grain here and say Simple + Clangorous Soul isn't as broken as we think, providing we have Clanging Scales. Firstly, the -2 Def really encourages we use our weaker poison stab to avoid defense drops, but even at +4 you won't be able to muscle through venom, and steels...

    CAP 34 - Part 4 - Primary Ability Discussion

    Psychic Surge should be considered with extreme caution, not because of its implications for CAP34, but because of its implications on the metagame as a whole. There hasn't been a good Psychic Surge setter this generation and introducing one could potentially have large ramifications to the...
