    CAP 34 - Part 10 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    First, I want to apologize. You’re right, I was being needlessly hostile. I disagreed with your outlook on priority in the current metagame but my language was out of place. However, I do want to push back on the quoted statement. Brambane and others have said a few times now that CAP 34’s big...

    CAP 34 - Part 10 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    Dragon/Poison does not resist Normal (Dragonite Extreme Speed) or Dark (Kingambit Sucker Punch) and is frail enough to be threatened by Electric (Raging Bolt Thunderclap) and the weaker Steel (Scizor Bullet Punch). It’s even weak to Ice (Weavile Ice Shard)! I'm curious what you consider to be...

    CAP 34 - Part 10 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    This is not as big of a factor as you are making it out to be. In many cases, CAP 34 is going to act as a coup de gras and kept in the back similar to a Volcarona or a Kingambit. At that point, you now have to play around both powerful options, meaning that the announcement only really has an...

    CAP 34 - Part 10 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    Quick note, this was actually a bug on PS until around a year ago when it got patched. Magician is not supposed to proc on the same interaction Eject Pack procs. This would've been cool with Clanging Scales, though! Alas, it doesn't work anymore.

    CAP34 - Part 11 - Prevo # Discussion

    Two or Zero I can see a whole range of comparisons to be made for CAP 34, but the best ones I can make for myself are to Haxorus, which would suggest two prevos, or Drampa, which would suggest zero prevos. I think I favor two but both options should be up to vote.

    CAP 34 - Part 10 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    I think this is a really great question that I can (hopefully) provide a really great answer to. As someone who often pines for more powerful options in CAP, I can understand the logic behind this question, but more is not always better. Let me explain: CAP has often faced issues of "bloat" in...

    Social Where did you heard of Smogon from

    Like many people, I got locked on PS and needed an account at the time to appeal said lock. I would not be surprised if one of Smogon’s largest membership drivers was PS locks.

    Hail is fine, it'll always be a B to B- ish playstyle. Arctozolt was all the rage at one point, but after people adapted their playstyles to it, it is more of just a nice bring if you think your opponent is weak to it. Dracozolt, on the other hand, has not aged gracefully. At the onset of DLC2...
