Metagame CAP 1v1 - Moveset Submissions [MrDollSteak promoted to co-lead!]

[MrDollSteak]

Here are all of the new sets to reflect the changes to Pyroak and the addition of Venomicon.

Venomicon @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Hurricane
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power
- Roost

This will realistically need tweaks to the EVs but the main idea is to beat physical attackers by roosting, and Special attackers with its coverage (if it survives a OHKO)

Venomicon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hurricane
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power
- Mystical Fire

The exact balance of SpD and SpA will realistically need to be tweaked but the higher SpA definitely helps against Revenankh and Snaelstrom.

Venomicon-Epilogue @ Vile Vial
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Gunk Shot
- Coil
- Taunt

Aim is to either boost up with a Coil, Taunt a slow defender or just shred with Brave Bird.

Pyroak @ Choice Specs
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 248 HP / 124 SpA / 132 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse / Flash Cannon

With Overheat now boosting SpA there's no need for Fire Blast, and instead Dragon Pulse / Flash Cannon can be run for Miasmaw, Pajantom or Kerfluffle respectively. Not particularly important.

Pyroak @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 248 HP / 32 SpA / 228 Spe
Timid Nature
- Overheat
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse / Flash Cannon

A Scarf set is now possible with Contrary, being able to take advantage of Overheat to realistically 2HKO most things.

Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Aura Sphere
- Heat Wave
- Hyper Beam

Draco Meteor's accuracy hurts this set's potential a fair bit. I think the Snaelstrom set can possibly PP Stall you if it gets lucky, so I didn't include it here. The Speed allows it to outspeed Specs Tomohawk. Loses to all Volkraken, which is kinda funny. Also loses to some stuff like CB Rev, Pyroak, Mollux, Krilowatt. I think it strikes the balance of winning vs enough that its viable without beating too many things it unfairly MU's against you most of the time.

Ideas I have


Voodoom @ Leftovers
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe
Jolly / Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Tearful Look
- Drain Punch / Dark Pulse
- Rest

Taunt Voodoom is a seriously good bait against Taunt abusers trying to abuse a choice-locked Voodoom, such as Tomo and Fidgit. You need near max speed for Kril, which you live two Surfs from after Leftovers. I personally think Drain Punch facilitiates stalling better, but Timid nature with Dark Pulse is also viable I imagine.


Arghonaut @ Black Belt
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Yawn
- Protect
- Focus Punch
- Knock Off

Something suggested Yawn Argh in this already but no one liked it. I did :(. Speed + Knock is for Nect.


Necturna (F) @ Power Herb
Ability: Forewarn
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Geomancy
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Psychic

Geomancy set, Modest so that +2 Psychic is a better roll on the offensive Mollux.


Smokomodo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 200 HP / 252 SpA / 56 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Overheat
- Earth Power
- Blast Burn

Watch this:
0- Atk Snaelstrom Rapid Spin vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Smokomodo: 43-51 (11.7 - 13.8%) -- possible 8HKO
0 SpA Snaelstrom Water Pulse vs. 200 HP / 0 SpD Smokomodo: 268-316 (73 - 86.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

The max of these is 99.9%, but with 56 Speed you hit 244, which is 1 point higher than 0 speed Snael after Rapid Spin's +1 :)

YO i've been getting into Cap 1v1 and here are some ideas I made on stream with others!


BPRESS VENOM (Venomicon) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
- Acid Armor
- Roost
- Body Press
- Sludge Bomb / Mystical Fire

basically beats a fuckton of physical attackers, sludge bomb/mystical fire is a cute slash to beat different things! Pretty self explanatory

AV CONDA (Malaconda) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Payback
- Sucker Punch
- Power Whip
- Knock Off

Shoutouts Brambane for this hot idea that we looked into. So max Spdef actually gets insane rolls vs notable mons, beating Specs Kerfluffle by eating 2 moonblasts, and clicking power whip twice, as long as a bunch of other Pokemon like Volkraken and Plasmanta!!! Scarf Malaconda is asscheeks and Malaconda is asscheeks in general and I think this helps bring some versatility and viability to Malaconda in CAP 1v1! Also would be the first addition of Assault Vest!


SPORE (Necturna) (F) @ Custap Berry
Ability: Forewarn
EVs: 36 HP / 252 SpA / 220 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Endure
- Spore
- Leaf Storm
- Hex

I know Spore Necturna was taken out, but it was substitute and not custap! I think Endure Custap brings a lot of outplay potential and some 50/50's which is cool. Brambane told me 220 outspeeds some notable things I honestly forgot what lol. But yeah this set is sick because it utilizes Necturna on the special side and hex's things when they are asleep! Would be a cool addition with clear answers


SPECS VIKING BOAT (Naviathan) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Heatproof
EVs: 176 SpA / 80 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Flash Cannon
- Hurricane
- Scald

bruh i was tryna make a cool scarf set but NO THE GIANT ASS VIKING BOAT DINOSAUR DOESN'T GET EARTHQUAKE TO HIT PLASMANTA. wfkja ,mads

anyway I think having no naviathan that outpaces Collossoil is a mistake, I think we should reintroduce a choice specs set! The spdef is for living specs Pyroak overheat, so you can 2hko it with hurricane! Also navaithan dropping to band superpower without having a chance to speedtie and kill Smokomodo is yikes!


DOUBLE DANCIN DINO (Naviathan) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Heatproof
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Iron Defense
- Slack Off
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall / Heavy Slam

Aight i know it says you removed double dance navaithan and idk if it was this exact set, but I really think Naviathans versatility should be flexed in CAP 1v1, this is a really cool set that beats a lot of physical threats, including stuff like Revenanhk and Arghonaut! Waterfall / Heavy Slam slash is notable because heavy slam allows you to not be as much crit bait vs things like Band/Scarf Pajantom, but waterfall helps you reliably smack Smokomodo!

Excited for the CAP 1v1 No Johns tour! CAP and 1v1 in general are hype af 8)

yo also MrDollSteak wtf do the ev's on ur DD naviathan do we cannot find anything useful for ur spdef

 

[MrDollSteak]

An important tweak here - Pyroak doesn't get access to Acid Armor.

Pyroak @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Amnesia
- Iron Defense
- Lava Plume
- Synthesis / Rest

Will address the new sets soon and update the compendium.

 

[Fifty Shades of Rez]

hey, it's me again with my Physical Pyroak Set

Pyroak @ Expert Belt
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 248 HP / 128 Atk / 132 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Wood Hammer
- Flare Blitz

Remember suffering at the hands of Chromera, Astrolotl and Naviathan?
well say no more, because it's time to change the score!

Chromera MU: until now, Chromera easily walled the specs variant in its tracks, by Color Changing into a Fire type and thus set up calm minds freely even as Overheat raised your Sp.A, but with the physical Expert belt set, that won't happen! If you throw a WoodHammer at 'em, not only will it turn the lion into a Grass type, but set up for a free K.O. with flare blitz! once you hit with Wood Hammer, SludgeBomb loses its STAB:
0 SpA Chromera Sludge Bomb vs. 248 HP / 132 SpD Pyroak: 138-164 (31.1 - 37%) -- 74.4% chance to 3HKO
Assuming the Chromera went for a Calm Mind, you could grab a swords dance, and a free victory accompanied by a fresh dish of steaming-hot lion stew.

Naviathan MU: as we all know, Naviathan does not care one bit for Pyroak, easily stuffing even Overheat, setting up Dragon Dances and hitting for huge swaths of damage with Waterfall and even flinching. the Belt set takes the boat dinosaur and commits a Titanic remake:
124+ Atk Pyroak Wood Hammer vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Naviathan: 135-160 (33 - 39.1%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO
124+ Atk Expert Belt Pyroak Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Naviathan: 182-216 (44.4 - 52.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 108+ Atk Naviathan Giga Impact vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Pyroak: 204-240 (46 - 54.1%) -- 53.1% chance to 2HKO
You could try aiming for a Swords Dance to just annihilate Naviathan by sheer Woodpower, too:
+2 124+ Atk Pyroak Wood Hammer vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Naviathan: 271-319 (66.2 - 77.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I'd like to thank KingRion for helping me with the calcs, EVs and moveset choices.

 

[LRXC]

As your current CAP 1v1 Champion, I present a set.

Also yes please add the sets me and KingRion they are HOT HOT HOT

Scarf (Colossoil) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 244 Atk / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Rock Slide

I think Colossoil deserves some set variety, the fact that it loses to all 3 smokomodo sets (scarf storm throw is a roll in smokomodo's favor) is kinda ass cheeks for a ground type mon, and I like that this allows colossoil to outplay Syclant, guarantee chople stratagem, rolls voodoom, aurumoth, and scarf volkraken!

While I don't like the oversaturation of choice sets, and please MrDollSteak add some of the great non choiced sets people have suggested, I think this set is simple and cool 8)

All non 252/252 EVs have reasoning behind them, mostly speed tier/living something important. Editing in sets with changelog.

SPECIAL THANKS: spoo, lrxc, rez

Changelog 4/1/22:
-Removed Shuca Naviathan and replaced it with Metal Sound, similar to my cawm set
-Added Slashes to some movesets to give a bit more variation
-Added Petaya Voodoom

Done making sets for now most likely, will let someone else carry the torch for a little while. My personal suggestions on mons to check out:
-Jumbao
-Plasmanta
-Pajantom
-Tomohawk
-Equilibra
