Required - All movepools, without exception, must contain all of these moves.Having difficulties with your movepool?
This was supposed to be a beta and isn't actually going to be finalised until the VGM updates are finished, but this little applet should be useful if you're struggling to build a movepool or don't want to keep counting VGMs.
Movepool Builder (beta)
Can't guarantee it will work properly, but I've tried it and haven't had any problems yet, for what it's worth. Helps more with cross-referencing than it does with actually building a movepool since you still have to enter everything manually...

Below is CAP 4 so far:
Name: Aurumoth
Name: Risky Business
(formerly "Living On the Edge")
General Description: This Pokémon is very risky to play, but very rewarding if played correctly.
Justification: Many of the Pokémon that are successful in OU are relatively easy to play or have great "safe" options (e.g. U-turn). Yet, many other Pokémon look very powerful, but are less successful than they could be because of some large risks involved (e.g. Hydreigon), and some aren't successful at all (e.g. Honchkrow). This self-balancing concept intends to explore what it takes for a risky Pokémon to be successful, and how much inherent risk a Pokémon can get away with. It should be emphasized that this concept is NOT about luck management, but rather, it is about what the user can afford to do given his/her opponent's options, and vice versa.
Questions To Be Answered:
- What is the relationship between risk and potential consequences, both positive and negative?
- What kinds of inherently risky tactics are successful in the OU metagame?
- Do risky Pokémon need some form of safe options (e.g. switch-ins) to be successful in OU, or can it get away with having few really safe options?
- How does Substitute, a well-known "safe" move with nearly universal distribution, impact how this Pokémon is built and played?
- How do existing Pokémon use and deal with risky situations?
- Can risky Pokémon be played well in the early game, or are they better off put into action later on?
- How do different playstyles interact with risky situations?
