Here is the current Stat Bias and Rating section of the CAP Process guide. It needs to be restructured and rewritten in places.
- As a result of [thread=72499]this thread[/thread], the stat bias step is being converted into a combined Stat and Movepool Limit Discussion
- The new combined step needs to be described
- All the movepool limit stuff needs to be added (well-formatted tables would be nice)
- DougJustDoug will need to rename the page in SCMS, but anyone can write it up and format it

Stat Bias and Rating
[page]
<h2>Stat Bias</h2>
<p>This is where we determine the general stat bias of the Pokémon, from an offensive and defensive standpoint. We also will set limits on the stat spreads that support those biases. It should be noted that Stat Biases are not just for limiting stats, but also helps shape the general "feel" of the Pokémon. The Stat Biases may influence other parts of the Pokémon -- such as art, movepool, ability, etc. However, the stat spread is the only part of the project that will be specifically constrained by Stat Biases. </p>
<p>The Stat Biases are not formally voted on by the community. The community will get their "final say" on stats when they vote on actual stat spreads later. This step of the process is where the community voices their opinions and arguments to the Topic Leader. At the end of the discussion thread, a range of Stat Biases will be selected by the TL.</p>
<p>There will be four stat biases selected and a total BSR limit. The Stat Biases are:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Physical Tankiness (PT)</b> - The rating of the Pokémon's physical defense</li>
<li><b>Physical Sweepiness (PS)</b> - The rating of the Pokémon's physical offense</li>
<li><b>Special Tankiness (ST)</b> - The rating of the Pokémon's special defense</li>
<li><b>Special Sweepiness (SS)</b> - The rating of the Pokémon's special offense</li>
</ul>
<p>An application for calculating the biases can be found <a href="http://users.smogon.com/X-Act/BaseStatsRatings.html">here</a> and the formulae themselves can be found <a href="/forums/showthread.php?t=64133">here</a>.</p>
<p>For each individual bias, a named range will be specified by the TL. The named ranges are:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Below Average:</b> 0-80</li>
<li><b>Average:</b> 81-99</li>
<li><b>Above Average:</b> 100-149</li>
<li><b>High:</b> 150-Infinity</li>
</ul>
At the conclusion of that thread, the TL will post range for each bias and BSR and close the thread. After that, the stat spread creators can go to work making spreads that conform to the limits.</p>

<h2>Stat Rating</h2>
<p>This measure determines the desired overall "power level" of the Pokémon's base stats. In the past, the Base Stat Total (BST) was used to measure the power of base statistics. Since BST is a very poor measurement for stat power, the CAP project now uses Base Stats Rating (BSR) to determine the overall effectiveness of a Pokémon's base stats. The results are more useful and relevant to the relative power of a created Pokémon's stats. The Base Stats Rating is determined by a formula created by X-Act. The TL will choose the BSR range of the Pokémon.</p>
<p>The BSR of a Pokémon is divided into 12 different categories, ranging from the Exaggerated rating of Arceus and other Ubers, to the Horrible rating of Pokémon like Unown, and most baby Pokémon. </p>
