Yea, I'm just going to reiterate that this thing should not get any Ice / Fighting / Rock / Ground moves stronger than 80 BP (I would argue even lower, but it isn't a huge deal at these lower BPs).
Why? Cause its checks / counters, namely Togekiss, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl, Crobat, Zapdos, general Fires and the like would like to remain checks / counters.
When viewing this Pokemon, I draw the Cresselia analogy.
Cresselia as a BST of 120 HP / 70 Atk / 120 Def / 75 SpA / 130 SpD / 85 Spe
Putting Cresselia into X-Act's Stat analyzer, we get that it is Average offensively on both sides, and Amazing (Rank 7) defensively on both sides. It's overall rating is 837, or Fantastic.
Our Pokemon has a BST of 120 HP / 70 Atk / 105 Def / 95 SpA / 90 SpD / 60 Spe
Putting our Pokemon into that same analyzer, we get that it is below Average on the physically offensive side, Average on specially offensive side, Extremely Good (Rank 5) on physically defensive side, and Very Good (Rank 4) on the specially defensive side. It's overall rating is 394, or Very Good.
The reason I choose Cresselia I figure our Pokemon will be utilized as a viable mixed wall in OU, and I figured I would try to use the most viable mixed wall, Cresselia (I don't count Bronzong simply because most people generally focus one side and the other side is merely bulky, not "wall" capable).
If we look at this from a stats point of view, Cresselia is clearly superior in every facet except for Special Attack.
When it comes to abilities, I recognize that Levitate serves a different purpose than both Battle Armor and Rock Head, but I really have to give Levitate the upper hand here simply because comon, Levitate does so much more for Cresselia (Spikes / Toxic Spikes Immunity, Ground immunity) than Battle Armor (a "hax" preventer, which on average is useless) and Rock Head (physical sets won't be common and this thing has 444 HP potentially to not really give two hoots about recoil). So, in terms of Ability, I once again have to give Cresselia the upper hand.
Where this Pokemon truly shines over Cresselia is in its typing. Fire / Grass and Psychic shouldn't really be compared defensively since they are both pretty average defensive typings (though with Levitate, the Psychic typing does get a resist to Fighting and an immunity to Ground, two of the most common offensive attacks, so I would give Cresselia a slight advantage in terms of defensive typing), but offensively, Fire / Grass STAB is much superior to Psychic STAB. Our Pokemon's type > Cresselia's type.
So far we have that Cresselia is superior statistically in every way besides Special Attack, that Cresselia has a more useful Ability, Cresselia's defensive typing is slightly superior, and our Pokemon's offensive typing is definitely superior.
So now we'll transition into move pool. Various individuals, such as Lil Ant and Latinoheat, have lamented that on the current path our Pokemon is taking, it will be broken. Well, from what I can tell with the stats, Ability and typing, Cresselia is a more useful Pokemon than ours. And Cresselia is in no way broken, barely maintaining its top 20 (#19) spot on Shoddy's official server.
So this would mean, obviously, that those lamenting its "broken" potential must be referring to its potential move pool.
In the only stat where Cresselia was inferior to our Pokemon, Special Attack, Cresselia is able to boost it with Charge Beam / Calm Mind. If we do not give this thing either (as most of the experienced battlers seem to be agreeing on), then Cresselia would technically get the nod over our Pokemon in terms of special attacking Power.
So now we REALLY have to focus on the rest of this Pokemon's move pool, to see if it somehow is more broken than Cresselia. I don't see its STAB offensive moves making it excessively broken...I mean Grass / Fire, while SE and neutral on a lot, is still resisted by Dragons, Fires and plenty of Flying types.
So now where would this "broken" factor come in? It would have to come in either with its non STAB offensive attacks or its support moves.
I've already stated that Togekiss / Tentacruel / Aerodactyl / Crobat / Zapdos / Tyranitar / Fires in general are decent counters / checks against this thing.
What could potentially make this broken is for it to get physical Ground or Rock moves, like Earthquake or Stone Edge, that would make Togekiss, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl, Crobat, Zapdos, and Fires in general no longer those checks / counters...Wow, two physical moves, and this pretty much beats 95% of its counters. I tend to agree with Doug in that theorymon is essentially useless in determining the broken factor of a Pokemon, yet in extreme cases I believe we can use the benefit of the doubt.
Please guys, I beg you, no powerful Ice / Fighting / Rock / Ground moves for this thing. I'm not saying it will be broken in general terms, I am saying that its potential checks / counters will be crying if it gets those moves, especially Ground / Rock / Fighting (Tyranitar).
Sooooo, now we get to support. Think about how flimsy theorymon is for direct attacking moves...can we honestly claim we can make anything other than a very weak guess regarding a Pokemon's broken factor with support moves? The only moves that might be able to be theorized effectively with are the stat buffing moves. I am ardently against Nasty Plot / Tail Glow / Calm Mind / Bulk Up / Curse / Charge Beam, pretty against Swords Dance but willing to debate, and totally up for Howl. I was against Growth, but then I realized that without a subsequent defensive boost, it isn't too bad. I think we've stated enough in previous topics as to why Nasty Plot / Tail Glow / Calm Mind are definite no nos, but if anyone wants a little reiteration I'll be willing to go into detail then.
But besides the stat buffing moves, how can we honestly claim that we can make an even halfway decent guess regarding the rest of the moves? Spore aside, support moves like Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Will-o-wisp, Leech Seed, Synthesis, Reflect and Light Screen are all viable, and I think should remain on this.
Remember, we have the ability to remove something if it is broken during the testing phase. Obviously this doesn't mean that we will purposefully create a broken Pokemon, but when it comes to support moves, I really have a hard time substantiating the claim that an individual can effectively guess that it will be broken.
And this all circles back to my initial comparison with Cresselia. Please guys, no more claims that this is excessively broken.
With Calm Mind and Levitate, Cresselia has clearly superior stats and clearly superior defensive typing.
Our guy has a clearly superior offensive typing that is only backed by a 95 SpA that won't be getting boosted (hopefully) by Calm Mind or Charge Beam, and I guess it has the cool Leech Seed + Fire STAB combination. Do those advantages make this so much more broken than Cresselia? I don't think so.
Since this obviously isn't more broken than Cresselia, and since it is VERY difficult to effectively predict how broken support moves might be, I say we be pretty liberal with dishing out support moves. I was initially against Sleep Powder, but I can't earnestly say I have a strong argument against it, and therefore I am more than willing to try it out.
SUMMARY:
1.) This Pokemon is inferior to Cresselia in stats and Ability, and to merely tie Cresselia in terms of usefulness, has to take advantage of its offensive STAB and support options.
2.) This hopefully is not getting a way to boost its Special attack, and is hopefully not going to get Ground / Rock moves so that it still has counters.
3.) Therefore, let us be very liberal with support options. By very liberal, I mean VERY liberal, with only eliminating certain stat buffing moves and Spore.
