I tend to agree with all of the sentiment against Bug-type coverage. It adds unnecessary power moves that only serve to ravage Hydreigon more-so than it should be able. Furthermore, they just don't bring anything to the table that we actually want. For this reason, Bug-type coverage to disallowed. I am also disallowing all Dragon-type moves for the same reasoning. I've also disallowed Volt Switch and U-turn; I think they distract from our goal of studying Sketch and do not introduce any variables that support new applications of Sketch.
Following a few discussions on IRC as well as some mention of it here, I think I will allow Sucker Punch and Pursuit. Both of these moves, quite frankly, suck on CAP 2. Without STAB and even with 120 Atk, they're just not very impressive in when they would be useful. As a Ghost-type, CAP 2 has problems 'scaring away' other Ghosts or even Psychics, since they can just abuse CAP 2. In lieu of this, I've allowed Pursuit and Sucker Punch.
I moved Electric- and Ice-type coverage to the discussion front. I'd like to see what people think about this sort of coverage. I currently believe that its added coverage CAP 2 neither needs nor wants, and would only serve to distract further from the concept than we want. Sketch is really ideally situated with our STABs, and adding BoltBeam messes that up. Let's see what you guys think, though.
(Fwiw, I have already disallowed Hurricane, Blizzard, and Thunder because I agree that CAP 2 should not be abusing weather heavily)
