CAP 35 So far

-----

Hello,

Today we're going to be voting on which stat spread to give to CAP 35. Here are the explanations Brambane, our Section Leader for this stage, has provided for each of the options in their final slate.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
dex	120	51	105	66	123	68	533	51.94	69.12	136.90	157.62	543.30

Assumed moves: Volt Switch
dex proposes a spread with fantastic mixed bulk and a useful Speed benchmark over Venomicon, Corviknight, and Alomomola. It can survive hits like Iron Valiant Close Combat, as a testament to its physical bulk, with just enough Special Attack to retaliate using Electromorphosis for a potential KO against the -1 Special Defense Iron Valiant. This is the main trend of this spread; focus on mixed bulk, with just enough power to respond with force of its Electric STAB. The lower Special Attack afforded this spread its fantastic bulk, and it definitely fits a wall of our typing.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
kenn	71	71	90	93	148	87	560	77.53	102.55	88.96	137.80	539.77

Assumed moves: Super Fang
kenn’s 87 Speed with 4 EVs in Speed is the real standout here, just enough to outspeed a paralyzed Dragapult. This gave the spread the edge over the other spreads operating in the 80s for Speed. It’s bulk is notably worse than the other spreads, again focusing more on leveraging the effectiveness of paralysis for Speed control. This spread was probably the most offensive I was comfortable slating., with passable Speed and Special Attack. The large Special Defense stat pulls it back into walling territory, even with only 71 HP. The downside of its offensive profile and Special Defense is relatively poor physical bulk, just enough to avoid the 2HKO from MixPult’s Dragon Darts.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
TheDuckChris	112	50	97	65	116	85	525	61.62	78.25	122.53	143.48	537.36

Assumed moves: Super Fang
TheDuckChris brings out another decently fast spread, but this one packs less power and way more physical bulk. Compared to the previous two, it lives somewhat in the middle: lower offenses, good (for a wall) Speed, and great but not incredible mixed bulk. It is a balanced spread, with enough of everything but nothing truly amazing. It has the Speed to hit some key paralysis benchmarks with investment, such as Zamazenta and Dragapult.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
Pipotchi	73	115	111	100	142	39	580	82.78	78.39	107.96	134.69	532.50

Assumed moves: Super Fang, Volt Switch
Pipotchi brings a slow spread to the table with a mighty 115 Attack. This is a unique take on the idea, focusing on Knock Off and Ice Spinner damage. These is merit to a higher Attack for Pokemon like Slowking and Ice Spinner being more targeted than Ice Beam. The spread’s decent base 100 Special Attack further justifies the low Speed. Good offenses don’t limit defensive potential here; a 73/111/142 bulk profile reinforces that this CAP is a wall.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
Amamama	136	73	81	90	98	56	534	63.42	81.03	119.33	140.53	531.49

Assumed moves: Ice Beam, Glare
Amamama focuses on mixed bulk with enough Speed to outpace a paralyzed Timid Gholdengo. The high HP elevates the overall defensive profile of the spread and its lower Special Attack and overall BSR is intentional: this was a spread designed around Glare and Ice Beam for coverage. Considering the power of Electric and Ice coverage in general, especially when you can Knock Off and Glare the Ground-types for even more progress, this spreads overall weaker stat profile balances the scales.

Username	HP	Atk	Def	SpAtk	SpDef	Spe	BST	PS	SS	PT	ST	BSR
Dogfish44	100	29	80	87	180	29	505	25.81	66.37	97.36	198.16	538.09

Assumed moves: Volt Switch, Glare
Dogfish44 delivers the slowest spread by far, but no other spread goes all-in on Special Defense like this one. With a solid base 100 HP and marvelous 180 Special Defense, it can weather even boosted +2 Chuggalong and +6 Make It Rain’s from Gholdengo. It’s Defense is enough to handle MixPult, and the low Speed has interesting applications with Volt Switch. Only 87 Special Attack and the abysmal Speed limit it offensively a great deal, but a fair exchange for this much defensive resilience.
