    Tournament CAPPL X - Policy Discussion

    Okay so here's the format: Tiers: SV1 / SV2 / SV3 / SS / SM / ORAS / BW / DPP Teams: 8 total teams, no Retains Auction: 120,000 points, Manager self-buys 15k each Additionally, although we won't be having retains, we are looking to establish proper franchises from here on out. So if there's...

    Tournament CAPPL X - Policy Discussion

    Personally I find this tour to be ground for a "final exam" on DPP and to an extent BW: if these metas can't find signficant playerbase support due to disatisfaction with the tier, or devise a path forward to refine their metagame during and after CAPPL X to remedy this, it'd be a clear sign...

    Tournament CAPPL X - Policy Discussion

    I feel there's more to be said about the positions of DPP and BW in the format, given CAPPL is generally more competitively-driven compared to CL. The prospect of a forum banner, should we increase to 8 slots, will additionally drive in new players and encourage existing ones to put forward...

    CAP34 - Part 7 - Stat Spread Submissions

    Okay, the real, finalized slate is here. This was a tough list to make with many spreads being very close to making it on (as you can tell), but all of these are choices am I very comfortable with. Agile Turtle HP Atk Def SpA SpD Spe BST PS SS PT ST BSR 109 72 81 115 47 111 535 94.97...

    yo, preliminary slate Brambane 45 43 117 120 110 115 550 67.11 147.94 90.79 86.63 589.55 Brambane's spread looks to maximize our bulk within limits to grant 34 as many setup opportunities as possible, while leaving it with a Speed stat that lets various fast Pokemon scare us out even...

    CAP34 - Part 7 - Stat Spread Submissions

    Sorry about the delay everyone, unfortunately I have not gotten paid for mining usage stats and have to keep a real job, so I'll be brief. Stats submissions time. I know many of you have gotten a headstart already and are eager to post the whole thought process on forums. If you ever need a...

    CAP 34 - Part 6 - Stat Limits Discussion

    It's not been too long by now but consensus seems to have drawn towards the following: BSR is too high for any spread to really approach SS feels too low for faster spreads to work with PT + ST seems like a good idea to ensure balanced bulk, but needs better tuning to be a worthwhile idea...

    CAP 34 - Part 6 - Stat Limits Discussion

    Solid discussion everyone, here's what I've gathered so far: –Speed is integral to our success not only in letting us threaten the opponent after a boost, but securing that boost in the first place because of how Clangerous Soul works (not enough HP = no activation!). Although users don't agree...

    CAP 34 - Part 6 - Stat Limits Discussion

    Hello all, I'm happy to announce that my body finally decided to stop being sick, just in time for us to delve into the Stats section of 34's process! To start, we need to work out our stat limits to help guide users towards submitting balanced yet effective stats spreads. Do not submit any stat...
