Damn... should I change it around slightly or just leave it?
Same Special Defense as Heracross, Porygon-2, Vaporeon, and Magmortar. This allows it to take hits from the special side as well as on the physical side, and softens the blow from Ice Beams.
There's my (hopefully) final spread. If Sunday PM's me asking me for a spread, this is what I'll give him, unless someone gives me some feedback. Start rating!This right here is the most important part of the spread. Now, you may be thinking that stats not divisible by 5 are fanboyish and cheezy. However, there is a very good reason for this. Infernape is Base 108. This will completely outspeed Infernape given 232 Evs, and all Base 105s along with it. This ability comes with a price however. Even with max speed, it will NEVER be able to outspeed base 110s. That is what saves it from being broken, because it can never touch Gengar. Its useful, but its not like Syclant's 121, where it ALWAYS outspeeds Base 120s.
The spread for Deoxys-S (50/95/90/95/90/180) has 600 BST and 352 Stat Rating (Very Good). So yeah, it's quite easy to come up with a 600 BST spread that is 'Very Good'.Can you come up with a spread in the Very Good range with 600 BST?
Even though you said this isn't a challenge, I'll still do just for the laughs.Can you come up with a spread in the Very Good range with 600 BST?
Really good with a lot of thought put into it, but a bit too specialized. We want this to have the least amount of odd numbers.So while this thing would be very effective, it's unpractible, and annoying to input for stats. Other then that, it's goodI seem to be a bit late to the party, but I've been screwing around with X-Act's Base Stat Rater and the Damage Calculator for hours now and I think I've come up with something really cool. If anybody likes it, they can use it as a reference when deciding on what to vote for.
100 HP is the minimum HP required to make 101 HP Substitutes.
76 Atk is the minimum Atk required to OHKO a standard Choice Specs Heatran with Earthquake.
102 Def is the minimum Def required to survive a Dragon Dance'd Life Orb'd Earthquake from an Adamant Tyranitar.
83 SpD is the minimum SpD required to survive a Calm Mind'd Psychic from Celebi or an Expert Belt'd Psychic from a Mixed Attacker Deoxys-S.
110 Speed seems to be the most popular speed tier to put this Pokemon in.
Raise the Atk to the nearest five, giving it enough Atk to 2HKO Garchomp with Ice Punch, even if it has Leftovers, and give it 80 SpA, enough to 2HKO most Grass types with Sludge Bomb, and you've got:
If you like it, vote for the closest thing! :)
Thanks! :)That's an awsome spread
What are you talking about? With the exceptions of a +2 to Def and a -2 to SpD, everything's divisible by five!Really good with a lot of thought put into it, but a bit too specialized. We want this to have the least amount of odd numbers.So while this thing would be very effective, it's unpractible, and annoying to input for stats. Other then that, it's good
Too bad that assuption falls flat on its face when you consider that every top tier OU pokemon outside of those with a ridiculously low unused offensive stat all seem to have one thing in common: High BST.You are still reasoning as if BST still is an indicator of how good the stats of a pokémon are. And it is not. The stat ratings offer a much more accurate depiction of the power of a spread. So, considering that, as long as the spread is within the voted stat rating, everything is fair game.
As a community that praises itself in understanding the pokémon metagame better than anyone, we shouldn't be bothered by the commentaries of those who disregard high BSTs without looking at the spread itself. The "BST = power" argument shows the same mentality as the "legendary = uber" one. Both part from assumptions that are generally wrong.
This didn't happen, and people like their own creations way too much to simply steal anyone else's and call it a day. Plus it would be blatantly obvious, since you have to explain your spread. And in the end, you wouldn't get any credit for it, because you simply took someone else's.Solely using BSR without some level of ridicule for puffed up BSTs allows you to hijack another persons stat spread, add a few points here and there, and supplant their effort when it comes time to vote. Only an individual users' sense of fairness stops them from bastardizing a 351 Overall Rating you worked hard to create the stats for by adding a few points here and there to make an objectively better spread within the selected parameters. If we had a non-concrete expectation of a limit you should not surpass BST-wise, preferably at levels with in-game support. It would require people to innovate on their own merit instead of hijacking someone elses.
That is why it's about stats. And the same could be said about BST. Except BSR actually says something that matters, whereas BST doesn't.The calculator also doesn't account for type, ability, or movepool, two other factors that weigh heavily on OU vs. Uber placement, but there's never a practical or logical way to account for that.
