  3. 74/96/92/118/52/108 - 540 BST (Arcato)
  4. This stat spread aims to make this a more special-leaning Pokemon on the offensive side, and in my opinion that would make the rest of this contest far more engaging and exciting, as it would introduce interesting problems for us to solve (perhaps in custom moves or another ability). On a more personal note, I feel as though a physical fighting type is a road well-travelled, and I worry it would be boring if we made this purely a physical attacker.
  5.  
  6. With its given offenses it can still wield Physical moves in a pinch if it needs, while hitting hard enough on the special side to significantly threaten many Pokemon in the tier. I gave it just enough speed to outspeed Carcharus, but it will need to equip a Choice Scarf to outspeed any of the mons above it (including Wrighvern, Enchantobra, Lunachi, and Harportia). In terms of its bulk, I intentionally left it lacking outside of its defense, which I pumped up a bit so it would be able to better tank Knock Offs from Pokemon such as Loxicant and Niandertroll. I think it's alright to not hit ludicrously hard on the special side, because the tier's dedicated special check in Pald would hate taking a hit from this due to not being able to recover it off with Regenerator. In conclusion, I think gearing this to be primarily a special attacker makes it a lot more interesting of a concept, and something that would stand out against other mons currently in the tier (Rotom-Hisui coming first to mind).

  10. 84/110/93/54/65/120 - 523 (_jackieFreeze)
  11. used Luxray’s stats as a baseline, big speed, good attack, passable physbulk can switch in on one or two physical hits

  20. 80 / 129 / 90 / 50 / 89 / 102 - 540 (anaconja)
  21. "- atk: 2hkos nest with scarf gunk
  22. - spe: outspeeds up to booster mirage with scarf
  23. - special bulk: never 2hkod by pal after sr
  24. - physical bulk: never ohkod by lunachi's band play rough or 2hkod by darkest lariat after sr"

  28. 90 / 40 / 89 / 110 / 89 / 117 - 535 (Timbiterino)
  29. "117 outruns the Enchantobra which is the fastest Mon that this typing beats on paper. It can tech on Vacuum Wave to hit this Iron Everlasting thing if it's concerned about it, though that thing is probably RU for a reason.
  30. In the vanilla meta game it's not too important to be 117, iirc this is meant as like a gen 6 OU power level where a lot of the main threats are base 110.
  31. 110 special attack is fine for an offensive pivot with this typing, since it's so bad (yes its bad)
  32. It has to actually have bulk to not die to single hits. And it does have high possible BP STABs with Focus Blast and Sludge Wave.
  33.  
  34. Any stronger than 110 would make it's raw offensive prowess more noteworthy than it's pivot-based design, which this concept does not want.
  35.  
  36. The HP was just a number
  37. And the defenses were just to give it a natural BST"

  41. 81/106/70/58/94/121 BST: 530 (Madsi6)
  42. "A heavy focus on speed and large focus on physical attack allows us to make the most of our stabs on the physical side. Our speed puts us above most pokemon in poa at the moment, while still being outsped by a few notable offensive threats that we'd rather avoid by default. Our attack allows us to score 2 hit ko's reliably against targets that are weak to fighting and poison, assuming we're running strong moves like close combat or gunk shot, but options for safer options like poison jab or drain punch lowers our offensive presence while still threatening various defensive answers and allowing for various utility in the form of either poison or recovery. These moves are of course not guaranteed to make it but serve as options in terms of power differences and utility.
  43. Our bulk learns more in favor of specially defensive, avoiding a 2 hit ko from palde's uninvested moonblast for example, but we still don't like most super-effective hits, relying on the ability to enter via pivot to thrive. Our lower physical defense is definitely not ideal, and we need to make sure we don't come in on most super effective moves, unless we need to. Overall it's not anything ground-breaking but we can get the job done quite well in my opinion with this spread."

  46.  
  47. 80/118/73/69/80/123 - BST: 543 (Soup1900)
  48. Speed is high enough to outspeed most pokemon but is slower than some threats like Harportia, Wrightvern, and Staruhz
  49.  
  50. ---------------------------------------------------
  51.  
  52. 97/99/89/58/74/121- 538 (Ru_was_here)
  53. "Bulk: For this mon, relative bulk is needed to be a pivoter, whilst also keeping its stats relatively balanced across the board, though with a Physdef bias to help it comfortably switch in on notable offensive mons, whilst not actively being a wall. Eg: This mon becomes a decent pivot into mirage, and this allows for further mindgames if movesets were to allow. I also personally think, if Bodypress is gifted to this mon, its physical defence would likely be higher. This tends to be the trend that a mons defensive strengths mirror its offensive one's. And this is no different!
  54.  
  55. Offences: This mons dump stat is evidently its sp.atk, meaning it can make good use of common fighting and poison moves such as cc and pjab, whilst also being comfortable enough to run some solid coverage moves if movesets allow. This also makes sense, and giving it Nuetralising Gas could lead to some very funny interactions with dealing with the tanky Mochimechi further.
  56.  
  57. Speed: 121 is a significant number in the POA metagame in terms of current speed tiers, out running frequent mons like MegaSek and Lunachi, being faster than Enchantobra is also a nice additive, however it does underspeed Drifbozu by exactly ine point, meaning that mons like Wrighvern can run away with this guys life if the pilot isn't wise enough.
  58.  
  59. Other important stuff I think i should mention: keeping a mons Stats relatively balanced, especially for a regular ass mon, makes the mon feel more like a mon. Therefore aiming for the centre of the bracket where possible. This would be the first POA mon to have this BST, sitting it just above Magnegauss and PZ (the similarities between these two grow larger every day), and having the odd number makes it feel like a real mon.

  61. Sorry for the rant, Ru was Here!"

  64.  
  65. 90/120/85/75/80/100-550 (Rowlet Enthusiast)
  66. This set allows it to oko fluffy catzel (if it has neutralizing gas) and it has a 73.5% chance to live a +1 stomping tantrum from catzel (that’s all I have really calc’d though)
  67.  
  68. ---------------------------------------------------
  69.  
  70. 80/110/45/105/85/125 - 550 (Nuclearstomp)
  71. Mixed offenses with higher attack and a little bit of special bulk. Just kind of threw something together.
  72.  
  73. ---------------------------------------------------
  74.  
  75. 70/92/73/116/63/112 - 526 (MAD0130)
  76. 92/116 offense gives it the ability to use either physical or special attack but puts the main focus on combatting some of our strong physical walls/sweepers like Entei-S and Nestitan. This speed sets it up to be faster than some of the more recent powerhouses like Scaleslash, Carcharus and if speed up nature (252+) it can out-speed non-speed up nature (252) Enchantobra.
  77.  
  78. ---------------------------------------------------
  79.  
  80. (Special 535 BST Spread) 91/60/85/122/59/118 - 535 (charleyistired)
  81. 118 puts it above Enchantobra while also putting it below the theoretical 120 speed tier for another pokemon to claim, making it slower than Harpodia, Staruyz, and Wrightvern.
  82.  
  83. ---------------------------------------------------
  84.  
  85. 84/94/74/104/64/114 - 534 (rydalisdarx)
  86. Not too fast, not too offensively oppressive, not too bulky with its typing. Something that can exist, something that won't run over the tier. Every new "meta-oriented" mon seems to be trying to HARD counter things, and I'm completely ok submitting something that will check but not overwhelm things.
