  1. Ok! I think we have had a great discussion on what moves can towards the strengths of Doom Dedire, and which ones are either too potent or simply anti concept. Now that this is complete, I believe we are in the right position to open the moveset submissions.
  2.  
  3. Here is a breakdown of the status regarding all of the undecided moves.
  4.  
  5. Set Up: The major gripe with set up was that CAP 26 may become too powerful with the ability to boost the power of its Doom Desire. With first-hand playtesting and the accounts of several users, Nasty Plot was shown to be simply too overbearing, allowing CAP 26 to break through all but the sturdiesylt of counters, most of which are crippled by Toxic anyways. Thus, Nasty Plot is banned. Work Up however, was deemed acceptable, as it took much longer to reach the same power level as Nasty Plot, giving opponents time to appropriately react. While it garnered little discussion, it is safe to say that Calm Mind is also banned, as boosting its bulk and power simultaneously was seen as broken on a Pokémon of its defensive prowess.
  6.  
  7. Recovery: 50% recovery attacks are simply too strong on a Pokémon with its level of staying power. This allows it to easily outlast its counters, as most either lack reliable recovery themselves or are vulnerable to Toxic. Even the reduced PP of Moonlight and Morning Sun was not enough of a deterrant, as it has been proven that CAP 26 does not need to constantly click them to heal. Thus, 50% recovery moves are banned.
  8.  
  9. Coverage: In regards to coverage, specifically Ice and Electric, it was quickly agreed that both of these are terrible options, for different reasons. Ice Coverage splashes with CAP 26's Ground STAB perfectly well, making it extremely likely that it would drop Doom Desire for Ice type attacks. Electric moves were deemed way too risky, as it gives CAP 26 a means of breaking past near all of its counters. With those thoughts considered, both of these coverage options are banned.
  10.  
  11. Now, onto the meat of the matter,[b]Movesets are officially open![/b] Before posting, I would like for everyone to pay keen attention. I will be be careful to examine all submissions in keen detail, as we cannot afford to overload CAP 26 with an abundance if moves to overshadow Doom Desire.
  12.  
  13. We should also bear in mind the C&C and and overall balance when crafting Moveset Submissions, as suggesting sets that have the possibility of pushing CAP 26 over the edge cannot be permitted. The checklist will ensure that we do not give CAP 26 means to break past our described checks. This means that for every set, I require a detailed explanation for each suggested move on the set.
  14.  
  15. In addition to all off that, our very own @Quanyails has provided us with a server that we can use to playtest our own suggested movesets, so I suggest that everyone who is crafting movesets to please hop on over to the server to test them out. The link to the server is here -> http://quanyails.asuscomm.com.psim.us/
