CAP 5 CAP 5 - Part 4 (Style Bias Poll 1)

Break the Mold-Click here to see the full post.

Name: Break the Mold

Description:
An OU viable pokemon that goes completely against the stereotypes of its typing.

Type: Rock

This is where we determine the general style of the pokemon, from an offensive and defensive standpoint. We also will set limits on the stat spreads that support that style. It should be noted that the Style Bias is not just for limiting stats, but also helps shape the general "feel" of the pokemon. The Style may influence other parts of the pokemon -- such as art, movepool, ability, etc. However, the stat spread is the only part of the project that will be specifically constrained by the voted Style Bias.

Style Bias should start with a short click poll with three options:

• Offensive
• Defensive
• Mixed

Soooo lets go!

 

[yoshi!]

Voting offensive, most Rock types (barring Relicanth and Aerodactyl) are walls.

 

[cyberzero]

Same as above.

 

[Flounder]

Offensive, not much of a choice if we're "breaking the mold".

 

[Ria]

The same as above x2, plus rocks are walls most of the time

 

[Infiltrator]

Go offensive!

 

[bojangles]

Offensive. Rocks are usually walls, so a sweeping one would be nice.

 

[TPM]

Is there evn a point to this, Offensive will win.

 

[beej]

Offensive, not much of a contest...

 

[Shelcario]

What about Tyranitar being a sweeper, also Steelix, Golem?

EDIT: Anyway I voted offensive because we don't have any pure rock type sweepers so yeah.

 

[DoubleUnderscore]

Offensive. Obviously.

 

[Not Scicky]

Offensive, honestly, I have trouble figuring out why this thread was even made ._.

 

[darkie]

haha what a blow out.

 

[CyzirVisheen]

Offensive, honestly, I have trouble figuring out why this thread was even made ._.

It's just part of the process, lol. Anyway, voted Offensive.

 

[Infiltrator]

Offensive, honestly, I have trouble figuring out why this thread was even made ._.

agreed ...i was wondering that too.

 

[Erladis]

If were ''breaking the mold'', a fast, special sweeper is really the only way to go.

 

[UberMunch]

Uh, offensive was basically decided the moment rock was (also special but that's poll jumping D:)

EDIT: I am not complaining at all, I just wanted to comment on how obvious this pool is.

 

[tennisace]

If it's in the process guide, it will be made. If it's not in the process guide, it won't be made. I don't care if you think these polls are unnecessary or not. If you can back up your claim, ask Doug to make a PR thread. If not, deal.

 

[swordmaster117]

Offensive

Enough said

 

[Robodl9]

Offense-most rocks are deffensive

 

[Syprus]

Offensive all the way!

 

[Squarehead42]

What about Tyranitar being a sweeper, also Steelix, Golem?

I'm sorry, but didn't Steelix trade rock typing during its evolution from Onix for Steel typing?

But rocks are defensive with added offense...so it's gotta be offensive.

 

[Pombo]

Offensive... 72/0/4 lol?

 

[Not Scicky]

I'd call tyranitar a tank, due to his insanely low speed, also, if you factor in the Sp. Def boost from the sandstorm, he has a higher Sp. Def stat then he does Attack =/

So lets take a look at tyranitars max stats

Sp. Def > Attack (With Sandstorm, without it's lower, but still)
Def > Sp. Atk
HP > Speed

2/3 Without sandstorm, 3/3 with...

looks pretty defensive to me =/

Steelix is a sweeper? What?

Golems stats

Def > Attack
Sp. Def > Sp. Atk
HP > Speed

...

Yeah I don't think so =/

Fact is, rock types (regardless of there role) are built defensively stat-wise =/

 

[felix]

It should be a fast offensive rock type
