My logic is if I keep trying eventually I will get it. So todays attempt is Nidoking. Nidoking has a pretty good movepool, can pick and choose move from a lot of types that allow it decent coverage. I didn't think that Nidoking's stats were right for him though, he is a wall breaker but his stats were to average for him to do his job properly.

           Hp   Atk   Def   Sp.Atk   Sp.Def   Spd
Old           81   92   77   85                75   85
                  
New      77   110   70   90                70   90

With these stats Nidoking has the speed and attack to become an adequate physical sweeper. Nidoking is also very capable of destroying special walls. Using Superpower, life orb, and rivalry, Nidoking can 1KHO a blissey with max evs in def and hp.

I hope that this is better then my previous attempts. I am still looking for as much criticism as I can get because I know I am still a long way off.

Thanks,

At a first glance, it looked okay, but I think you might have raised its attack too much. I might have raised it  to 100 at the most.

Well I made a version that was more balanced between attack and special. Then I made this version, for it I upped the Atk, and lowered the SP. Atk. Well if I lowered the Atk to 100 and increased Hp to 85 would you tihnk it was better?

I will bring up the same thing I brought up the previous time. You really need to provide evidence for your changes. Damage calculations, theorymon playtesting, etc. Just saying, "This is what I changed, I think it's ok." really won't cut it in the final product.

Taking your last post for example. If you did drop his Attack from 110 to 100, and increased his HP to 85, what would that do? What would he OHKO at 110 that he wouldn't at 100? How would that extra 8 points of HP increase his survivability at all?

Try working on things like that. Posting damage calculations would be a huge plus.

Thank you Raikt, criticism like that is what I need. Also what is theorymon?

[Raikt]

Theorymon is a combination of the words "Theory" and "Pokemon" to denote anything that is purely speculative. Basically, anything that we discuss without actually putting to the test (Read: putting it in the game and playing it) is pure theorymon.

Ahh, ok simple enough. I had thought that theorymon was like a program used to test the stats of a pokemon in battles where the player can modify the pokemon's base stats. Well thanks.
