Hey everyone!
Starting from now, as a little tease, I will be dropping random facts affected by IVs! This can be a break/bulkpoint, CMP tech, sometimes even how it affects a matchup or an optimal spread to get it! π
Feraligatr mirror! Were you aware that shadow *can* breakpoint in the mirror? Probably
However, were you also aware that this can allow feraligatr to win the 0s down 10 turns? You heard me right, you can let them farm 5 whole shadow claws and still end up victorious!

This is it for this matchup! Thanks for reading!

If you want to know about any tech like this or break/bulkpoints, dont hesitate to ask
Tinkaton and mantine are looking like top threats for the world championships. What you may not know is how weird the matchup between the 2 is. From an odd strategy to a breakpoint, heres what you gotta know π§΅
A more optimal spreads that would only target the better tinkaton would be the default IV bulkpoint, targeting any tinkaton below 108.27 atk. This requires 165.73 defense, reachable by the higher ranked mantine.
Did you know this? π
@BattleFrontPOGO's Tsuki Cup shines a spotlight on Solrock and Lunatone!
With identical stats and IV breakpoints, choosing the right build comes down to one question:
Attack or Defense? βοΈπ

Kingdra and Altaria are both among Open Great League's strongest Dragons.
But with the right IV spread, Kingdra can claim the throne.

@beforedawnfan Whats bulkpointing gourgeist even doing, this is naturally winning and it's an incinerate mon
Additionally dropping hp for max defense means you are never getting the jumpluff 0-1s win or furet 0-1s win which doesn't sound worth the jellicent bulkpoint - matchup isnt even good
Baxcalibur! A new move move has been added to this pokemon - it may not make it meta, but it doesn't mean it can't cook with some IV techs. Here's what you want to find during community day today ! π§΅
@www_pokeball_dk That'd be for master league but that's a great league analysis. It could have a niche in a limited meta some day due to a fairly good moveset and pretty broken move, althouh it's likely to be overshadowed by arctibax
Arctibax! Today is (or was for some) community day. You may have caught hundreds if not thousands of frigibax, but which arctibax do you actually want? Here are the details π§΅
@beforedawnfan You're also mentioning avalanche whereas I simmed with icy wind which makes more sense to me. And yeah the altaria break isnt that relevant but it can help a late game up shield situation if you cant play for energy
@beforedawnfan Theyre very low for rank 1 maybe but some of those sims were made for a guarantee break, not just the most optimal spreads Hence the need for slightly more attack. More defense doesn't really matter since your only target would be the jellicent bulk which is already easy to get
This analysis is gonna be focused on 5 points: galarian corsola, shadow empoleon, furret & jumpluff breakpoints, and a jellicent bulkpoint. The assumed moveset is dragon breath, icy wind, dragon claw.
