I know I've mentioned it a lot recently, but... This spreadsheet with links to all my past analyses on raid attackers is "officially" live!

https://t.co/n1B8XjF4c6

Desktop users can also filter by type. Instructions in the "Welcome page" of the sheet.

Will keep it updated!

It's been a while, but I'm back with a long-overdue Fly Salamence raid attacker analysis:

@www_pokeball_dk Niantic has since acknowledged that Mega Rayquaza was supposed to have the background boost, but initially there was a bug in implementation. I'm not sure if the effect is live now, but if not, it means the bug has persisted.

[Teban54 @teban54]

Reasons for splitting into two articles:
* Ensure there's enough time for the 1st article before Blacephalon enters raids
* High uncertainty of Ultra Necrozma and other speculations
* Speculations may add too much distraction to the main article, i.e. what people can use now
2/2

[Teban54 @teban54]

Starting an article on Blacephalon, Marshadow and DM/DW Necrozmas, done by May 23 (raids).

I might also discuss *Ultra* Necrozma and other speculative stuff (better moves, Solgaleo/Lunala with sig moves).

Do YOU think these speculations should be in a separate article? 1/2

[Teban54 @teban54]

Quick note on Magical Leaf Victreebel in raids: Better than Razor Leaf, but just barely. Around 2%.

Victreebel is still worse than Leafeon, and Shadow Victreebel is still worse than Roserade, with or without Magical Leaf.

FYI: I still can't start working on the Shadow Darmanitan analysis because it's still not in Pokebattler yet.

[Teban54 @teban54]

@VIPERQUAZA It's actually a pretty significant difference: https://t.co/9ge5ze04tZ

[Teban54 @teban54]

Black line is Blast Burn Incineroar.

I haven't decided if it's worth making a full (i.e. properly formatted) plot. Just putting this up here in case I don't.

Hopefully the "article" won't take anything more than 1-2 hours, and I definitely won't run any more sims.

[Teban54 @teban54]

@Rhyperior111 Take non-shadow, non-Apex Ho-Oh off the list. Even with Sacred Fire (not SF+/++), it's only as good as Charizard and even worse than Incineroar.

Nature's Madness Tapus and Shadow Raikou raid attacker analysis:

[Teban54 @teban54]

Getting this Tapu chart out here first, because it honestly surprised me in many ways.

Full analysis of Shadow Raikou and Tapus this week (probably).

@MathProf Togekiss analysis last year: https://t.co/R9lmduxwUV

[Teban54 @teban54]

Enamorus charts as a fairy-type attacker.

Flying-type sims are still running, will work on the article after that's done.

[Teban54 @teban54]

@MathProf (If I included Fly whenever usable, like I did for AS Togekiss, I suspect it would shoot up by a lot. However, then we should allow Gardevoir to use Confusion/Psychic too, nullifying the point of a fairy-type chart. AS Togekiss was due to its unusualness and to raise awareness.)

[Teban54 @teban54]

At long last... My analysis on all 3 of the Shadow Weather Trio (Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza), plus some other new shadows, is here!

@bmenrigh_pogo Moving the cutoff closer to 1 means "generalists" drop out, but also, less ideal counters get lower scores. E.g. if the cutoff is moved to 1.25, that "1.2x worse" counter's score goes from 0.6 to 0.2.

[Teban54 @teban54]

Updated Strength & Utility chart for 2024. Pic #2 has Dragon Ascent and RoT.

It measures both # of bosses to use them against, and how they compare to the top counter. Originally developed for Rocket Radar decisions a year ago, so now is the perfect time to update.

1/3

[Teban54 @teban54]

@bmenrigh_pogo If the cutoff is 1.5, for example, other attackers' scores decrease linearly until their estimator becomes 1.5x of the top counter, where it becomes 0.

So a counter with estimator 1.2x of the top counter gets a score of 0.6, estimator 1.3x gets 0.4, and estimator 1.7x gets 0.
