You should analyze all the Staff members so we can see who wins in a All-star PF Staff Cage Match!

I'm bored. This seems like fun.

I already analyzed Cacapulse, and said that from his design, I can't imagine his movepool being that varied. He told me he has high Spatk and HP, so Leaf Storm seams the way to do, then u-turning out. I don't see a lot of moves to use, is the problem... Earth Power?

Next is ShinE. Psychic/Dragon is a pretty nice typing, though Psychic just adds problems defensively. The issue here is that I imagine ShinE with a pretty high Attack and not Special Attack, so those Psychic moves go somewhat to waste. Dragon givs him powerful moves however. I also see him as fairly bulky, so Dragon Dance would help boost his speed and then he could hit them hard with a Claw or Rush. Or of course, Hyper Spin.

Up next is.... Bonzai!

Now here's a contender. With high speed and I presume both attack stats, Bonzai is built as an ideal sweeper. While Fire Flying is admittedly not the best typing either way, he has a plethora of other moves to help him out, along with a boosting move in Dragon Dance. The issue is a lack of good physical Fire-moves. Still a class A sweeper because of remarkable speed.

And now Antarctros. Ice Flying is a horrible typing, unfortunately, just adding Ice's weaknesses. However, STAB Ice Beam makes for a wonderful bread and butter attack, along with Brave Bird. The issue here is a parallell to Bonzai - no Ice moves on the physical end of the spectrum save CRystal Cut, which I'm not sure Tros learns! A lack of movepool is the death of him.

Miravistel. Light/Flying is a nice typing, though giving 4x weakness to Rock, it also counters Fighting and Ice. Light has a wonderful movepool to abuse a high special stat with, but Flying not so much. However, it seems to me that Mira would have a great support movepool like Calm Mind. I think she would make a wonderful set up sweeper with say... maybe a rest sleep talk set?

More to come later! Staffers, correct me if I'm wrong on anything I say, because this is all postulation!

I have no idea if what I'm saying is true!

It seems you haven't taken a look at our preliminary superdex entries. You gotta do 'that thing that we do to secretly make the site look awesome' before going to the superdex page.

If you do the secret thing, then you can see a hell of a lot more than if you don't, haha. Maybe I should do something about that one day.

Here are my stats:
HP 70
Attack 110
Defense 50
Sp. Attack 110
Sp. Defense 50
Speed 240

My secret weapon would, therefore, be HM03 Trailblaze, which would do 240 damage. But it would maybe work better if Trailblaze's POWER was equal to the user's Speed, rather than the damage.
For other Fire/Physical moves though, I only have Fire Punch as a (Gen IV) move tutor and Flame Wheel as an observation move, so maybe I can add some more with the Gen V move pools.

...I forgot I was staff and can see that.
HAH.
Let's see, any revisions I can make...
Well yeah, Trailblaze makes Bonzai broken. But there's these things called priority moves. Bonzai would NOT like those. One Aqua Jet or Extremespeed = death. Still, Trailblaze makes that insane. 240 is a lot of damage to do consistently... But it means he would only get 2hkos. This still makes you better than I thought though.

So I got ShinE's stats horribly wrong! Those stats are GODLY. Would be an excellent mixed sweeper with his great movepool too. EQ, flamethrower, U-turn... Great moves, makes him much much much better than I originally said.

Antarctos I also got wrong! Sp Atk of 135 is amazing. Surf + Ice Beam + SHock Wave + ... Ah. Seems I was right, the movepool is pretty limited. This is why a Choice Scarf set would make Tros amazing. Boosts the already good speed to amazing levels, let's him destroy with bolt-beam. A fairly great special sweeper.

Cacapulse I was mostly right about. The only thing I was wrong about is just how high the special stat is, but that low-ish speed will do you in as a sweeper. Choice Scarfed Earth power would hurt though! The movepool is still quite limited with the only real options being Earth Power, Leaf Storm, Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, and maybe Giga Drain and Dark Pulse. As a scarfer, would still be great.

Mira I got almost entirely right, except the movepool is more limited than I thought. With a wide lens, could do fairly well with those great Speed and SpA stats, hoping to hit with UV Ray. Other than that, Mira is almost entirely limited to Thunderbolt, HP Ice for bolt-beam coverage, and Flamethrower/U-turn. That said, that's a wonderful set. The one other thing that is great is that Mira could just use a Flame Orb to activate Focus - this prevents her from any other status, gives her a boost, makes her moves so overpowering that she can just sweep through. Another option for any limited moveset poke is Rest-Talk - activate Focus, get boost, destroy with full health. It's risky, but very hard to take down.

Don't forget, Bonzai, moves you could've learned as a Charmander. Flare Blitz and Fire Fang are semi-reliable, even though you'd have to get Flare Blitz by breeding.
