Competitive Guide: M-Arbok

[shademonkey]

I honestly don't know how to run speed calcs, mate. With my guides, it more of a outline/proof of concept than doing very hard calculation for what affects what, but I can learn how to do those later today to satisfy you inquiry! We all have to learn someday, after all

The wiki gives you the extreme values of each pokemon's stats. For example, 31/252 Jolly Arbok-M would hit a maximal speed stat of 306 at level 100. But that's if you choose to invest fully in Speed. If you want to know a stat that's not the very maximum you can get you'll have to run this formula.


Let's see with your typical Choice Scarf Nucleon: Nucleon has a Speed Base Stat of 90 just like Arbok-M.
2*90 + 31 + 252/4 = 274
274*50 / 100 + 5 = 142
142*1.1 for a Timid Nature = 156
156*1.5 with Scarf = 234
234*0.66 after Petrify = 154 at level 50. When Max Speed Arbok-M hits 156 at level 50.

Or I just realized you could use Showdown if you want to know your final stats before applying modifiers.

As for the Constrictor Set, if it gets enough complaints from users, I'll remove it from my guide not to give a bad impression. I want to provide useful, helpful info, not cause any discord from making a trolling guide!

Causing discord? You give me too much credit ; Nah I was just trying to say this set'll have a difficult time doing what it's supposed to do, but I was in a hurry and worded my sentence in a way that made me sound rude. It happens sometimes, haha
Oh and, by any means please keep the unorthodox sets coming ; I like to see originality, but this particular one I'm just not too fond, is what I'm saying.
