Full-grid view of an IV-decided pair: every focal IV spread (all 4096, stat-product order) against the opponent's top-512 spreads, per shield scenario, plus closed-form reach/deny cutoffs.
5839391a7596, gamemaster 8f1d6cca5c0f, producer c1395dfa10b9. Cohorts: opponent top-512 by stat product, plus best-SP-per-attack-IV band (labeled separately, never pooled). Focal probe spreads: rank-1 SP and max-attack within top-512. Community Day move injected for Thievul (NS+IW) (Icy Wind), Thievul (IW+PR) (Icy Wind): the pinned sim gamemaster predates that Community Day, so the move was admitted into the species pool deliberately; upstream PvPoke already lists it. Full provenance on the affected entries' cheat sheets. Flagged by the Tier-1 screen (an attack-band cohort or probe-spread slice) or by the full-grid audit over all 4096 focal spreads, but the top-512 x top-512 block itself is uniform for this scenario -- the IV-dependence lives outside it, i.e. among off-meta or breakpoint-chaser builds (see the cheat-sheet dig-in and the curves below).

DAMAGE-PLAN thresholds (minimal energy-legal plan from zero energy), NOT full-battle guarantees -- shields, energy timing and bulk live in the grids above, and only grid numbers use the word "beats" on this page. All atk/def values are EFFECTIVE stats (shadow multiplier applied -- the scale iv_rank and PvPoke stat displays use). Guarantee vs rank-1 columns are different quantities on purpose.
| damage plan (energy-legal) | guarantee atk (plan KOs every top-512 Ninetales) | atk vs rank-1 (0/15/15) | Altaria top-512 spreads meeting guarantee | meeting rank-1 cutoff | top-512 Ninetales denying your rank-1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2x Sky Attack + 25x Dragon Breath | 89.04 | 88.94 | 512/512 (4096/4096) | 512/512 | 0/512 |
Every cutoff above is boundary-confirmed against the engine damage function at render time (crosses at the printed value, falls short one float below).
Plans NO attainable spread can complete (attainable effective atk tops out at 110.27): 1x Flamethrower + 14x Dragon Breath (needs 238.70); 2x Flamethrower + 28x Dragon Breath (needs 119.35); 1x Sky Attack + 13x Dragon Breath (needs 179.02).
