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. Full-grid check: NO scenario in this direction is IV-decided within the top-512 x top-512 block -- each of the 9 is a uniform win or a uniform loss for every spread pairing (the cheat-sheet strips show which).
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 Greninja) | atk vs rank-1 (3/15/12) | Forretress (Shadow) top-512 spreads meeting guarantee | meeting rank-1 cutoff | top-512 Greninja denying your rank-1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1x Rock Tomb + 17x Bug Bite | 83.84 | 81.92 | 512/512 (4096/4096) | 512/512 | 0/512 |
| 2x Rock Tomb + 34x Bug Bite | 41.92 | 40.96 | 512/512 (4096/4096) | 512/512 | 0/512 |
| 1x Sand Tomb + 14x Bug Bite | 121.89 | 117.96 | 512/512 (4096/4096) | 512/512 | 0/512 |
| 2x Sand Tomb + 27x Bug Bite | 61.79 | 61.44 | 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).
Stage-0 numbers: this pair carries a stat-stage-moving move, so in-battle stages can shift these cutoffs (deny cutoffs shift optimistically). Grids above include all stage effects.
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).
