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. Moveset: Mud Shot / Aqua Tail + Mud Bomb (default). Focal spread: its rank-1 stat-product spread (hover cells for cohort sizes and margins). full IV dive
W beats every cohort spread ? IV-decided: the green width is the share of cohort spreads beaten (uniform over the tested cohort, not a matchmaking distribution; each side keeps a minimum 1px sliver, so near-solid means "flips only in a corner") L beats no cohort spread (an exact 500-500 tie counts as not beaten) W outlined = settled in the displayed slice but IV-contested in a corner of the tested space (max-attack probe, high-attack cohort, probe-spread flip, or full-grid evidence) -- the "IVs decide" flags name the corner. Every 3x3 grid uses PvPoke's battle-matrix layout: rows = own shields 0/1/2 top to bottom, columns = opponent shields left to right (scenario labels read own-opp, e.g. 2-1 = you keep two shields, they keep one). Bait modes apply to the FOCAL side only -- in the no-bait line the opponent still baits, so the two directions of a no-bait pair describe different battles and their sheets need not mirror. Hover (desktop) for exact spread counts and score margins; on phones the cheat sheets' W/L/? letters and IV-decided column carry the outcome. The hub matrix itself is a color-only overview -- its row links open the text-carrying cheat sheet. IV-decided pairs with baked Tier-2 grids link to a full per-pair detail page -- click the 3x3 grid itself (cheat sheets), the matrix cell (hub), or the details expander; any budget-deferred pairs are listed on the hub.

"IVs decide" unions every slice (both probe spreads, both cohorts, both bait modes) - the strips show only the headline slice, so a flag can name a scenario whose strip looks settled.
Deliberately not built: team composition, lead/switch/closer roles, energy management lines, or "best 6" advice. This analysis is IV-robustness arithmetic on 1v1 sims, not necessarily expert-level competitive advice. What IS here: who beats whom across the opponent's plausible IV spreads, per shield scenario, both bait modes.
