Hitting the 127-point ceiling says nothing yet about which stats should receive the investment — that answer depends on what the spread is actually for. For the Swords Dance set’s job, sweeping through a metagame’s Speed tiers with a boosted physical attack, I define a proposed measure I will call the sweep index: the product of a Pokémon’s final Attack stat and its final Speed stat. This is not an official in-game statistic; it is this article’s own construct, chosen because a physical sweeper that hits hard but moves last contributes nothing, a sweeper that moves first but hits softly contributes little, and a product (rather than a sum) captures that the two failure modes compound rather…
