Interesting idea. With regard to the concept, I think more than anything it's important to focus on moves that give the same number of boosts. By this I mean that while we could allow both Quiver Dance and Swords Dance, Quiver Dance effectively gives 3 boosts, while Swords Dance only gives two...

Ohmagod Dear everyone who says it's irrelevant, Ohms are extremely relevant to electricity. So "Ohm" is relevant. "Ma" is "manta", if you're trying to tell me this isn't a manta I have nothing more to say to you. The last part turns the overall name into a very creative pun that, whether it...

Nosferno is what I got. Nos refers to nosferatu, which has been mentioned already as a popular movie vampire. It's also considered a sub-type of vampires in lots of other horror and horror-ish series and stuff. Ferno comes from inferno because fire is awesome and our primary type. It's...

Magistrum

Infernape is a better option than Entei for physical Fire, Arcanine can do a comparable job in OU, Darmanitan has a comparable damage output (actually considerably higher, but with recoil), Victini's got higher damage output (much higher, but V-Create has downsides. Nothing wants to switch into...

Well, this is my first major contribution to CAP, I participated a bit in Malaconda but that was just a few Ability posts. I plan to see CAP 18 all the way through from start to finish, so I figured I may as well start with this. Concept: Backlash General Description: A Pokemon that turns...

Our CAP's all about using an underused move, Belly Drum, and the way I see it Belly Drum goes hand-in-hand with an underused ABILITY as well. I'm talking about Gluttony here, which as far as I know is used successfully by not a whole lot. Belly Drum Linoone is about all that comes to mind, and...

Ghost/Water Fire/Steel Dragon/Steel Steel/Flying Ghost/Steel

I haven't given a whole lot of thought to a typing combination that benefits Movemon, but I would like to express my opposition to Ghost/Normal. That opposition is based primarily around my understanding of the CAP project. We want to see how this particular concept affects the meta, and in my...

The biggest issue Jirachi has is typing and coverage. It won't be hitting most of what switches into DD effectively. Its only real option is to U-Turn out to something else, and that doesn't really put the kind of pressure on the opponent that being able to threaten common DD switch-ins would...

I'll admit I was originally opposed to Doom Desire/Future Sight mainly because of the delay and the opportunities it gave the opponent, but I recently tried a Heatran set in Balanced Hackmons that looked like this, and now find myself strongly supporting them: Heatran @Lum Berry Trait: Levitate...

I actually really like Snatch for this concept. A sizable chunk of the more dangerous OU Mons use set-up moves fairly often (Thundurus-T, Keldeo, Garchomp, Conkeldurr, Dragonite, Haxorus, Reuniclus (CM Variants, less common than TR but they're there), Volcarona, Cloyster, etc.). Using Snatch as...
