Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Does the "primary type" actually do anything different than the secondary type? The way I see it, a dual-typed pokemon gets use from both its types equally. Such as tentacruel; the water type lets it work better in rain, and the poison type lets it absorb toxic spikes. I just don't think that...
We saw some HP (especially of the starters) at certain levels, is there some way to get a general idea of base HP stats from that ? It'd be nice to possibly learn what the bulkiness of the starters is like.
Also, was that move froakie used a new one? It didn't remind me of anything I know...
Fletchling is another pokemon that loses its normal typing as it evolves, so having done it once already, GF could just as easily do it with Helioptile and/or Litleo. And I think part of the reason people are almost expecting these two to change their normal typing is because the normal type...
I agree that Leaf Guard would be a prime ability for CAP5. I'm not going to restate all the reasons other people have said, but I do have one little problem with it. If the point of this ability is to allow CAP5 to run a different set than a Harvest mon could do, supposedly more offensive...

First, I think everyone needs to read/reread jas61292's last post.
I feel like people have been ignoring/misunderstanding the way this project is heading right now. As jas said, we don't want to create a pokemon that is a better sweeper in the sun, a better dragon counter, or a better rain...
I think that the Sun Mon has the best potential as of now. This is because we have decided on the types to raise and lower in usage as well as have a solid approach to tackle that task. This pokemon would fulfill our goal by encouraging sun over water, which would boost fire/grass type usage and...
