    This is actually encouraged by the event guidelines. If you look here, you'll see that each CaP has a total move limit, and also a competitive move limit. Only about half the movepool is allowed to be made up of top-tier moves. The idea is that we'll end up making movepools which more closely...

    Which one would that be, then? It's not the one which says 'battle server,' or the one which says 'connecting to Doug's server.' They both lead to the pages that I'd already mentioned. If you actually checked a link to the 'CAP Sprite Update' zip file mentioned in the connection guide, and...

    Here's the forum thread for the server and the connection guide on the CaP website. Oh - but actually, the link (in both) to the Sprite Update seems to be broken. Does anyone have the zip file? Could it be uploaded somewhere, and the links mended?

    an arrow means that you have posted in the thread. Hover over it to see how many times. the padlock, as you know, means the thread is locked. an arrow and a padlock means that you posted in the thread, and then it was locked. finally the plain envelope: you haven't posted yet, but the thread's...

    Poison / Dragon Grass / Ghost Electric / Poison Psychic I'm worried that the coverage on Electric/Poison is too good. As we discussed in thread, it's great if there's a strong temptation to Sketch a coverage move - but I don't think that would happen with this combination. Psychic on the...

    Yllnath, I assume you mean these lists. As it says on the webpage, these are just trends. They apply to the vast majority of pokemon, but not all of them. And ultimately, we are 'advised' to 'make the most' of flavour, and the lists are described as 'guidelines.' I would treat Type-Move and...

    If you are going to leave this open for an extra day, it might be worth posting a new discussion thread, with a selection of the most perceptive quotes at the top, and your current plans for the slate. I've always found it a bit unnatural that there'd be no discussion between the announcement...

    While I swear there used to be a list, I'm afraid I can't find it. However you should be able to find most of them with some advanced googling. If you use this link it will search for threads on the smogon forums which talk about concepts. By using that trick and maybe searching for some...

  13. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 2 - Typing Discussion

    I am coming round to the idea of Poison/Dragon. As others have said, this would have good neutral coverage, but fail against Steels - causing CaP2 to choose between Sketching a really strong STAB move, or something which can hurt the Steel pokemon. This is exactly the kind of choice we want this...

    What kind of attacking roles might CaP2 take? It might pick one powerful move and try to bulldoze through as much as possible with that. This move should have high BP but also a broad neutral coverage against the top threats. Fighting is the best bet here, hitting all the most common pokemon...

    Sometimes between projects, there are policy threads which can be limited to the policy review committee (PRC). However these are clearly marked. All 'normal' threads in the course of a CaP project are open to anyone who takes the time to read the opening post and make a thoughtful...
