It's all coming back to me now
Double Posting again because I can.
I guess this can work. You still get stuck with the old standard typings, something like Grass/Bug/Poison/Ice/Rock, or maybe something niche like a non sweeper dragon type or something, but I guess it lets people be as creative as they like. We potentially really wont learn anything from the concept, but its got potential for being something like a "fun" process rather than something dedicated for the competitive metagame.Breaking the Mold
This is ok. The issue I actually have however, is that it looks like we want this mon to be a "surprise" mon, and its got the same issues as to why I'll almost never support a lure mon concept, because if your opponent expects the surprise than there is jack your CAP can do, its just a lump of nothing. I am just skeptical as to how it works.Mysterious Wall
If we make a pokemon that can check half the metagame, then thats not actually decreasing the matchup issue. Case in point, look at Aegislash and the Giratina (joke), test. Sure, they checked half the metagame, but they were all deemed to be unhealthy.Zone Coverage
This is too situational. No-one would legit bother putting a mon like this on a team and there is little point in making a CAP around a concept that isn't worth putting on a mon.The Status Sponge
