Alright...I'm gonna try to be active throughout this entire process. Emphasis on try. Anyway, I was going to suggest a viable Hail-starter, but I think someone did that, so...

Plan B. "B" here meaning "Likely to get me burned at the Smogon stake."

Name: (Uber CAP!!)
General Description: (A Pokemon which, despite it's average or below-average appearance, has somehow found it's way into the Uber metagame, or conversely a Pokemon which seems like it should be in Ubers which is stuck in OU. )

Justification: (This concept would primarily allow us to explore the Uber metagame the same way CAP has explored OU, discovering exactly what makes an Uber pokemon. Furthermore, there are some Pokemon whose inclusion or exclusion from the metagame can be confusing. Simply put, this concept seeks to examine why some Pokemon which were never intended to be hugely dangerous (like Ditto) find themselves in Uber, and why Pokemon like Entei, which at first glance should belong in Ubers, typically only find use in OU or lower. )

Questions To Be Answered:
(~What combination of Base Stats, Movepool, Abilities, etc., make a seemingly OU Pokemon Uber, or vice verse?
~Can a seemingly average or below-average Pokemon compete in Ubers without a game changing ability or move (Ditto Impostor, Cloyster Shell Smash, etc), or is it required?
~How will this Pokemon change the Uber metagame? Will certain Pokemon become more or less common in the metagame in response to it? How will this in turn effect other metagames?
~What flaws can bring a seemingly Uber worthy Pokemon down to OU? Is it still at all viable?)

Explanation: (Alright. Here's where I justify why you all shouldn't burn me at the stake. I know CAP has traditionally been an OU event, considering most competitive play takes place in OU. However, I feel the Uber metagame deserves at least one CAP so we can explore it the same way we have OU. How do we do that? By figuring out either A) How can a seemingly average or below average Pokemon be made Uber? or B) How can a seemingly Uber Pokemon be brought down to OU? In essence, we wouldn't be making a Garchomp or a Rayqyaza, but we wouldn't be making Slaking or Regigigas (I know I probably spelled that wrong.) either. We want to make something more like Cloyster, which was more or less NU material until it got Shell Smash, or Latios which typically needs Soul Dew to really compete in Uber, and finds itself in OU without it.)

Well. That's my idea. I welcome comments or complaints, though I really don't expect it to get any traction.
