PLAYTESTING INTRODUCTION
This thread marks the beginning of the sixth period of playtesting for the first six CAPs (Syclant, Revenankh, Pyroak, Fidgit, Stratagem, Arghonaut).
The Arghonaut Playtesting ladder will replace the Stratagem Playtest ladder for the next 10 days, allowing us to test Arghonaut in isolation against the Platinum OU environment. Ladder ratings will NOT be reset. Here are the current standings (from the very start of the Arghonaut test):

Don't be intimidated by these numbers, though. If you know OU, and you are willing to experiment with Arghonaut -- then you should do just fine.
This thread will serve as home base for sharing playtesting information about Arghonaut. Post comments, advice, movesets, strategies, etc. If you post long battle logs and or teams, please enclose them in CODE tags as not to scroll the page. We encourage people to post their teams here, for those that don't want to make full RMTs. Just a couple of sentences per Pokemon will do fine, explaining what it does for the team and why you chose it. Nothing fancy is required.
At the end of the playtesting period (August 29th), the most proficient battlers on the Playtesting ladder will be awarded with Custom Titles to represent their achievements. Remember to stay active throughout the majority of the playtesting period, not just at the end. The method of selecting those who qualify for the CT has not been decided yet; however, EXP with the CAPs could be a major factor.
CAP9 will be started as soon as possible, please don't ask about it.
