Now we move onto the part where we vote for the typing for CAP 2. In this poll, we will determine which type combos move forward to the last poll. The results of this poll series will be a dual typing for CAP 2 that we will follow all the way 'til the cows come home.
Recall that this poll is a bold vote poll, the details of which are outlined here. A typical vote might look like the following:
This poll will be open for 24 hours.
When voting, use only the typing and mind the order of the types! The list of possible votes in order of placement in the last poll are:
All of these were suggested by other users in the process of the typing thread, and all were discussed. I explained why I liked Grass / Ghost and Poison / Dragon in this post really well. I ended up choosing Electric / Poison because I genuinely feel that the Electric-type is intriguing for its Sketch options physically in Bolt Strike and Sketch options for coverage moves. The Poison typing also benefits it by exacerbating its Ground vulnerability and giving it a Fighting resistance, keeping the balance of the offensive type with the defensive type.
I know people will be sad that I slated nothing with the Water-type in it, and people might also be sad that I didn't slate Normal / Ghost. I made my stance on Water typing crystal clear in the aforelinked post above. Meanwhile, there was a lot of discussion back and forth about Normal / Ghost, and I and the ATL both agree that Normal / Ghost isn't practical for the CAP's concept of Sketching interesting coverage moves or offensive boosting moves. Furthermore, it lacks practical resistances for actually being useful at all in OU. For those reasons, neither of these things were slated. I hope that you all who supported them can trust my judgment and will continue to argue as fiercely as you have for things you want in future stages! Who knows what I can be convinced of?
Below is CAP 2 so far:
May the best typing win!
tl;dr: Quack! (Vote!)
