Since when is Guard Swap a movepool or a list of moves?
I didn't have any other moves, just the Guard Swap
I know, I'm just pointing it out bud.
I know, I was just saying
Okay, since i forgot about the ability rule and my last post is worthless, I'd like to post a new concept, though you guys might get mad at me...
Concept: Super SubSeeder
Description: My concept is a Pokemon that can maximize the potency of the SubSeeding strategy.
Explanation: This would be a Pokemon that with SubSeed strategy would be insane. It would most likely be fast, have high HP and have good SpAtk.

Two problems with this. One, Pyroak. Two, you can't submit more than one concept, and you already submitted one.
Name: Gatling Gun
Description: A strong Pokemon that can make use of attacks that hit repeatedly. (Arm Thrust, Barrage, Bone Rush, Bullet Seed, ect.)

If I may say something in defense, Pyroak isn't actually that fast: it only has 60 base Speed
Concept: Brand-name foam football, otherwise known as Nerf
Descritption: A Pokemon with uber or near uber stats that is hindered so much by its typing, movepool, and/or ability that it is OU
Explanation: I've noticed in the last CaP that many of the Base Stat Totals were 555, and even though they don't matter that much, it is still high, so I thought "If they're going to be high anyway, let's make it uber." The challenge of this CaP would be to hinder this enought to stay in OU, but not be almost completely useless. *Stares at Regigigas*
I dunno, its all I could come up with.

Honestly, SubSeeders don't need to be at lightning speed. Pyroak is the best SubSeeder out there with tons of resistences. We don't need another SubSeeder.
You mean not completely useless, right?
And I would love to have a plausible Regigigas.
Concept: Mischief Master
Description: A pokemon built for OU around deception, trickery, and unpredictability.
Explanation: It would have access to several status moves, but have stats that are respectable enough to run more conventional sets of some sort, lending to its unpredictability. Of course, he would also probably have access to item manipulation moves, such as trick, switcheroo, and thief. Other possiblities include U-Turn and Fake Out.

As much as I love this concept, I don't think it's viable.
Concept: Boost Negater
Explanation: Having an ability which negates all kind of stats boosts/nerfs like DD, Sword dance and Charm except maybe stat boosts from abilities like Super Power and Guts (not Intimidate).
The pokémon itself not being a big threat in itself, maybe a quick status inducer or Spiker or something.

Can't mention ability.
Sorry, my fault, should have lurked a little more about the CAP projects before posting. Anyway, it would just be Haze as an ability, and that wouldn't be anything really interesting even though it is useful.
Concept: Stat-Upper Counter
Description: A Pokemon that is able to counter many of the common stat-uppers of OU, such as Bulk Up Revanankh, Swords Dance Lucario, and Tail Glow Syclant, whether by typing, an ability such as Unaware, or use of moves like Psych Up, Heart Swap, or Punishment.
Explanation: I originally had an idea for a pokemon that would "counter" the opponent's statups (for example, as long as the opponent had +2 Attack, it would have +2 Defense) or that would reverse them (while it was in play, stat boosts would be equal drops, and drops would be boosts), but then I realized that these abilities might be too specific and/or broken.
EDIT: Neoplan's idea is sorta similar.

Uh, refer to the OP.
I was going to do this, but I didn't know exactly how to word it, so I went with the Guard Swap idea instead. If mine isn't accepted, I'll support this one
This is a great idea.
So far my favorites are this one, the Status user that was posted a while back (I can't find it =/ ), and, of course, my own.
