Typing: Dark/GroundName: Stop the Secondary
Description: A Pokémon that through means of ability, moves, and typing, can stop a variety of the non damaging affect of moves and moves of non damaging origin.
Justification: While the immediate threat of damaging moves is large and present, the affect of moves such as status, Trick, Leech Seed, Taunt, Stealth Rock, Spikes have arguably had a greater affect to the metagame than anything has ever had, something that this would greatly look in to.
Questions to be Answered:
~ How easily would a Pokémon with such large of a niche be able to fit into a competitive team?
~ How large of an impact would the reducation of non damaging affects and moves have on the metagame?- What, if any, would happen to the types of teams being used?~ How much of an affect does typing have on the ability for ANY Pokémon to perform this duty?
- How would this affect the usage of these types of moves?
Ability: Auto-Magic Coat
Ability: Guts
Stat Spread: 133/122/72/71/72/95
Allowed Attacking Moves:
Drill Peck, Aqua Tail, Zen Headbutt, Ice Fang, Fire Blast, Thunder Fang, U-turn, Ice Shard, Crunch, Megahorn, Seed Bomb, Earthquake, Pursuit, Fire Fang, Selfdestruct, Stone Edge, Focus Punch, Sucker Punch, Superpower
It's movepool time. Before we rush into making movepools, we're going into Non-Attacking Moves Discussion. To those of you new to CAP, simply suggest and discuss moves WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS NOT FOR OFFENSE for this CAP. An attacking move is classified as a move that does primary damage as its main effect, which does not mean Rapid Spin, Knock off etc.
Moves suggested will be put into the following categories. Allowed means that the moves suggested will be allowed for the movepool. Pending is simply a group for moves that have not been discussed that can sway into either group. Disallowed is for moves that are broken or detract from the CAP. Controversial is for moves that might or might not be broken. Moves in this group will be in a poll in which we decide what moves are allowed, and what moves are not.

The Rules
- The list of moves in this post will serve as the single point-of-reference for the current state of the discussion.
- Post arguments for moves to be Allowed or Disallowed from the Pokemon's final movepool. All posts should be presented with reasoning.
- Posting lists of moves is strictly prohibited. Do not copy the TL's list, and then add "Yes/No" or a similarly worthless comment, beside each one. Posts that contain lists of moves will be deleted, even if the post contains additional reasoning and content.
- The Topic Leader will update the list continuously throughout the discussion, using recent posts to determine changes to the move list. Moves may have a fluctuating status as the community debates for or against the move in response to changes in the OP.
- Posts should be based on the current state of the list in the OP. It is the responsibility of each member to check the OP before making any post in the thread. Posts that demonstrate lack of familiarity with the current OP will be deleted.
- The Topic Leader is the sole arbiter for determining "general community consensus". The TL may ignore arguments for or against certain moves, if they feel the argument is not presented with sufficient evidence or reasoning. Do not assume that the existence of a few dissenting posts will ensure that a move will be categorized as Controversial.
- All moves that are considered Competitive for this Pokemon are included in the list in the OP. Non-Competitive moves should not be discussed in this thread, unless you feel they are incorrectly categorized and should be considered Competitive (see next rule).
- If you disagree with the TL's categorization of a move as Competitive or Non-Competitive, you can post arguments in this thread, but reasoning must be supplied.
Please only post moves you think are controversial.
