my predictions for the season + odds

5:1 Sae Sae gets haxed out of every battle

Nah fren considering the ridiculousness of the hax last year like the double freeze on the same turn, odds should be higher like 10:1 lol

Good thing I stole fellow friend hax queen Anttya's hax recently. Hopefully it'll remain for the tour :p

Looking forward to seeing the development of CAP Mono though.

 

[Exclaimer]

50:1 Exclaimer makes a good post in this thread

I already did, it's called the OP

I predict that I'll be paired against either QueenOfLuvdiscs , gday , or jas61292 and win by a large margin, and simultaneously lose against Youngster Mewking twice in a row, against the same team

 

[HeaLnDeaL]

I just would like to announce that I will be holding "tryouts" for the Mighty Morphin' Mollux Rangers from now until the auction. If you want to prove to me for whatever reason that you're worthy of my fake auction money, then just PM me on PS or here on Smogon and we'll work out a time for me to fite you or make a tour or just watch you while you ladder or something.

The other CAPtains might be doing this too, but idk. Asking probably won't hurt though. I hope.

All I have to say.

 

[sparktrain]

Oh yeah, I'll be holding tryouts for the nects on PS whenever. Shoot me a PM when I'm on and we'll go from there.

 

[jas61292]

3:1 jas61292 is drafted for some ridiculously high amount

I'd like to think no one will be as insane as last year. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it.

See what happens when you can sabotage the enemy with snakes? You become very...valuable.

Friendly advisory:

If the other CAPtains are so foolish as to not pick you up, there's a reason we're called the Scrub team.

Because we're going to CLEAN UP all the fools who doubted us. :)

1. Rip origin and the CAP formats on that server. Main till the end it seems. (Rip my global voice there as ;-;)
2. Should I try out for Heal's team or Animus's team? hmm
3. Amitghosh will win the most matches, and you all know it, so be prepared to lose
4. Bold prediction: cbrevan will win no matches. This will be because bre loves salad too much, and will spend too much time focusing on salad instead of battling

[Take Azelfie]

Sparktrain is a fraud, HeaL DIDN'T draft boxofkangaroos

 

[Sae]

HeaLnDeaL Animus Majulous jas61292 and not even sure who else to tag, but can we ban Cawmodore from CAP Mono? Monotype already has bans on Talonflame, and Cawmodore is even more destructive than that on over half the types.

Not sure what else would be close to ban worthy cause it's too dominating and centralizing a force. Scpinion said he'd implement it on the Mono side if it gets approved by you guys. We don't have a dedicated Mono CAP thread so I'm guessing you guys are in charge.

Anttya there you happy, one less broken bird for you to abuse.

 

[Chras]

Ban captain bird imo

 

[Deck Knight]

Ban captain bird imo

Going to agree with this. Even for types like Ground that aren't specifically weak to any of Cawm's attacks, unless every single mon runs Roar or Fire coverage, the standard Cawm set is going to annihilate them. Even things like Gliscor and Steelix can't deal with Cawm fast enough if they have to switch in. Both of Cawm's types have access to numerous Stealth Rock users to mitigate Sturdy Roars and the like, and Steel and Flying are both so inherently strong (Steel is bulky attacker w/ passive damage resistance city) or diverse (Flying BARELY qualifies as a mono-typing at all it has so many viable combinant Pokemon - oh btw. Cawm adds an Elec immune to Flying mono teams that doesn't get instakilled by Ice Beam).

If Mega-Meta and Talonflame are banned in Mono, something like Cawm should be tossed on principle.

 

[NumberCruncher]

Agreed. For mono, Captain Caw should be removed.

 

[sparktrain]

For those of you that missed the news (myself included, apparently), Cawmodore is banned from CAP Monotype.

edit: SINCE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME FOR SOME REASON, CAWMODORE IS NOT BANNED FROM THE CAP METAGAME

just monotype

 

[Arcade]

And they rejoiced, for it was good.
