The CAP metagame is a twisted place, with players using several Pokemon or sets that are bad, outclassed, or outright fail to do their jobs in battles like parafusion Krilowatt, Galvantula, and Voodoom. This thread is for you to discuss which Pokemon or sets are bad or outclassed, why these Pokemon or sets are bad or outclassed, and which Pokemon or sets can do a similar job in a much better way.
Here's how to format:
Don't use:
Cawmodore @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb/Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Belly Drum
- Drill Peck
- Drain Punch
- Bullet Punch
Sure, Drill Peck may be stronger than Acrobatics before you consume your Sitrus Berry, but that extra power still can't do that much damage. Cawmodore has lackluster Attack prior to a Belly Drum, meaning you will get walled by a ton of physical walls in the metagame. 30% usage on a weak move is just proof that some people aren't using Cawmodore to its full sweeping potential.
Use this instead:
Cawmodore @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb/Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Belly Drum
- Acrobatics
- Drain Punch
- Bullet Punch
Considering that you'll be using Belly Drum, which takes away half your health, why not use that using of your Sitrus Berry to your advantage and have a move that is more powerful with no item? Cawmodore isn't meant to be used early game anyway, so why bother with a move that can't do that much damage even after a Belly Drum? Make sure that checks like Aegislash, Skarmory, and Cyclohm are taken out before trying to sweep, and you will understand Cawmodore's full potential as a sweeper.
Rules:
-Don't use this thread just to bash certain Pokemon.
-Don't post obviously bad examples, such as Electivire or physical Cyclohm.
-Try to refrain from posting about a Pokemon if it isn't receiving much usage in CAP at the moment, since the purpose of this thread is to inform about bad or outclassed Pokemon or sets that get more usage than they deserve.
-Please stay on topic.
-Make sure to back up your arguments with relevant information. As in more than just a sentence or two.
