CAP 5 CAP 5 - Part 3 (Secondary Typing Poll 1)

1. Bug
2. Dragon

What can i say, I'm tired of the same old dragon designs. Flygon was sort of different, but look how much it gets used >.> All dragon Pokemon seem to have a certain lay-out that I'd love to see thrown out the window. And bug has some really bad 2nd typing associated with it/ Bug Flying and Poison are so overplayed. Why Fireants and Firelfies haven't been made into Fire and Electric bugs baffles me, while they give us Vesipquen (whom I actually really like. A defensive bug!....with a stupid SR weakness). Both could use some design breaking, which Rock would be great for.
 
1. Fighting
2. No secondary typing

Plain rock type with the sandstorm boost would be almost close enough to say it has resistance to most non super effective special attacks. Rock is just great stab as well. However, I dont think a plain rock type would be good enough. It needs something else, and fighting is probably it.
 
1. No secondary typing
2. Dragon

I this to be a plain rock type. Enough people have explained why, but i want to just because it means there are less molds to break. If there are any other types, I'm picking Dragon. Dragon has to work on its variety a bit, a specially oriented dragon would be cool (Salamence doesn't count).
 
1) No Secondary typing

It's about time we did a pure typing. I don't see many in the metagame except for Regirock.

2) Dragon

After a long thought, I felt that dragon was the typing to ensure that it does not outshine over rock. So there. (Oh yeah, 4x Fire Resistance woots!)

For ****s sake, can we not have premature counts going on by people who aren't the TL.

I swear to you if I ever become TL, I will make it my personal duty to report every single person who does this for infraction. It has already happened twice and we're only on the 4th poll.

NO, REALLY PEOPLE, DON'T POST PREMATURE COUNTS.
 
Well my bad. I will try not to annoy you guys again anyway, I think I'll go with the majority and go with

1. No secondary typing

2. Fighting
 
ground because every rock/ground so far has been a slow, defensively bulky and weak SpA.

and flying because nothing else really suits my interest, and gets rid of the ground weakness, which i think is nice.
 
Choice 1: Ground
Choice 2: No secondary type

Ground will still break the bold perfectly, and same goes for mono rock.
 
1. Ghost - Come on you know this'd be awesome, despite ghost itself won't be breaking molds much. Toge counter ftw

2. Psychic - similar to ghost, but psychic, yea

EDIT: why is there no love for ghost anymore, people were talkin about it in the last poll, ah well
 
1. Bug
Not enough OU offensive bugs, and its weakness/resistance list is probably the best there.

2. Dragon
It was really between ghost and dragon for me, but I felt like there are already enough special attacking ghosts. And for dragon you don't have one that has very high spatk and high speed besides the latis. So I'd like to see that if bug doesn't get picked.
 
I'm going to go for:

1. Ghost

I know, "special sweeper ghost" isn't exactly breaking the mold. This is why I think it's ghost moves should be kept to a minimum. This means NO SHADOW BALL, NO SHADOW CLAW, only defensive ghost moves.

2. No secondary typing


Rock has a lot of weaknesses. Pairing it up with other types yields 4x weaks. I think a pure rock sweeper would be cool too.
 
Choice 1: No secondary typing
Choice 2: Dragon

I really can't see any of the other types being useful for the Rock type Sp. Sweeper. This would be great too for breaking the mold as a secondary type could interfere with the Rock type.

If I'd have too pick though, I'd see Dragon as a good complement too Rock, making only Heatran resistent too its attacks, of course, Earth Power on this thing would solve it. Not giving Draco meteor too this thing would probably balance it, but I shouldn't go to Movesets yet though, since we're not in that stage.
 
Choice One: No Secondary Typing
Choice Two: Dragon

The reasons for no secondary typing have been said countless times so repeating them would be redundant. Dragon would just be an interesting type to use, since the main set of most dragons is a physical set (excluding kingdra which most uses it's water type, and is still used physically). But, no secondary type is definitely my top pick.

What if we want to know? What if we put them in whitetext? I'd be inclined to count for myself anyway.

I mean you're only telling us what a) we'd clearly know if it were a poll, b) we could figure out ourselves if we counted, c) doesn't really matter because people can tell what most people are voting for anyway, and d) doesn't hurt anybody who doesn't care. So it seems like a really silly think to get so freaking worked up about.

In any case.

1) No Secondary Typing
2) Ghost

If we're going to break the mold as a Rock type, we need to break the mold as a Rock type, not something that's a Rock type and is also something else. This, to me, is probably the most important thing that we'll need to get right throughout this entire CAP.

That said, Rock / Ghost would be really cool, it would open up the door for using types that have been used by CAPs before, and I really don't feel like voting for Normal.
 
1. Dragon - Neutralizes water and grass weaknesses, strengthens fire resistance. Also, the only dragon-types that have higher special attack than attack are Uber, so a special attacking dragon type would break the mold in OU

2. Ghost - See Mr Goodbar's post.
 
1. No secondary typing.

2. Dragon.

A pure rock special sweeper seems awesome, and as various others have stated, added another typing on the whole increases its weaknesses. What I'd love too see is either a really high special attack with decent moves, decent special attack with awesome moves or maybe some sort of ability to help with its lack of firepower given gem rock is its best stab move.

As a second choice, Dragon would be cool, given that most dragons are physical beats and usually rather bulky, allowing a rock / dragon to comfortably break the mold.
 
1. No Secondary Typing

2. Flying

I'd prefer this didn't have a secondary typing at all, if only because I don't want the rock typing to be overshadowed, which could easily be done if we give it "too good" of a secondary typing.

Flying is probably the best supliment to Rock, giving it an immunity to one of its weaknesses and neutralizing the Fighting type weakness, and as someone said earlier, only Steel resists Rock/Flying. This can easily be remedied by a Fire attack or a Ground attack. (Flamethrower/Earth Power anyone?)
 
1: Normal
2: Dragon

Normal is a nice "bonus" type, rather than having no secondary typing. It adds an always helpful immunity and gives a 4x Fighting weakness. If this thing's leaning towards special sweeping then it's not going to be taking many supereffective hits anyway, so a 4x shouldn't make too much difference.

Failing that, a Rock Dragon would be awesome, if only for the artwork.
 
My first choice is

1. No secondary typing

This will break the mold even better.

My second choice is

2. Flying

Flying has always been a secondary type anyway, never a primary type.
 
1) No secondary typing
2) Fighting

Actually... I dun like having it a secondary type so I said the type combination I'd like to see the most.
