bramble

 

[Bughouse]

yea that's a good point - naming stage will be taking place in the art thread once we have a design. thought it might be a good idea to know what it looks like first. good question, though!

Can you post what everything about the CAP is so far before we vote on the art

 

[Adam3560]

SCAP1 SO FAR

Concept:

Concept Name: horse
Description: we make a horse
Justification: it's no secret that the viability of mono-horse builds has drastically fallen off in recent memory. this approach of making a horse would let us explore the trends responsible for the downturn in this classic archetype, ultimately furthering our understanding of the metagame as we aim to return mono-horse back to its glory days.
Questions to be answered:
- how big should the horse be
- is it good or evil ?
- can we ride it
- what is the horses name, i think it should be bramble

can we also add attract, swagger, sleep talk, facade, hidden power and protect to the movepool of our HORSE? those are pretty much universal TM moves and I wouldn't want our HORSE to feel left out and sad :(

regrettably, the democratic process excluded these moves. i think horsemon will have lots of friends to make it feel better and be jealous of its ability to do lots of high horsepowering, if that helps.

I don't know what the move anthrax is, but the real life anthrax is pretty bad; no way a good horse would have any serious diseases.
I vote we make this horse evil and call it Sir Dancelot

 

[VTaxi]

So, what if this horse was actually the horse that Spectrier/Glastrier came from? We need some lore. Lore is important.

Yeah we can have a dex entry

How big should the horse be?
About size, I personally think the horse should either be as big as a normal horse or exaggeratedly long, Long Starlight style.

this question was originally just a joke, but for what it's worth the TL traditionally decides height and weight for a CAP upon its release (and also the gender ratio i believe)

Is it good or evil?
I agree with Adam3560 (post #512) that a good horse would not have Anthrax since it's pretty well-cared for. Since the only options are Good and Evil, we will go with Evil.

Can we ride it?
Sorry to say this, but Poke Ride does not exist in Gen 8.

What is the horses name? I think it should be Bramble
We'll decide on our horsey's name when this poll is settled.

Long essay about Anthrax, do not read

Which is why I believe the Anthrax concept needs to be reworked. Having a (presumably) legendary horse with godly base stats, an almost unstoppable Toxic, and other high BP moves makes it only weak to ghost types, meaning almost every team in the Ubers tier has to run a ghost type of they might get trampled (haha get it) by this horsey.
Would you want our horsey to be the next AG banworthy mon? IDK

Thankfully, the least broken and most balanced stat spread won, so our horse won't be banned to AG. It's gonna have a Dracovish-esque reputation; their stats are not that broken, but their moves made them Uber-worthy (though arguably this is more broken than Vish since horsey has higher stats and Dracovish needing a choice scarf)

My idea is that Anthrax is the same thing as Toxic except it lowers the foe's Def and Sp. Def and can kill Poison/Steel types. It will make Toxapex (and pretty much any other wall) vulnerable to our Horse.

To be exact, Anthrax multiplies the foe's Def and Sp. Def by 0.7x. Not too OP, horsey needs one less hit to kill Pex, but still significant to turn a few 2HKOs into OHKOs. What to do with Aromatherapy and Heal Bell clerics you ask? It's a necessary drawback.

Cool. We have no established TL though. Maybe Total Clefairy, maker of this thread, could count as one.
