When voting, use only the ability! The list of possible votes include:
- Download: There's a solid amount of room to explore this without making an overpowered mon. This ability would allow for a fairly intriguing stats stage, especially with regards to balancing physical vs special biases and their level of effectiveness against various threats in the meta. Its potential to fulfill various functions within a team means that the remainder of the process can be unimpeded by its selection with regards to the roles this mon fulfills and the playstyles it can most effectively fit.
- Filter: As was stated on the preliminary slate, Filter's boosts to our defenses can be used to bolster a fairly wide variety of playstyles. As was shown by mons like Necrozma, the damage reduction afforded by Filter can be highly effective in supporting offensive sets, while Filter's inherent qualities are highly beneficial to defensive sets. There's a solid number of routes we can take with this ability, and a general reduction to super-effective damage gives us a good bit of room to work with regardless of which role we choose to fulfill.
- Poison Touch: There's a good bit of design space that can be used with regards to buffing already potent contact moves, while also adding a punishing factor to a good chunk of moves that might be underutilized otherwise. Standard poisoning as a status condition can be highly effective in terms of wearing down various checks and counters for either this mon or anything on the rest of the user's team, and the synergy it can provide for different breakers and sweepers allows this mon to generally have an opportunity to be effective in any game.
- Simple: The way Simple affects a movepool gives us a ton of room to work with in order to bolster one form's offensive strategies while also not necessarily impacting how the other form operates. There are a good few boosting moves that have been incredibly under-explored, and the opportunity to do so while not impeding upon our other form can lead to some very interesting discussions.
- Stamina: Although the boost this ability gives to our physical defense might suggest one particular route, the general addition to our bulk and the wide variety of moves that trigger this effect allot us a decent bit of room to fulfill the concept. With physical hits being generally good in the meta there's a lot to be gained from this ability, without necessarily targeting any specific mon. The potential to be highly flexible in our actualization of the concept with Stamina would be beneficial to both an enjoyable process and an effective mon upon final release.
- Tinted Lens: To again repeat from the preliminary slate, being able to break through would-be checks and counters on the basis of typing alone allots us a good bit of room to explore typing/move combinations that have yet to prove themselves effective in the meta. Compressing moveslots on a defensive mon is also a really intriguing route to take, so our role isn't necessarily defined on the basis of ability alone.
This poll will be open for 24 hours.

A typical vote might look like the following:
CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.
- The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
- Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
- Only one option per line.
- The spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed above.
- Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
