WIP Name: Timeless Description: This Pokemon should be able to succeed regardless of metagame-specific factors. Justification: Pokemon history is full of Pokemon that have thrived in certain metagames only to fall off a cliff as tides turn against them. There is a much smaller club of Pokemon...

Final Submission Mansamund Mansa Musa + diamond + mound Pronounced: MAHN-suh-muhnd Mansa Musa felt like a perfect thematic tie-in, being the classic example of an opulent desert king with strong ties to camels and caravans. The spelling of -mund versus -mond makes the pronunciation clearer...

WIP (1/2) Mansamund Mansa Musa + diamond + mound (of earth, or the humps on its back) Pronounced MAHN-suh-muhnd WIP (2/2) Paravan Paragon (a large, "perfect" diamond) + caravan Pronounced PAIR-uh-van What I've learned from coming up with names is that "camel" is not a remotely...

It's a train wreck, but a strangely beautiful one. Shuca Berry Surf Raichu is going to be fun for the kids trying to blindly Earthquake it. We didn't get to see much of the rest of the fight, but an Ambipom that does more than just spam Shock Wave is less terrible than before (seriously, its...

I've been lurking CAP for a while, but the stat stage has always been my favorite, so I wanted to contribute and put my thoughts in. 1. What are some stat-related trends among other viable CM sweepers that we can use to inform CAP29? I've been noticing a lot of people argue that since the...

WIP Bombadrake Bombardier + drake Pronounced: BOM-buh-drake Gen 8 Pokemon oftentimes have simple portmanteau names (Centiskorch, Corviknight, Sinistea, etc). As such, I think a simple name is best.

Discussion right now seems to be going in circles about which of the crit abilities to give CAPf, so I'm going to try and revitalize conversation on CAPw. In my opinion, its ideal ability is the seemingly-undiscussed Marvel Scale. Marvel Scale is among the most pro-concept abilities we can give...

Name – The Many Faces of Momentum Description – These Pokemon each utilize a different aspect of momentum to succeed in the metagame. Justification – This is an Archetype concept that explores how Pokemon gain, lose, and exploit momentum and how that affects the course of a game. Questions To Be...

Name: Altered Type Effectiveness Description: This Pokemon has a signature move with different type effectiveness than regular moves of its type. Explanation: We already have examples of moves that do this - the most prominent one is Zygarde's signature Thousand Arrows, which single-handedly...

Everyone's talking about S-/A+ right now, but I'm going to focus this post on the rank below it. I fully support the earlier nominations of Gliscor and Mega Lati@s to A for the reasons people have already brought up, but if those changes are implemented A rank begins to look rather bloated...

I disagree with this and in fact question whether or not it even deserves to be ranked. Yeah, Clefable and Torn rising are points in its favor, but even more shifts are hurting it. Lando-T + Steel (Magearna, Celesteela, Heatran, Ferro, etc) is increasingly becoming the backbone of bulky offenses...

Forgive me if I'm missing something here since I have not been on Smogon in a long time, but I don't see why we should constrain ourselves to only nomming things to move one sub-rank if there is a case to be made that such a move doesn't accurately reflect its viability. I understand not wanting...

Nominating Rotom-W to B-/C+ When you look at B+ right now, everything pretty much makes sense except this guy. Seriously, what does it do? It rose from early USUM hype about getting Defog, but the problem with that is that a bunch of infinitely better stuff also got Defog (though it fills a...
