This will be a Ranked Pairs vote (RP) (a form of voting where each candidate is ranked according to head to head matchups with each of its competitors in a directed acyclic graph), the details of which were discussed
here.
This is a ranked vote: order does matter! You can upvote your favorites and downvote your least favorites. You may choose to rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible to ensure your preferences are taken into account.
Bold your votes and nothing else!
A typical vote might look like the following:
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
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.
Composing a proper ballot is easy. Enter BBCode Edit Mode (the A in the upper right corner). Copy/paste the options directly from the OP to your ballot as plain unbolded text. Delete and/or rearrange the options to suit your preference and the poll type. Bold your vote text using bold tags or re-enter rich text mode, highlight your vote and click B. Spelling or formatting errors may spoil your ballot, so be careful!
Please post only your votes in this thread. Do not respond to other posts, or your posts will be moderated and you may be warned. You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to the PS! CAP chatroom or the CAP Discord channel.
Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.
Your options are:
Falchion
Jumbao, the Longevity Pokémon
Sun: It is protected by bark as thick and tough as steel. Supposedly, if left to its own devices, it can live for over 30,000 years.
Moon: This calm, honorable, and very heavy Pokémon will refuse to fight anybody weaker than itself. Bird Pokémon frequently rest in its branches for protection.
Ultra Sun: Its trunk stores huge amounts of water to see through the dry season. If threatened, it will spray its sticky sap with devastating force.
Ultra Moon: Wherever Jumbao settles down, it creates a beautiful garden which it defends with its life. With four powerful roots, it's much faster than it looks.
Prototypetrainer
Jumbao, the Big Tree Pokemon
Sun: This species of Pokemon stays idle all night to preserve energy. However, in the daytime, it lumbers around its habitat searching for people it can help.
Moon: Jumbao can survive days without water due to the massive amounts of water it stores inside itself. However, it can still run as fast as Haxorus and vastly outpowers it.
Ultra Moon: This peaceful species of Pokemon spends most of its life staying still so as to preserve the energy it needs to move around, leading people to not be able to detect them.
Ultra Sun: Jumbao dislike to brawl with other species of Pokemon. However, if needed to, it will throw its weight around to show its superiority.
Reiga
Jumbao, the Giga Tree Pokemon
Sun: Jumbao use their sizable build to attack with sumo-like moves. They usually spar against each other but once in a while train with Hariyama.
Moon: The tighter the grip on its sash, the richer in vitality Jumbao is. When it perishes, the sash loosens away and flies into the wind.
Ultra Sun: From their arms, Jumbao pump out a sweet sap with enough force to dent a cruiser. It's apparently great for curing ailments, though.
Ultra Moon: Jumbao can live for over 1000 years, earning them the title as 'Beings of Life'. Many believe just being around one leaves one feeling revitalized.
Origin0

Ultra Moon: After the sun sets, Jumbao engage in friendly sumo wrestling competitions with one another. They can sense the presence of other Jumbao, so darkness doesn't inhibit their nighttime activities.
Okamu
Jumbao, the Spirit Tree Pokemon
Sun: Their good nature causes them to aid weary desert travelers with water and fruit. Healthier adventurers receive dance performances.
Moon: Jumbao's flowers only bloom at night. The pink sap it shoots from its cannon-like arms is thought to be what gives these flowers their healing properties.
Ultra Sun: Jumbao's trunk is so large that native Alolans developed a saying about it: 'Friendship is like a Jumbao, nobody can embrace it alone.'
Ultra Moon: Its white roots can sense the life force of others. This power is strengthened through shoving matches with other Jumbao.
