Through this series of polls, we'll be voting as a community on which concept we'd like to pursue for CAP 26. Make sure to read through each concept thoroughly; it is imperative that you understand what you're voting for here. Our slate of six concepts was chosen by our Topic Leader, SHSP, from the Concept Submissions thread.
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:

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.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.
- 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.

The Future is Bright!
Name - The Future is Bright!
Description - A Pokemon that makes usage of the 'delayed-attack' moves - Future Sight and/or Doom Desire
Justification - Given we're attempting to create a Pokemon that uses one of two specific moves, this is an Actualisation concept. Future Sight and Doom Desire are incredibly unique moves, which see limited usage in spite of their high base power, and ability to have a target Pokemon struck twice in the same turn. In using CAP26, the aim is to create a Pokemon that inspires a feeling of being able to trap opponents, to establish win-win situations.
Questions To Be Answered -
- One Pokemon which has been seen to fairly reliably use Future Sight is Slowking. What can we learn from Slowking about what makes a viable user of Future Sight? On the same token, what has led Jirachi to not be effective at using Doom Desire, and other Pokemon to not effectively use Future Sight?
- What is the optimum usage of Future Sight/Doom Desire, both on the turn immediately after using the move, and the turn on which the move will land?
- Should the user of Future Sight/Doom Desire be primarily helping itself, or other teammates. If helping itself, what is the aim? If helping teammates, then what types of teammate?
- Are Z-Future Sight and Z-Doom Desire mandatory, or just useful tools?
I don't like pebbles and caltrops.
Name: I don't like pebbles and caltrops.
Description: A Pokemon that is able to deter hazards in some way.
Justification: This is a Target concept, because it is supposed to (partially) decentralize the metagame that is currently heavily based around stacking hazards.
Questions To Be Answered:
- How can we make CAP 26 stand out from the plethora of other hazard control options?
- What method will CAP 26 use to deter hazards?
- How do we make sure that CAP 26 does not get an overbearing grip over the hazards game?
King of the Drops
-----
- Name - King of the Drops
- Description - A Pokemon that abuses stat drops, either by lowering the opponent's stats or by taking advantage of it's own drops.
- Justification - This concept fits into the Actualization category because it aims to learn about the underutilized stat drops. It will likely have multiple options to abuse stat drops, giving it the option to help it's teammates or directly benefit itself.
- Questions To Be Answered:
- How much effect does stat-lowering have on an opponent?
- How can we make CAP 26 a viable abuser of stat-lowering moves?
- Why are moves that lower stats so uncommon?
- Can a Pokemon remain effective when it's stats are lowered?
