Before you vote, it's important that you read through each concept carefully, as well as look at our TL's, Wulfanator, final post in the concept submissions thread with their justification for each that made the slate because this concept will guide the discussion for the rest of the CAP Process. This is linked here.

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 fully.

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 below.
  • 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. 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.

IMPORTANT: When voting, use only the exact name of the concept submissions as listed below! The concept submissions are quoted below in order of submission:

Role Compress to Impress
Name: Role Compress to Impress

Description: Both forms embody the term 'role compression' by fulfilling a range of roles that teams commonly require.
Get It How You Want It
Name: Get It How You Want It

Description: Both formes can provide the same utility effectively, but each forme differs in the methods that they can provide the utility and what Pokemon it may affect.
Young God
Name: Young God

Description: Take a lower-tier Pokemon that has an interesting CAP niche but generally has no hope in any serious CAP tournament setting, and come up with two ways to "fix it", retaining its niche and general "intent" while also making it CAP-viable.
Optimized Ability
Name: Optimized Ability
Description: This CAP would seek to utilize one or more Abilities which are, at face value, competitively viable, but which are only found on unviable or excessively niche Pokémon, or are paired with objectively better Abilities. The goal is to explore how these Abilities could impact the metagame if they were properly utilized.
Combo Maker / Breaker
Name - Combo Maker / Breaker

Description - This Pokemon takes a multi-turn combo play, and is either optimized to prevent it or make it happen.
Anti-Synergy CAPs
Name: Anti-Synergy CAPs

Description: Each forme will explore a different way in which anti-synergy or contradictory elements manifest themselves in a Pokemon's design.
Once again, your options are:

Role Compress to Impress
Get It How You Want It
Young God
Optimized Ability
Combo Maker / Breaker
Anti-Synergy CAPs


Please ensure your ballot uses the concept names listed above in bold and not the usernames of the submitters. This vote will end in 24 hours, so please do not feel rushed, and instead ensure you make an informed decision!

Very boring slate. If optimized ability wins, I’m pushing for Stakeout.
