CAP 36 So far

Welcome to the typing poll for CAP 36.

Here's kenn's rationale for his slate.
Fire/Steel --> Fire/Ice
This one is fairly obvious as to why it is a contender but also as to why I enjoy it so much. Fire/Ice is fantastic 2 STAB coverage while Steel provides amazing defensive utility without the draw of wanting/needing the STAB since Fire covers most of what it would want to hit.

Water/Ground --> Water/Ice
Another fantastic 3 type combo as most Water-types have access to Ice coverage anyways and gaining it as STAB is key to potentially nail some threats and being on the cleaner form allows to fire off some powerful Hydro Pumps or Ice Beams with ease.

Fire/Flying --> Fire/Ground
This one may look a bit backwards at first, but it's a fantastic combination. While it does shoehorn 36 a bit into forcing Boots as the item, due to the initial 4x weakness to SR, it can more easily swap to its offensive form for the defensive capability of blanking Electric-type moves and gaining a powerful STAB in the process. And as many pointed out, Moltres has proven just how potent Fire/Flying can be defensively

Grass/Steel --> Grass/Fire
As many know, Ferrothorn has proven just how defensive Grass/Steel can be and, in a similar way to the Fire/Steel --> Ice, it isn't necessary to run a Steel STAB which gives the ability to have an extra coverage or STAB with the offensive behemoth typing that is Grass/Fire.

Flying/Fighting --> Flying/Ghost
Lastly, we are making Tomohawk 2.0 this typing capitalized on the unique resistances of the Fighting type paired with the offensive prowess of the Ghost type all while utilizing a Flying CAP Song to guarantee a transformation whenever necessary. Flying pairs well with both to help ease the pain of entry hazards and, thanks to being part Fighting type, in its base form it is only neutral to SR.

This is a ranked pairs poll. The order of your preferences DOES matter. You may rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible. A typical ballot might look like the following:
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
Etc.

Any comments would go below the votes in non-bold text.

All ballots will be revealed at the end of the poll and votes will be counted via automated scripts. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.
  • Do NOT bold anything other than the options you are voting for.
  • Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
  • Only one option per line.
  • Spellings must match EXACTLY the options listed below.
  • Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
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.

The voting options are:

Fire/Steel --> Fire/Ice
Water/Ground --> Water/Ice
Fire/Flying --> Fire/Ground
Grass/Steel --> Grass/Fire
Flying/Fighting --> Flying/Ghost

Those voting options without formatting:

Fire/Steel --> Fire/Ice
Water/Ground --> Water/Ice
Fire/Flying --> Fire/Ground
Grass/Steel --> Grass/Fire
Flying/Fighting --> Flying/Ghost

This poll will be open for 24 hours.

Please copy the above exactly and use copy/paste to rearrange. If your ballot doesn't match the options above exactly we'll have to edit it and that makes the mods tired.
