CAP 38 So Far

-----

Hi, welcome to CAP38 Typing Poll. Before you vote, I highly recommend reading our Typing Leader AzothBend's rationale for each type on the slate:

AzothBend said:
This isn't my favorite submission, admittedly. I do worry with how droppable either STAB type is. But it's hard to argue that this doesn't have broad support and meets all the criteria.

Lumping these two together as the Fighting-type combos that patch up a resistance, in Fairy and Ghost, respectively. Unfortunately for the latter submission, I do think Fighting/Poison + Ghost is superior offensively and defensively.

AzothBend said:
These two are paired for obvious reasons. There's very little reason to justify running Steel STAB, but it is there. What really puts this over the top for me is it embodies the "resilience against a relevant form of passive damage" goal, with a Paralysis and Poison immunity and Stealth Rock resist. That wasn't a top priority from CA, but I reckon it does warrant an option on the slate if folks want to pursue it.

AzothBend said:
This pairing is maybe less obvious, but these two submissions are doing similar things offensively, leveraging Grass-type's threat into many top meta Pokemon. The defensive strengths of the former allow it to slightly edge out the latter, but a case could be made either way.

We've plenty of examples of Pokemon in the past and present that showcase why this submission would work well. I don't really have any qualms with it.

:water::ground:
AzothBend said:
Good type combination with a notable gap into one of the premier meta threats, which allows for one of the stranger uses of Poison as a coverage type. While CAP is saturated with good Water and Ground-types, this does sit in a nice intersection between them and could yet carve out a niche against its more generally defensive brethren.

:grass::fighting:
AzothBend said:
Grass / Fighting received some late support from the community that I should not ignore. It also, notably, is the only Ground-type resist on the slate. Given the abundance of that type in the CAP metagame, I am willing to slate it here as an option. Part of my concern was having a trifecta of Grass / Poison, Grass / Fighting, and Fighting / Poison on the same slate, and how they may impact one another. Grass/Poison's place was never under question, and I retain Poison / Fighting's unique profile earns it a consideration. Thus, I leave it to you, the voters, to decide which is most deserving.

:electric::bug:
AzothBend said:
The second new entrant is a much simpler case. Electric / Bug gained something akin to a cult following. I still harbor some doubts about a Stealth Rock weakness, but it utilizes the Bug-type in otherwise unique ways. Electric-type is also great candidate here with its offensive profile and Paralysis immunity. I'm willing to give voters the option of pursuing a hazards-weak option, if they'd like.

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.
