Discuss the possible abilities for CAP 9. Select abilities based on the stat spread, BSR, typing, and everything else we have done so far.
Style Bias: Somewhat offensive (0-20)
Build Bias: Physical (20 to infinity)
Stat Rating: Excellent (420-579)
The Rules:
Little Sidenote: I opened up Stat Spread with ability so people wouldn't choose an ability that would affect the stat spread, or a stat spread that would affect an ability. I encourage people to bring up points about stat spreads and how it could affect ability, as I have opened up that thread already. It's not polljumping in that regard.
Keep it clean! This part of CAP 9 is IMO the most important.
Typing: Dark/Groundmoi said:Name: Stop the Secondary
Description: A Pokémon that through means of ability, moves, and typing, can stop a variety of the non damaging affect of moves and moves of non damaging origin.
Justification: While the immediate threat of damaging moves is large and present, the affect of moves such as status, Trick, Leech Seed, Taunt, Stealth Rock, Spikes have arguably had a greater affect to the metagame than anything has ever had, something that this would greatly look in to.
Questions to be Answered:
~ How easily would a Pokémon with such large of a niche be able to fit into a competitive team?
~ How large of an impact would the reducation of non damaging affects and moves have on the metagame?- What, if any, would happen to the types of teams being used?~ How much of an affect does typing have on the ability for ANY Pokémon to perform this duty?
- How would this affect the usage of these types of moves?

The Rules:
- Do not polljump. I'm almost done saying this, guys. All we need done now is movepool, and then our cap is complete competitively. You've done a good job so far, so remember to keep the discussion to strictly ability. Suggesting that there are possibilities that CAP 9 got x move is fine, but suggesting that it should get x move is not.
- Threadhogging -- don't do it. What I said in the Secondary Typing Poll applies here even more. Get your point across, defend it, and move on. I shouldn't see the same people posting the same shit over and over again.
- Keep the convo fresh. Don't discuss the same thing over and over again. If you have something new to post, post it. If not, think a little bit harder on your post, and make sure you are not threadhogging. In other words,
bandwagoning.
- If you're going to submit a custom ability, back it up with justification. Don't just suggest one. Explain why we should make a new ability, what it has to offer for the concept/metagame, and why an already existing ability can't perform adequately.
