Welcome to the CAP OMs Megathread, a project to support and develop resources for the various CAP OMs!

CAP OMs are unique sub-metagames that result from combining the distinct traits of CAP gameplay with those of other formats. These formats encompass an array of Other Metagames (which you will find listed below) and extend to standard tiers like CAP Little Cup and CAP Monotype. If you're looking for a fresh take on teambuilding and new battling experiences, you should definitely give CAP OMs a try.

Given their nature as subsets of established metagames, CAP OMs don't feature ladders or official rankings/resources. As a result, matches are confined to personal challenges and room-hosted tournaments, and tiering decisions are made by councils composed of experienced players.

The purpose of this Megathread is to serve as a structured hub for CAP OMs and their player base. The CAP OMs this project currently supports include:
If you're looking to contribute to the maintenance of any of the OMs above or have a desire to introduce another CAP OM to the mix, please don't hesitate to fill out this form or reach out to me. You can get in touch through Smogon DMs or Discord (kennukem).

Please note that we also have a Discord server dedicated to CAP OMs discussions!

What is Monotype CAP?

Although CAP was originally meant to create a new OU-based metagame, it also brings a whole new dimension of competitive battling and teambuilding to Monotype. Adding CAP Pokemon to the Monotype metagame allows you to explore a multitude of new strategies, such as Sun on Grass or Trick Room on Ground, which can seriously impact certain matchups. If you're looking for a refreshing way to play CAP or Monotype, this is the OM for you!

Challenge code:
Code:
/challenge gen9monotype @@@ +cap, -crucibellite, -cawmodore, -heatrock, -fidgit, -hemogoblin

General Rules, Mechanics, and Usage Tips
  • You must build a team of six Pokemon sharing one common type and fight against teams with the same restriction. You are allowed to use Pokemon with dual-typing on a team represented by either type, but every other Pokemon must share at least one type with the dual-typed Pokemon.
  • Using six Pokemon of the same type can lead to some interesting team archetypes, and it challenges teambuilders to make sure the common weaknesses a certain type of Pokemon share are covered as best as possible. This metagame allows for all kinds of Pokemon to be viable against top threats, so be imaginative. As you play, you'll find many unique threats that aren't common in the CAP metagame.
  • The best Monotype players build and play a wide variety of types, using teams that capitalize on the strengths of an individual type. Forcing your favorite type into an archetype that it will struggle to pull off is a good way to lose matches and get frustrated!
  • For more general information on Monotype, feel free to check out the Monotype Subforum.

What is CAAAP?

Almost Any Ability (AAA) is a metagame that lives up to its name. Pokemon in this meta have access to "almost every ability" with the exception of a few that the council and the community deem broken or unhealthy for this metagame. With Almost Any Ability at the disposal for CAP Pokemon, you can take them to brand new heights with powerful abilities, or maybe even discover a brand new role that they might not be able to preform regularly.

General Rules, Mechanics, and Usage Tips
  • With the exception of some banned abilities, pokemon in this metagame can use Any Ability that is allowed. This includes even some of the most powerful abilities in the game, such as Regenerator, Magic Guard, and Adaptability. Be cautious on where you use these abilities however, as you can only use a certain type of ability only once per team, so no full Regenerator Spam teams.
  • Adding a customizable Ability adds a new wrinkle to team building and preparation, as not only does one have to customize the move sets, but now also the ability and what role it functions. As there are a lot of damage amplification and immunity abilities, it challenges the player to find not only the right Pokemon to check the powerful offensive threats, while also being able to deal with the potent defensive cores that Almost Any Ability provides.
  • The better Almost Any Ability teams use a wide variety of Pokemon with abilities that play to their strength such as Regenerator + Assault Vest Pokemon or Sword of Ruin Physical Attackers, so be sure to find the ability that can maximize their capabilities!

STABmons CAP has BANNED Arghonaut and Pajantom!

Arghonaut's Technician allows it to abuse STAB Surging Strikes + Aqua Jet, which is particularly deadly in the rain and leads to some pretty ridiculous KOs.

Pajantom's Comatose paired with a SleepTalk + Dragon Tail combo bypasses Dragon Tail's negative priority, forcing most foes out before they can make a move.

Godly Gift CAP has BANNED Hemogoblin and Pyroak!

Hemogoblin in the Attack slot is an absolute powerhouse that is capable of threatening most of the metagame. STAB priority from 135 base Attack hits very hard.

Pyroak becomes a menace when slotted in Speed, being able to spam Overheat to boost its Special Attack then use its wide coverage to outspeed and KO most foes.

I don't have the page yet, but with a new CAP OM comes new bans :quagchamppogsire:


MIX AND MEGA CAP has RESTRICTED Chromera and BANNED Vile Vial!

:chromera: is a VERY potent offensive pokemon, simple as. The way that it's balanced makes it a pain in metagames where it can change its normally useless ability in color change to something absolutely insane. One stone it runs particularly well is the altarianite, which is absolutely busted on it.

1702378498500.png


155 Spatk pixieburst with okay bulk and speed? It's nutty. Think AAA Scream tail on steroids. With great strength, Reliable Recovery, Good typing, its clearly very good



:vile_vial: is the signature item of :Venomicon:, turning it from its base form to its epilogue form. Usually, this stone turns it from a good physdef mon, into a fast physical attacker. The problem is when others hold it. The stone gives any mon into a demon, esp physical attackers like chien pao or landorus.

Hey guys, I know Mono CAP can be wild to new players, and also existing players on what the CAP mons can do. Which is why I thought it would be a good idea to have a Set Compendium for people who don't seem to know the Mons. So a huge shoutout to mada for making it. I added more to it in the process so hope this is a good resource for my fellow CAPPERS. :D

Shout out for Roxie for the original post in the Monotype OM Thread! Brought it over here so its more accessible for my fellow CAPPERS <3 added in some things that I saw missing as well :D

Welcome to the official SV CAP Monotype Viability Rankings! In Monotype, Pokemon are ranked based upon how viable they are relative to the other Pokemon you have available on a particular type. The Pokemon in A rank are more viable than those in B rank, but that does not mean B rank Pokemon aren't useful or have a valuable niche. Anything that is ranked must be usable and have some value that prevents it from being outclassed. Most Pokemon are placed into one of five different rankings: S, A, B, C, and D. Some Pokemon aren’t listed either because they are either completely outclassed or haven't been ranked yet. Pokemon are ranked separately for each type. Pokemon are ranked separately for each type. For example, Water teams (stall specifically) love having access to Lanturn's Volt Absorb to provide an extra Electric immunity, but Electric teams have limited interest in Lanturn because there are no needs/superior options for its niche; therefore Lanturn would be ranked separately for each type.

General / Write up Rules
  • Flaming will not be tolerated. Please respectfully debate each other's nominations.
  • Post smartly, don't just be like, "I like Miasmite, so it should be in S Tier!"
  • Include the Pokemon you're rating, the type, and what rank you want it to be.
  • Provide an explanation as to why you put it in that rank and how it fares in Monotype. (Why should it be ranked lower or higher?)
  • Please only nominate rank changes for Pokemon that you have direct experience using. Do not use theory or on-paper ideas.
Viability Ranking Slate / Council: These people will have the final say if a decision by the community cannot be reached or a Pokemon is completely misplaced. If you have any questions or need help, please PM / VM these people. (Give me Dark-type sprites)
