This thread is to discuss the first eleven CAPs in regards to the new CaP server and how they fit into the 5th generation. You may also discuss strategies, teams, movesets, and ask questions. Any new ideas or suggestions can be brought up as well.
To keep in mind:
To start, I battled ete in a small tourney a little bit ago (and lost). Pyroak is an excellent contender when the sun is out (provided by Ninetales). I also think that the rise of Chansey being used in the 5th Gen over Blissey can be taken advantage of by Kitsunoh. Since Chansey must pretty much rely on Seismic Toss for direct damage, Kitsonuh avoids getting hit. Its Steel typing makes it immune to Toxic, while Limber grants immunity to Thunder Wave. To top it all off, Taunt will shut down any other moves she may try. The only problem is that Kitsunoh has no real way of damaging Chansey hard with an attack of its own, but at least it could fullfill its concept a bit and force a switch to reveal another opposing team member.
*EDIT*
Mistake about saying the Kitsunoh can't hit Chansey. It can with Superpower. I thought it had the move, but when I checked its page, I guess I must have missed it. With the Attack drop, it's not completely reliable for another hit (since Chansey is so bulky now).
To keep in mind:
- We are not updating the current 11 CAPs to fit in with the 5th Gen. As stated before, they are "4th Gen anchored" Pokemon. We spent a long time dwelling on how they would fit into that period and how we'd learn from it. Shoehorning new moves and abilities to fit in wouldn't make much sense and alter their original concepts/goals.
- This is not a thread to post any new ideas for CAPs obviously. Same with any new custom moves, abilities, or changes to existing ones.
- As of right now, not all changes to the server have been made. Rising_Dusk is working diligently on updating it different areas. Some custom moves and abilities still need to be programmed for example. So, not all strategies you may think of may be practiced at this current state. You can theorize of course, as long as it doesn't have to do about making any changes to the CAPs.
