Yo, I forgot to sign up. HGTL quz

Sunday Gaming? US EST aka -4

Sorta agree, and my updated proposal is: 1) Create a list of Implied Moves Universal STABs by typing Universal Utility by typing 2) Defining moves should be moves that require major changes to stat spreads Rare STABs Exceptional Utility Boosting Exceptional Coverage To sorta explain 2), as...

Hey, so to celebrate the release of our newest CAP, Hemogoblin, we're going to be holding an impromptu ladder challenge. Rules are pretty simple: Create a new alt with the prefix HGTL, and get as high as you can in 1 week's time. Whoever does that gets the ^ rank for the month of June, as well...

Yo, NUPL. Sunday gaming? US EST aka -4.

Now that home is dropped, its time to make a meta announcement. :walking wake: The Council has decided to free binacle pinnacle Walking Wake from the banlist. While the mon still does hit like a truck, we felt that Walking Wake deserved another chance at CAP success, as the power level in the...

Given the proximity to home dropping, and the difficulty it would be to get this analysis QC checked (I think I'd need 2 revisions atp), I think its best to shelve this analysis and start afresh after pokemon home.

If the opponent stays in it struggles to really do acceptable damage to opponents, to the point that it fails to threaten "heavy" damage to pokemon that aren't really known for great physical bulk. Makes Mabo very prediction reliant for when it can get in, as well as very weak to a well timed...

Few thoughts. Morning sun is probably our best recovery option. Our typing makes it very easy for us to switch into just about any Jumbao set, especially tera-fire drought sets, and having boosted recovery due to sun is a legitimately very good benefit for us. This benefits both facing Jumbao...

Breaker (Special) Boomburst Fire Blast Volt Switch Extreme Speed / Spikes / Thunder Choice Specs Don't really care enough to provide evs; expect fully offensive frail evs here. This is a very self-explanatory set. You click very high BP moves, and everything except for bulky resists gets...

NUPL Free Evenings Would prefer later in the week (Thurs/Fri) US EST

Nope, otherwise Baton Pass would still be legal and we'd just ban <Tremendous Number of Pokemon>. The main reason you can't eg ban Gorilla Tactics or Last Respects before now is that its impossible to isolate a move/ability from a single mon's other aspects. Darm-G may be broken by Gtactics, but...

The general rule I've seen with stuff like that is if you can show a move/ability breaks at least 2 mons, then you can argue banning said move/ability. If Last Respects is shown to break Hound, and both Basculegions, its a pretty easy case to ban it. I don't have an official ruling on this, and...

So, we recently went through the second major discussion of whether to allow for incredibly high weight stat spreads in order to make Heat Crash a better Flare Blitz. In this case we decided to make Weight a part of the stat spread submission, as well as Heat Crash being a defining move. We...

Defining moves is a relatively recent addition to the CAP process, being only really adopted in mid generation 8. I think its generally been helpful in letting us sorta "poll jump" specific moves, and create more informed stat spreads. However, its also been treated as a way to preempt the...
