With the recent release of Sun/Moon, the CAP metagame is going to be changing drastically due to plethora of new defensive and offensive threats introduced. The [Gen 7] CAP ladder has been implemented on Pokemon Showdown!, so we can still test our predictions about how the metagame will fare. Use this thread to discuss anything relating to the SM CAP metagame, from potential cores you want to try to team builds you think will be effective. If its related to the SM CAP Metagame, chances are this is a good place to post it. Keep in mind that this thread is solely for SM CAP metagame discussion, and should not be used to discuss any other format, may that be CAP Doubles or ORAS CAP.
In the interest of sparking discussion, some possible topics for discussion include:

In the interest of sparking discussion, some possible topics for discussion include:
- Team and teach archetype discussion. Have you been dying to discuss stall, hyper offense, or balanced teams for the SM CAP meta? What about Sticky Web or Trick Room? Playstyles of all sorts are welcome to be discussed.
- Teams you've built and tested or plan on testing. This is a good place to showcase your teams without going through an RMT.
- General discussion about Pokemon you plan on using, such as good sets you've theorymonned or even topics such as "should x mon be running x move over y move?".
