Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
How well does Quagsire take a High Jump Kick? Its dreamworld ability is unaware so it could care less about switching into a sword dance and it resists fire/rock attacks so it might make a decent check.
While I have not been on the server in a while, I have been keeping up with the boards and I think CAPs domination is a bunch a smaller trends that have added up.
1) As mentioned, the CAP board is rather scared to make a vulnerable. 7 out of the 10 CAPs are resistant to or have an ability to be...
I agree with Zarator about adding Clorophyll as one of its abilites. There was a lot of talk of making Pyroak relevant in Sun teams but the suggestions at the time were too imbalanced to be considered.

After a tough decision, I choose Doug's design. I think a Bison animal is a perfect fit for a Dark/Ground design and the compact bulky look it gives off also works with hard hitting physical aspects. There are a few other designs that I would also be happy with winning, but Doug's is definantly...
This ability has actually been speculated on before but what about giving it the custom ability Speed-Intimidate. There are plenty of moves available to either prevent or clear out secoundary moves effects (Heal Beel, rapid spin, taunt etc) but if the pokemon is at risk of being KO or taunted by...
It was a tough choice between Ground and Poison, but I ended up choosing Ground. I just feel like speed will be important and ensure it is well protected against that is going to be important.
I am partially to either ground or poison. Ground's SR resistance and sandstorm are a nice bonus but I think T-Wave immunity is a big argument for it. Whatever this poke well end up doing movewise, T-Wave could be a huge liability either from it failing to act at an inconvient time or by letting...
