Typing: Water/Electricreachzero said:Name: Utility Counter
General Description: This Pokemon is capable of being customized to counter virtually any specific Pokemon, but is incapable of countering a large number of Pokemon at the same time.
Justification: It is not unusual for people to say that "versatility is broken" from an offensive standpoint; less attention is given to versatile defensive Pokemon such as Zapdos or Hariyama. This Pokemon would allow us to study the impact of having a Pokemon that is capable of dealing with such varied threats as Salamence, Lucario, and Gengar....but not all at once.
Questions To Be Answered:
--How useful is defensive versatility in a metagame with so many different threats to account for?
--Given the existence of a Pokemon that can hard counter only specific major threats, which threats will be prepared for the most?
--How would team building change if certain difficult-to-prepare-for threats became easier to prepare for?
--Which is more useful, a Pokemon that can somewhat handle a wide range of threats, or a Pokemon that can handle a few threats extremely well?

Prawnto [Prawn + Pronto [an idiom for immediately] (also pwn)]
Used in a sentence: Get me a counter, Prawnto!

FINAL SUBMISSION
Jumbolt
Jumbo (shrimp) + Volt/Bolt. Pretty simple to remember, too. The Jumbo also helps explain the 151 HP.

Overkrill
Overkill (To destroy with a bunch of nukes) + Krill (A Shrimp-like creature)
I guess this will be my Final Submission

Krill + Illumine
due to 10 characters max unfortunately Krilluminate can't be used so this is shortened to..
Krillumine
Krill is a shrimp-like marine invertebrate animal. Illumine means to make lighter or brighter, and ab's design fits this because it is literally glowing!

Krilowatt
Simply a mix of kilowatt and that extra "r" for the krill reference. It brings out how it's more of an Electric type than Water. Also, it has watt in there anyway.
No double L's. While the extra L really adds to the krill reference, it should be blatantly noticeable that the sounding of Krill is in there. Therefore, one L is just as good as two. One L just looks more pleasing to the eye when reading.
DougJustDoug said:Ebion
Ebi (Japanese word for shrimp) + Ion (an electrically charged particle)
This is a tiny pokemon, so I think a short name fits nicely.
I also like Thegamer's submission of "Krillowatt". It's a long name, but it fits together perfectly.

Scurrint
Breakdown: Scurry + Current + cute spelling change
Explanation: I was thinking about the word "current" for naming this CAP and how it applies so well to its typing (electric current and ocean current) and wanted to build a name off of it. It just so happened that the word "current" closely resembled the tail end of the word "scurry," which I can easily visualize a small shrimp with 105 base Speed doing as it frantically counters things. Changing the "e" in current to an "i" gives it a cuter visual impression without looking forced, and "Scurrint" is what came about. Enjoy!
Two things:
- Once again, put some substance into your posts and no "I voted for x". This is entirely standard procedure and is just here for the sake of people making sure it still applies here.
- No being a Negative Nancy.You may think I'm kidding here, but I'm actually not. I'm really getting so sick of reading people's posts of "man, all of the options in here SUCK, oh well". I picked the options, and to be honest, I really don't care if you think they "suck". This is basically a thinly veiled attempt at being venomous over your option not making a poll. This rule also applies to people who are going to bitch at me over their name not making this poll. The criteria was "things that I really liked that got support", which applies to every name in this poll. Complaining will get you nowhere.
