Hello, the long overdue CAP Metagame Discussion thread is finally here! The purpose of this thread is to discuss anything CAP Metagame related, from interesting sets you found to trends you've noticed in teams. This is also the place to talk about the impact of recent OU changes in regards to the CAP Metagame, as well as the additions of new CAP Pokemon. If its related to the CAP Metagame, chances are this is a good place to post it. Keep in mind that this thread is solely for the discussion of the CAP Metagame, and is NOT for discussing any CAP playtests that occur. There will be a dedicated thread for them in the main CAP forum when they occur. Additionally, don't discuss the viablility of the Pokemon here, save it for the actual CAP Metagame discussion thread. Also, this is not the thread for discussing bans or changes to CAP Pokemon, nor is this the thread to discuss the creation of CAP Pokemon for the CAP Metagame; remember, CAP projects are made for the OU Metagame, NOT the CAP Metagame. Lastly, this IS the CAP Metagame Disussion thread, so it should go without saying that any and all discussion should pertain solely to the CAP Metagame, don't compare the CAP Metagame to OU, don't suggest any additional tiers in CAP, such as CAP UU or CAP Ubers, and don't talk about dropping Ubers into the CAP Metagame. The CAP Metagame follows OU banlists, with the inclusion of the 19 additional CAP Metagame, and it will not be changing in the foreseeable future. If it ever comes into consideration or there is a need for a topic for it, the mods will be in charge of handling it.
In the interest of sparking discussion, some possible topics for discussion include:
The 20 existing CAP Pokemon are the main difference between the CAP Metagame and any other metagame available, so here is a quick list of the CAP pokemon for reference, listed by order of creation.

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 CAP meta? What about Sticky Web or Trick Room? Maybe even a team build like BOWS (Bulky Offense with Wish Support)? Playstyles of all sorts are welcome to be discussed.
- Changes you've noticed in the metagame, or even trends you've been noticing.
- General discussion about Pokemon you've been using, such as good sets you've found or even topics such as "should x mon be running x move over y move?". As long as you're not talking about the viability of the pokemon in regards to ranks (ie. S, A+, A, A-, etc.), any discussion of the Pokemon is fine. Try and keep discussion focused on the CAP Metagame though, and try not to talk about gimmicky stuff like Ferroseed or Florges. If its gimmicky or outclassed in OU, then chances are its still gimmicky and outclassed here.
The 20 existing CAP Pokemon are the main difference between the CAP Metagame and any other metagame available, so here is a quick list of the CAP pokemon for reference, listed by order of creation.
