This poll determines which defunct CAP will undergo a buffing process (detailed here). There will be two initial polls before beginning the buffing process itself, one on which CAP to buff, and a second to decide who is the Buff Leader.

This will be a Ranked Pairs vote (RP) (a form of voting where each candidate is ranked according to head to head matchups with each of its competitors in a directed acyclic graph), the details of which were discussed here.

This is a ranked vote: order does matter! You can upvote your favorites and downvote your least favorites. You may choose to rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible to ensure your preferences are taken into account.

Bold your votes and nothing else!
A typical vote might look like the following:

Rich (BB code):
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred

Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.

  • The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
  • Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
  • Only one option per line.
  • The spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed above.
  • Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
Composing a proper ballot is easy. Enter BBCode Edit Mode (the A in the upper right corner). Copy/paste the options directly from the OP to your ballot as plain unbolded text. Delete and/or rearrange the options to suit your preference and the poll type. Bold your vote text using bold tags or re-enter rich text mode, highlight your vote and click B. Spelling or formatting errors may spoil your ballot, so be careful!

CAP uses blind voting. Other people's votes won't appear in the thread, but they are counted and will be made visible at the end of the voting timeframe. For more information about this change, check out this PRC thread.

This thread will be open for 24 hours.

The voting options are:

Snaelstrom
Plasmanta
Smokomodo
Pyroak
Kitsunoh
Caribolt
Mollux
Stratagem


Malaconda is a long term unranked CAP, but has problems that are incredibly deepset within its design. The CAP Metagame council would like to tackle Malaconda eventually, but given that this is the first iteration of the updated buff process, we elected to remove it from the ballot due to its perceived difficulty.

Fidgit's maintained its status as a Trick Room centerpiece, and the CAP Metagame council felt that its issues are not due to inherent issues with the mon itself, but rather a lack of a friendly metagame to its strongest playstyle (Trick Room). We felt that this mon will likely become stronger on its own once the metagame is more suited to Trick Room as a playstyle. If Fidgit remains unranked for longer it will be eligible in future buff cycles. (its likely ranked next VR slate)
