What is Monotype CAP?

If you're unfamiliar with the CAP Project, it's essentially Smogon's in-depth exploration of competitive Pokemon by creating custom, collaboratively-built Pokemon. Although CAP was originally meant to create a new OU-based metagame, it also brings a whole new dimension of competitive battling and teambuilding to Monotype. Adding CAP Pokemon to the Monotype metagame allows you to explore a multitude of new strategies, such as Sun on Grass or Trick Room on Ground, which can seriously impact certain matchups. If you're looking for a refreshing way to play Monotype, this is the OM for you!

General Rules, Mechanics, and Usage Tips
  • CAP Pokemon can be used within their respective type(s).
  • If you're unfamiliar with what certain CAP Pokemon do, check out the analyses or sets published for them. You can easily access those by typing "/analysis [pokemon]" on PS!
  • Be sure to explore all of the new options that types receive from CAP Pokemon. For example, Dark now has access to hazard removal and Sun teams are no longer restricted to Fire.
  • For more general information on CAP, feel free to check out the CAP Subforum.

Hey guys, I know Mono CAP can be wild to new players, and also existing players on what the CAP mons can do. Which is why I thought it would be a good idea to have a Set Compendium for people who don't seem to know the Mons. So a huge shoutout to mada for making it. I added more to it in the process so hope this is a good resource for my fellow CAPPERS. :D

Welcome to the official SV CAP Monotype Viability Rankings! In Monotype, Pokemon are ranked based upon how viable they are relative to the other Pokemon you have available on a particular type. The Pokemon in A rank are more viable than those in B rank, but that does not mean B rank Pokemon aren't useful or have a valuable niche. Anything that is ranked must be usable and have some value that prevents it from being outclassed. Most Pokemon are placed into one of five different rankings: S, A, B, C, and D. Some Pokemon aren’t listed either because they are either completely outclassed or haven't been ranked yet. Pokemon are ranked separately for each type. Pokemon are ranked separately for each type. For example, Water teams (stall specifically) love having access to Lanturn's Volt Absorb to provide an extra Electric immunity, but Electric teams have limited interest in Lanturn because there are no needs/superior options for its niche; therefore Lanturn would be ranked separately for each type.

General / Write up Rules
  • Flaming will not be tolerated. Please respectfully debate each other's nominations.
  • Post smartly, don't just be like, "I like Miasmite, so it should be in S Tier!"
  • Include the Pokemon you're rating, the type, and what rank you want it to be.
  • Provide an explanation as to why you put it in that rank and how it fares in Monotype. (Why should it be ranked lower or higher?)
  • Please only nominate rank changes for Pokemon that you have direct experience using. Do not use theory or on-paper ideas.
Viability Ranking Slate / Council: These people will have the final say if a decision by the community cannot be reached or a Pokemon is completely misplaced. If you have any questions or need help, please PM / VM these people. (Give me Dark-type sprites)

scattervein should go from UR -> B/A
scattervein can provide some really useful utility with spikes and works really well as a physical wall with intimidate and will-o to cripple threats that normally pose a really big threat to fairy such as excadrill, kitsunoh or sneasler as well as having a buff from eviolite, it also resists knock off so that deters mons from knocking it off and can more consistently keep eviolite. it also has access to bulk up pixilate espeed, even though it’s not as strong as hemo, it can setup more reliably and can still manage to clean a team with help from its teammates.

-1 252 Atk Choice Band Kitsunoh Meteor Mash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Scattervein: 134-158 (37.8 - 44.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

-1 252 Atk Kitsunoh Meteor Mash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Scattervein: 90-108 (25.4 - 30.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

-1 252 Atk Excadrill Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Scattervein: 96-114 (27.1 - 32.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

-1 252 Atk Life Orb Excadrill Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Scattervein: 125-148 (35.3 - 41.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

-1 252+ Atk Supreme Overlord 5 allies fainted Kingambit Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Scattervein: 156-186 (44 - 52.5%) -- 18% chance to 2HKO

proof that it has enough bulk to reliably will-o these mons and it can setup spikes letting you use another move on klefki instead of wasting a valuable moveslot for spikes on klefki, it can also reliably get chip on these mons since it has flamethrower.

and here are some replays w/ scattervein :D
fairy vs poison
fairy vs steel
fairy vs normal
also shoutout to boomp for posting all the replays in the mom discord

Thread Rules & Etiquette
  • This thread will serve as a place to house all the resources listed below: Viability Rankings, Sample Teams, Speed Tiers, and other useful resources to come. On top of this, the thread will act as a discussion thread as well.​
  • Posts only relating to the CAPMonotype OM is allowed in this thread.​
  • General Smogon & CAP forum rules apply to this thread so please follow them.​
CAP Monotype Council:
PM any of the council members if you have any questions about the tier!



Tiering History
Blaziken - Blaziken’s powerful ability speed boost an already good attack stat that can be boosted with sword dance to easily run through teams once it gains momentum. Blaziken also has great team support on both types having access to screens and teammates who are able to wither down the opposing team for Blaziken to late game sweep. Overall due to the lack of valid defensive counters on most teams and great teammate support it has been banned. Blaziken also follows the existing Monotype banlist and we plan to continue to use the tiering philosophy as a guide for the tier.

Cawmodore - Cawmodore has Volt Absorb as a Flying/Steel typing and the main sign of it being unhealthy is Belly Drum and its incredible bulk to add onto it. Facade counters Pokemon that may try to Scald it, Bullet Punch revenges faster threats, and Drain Punch gives Cawmodore longevity as a bulky and effective belly drum sweeper.

Kartana - Kartana offers way too much to steel and its incredible wall breaking potential with either Choice Band or Swords Dance breaks entirely way too many types with addition to its amazing coverage. It is also banned in SS Monotype and we chose to follow that here.

Magearna - Magearna's great coverage with Stored Power, Draining Kiss, Focus Blast, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt makes it somewhat unexpected to prep for along with boosting its SpA for every kill it gets. It is also banned in SS Monotype and we chose to follow that here.

Forgot to upload this, this was my CAP Mono team that was featured in CAP Fill in the Blank at the time. The core was built around stacking up on the Fighting immunity with Kitsunoh and Gholdengo. This is my favorite CAP mono team and im glad it was featured. Enjoy and like always, happy gaming. :)
