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

Welcome to the SS 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 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.

How to rank
  • 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?)

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. :)

Uhh, Hi. Out of curiosity at work today and was looking through the VR for CAP mono and its fairly outdated (Bax is still on Dragon) and looks incredibly questionable. (Also there is still samples with Gouging and Zamazenta you guys may wanna get rid of).
So yeah. I guess I also kind of wanted to drop my own Poison CAP VR and some teams for my own enjoyment cause I've genuinely being enjoying this tier more and more as of recent.

:Muk-Alola::Toxapex::Venomicon::Weezing-Galar::Iron Moth::Sneasler:
To the people who are less familiar with CAP reading this, (CAP regulars can ignore this first part) you don't need to bring multiple CAP mons to completely change a type, just one can open up so many more options by fulfilling up several key holes your type may have and allowing lesser mons or mons with tools they don't get to use normally to shine.
Venomicon does that incredibly well for Poison, by being a super reliably ground immunity (I run foul play as I hate Hurricane's accuracy woes)
Neut Gas Weez-G gets opened up as a super strong check to so many mons. A small list of threats we now can send weezing to reliably answer include: Azumarill, Gholdengo (well we Defog against this), Gliscor, Snaelstrom, Samurott-H, and Lokix, hell it can even help against Scizor thanks to weakning bullet punch. Pex is mixed SpD cause we got three physical walls but I still need a reliablish Ceruledge check (takes 2 boosted bitter blades in sun)

These two I haven't tested too much, but I have used a slight bit.
:Muk-Alola::Amoonguss::Mollux::Venomicon::Iron Moth::Sneasler:
Amoonguss is here over the other physical walls as it provides something that can actually threaten Water back long term with helping against Ground thanks to the two quad weaknesses this team has (Pex or a defensive Plasmanta might be better here, needs more testing than like, 2 tours). AMuk has Rockslide to help with Volcarona (while it can live some hits, it will lose long term against Bulky Volcarona without a lucky Poison Proc and even then that isn't a good long term solution) Mollux is here to provide spin support. Mollux's EV spread outspeeds Adamant Azu allowing for it to Clear Smog away Belly Drum preventing it from being too much of a problem.

:Muk-Alola::Toxapex::Venomicon::Mollux::Plasmanta::Sneasler:
Finally, with Double Poison moves and me being confident that we can handle Hatt and Volc otherwise, AMuk is Curse as a flex slot (Can be so much else though, if Poison moves and some problem MUs are sorted, AMuk's 3rd move is generally flexible). Mollux's Speed EVs is to outspeed Max speed Ada Scizor which also gets the jump on Jolly Azu as well. Plasmanta is here to improve our Flying and Water MUs and possibly even Ground, Notably Psyshock is being ran to just so we don't auto lose to Water Absorb Clodsire cause otherwise I would probably run Aura Sphere just to completely ruin steel.
Granted during this entire writing process I did consider dropping Curse on AMuk for Pjab, putting Rocks on Mollux and giving Venomicon U-turn but that probably won't be as solid as it would likely put too much pressure onto Mollux overall.

VR wise here is what I think, all mons have reasoning.
S Rank
:Muk-Alola:
Still irreplaceable like standard Mono.
:Venomicon:
Venom provides so much for Poison in one slot that if you're not running it, you need an incredible reason why. It frees up Weez-G to be neut gas, not scared of Neut Gas/Mold breaker users like Miasmaw and Excadrill clicking EQ, can set hazards, can foul play, can knock, can pivot, can be specially defensive, can be physically defensive (I think physically is better to get the most out of body press). Basically it does everything except wall psychic types and honestly, that is fine by me.
A Rank
:Mollux:
Yeah, this thing is goated and I was unironically sleeping it on it for the longest time thanks to the quad ground weakness being so unappealing.
:Toxapex:
Pex not being in the original VR is a crime, Its still Toxapex and should be greatly considered for most Poison teams worth their salt. Toxapex is still the most reliable Haze mon Poison has access to thanks to being the only one with natural recovery and has the easiest time getting Toxic onto its moveset. Also only bulky Fire resist we really have unless you want to run Mollux with Illuminate.
:Iron Moth:
Most CAPs do not hit 110+ making Moth an incredibly deletion option against them, especially since a lot of them are weak to Moth's STAB Flamethrower and if not, generally aren't fond of coverage making it hard for a lot of them to get in. Both Specs and Boots have legitimate reason to be ran and I often switch between the two on my Neut Gas team.
:Sneasler:
Similarly to moth, Sneasler's speed tier is just too valuable not to consider on most teams.
:Slowking-Galar:
Its still the best AV user of the type with a fair few new problematic special attackers, it is a genuinely good mon to consider for this to handle them. Future Sight + fully physically Venomicon's Body Press is also disgustingly strong.
B Rank
:Amoonguss:
Only Ground neutrality that is good. While a new Ground immunity does exist, if gravity goes up Amoonguss is the only one that can help to weather the storm. Also our only other option for Foul Play making it our only other super reliable physical Pult check.
:Weezing-Galar:
Venomicon forces this thing into a harder situation to be fitted onto teams, but with the option for Neut gas opened up, I think its still good or you can run a double ground immune core with one specially defensive and one physically defensive.
:Okidogi:
While a fair few new problems have arisen for its bulk up set (Equilibra and Arghonaut are two that come to mind) Its still great at being an endgame bulk up win condition and still the best steel check Poison has access to along with having the most reliable anti Landorus tool for Poison in Scarf Ice Punch.
:Chuggalong:
Terrifying endgame mon if positioned well. Can be hard to get to that endgame on ocassion and if it can't get setup its not going to be that great but still worth considering.
:Pecharunt:
Venomicon can do a lot of what Runt does, but its higher base speed and superior natural bulk (especially right out the gate before Stamina boosts and against Neut gas Miasmaw) keep it a worthwhile threat to consider.
:Clodsire:
Unaware has too much value not to consider, and with new setup threats + Electric being more of an actual threat its worthwhile to consider.
C Rank
:Glimmora:
No comment on this things original placement. I don't like Glim.
:Plasmanta:
Slower than Iron Moth and Gengar while not hitting any harder is a huge annoyance. That being said, hard checking Urshifu-R and Azu and improving Flying, Water, and Possibly even Ground for Poison is super nice (just need to get it setup first in the ground MU which can be hard.)
:Gengar:
I honestly think Specs Shadow Ball is worth considering as a super spammable cleaning tool, Good if you need a big fuck you tool for Steel and possibly the mirror thanks to Trick shutting down AMuk opening up other options, but not Moth is more flexible in my opinion.
D Rank
:Salazzle:
Better Steel MU Corrosion wise (compared to Glimmora) thanks to threatening Ghold (and most the type in general) far better and its speed tier is nice, still not really worth it.
:Overqwil:
AMuk exists, Spikes are nice and it can check physical Psychics. Problem is unlike Weez-G which offered tons of utility to keep its value high, Overqwil's utility is not enough.
:Crucibelle:
This is a utility mon really with mediocre bulk and only okay speed. Still its utility is nice and is a decent AV user. I've also ran it as a scarfer before and it does check Volcarona and Fire-types somewhat decently barring stone edge misses (to the point where I ran Rock Slide just to avoid playing the Stone Edge game against Volc) but it wants something more.

Everything else is unranked. Geniunelly got no idea how you guys let Munkidori and Toxtricity slip onto the list originally. I also don't see Venomicon-Epilogue doing too much cause it means giving up Venomicon base as a check to half the tier's physical attackers.

And yeah thats that. Thank you for reading and if I've gotten something wrong CAP wise, just let me known. I'm still learning this tier overall and can only play it so often thanks to my timezone.
