CAP 34 So Far
-----
The purpose of this thread is to vote on the stat spreads developed in the Stats Submission thread. Here are the explanations shnowshner, our Section Leader for this stage, has provided for each of the options in his final slate. In addition, please refer to the Stats Submission thread here to make an educated decision when submitting your ballot.
Agile Turtle
Defining Moves: Hydro Pump, Surf, Sludge Bomb, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
Agile Turtle's updated spread quickly caught my attention, it has a nice combination of enough Speed to run past Iron Moth and Ogerpons, topped with decent Special Attack and strong physical bulk to aid in setup.
Brambane
Defining Moves: Surf, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
Brambane's spread looks to optimize our stat limits as much as reasonably possible at the cost of higher BP coverage, with low HP and above average Defenses giving players more control in what CAP 34 can set up against.
Da Pizza Man
Defining Moves: Hydro Pump, Surf, Sludge Bomb, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
Slightly different, but Da Pizza Man's submission remained the top pick for fast spreads, making the most of our offensive limits by stopping right after Ace + Moon and still possessing reputable attacking power.
mark6870
Defining Moves: Flamethrower, Sludge Wave, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
mark6870 has by far the wildest spread of the bunch, packing absurd wallbreaking potential so that defensive answers have to play extra careful or take big risks if they want to make it out unscathed. This comes at a heavy cost of not even outpacing Gholdengo and having by far the worst Special Bulk of all submissions.
MrDollSteak
Defining Moves: Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Surf, Flamethrower, Sludge Bomb, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
I flipped back-and-forth on this one a good bit, but ultimately a spread designed around both Hydro Pump and Fire Blast felt important, and MrDollSteak's decision to stick with a high power, yet comparatively slow build should be appealing to those interested in a more breaker-oriented CAP 34.
Tunana
Defining Moves: Hydro Pump, Close Combat, Aura Sphere, Sludge Wave, Clanging Scales, Clangorous Soul
Tunana opted for a similarly strong build which trades Fire Blast for extra speed and bigger focus on Special Defense. This is also the only spread which directly incorporated Fighting-type coverage as a part of our kit, but that point feels moot compared to its slate-high special bulk, which really sets it apart.
=====================
As a reminder, defining moves being listed above does not mean that they will be given during the movepool stage; rather that the stat spread creator has identified them as reasons that their spread may be weaker than its competition in some area, or as being important for calculations done when creating the stat spread.

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:
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.
Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.
The voting options are, once again:
Please only put the bolded names of each user in your ballot. Those options are as follows:
Agile Turtle
Brambane
Da Pizza Man
mark6870
MrDollSteak
Tunana
This poll will be open for 24 hours.

A typical vote might look like the following:
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.Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
etc.
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.
- 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.
