CAP 30 So Far
-----
Here is the explanation Lasen, our Section Leader for this stage, has provided for each of the options. In addition, please refer to the Stats Submission thread here to make an educated decision when submitting your ballot!
snake_rattler:
Defining Moves: Swords Dance, Brave Bird, Gunk Shot, Roost
Snake's spread hits the Speed limit and has a more than respectable Attack stat with quite well balanced Defenses. The HP is kept the same as 30b's already established HP. Swords Dance and Roost can be clicked with ease thanks to its blistering Speed and enough Attack to scare out certain foes, without making it impossible to take a hit from.
dex:
Defining Moves: Taunt, Rapid Spin, Knock Off, Thunder Wave, and Toxic.
Dex's 30i submission has a scary Attack attack stat and aims to outspeed Alolatales and Adamant Weavile, making our offensive checks very concise when combined with its low Defense. Specs Dragapult remains a solid answer but Tornadus-T needs Stealth Rocks up to ever attempt to 2HKO.
spoo:
Defining Moves: Coil, Brave Bird, Drill Peck, Gunk Shot, Recover
Spoo couldn't decide on whether he should be cautious or not with Swords Dance but ended up going for the more quaint Coil. Speed is enough to tie with Astrolotl, effectively always outspeeding it. Good balanced defensive stats tie the whole thing together, with more emphasis put on Special Defense. A good mid ground between the faster spreads and the hard-hitting slower spreads.

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.

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.
- 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.
