History Characters / CreateAPokemon

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water. Its Hidden Ability is Water Veil, which prevents Cresceidon from being burnt.

* StoneWall: Invoked, with Cresceidon going for the unusual variant prioritising both defensive strength and speed; it can also have the Ability Multiscale, which halves the damage taken from damaging moves when its HP is full.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: A line of Bug-types. While Syclar is a mere 0'08", Syclant stands at a human-sized 5'7".

* GhostlyChill: This is cited as to why Pajantom is one of the few Ghost-types to be denied [[WillOTheWisp Will]]-O- [[FauxFlame Wisp]].

** Smokomodo can boost its [[RapidFireFisticuffs Mach Punch and Bullet Punch]] into Base 60 attacks via [[WeakButSkilled Technician.]]

* HangingJudge: Equilibra judges and blasts the unrighteous into oblivion.

* SignatureMove: Heavily associated with and built around using Doom Desire, [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIIWailmerToDeoxys Jirachi]]'s SecretArt and a special 140 power Steel-type attack that deals damage two turns after use.

* MushroomSamba: Its ''Sword'' entry states that Miasmite constantly spews a hallucinogenic gas that induces this, making those who inhale it perceive it as a fearsome dragon.

* OlympusMons: It's the first official Legendary CAP, discounting Flash CAPS[[note]]Elktrolysis and, if one counts Ultra Beasts to be Legendaries, Seraphleur[[/note]]. It has a 600 BST, was voted to have no evolutions, and designer Gravity Monkey stated that they made it with a legendary look in mind.

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water. Its Hidden Ability is also Water Veil, which prevents it from being burnt.

* TheSpiny: Can have the Ability Rough Skin, which allow it to damage enemies that use contact moves against it for 1/8 of their max. HP.

* HordeOfAlienLocusts: Syclar do this during winter, entering and leaving on blizzard winds in numbers.

* AfterCombatRecovery: Can have the Ability Natural Cure, which allows it to lift a [[StatusEffects non-volatile status condition]] when it switches out - such as [[{{Combos}} by using Parting Shot.]]

* PoisonousPerson: {{Zigzagged}}. While initially conceived as part Poison-type, it was changed to Normal instead [[{{Retcon}} following its process to be more viable]]. However, it still retains its Poison-type moves, most notably Acid Spray and Sludge Wave.

* BareFistedMonk: Both are Fighting-type.

** After ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' cut Smeargle and Sketch from the game, the CAP leaders made it so that Necturna can be used in the SS CAP metagame, but could only Sketch moves introduced prior to ''Sword and Shield'', as Necturna theoretically could have Sketched those moves before being transferred.

* DependingOnTheArtist: Which way Mollux's front legs curl changes between artists. The concept artist draws them curling back, the Gen. V sprites and party icon show them curling forward, and the Gen. VI model and party icon show them curled back.

* PoisonousPerson: A Poison-type based on a cone snail.

* PoisonousPerson: Poison-types.
* ShockAndAwe: Electric-types.

* ProtectionFromTheElements: Mega Crucibelle has Magic Guard, allowing it to not worry about damage from entry hazards, residue damage from Hail and Sandstorm, and even nullify the recoil it would have received from Head Smash completely.

The first CAP of [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Generation VII]], a Dragon/Ghost sleeping dragon who dreams itself to be much more fearsome and is a master of trapping moves, such as Wrap, Whirlpool, Sand Tomb, Fairy Lock, and, most significantly, Spirit Shackle at the expense of the opponent.

* LazyDragon: Its not ''lazy'', per se, but [[https://imgur.io/X5y8mlb?r as explained in its supplemental art]], Pajantom can fall asleep extremely easily and will knock itself out as soon as it enters battle.

* ManChild: Pajantom, despite its scary apparation, always has the mind of a small child.

* RecurringElement: Like the [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull Jumpluff]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIXSprigatitoToEspathra Arboliva]] lines, the Pyroak line are [[{{Planimal}} a three-tier line of Grass-Types]] with a BST just under 500 and fare better under harsh sunlight.

* CheshireCatGrin: Kitsunoh permanently has one due to its masks. [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics For female Kitsunoh]], that means four of them from the ones on its body.

* JaggedMouth: Kitsunoh's masks give it the impression of a sneaky grin and/or a PlayfulCatSmile.

* MultipleHeadCase: Like [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVMinccinoToVolcarona the Deino line]], the Monohm line sprouts more heads per stage. Duohm's two heads are noted to have completely different personalities, and both it and Cyclohm's heads fight each other regularly. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Tying into this]], upon evolving, they also learn Double Hit and Tri Attack respectively.

A Ground/Dark subterranean brown narwhal that's well-over-eight-feet-tall, [[MemeticMutation great at basketball,]] and is intended to stop secondary effects in the metagame. Its pre-evolution, Dorsoil, is a dopey Ground-type beluga.

* SandIsWater: Like the Ground-type aquatic creatures from ''Pokémon'', Dorsoil and Colossoil are, respectively, a beluga and narwhal that live in the earth.

* MagikarpPower: Protowatt has weak stats and, outside of breeding, learns no more moves than the four it starts with. When it evolves into Krilowatt, [[TookALevelInBadass it gains a lot more moves as well as excellent attacking stats.]]

* VideoGameStealing: Saharascal can have the Ability Pickpocket, which steals the opponent's item if it's hit by a contact move as long as it isn't holding one.

** In Scattervein and Hemogoblin's [[PaletteSwap shiny palette]], [[TechnicolourFire its heated veins and flames turn from blue to green]], implying a copper-based colourant. The second oxygen transport molecule after hemoglobin in terms of frequency of use is hemocyanin, used by crustaceans and mollusks, which uses copper instead of iron to carry oxygen.

* JaggedMouth: Its masks give Kitsunoh the impression of a sneaky grin and/or a CatSmile.

!!'''CAP 34: TBD'''

* GreenThumb: The Caribolt line are part Grass-types.

** Water-type Starters having design elements of weapons or warrior classes. Snaelstrom’s line becomes a coral reef sentinel that defends other Pokémon from the attacks of the [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIRowletToComfey Toxapex]] line.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Part Bug-types. Cupra is 1'8", Argalis is 4'3", and [[MothMenace Aurumoth]] is an impressive 6'11".

* MushroomSamba: Its ''Sword'' entry states that Miasmite weaponizes this by constantly spewing a hallucinogenic gas that makes those who inhale it see it as a fearsome dragon.

* SoLastSeason: Miasmaw was created shortly before the [[ExpansionPack Crown Tundra DLC]] was released, which rapidly sapped off most of its viability thanks to reintroducing several Fairy-Types, namely [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToParasect Clefable]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIOranguruToMelmetal Tapu Fini]], who ''easily'' [[{{Pun}} steamrolled through]].
* UseYourHead: Learns Dragon Hammer, a move (as of Gen VIII) exclusive to [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIGastlyToTauros Alolan Exeggutor]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIIWailmerToDeoxys Tropius]].

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water. It can also have the Ability Water Veil, which prevents it from being burnt.

* DropTheHammer: Justyke, being a living gavel, is known to swing its body with tremendous force which it uses to bring trials to order and punish evildoers.

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water. It can also have the Ability Water Veil, which NoSells burns.

* BooksThatBite: A sentient book with forbidden knowledge and written with toxic ink. In [[https://imgur.io/xot6TJo supplemental]] [[https://imgur.io/3RHJvya material]], it's capable of [[DeathFromAbove folding up like an airplane to divebomb foes]] or [[AcidAttack spitting out its ink like a fountain pen.]]
* BequeathedPower: Its Hidden Ability is Power of Alchemy, which allows Venomicon to take on the Ability of an defeated ally in a Double Battle.

* LuckBasedMission: Saharaja can have the Ability Serene Grace, which doubles the likeihood of secondary effects occurring. Diamond Storm greatly benefits from this, as it will ''always'' raise its Defense by two stages whenever it's used.

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water.

* ShoutOut: Cresceidon's design is based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa The Great Wave off Kanagawa]].

* StoneWall: Invoked, with Cresceidon going for the unusual variant prioritising both defensive strength and speed; it can also have the Ability Multiscale, which halves the damage taken from moves when its HP is full.
* VisualPun: Shiny Cresceidon have a [[WaterIsBlue bright blue coloration]] on their ridges and horn; one of the phrases used to describe a rare occurrence, such as encountering a Shiny, is a blue moon.

* CanonDiscontinuity: All of the Flash[=CAPs=] are only conceptual, unable to be played on on Pokémon Showdown! and are unconsidered when a new [=CAP=] is being designed.

[[/folder]]

* ProtectionFromTheElements: {{Played with}}; both can have the Ability Overcoat, which does indeed protect them from powder-based moves as well as residue damage from a sandstorm or hail; Mumbao's Hidden Ability is however Solar Power, which inverts this by [[CastFromHitPoints giving it a 50% boost to its Special Attack at the cost of losing 1/8th of its max. HP each turn]] under harsh sunlight.

* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy-type.
* MakingASplash: Part Water-type and ''literally'' made of water.

* StoneWall: Invoked, with Cresceidon going for the unusual variant prioritising both defensive strength and speed, It can also have the Ability Multiscale, which halves the damage taken from moves when its HP is full.

!!'''CAP 33: [[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/cap-33-so-far.3725771/ CAP 33]]'''
A Water/Fairy sentient wave who not only is meant to be durable, but can afford to invest in Speed.

* GentleGiant: CAP 33 may be large, but as [[https://imgur.com/KXAjuUm seen in supplemental material]], it can be docile and friendly to people.
* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: CAP 33 is a sentient large wave.

* MakingASplash: Part Water-type.
* Lunacy: CAP 33 has a crescent moon on its head and can learn Moonblast.
* ShoutOut: Cap 33's design is based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa The Great Wave off Kanagawa]].

* StoneWall: Invoked, with CAP 33 going for the unusual variant prioritising both defensive strength and speed, It can also have the Ability Multiscale, which halves the damage taken from moves when its HP is full.

* ShoutOut: Saharaja's category as the Grand Vizier Pokémon and [[PaletteSwap shiny palette]], as well as Saharascal's SatisfiedStreetRat background are one to [[Film/Aladdin2019 Jafar]].

* SoLastSeason: Miasmaw was created shortly before the [[ExpansionPack Crown Tundra DLC]] was released, which rapidly sapped off most of its viability thanks to reintroducing several Fairy-Types, namely [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToParasect Clefable]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIOranguruToMelmetal Tapu Fini]], who ''easily'' [[Pun steamrolled through]].

An Electric/Water shrimp meant to be a JackOfAllStats/utility counter (but is limited in how much it can do at a time thanks to the series' four-move limit), but primarily used as a sweeper [[NotTheIntendedUse due to a loophole on its Ability]]. Its pre-evolution Protowatt is a small krill that's [[MagikarpPower much less dangerous in comparsion]].

* SoLastSeason: While Voodoom is considered the most successful CAP in terms of execution, the same ''cannot'' be said about its performance in later generations; the introduction of the Fairy-type in particular doesn't do it any flavors. While it was buffed just like several [=CAPs=] in Generation VII, gaining acesss to [[ColdIron Flash Cannon and Smart Strike]] that could help it combat Fairy-types, the improvement isn't enough to save Voodoom.

A Water/Steel viking longship that can use both [[StatusBuff Dragon Dance and Calm Mind]] sets effectively and has completely different checks and counters for either set. Its pre-evolutions, Floatoy and Caimanoe, are respectively a Water-type pool toy and a Water/Steel caiman canoe.

* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Subverted with Caimanoe. It has a wide, fanged mouth, but only attacks if someone else provokes it.

* KnightTemplar: Justyke strike their mallet-like bodies at anyone they judge as evil. Likewise, Equilibra violently vanquishes anyone it deems unjust with [[LightEmUp divine rays of light]], while those it considers righteous are spared. [[BlueAndOrangeMortality Whether these judgements are accurate or not is up to interpretation]].

** [[SwitchOutMove Dragon Tail, Whirlwind]], and [[UniversalPoison Toxic]] [[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-sm-cap-stage-4-freed-from-desire-equilibra-nerfed.3654840/post-8253336 were removed]] from its movepool after playtesting.

* GiantPoofySleeves: Astrolotl has what looks like poofy sleeves around its arms.

* BalanceBuff: In Gen VIII, Miasmaw [[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/defunct-cap-buff-3-miasmaw.3708447/post-9348925 had 27 points transferred from its Special Attack to its Speed and Special Defense]], as well as gaining [[SwitchOutMove U-Turn]], [[CastFromHitPoints Wild Charge]] and [[PowerfulButInaccurate Gunk Shot]].

* SoLastSeason: Miasmaw was created shortly before the [[ExpansionPack Crown Tundra DLC]] was released, which rapidly sapped off most of its viability thanks to reintroducing several Fairy-Types, namely [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToParasect Clefable]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIOranguruToMelmetal Tapu Fini]], who ''easily'' [[Pun steamrolled through the Roadblock]].

* MultiformBalance: Its framework is titled "[[Characters/PokemonGenerationIVChatotToArceus Giratina]]-style Forms", and like its namesake, Venomicon's stat total between its Formes are the same, though each has different distributions and fill different roles.

* KnightTemplar: Justyke strike their mallet-like bodies at anyone they judge as evil. Likewise, Equilibra violently vanquishes anyone it deems unjust with [[LightEmUp divine rays of light]], while those it considers righteous are spared. Whether these judgements are accurate or not is up to interpretation.

* SignatureMove: Heavily associated with and built around using Doom Desire, [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIIWailmerToDeoxys Jirachi]]'s SecretArt and a special 140 powerSteel-type attack that deals damage two turns after use.

* StoneWall: Invoked, with CAP 33 going for the unusual variant prioritising both defensive strength and speed. It can also have the Ability Multiscale, which halves the damage taken from moves when its HP is full.
* ShownTheirWork: CAP 33 has a crescent moon that 'leads' the wave of the body around. A little known fact is that the moon's gravitational pull on Earth is responsible for the occurrence of tides.

* SoLastSeason: Miasmaw was created shortly before the [[ExpansionPack Crown Tundra DLC]] was released, which rapidly sapped off most of its viability thanks to reintroducing several Fairy-Types, namely [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToParasect Clefable]] and [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIOranguruToMelmetal Tapu Fini]], who ''easily'' [[JustForPun steamrolled through the Roadblock]].

* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: Cap 33 is a sentient large wave.

* GiantWaterOfWateryDoom: Cap 33 is a sentient large wave.
