Phase 2 - Typing Ideas
Thanks to everyone for sending in submissions, but this concept won the vote with 6 votes in its favour! Like I said on the previous thread, if you wish to resubmit your idea, please feel free to do so in the next iteration of CAP (I see no reason to do another straight after this one finishes) so ready/improve your ideas until then.
However, we still have most of the CAP process ahead of us! This thread will be about discussing typing only so please do not start discussing anything else.
EDIT: We are now doing two Pokemon, so please carry on with discussion!
Name: Sticky Web 2.0
Description of Concept: Effectively, this concept would allow for a Sticky Web Pokemon that is a) not a suicide lead and b) does not completely kill momentum.
Reason for Concept: Currently, in OU, there are only two real Sticky Web users: Smeargle and Shuckle (since Galvantula is kinda ass). A sticky web user that wouldn't be a suicide lead would really help the strategy in OU IMO, and it would allow teams to not have to run a suicide lead just to get up Sticky Web (and Stealth Rocks if you're lucky). By using this idea, we can also see what Pokemon rise up in a metagame with an increased emphasis on Speed Control.

Name: Trick Room Setter
Description of Concept: A trick room setter that could somehow improve the viability of trick room teams in the OU environment.
Reasons for Concept: Trick room in concept has always been incredibly interesting to me, but unfortunately with only 5 turns of trick room and some unfortunately mediocre setters for the OU environment, trick room teams have never really taken off. There are plenty of Pokemon already ready to abuse it (mega Mawile, mega Abamasnow, Escavalier, Dragalgae, etc), so all TR really needs is a little push in the support department to start making a relevant impact IMO.
