Movepool Opening Thread

Hello everybody, and welcome to the movepool stage! Here we will decide what moves CAP 26 will be able to access. After which, we will tally all legal entries and place them to a vote to determine what the movepool for CAP 26 will be.

This being a flavour stage, users are free to dive deep into lore and wonder in order to create the movepool of their desire. All of this should be done within reason, however, and should more or less conform with patterns and distribution trends that Game Freak has established over the years. We can't go, for example, give CAP 26 Sheer Cold as a flavour move, when Game Freak's twenty year distribution pattern dictates that it is almost exclusively learnt by Ice Types. Any non compulsory move suggested should be justified or given reasoning for their placement or lack of thereoff, and movepools that lack any reasoning will not be slated.  I will be keeping a sharp look out for movepools that adhere to these rules.

In regards to moves that you may believe can carry competitive impact, please place all move inquiries within your submission posts, or in any discussion post that you may have. This is done to reduce thread clutter from one liners asking to check one or two moves and places them in a place where I will always be able to see them so I can respond quickly and efficiently. These checks will be responded to periodically throughout the time of the thread, and one liners with legality checks will be deleted. (Thanks to @snake_rattler for the idea).

If you are placing moves in your movepool, use common sense. Moves such as Quiver Dance and Shell Smash are not banned, because the TLT simply cannot run through and ban every single major competitive move in existence. Therefore, please excercise restraint when using obviously competitive moves such as these. I'll define competitively viable moves as moves that are able to interact with our threatlist with noticeable results, so if you're unsure about a move, take a look at the threatlist and ask yourself what matchups it may swing.

All mandatory moves, including universial ones, highlighted in the OP should be included in your final movepool submission. When final subbing, be sure to re check your submission to ensure any moves that are banned are absent from your post. If a move is banned during the course of the thread, @SHSP or I will notify everyone in the thread, and if you are unsure about what has changed, just double check the OP. Make sure the words "Final Submission" in bold are at the head if your submission. It would suck if after all the time taken to craft and justify your movepool, it was voided by not following simple rules.

Ok, with all that out of the way, let's get cracking at making some excellent movepools! Yee Yee!
