How to make a CAP Pokemon in showdown?

Comments

When you make a new team, you'll be asked to choose what format you want it to be considered for, such as OU or Ubers. From the dropdown menu, you can choose CAP, and if that's what you choose then you'll be able to pick those.

He wants to make Pokemon which can be used in CAP battles

If the question was asked in a vague way, and the asker never clarifies anything, then I think it's the asker's fault if all the answers are bad.

I clarified my question title was: how to make a CAP pokemon in showdown.

---

This question is still vague. Are you asking how to submit a design to be included in Smogon's CAP project, or how to add a CAP Pokemon to a team?

How to make one as shown above create a CAP pokemon.

I dont think this is vague. He asks how to make a CAP Pokemon, AKA Create a CAP Pokemon

---

'Make' and 'create' can mean any number of things, and I tried to highlight that in my comment. Repeating the question title verbatim doesn't make this clearer to me, but perhaps I am in the minority.

There is no other way to explain it make my own custom pokemon,AKA make a CAP pokemon make means create to make a CAP pokemon means to have my own CUSTOM pokemon. Sorry for all caps just feel its crazy how no one gets this :{

@superswablu I can turn this answer into a comment to get your question back on the unanswered list, if you’re unsatisfied with this answer.

Um yea that would be fine.

Answer 1

The smogon Create a Pokemon project isn't as simple as you making a design and using it, it's a large community driven project where dozens of people work on the design, function and mechanics of a Pokemon over the course of many months.

I'm not sure how dated the post is but you can use this as a starting point.

The only other way to create your own Pokemon and use them in a Showdown server is to be able to program the specifics of the Pokemon and add it to your own server. That is to say, to use existing or create brand new assets and code and either have someone implement it into their server or for you to create your own and have no restrictions.

So join the smogon project or start learning and getting familiar with code and learn to do it yourself.

There is a specific subforum for discussion and submitting ideas, I suggest looking around there and reading up on your homework.
