I really like the new Bug/Electric! It's first design was something I wasn't too big on until I saw the eyes. The eyes made it 8/10. Also, its evo is a 9/10! Puff the Magic Dragon is Normal/Dragon. It's about time that typing comes out, it was a wonder what they were gonna do with it since Normal typings tend to make designs a bit more whimsical when paired with somethin that isn't Flying.
Cutiefly is too cute. No seriously, is its theme that its cute? What kind of a theme is that...Snubull does it better...

bruxish is ugly as sin but it's ability could be very interesting (especially for doubles)- we'll see what the stats are.
the electric bugs are pretty cool- definitely my favorite set of bugs in a while, but i can't say that the pikaclone is too great :/
snoop dragon is my favorite reveal- tapu koko and cutiefly are both ok.

The first round is the coolest and deffo the most popular...
The round where yall suggest what you wanna see us build around!
Generally a sweeper of some sort, this mon will be the basis on which we start our team around and is usually somethin pretty likeable from our past CCATs.
As always, it has to be viable. Just so long as it's not Snowball Dewgong or something it should b ok.
Here's a reference for the OU tier if thats the kinda stuff you like.
Be sure to give a nice explanation as to why we should build around your mon!
OU Viability Rankings

Nominating Mega Heracross:
Heracross @Heracronite
Moxie > Skill Link
Adamant
240 HP 136 Att 132 Spe
-Pin Missile
-Close Combat
-Rock Blast
-Swords Dance/Substitute
Alright, Mega Heracross is by far one of the best Wallbreakers and sub breakers because of his sheer power, great bulk, and decent speed combined with his very useful Skill Link ability. He can tank most hits barring just about any Flying move. Substitute is key for expecting switch-ins from Pokemon like Talonflame, Tornadus-T, or M-Pidgeot who can easily wipe M-Heracross, which is where Rock Blast comes in handy as your way of getting rid of those threats somewhat safely. Moxie is for boosting your Attack by finishing off a slower target while not in Mega, and slashed Swords dance just for a more offensive role. Pin Missile and Close Combat are standard STAB moves for M-Hera as well, and Pin Missile can easily tear through subbers like Breloom and Serperior. Of course, we'll need quite a bit of back up to make him work, but with the right team and set up, he can absolutely destroy.

Pinsir @ Pinsirite
Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Close Combat/ Earthquake
- Quick Attack
This thing here is a monster. Being one of the two pokemon with the strong ability Aerilate. This thing can dominate when its checks have been dealt with. With 155 base attack powers through a lot and sword dance only boost that power to higher levels. Return is boosted through the roof and quick attack becomes pretty good and scary after a sword dance. Earthquake can be used to deal with pesky duel types and no negative stat drop off. Stealth rocks will rape it before it even mega evolves and will hurt more after it has. Counter measures would greatly help it out. He used be used to clean up so a team that can support the early and set up for his his sweep would be best.
How about a RU tour

Go with Feint over Quick Attack, that breaks through Protect and gains the Aerilate boost too. ^^^

Ok so here is my pokemon I want to start our ou ccat off with
Clefable the life taker
Clefable @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Moonblast
- Fire Blast
- Soft-Boiled
- Focus Blast
Clefable has become a staple pokemon in this x and y ou meta with its new typing and great ability with magic guard making people adapt there teams to check able. Tankable is not your normal type set for clefable but dont not be mistaken it packs a punch and catches people off guard. Moonblast and Fireblast take out alot of pokemon in ou with scizor, latios, latias, and ferrothron running around in most teams. Focus blast takes care of heatran in one or two hits depending on the set and squash non knowing bisharps from any chances to revenge kill or set up after we switch. Soft boiled is the prime move for clefable to live a long and health life in battle so it can keep up the pressure it gives you in most fights. Magic guard can take anything our team doesn't like and kill pokemon that our team cant take. Clefable is s+ tier right now and should be use not only as a slower revenge killer but also as a predicted to help hone your skills to catch unware pokemon so our other members can shine and take over the game. We shouldnt start off with a mega that brings to much pressure on one poke but instead build a team where 3 or 4 members of our team can shiny and help win the game. A mega should be used to boost a team and its members.

CCAT Suggestion:
Manaphy w/ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rain Dance
- Rest
OK so why Calm Mind over Tail Glow?
The +1 SpDef coupled with physdef investment allows Manaphy to beat these Pokemon after 1 Calm Mind:
252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 185-218 (45.7 - 53.9%) -- 2.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Latios Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Manaphy: 125-148 (30.9 - 36.6%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 204-240 (50.4 - 59.4%) -- 78.5% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Rain Dance prevents a second before you can recover, forces the switch
252 SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 153-181 (37.8 - 44.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Sludge Wave vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 134-160 (33.1 - 39.6%) -- 15.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Secret Sword vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Manaphy: 151-178 (37.3 - 44%) -- 100% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Raikou Thunderbolt vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 182-216 (45 - 53.4%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Meh
0 SpA Rotom-W Volt Switch vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 104-126 (25.7 - 31.1%) -- 4.6% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Starmie Thunderbolt vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 143-169 (35.3 - 41.8%) -- 79.5% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
180 SpA Life Orb Tornadus-T Hurricane vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 133-156 (32.9 - 38.6%) -- 2.7% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
68 SpA Zapdos Thunderbolt vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 168-198 (41.5 - 49%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
You get the point. Manaphy has the opportunity to switch in and set up on a lot of mons such as Hippowdon, Lando-T (physdef), Tyranitar, Scizor, Heatran, etc. Once it gets up a Calm Mind it can only be stalled or beaten by Serperior, Electric Types, Volcanion, Unaware Clef, Chansey hax, and it will die if you play it poorly. Fortunately, teams have more than one Pokemon. Scald in the Rain with a chance to burn becomes frustrating, especially because Calm Mind also grants a SpAtt boost. Rain Dance is also frustrating for sand teams, because they won't be able to keep their sand up for long. This set works well with sand against opposing rain teams. 16 Speed outspeeds Adamant Bisharp. Other mons should be able to beat water-resists (Dragon, Grass, Water, Water Absorb) A good option is Ferrothorn because it resists those three types and can live longer under rain with weakened Fire attacks, Tornadus-T can use rain and power through M-Venusaur, Amoonguss, Celebi, and Serperior. If you use sand, Hippo+Drill is good for Electric types such as Manectric.
This loses to Volcanion 1v1
