Voodoom's competitive updates draw to a close with this poll, where we will decide whether or not Voodoom will have access to extra coverage moves or not.

The moves we will be voting on are listed below. Spell the move and its qualifying include/do not include as you see it below when posting. Do not vote to both include and not include the same move, as that is nonsensical and will result in your vote being deleted. This is NOT a flavor poll; it is a competitive poll. Flavor movepool submission and voting will happen at a later time.

This poll operates on the multiple bold voting standard, which is detailed here. Make sure to bold your votes and nothing else. A typical vote looks like this:
Include Potato Punch
Do Not Include Hyper Cabbage
Do Not Include Carrot Blast
Include Hidden Power Veggie

Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.
  • The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
  • Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
  • Only one option per line.
  • Spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed above.
  • Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
Composing a proper ballot is easy. Enter BBCode Edit Mode (the wrench in the upper right corner). Copy/paste the options directly from the OP to your ballot as plain unbolded text. Delete and/or rearrange the options to suit your preference and the poll type. Bold your vote text using bold tags or re-enter rich text mode, highlight your vote and click B. Spelling or formatting errors may spoil your ballot, so be careful!

The poll will last for 24 hours.

Please post only your votes in this thread. Do not respond to other posts, or your posts will be moderated and you may be warned. You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to #cap on IRC or to the PS CAP Project room.

Don't campaign. Do not ask others to vote for or against any submission. Your vote should be yours alone and you should not attempt to influence the votes of others. If you suspect someone else has campaigned, please keep your information private and only share it with CAP mods (publicly chastising a campaigner may cause other voters to vote differently as well). Campaigning will result in punishment.

Really on the fence about Thunderbolt, but siding on the side of safety over coverage here. Came down to necessity vs benefit analysis.
 
Include Flash Cannon
Include Thunderbolt

Both of these moves allow Voodoom to handle specific threats without being overwhelming (like for example 2HKOing the whole meta), and Psychic is better for a general destroy button, so they really outclass Psychic overall.

The former is usually worse than what it already has, but is niche, and the latter is about just as good as its current options. This is not a power boost, it is a variety one, and I think that is just what Voodoom needs. Either would be good, but I see no reason not to have both.
