Fire Blast is chosen as the Fire STAB due to its higher BP Z-Move than Flamethrower, letting it to break past faster those nasty special walls like Chansey after a Tail Glow (+3 252 SpA Xurkitree Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 531-625 (75.5 - 88.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock). Tail Glow is chosen as its set up move. Giga Drain should be used for keep Xurkitree healthy during the sweep, while Solar Beam is used for inmediate firepower. Earth Power is used for breaking past Fire pokemon which resist both Fire and Grass moves, while Dazzling Gleam should be used for breaking past bulky Dragon mons. Max Spe, Max SpA and Timid nature are chosen for not being outspeed by ohter mons of the 100s speed tier. Drought is its main ability and Firium Z is for having even an easier time breaking past the aformentioned special walls:

Play Rough and Gunk Shot are chosen as its main STABs (one can hit common types such as Dragon and Dark, while Gunk Shot is used due to its high 120 BP and hits super effectibly those common fairies). High Jump Kick is its best option for hitting Steel-Types, wich would otherwhise wall it. There're lots of options for the fourth slot: U-Turn is for gaining momentum against another Poison mons which wall it, rapid spin is used for clearing the hazards of your team, knock off is used for hitting ghost types with Fairy resistance like Gengar and for removin the foes' useful items like Leftovers or Assault Vest,Brambles are used in case your team lacks a SR user or just for taking advantage of the switch outs this pokemon can force, Stone Edge could be used for abusing its ability to trap Bug mons and Zen Headbutt, which should be used for hitting Poison mons. 252 EVs on Attack are used for dealing the max damage possible, while those 252 EVs are necessary for not being outspeed by mons of the 110s speed tier like Latios or Gengar. Allure Fragance is used for trap and kill Fairy and Bug mons of the opponent and helping the Dark and Dragon mons of your own team. Sticky Petals is used in case your team already has a z move user, while Poisonium Z should be used for breaking past walls wich doesn't resist or are weak to Poison.
More sets coming soon =^]
They can use a Z crystal too if you read the rules, that's why there's a section to choose the customed mon Z crystal type.Costumes can only use their costume item.
From what I've understood, they don't use the Z-Crystals, but the costumes allow Z-moves as if they were Z-Crystals.They can use a Z crystal too if you read the rules, that's why there's a section to choose the customed mon Z crystal type.

What are you going to USE Triage with on Chain Comfey? It's a physical attacker, and it gets no physical draining moves. The entire thing was made so I had something to put Quick Chain on, to replace Dugtrio now that Arena Trap is banned.Deep Sea Magcargo is unusual in that usually, Swift Swim is considered great when its available, but here, it nerfs a STAB, so Regenerator is probably better, despite the lower defenses.
Chain Comfey's new typing gets rid of the poison weakness, which is great. Triage is still probably the best ability, but trapping is useful.
Sunflower Xurkitree is a sun setter that isn't weak to water or ground, which is nice.
Pest Eradicator Aromitisse has a great typing, which is great for a Regenerator. Its other ability is great for stall breaking with Toxic.
Sky Lantern Driflblim probably wants to run Flash Fire as it's the safest choice
Dust Bunny Whimsicott will has some nice stall potential.
Snake Chamer Uxie is the friend of Fairies as it destroys poison.
Germinate means Sundew Tsareena almost has triple STAB, though it can trap as well. Nasty.
Ah. Right. Movepool issues. Still Synthesis is still nice, especially with such a good typing.What are you going to USE Triage with on Chain Comfey? It's a physical attacker, and it gets no physical draining moves. The entire thing was made so I had something to put Quick Chain on, to replace Dugtrio now that Arena Trap is banned.
Does that means that those mons are getting huge =v? Okno, but submissions coming soon :^]Well now that its been more than two days, back into submissions everybody!
I will submit, but it might take some time.
EDIT: I also buffed Oni Wigglytuff and Water Beetle Lapras's Brute Force so that it boost former Special Moves, so that it become more inline with Kaiju Tyranitar's Alpha Power who does the same thing, but also boost those former Special Moves.
I think having huge Attack, great bulk and great speed all at once would be too much. Mega Scizor is not all that fast which makes more manageable, especially with Fire-type. Stakataka have Earthquake and becomes far faster in Trick Room, making it an overkill to OU, especially considering Curse, Defend Order and Heal Order. There is a reason why Mega Salamance and Mega Metagross got the ban hammer back in the official tiers; they are strong, fast, resilience at once, and can defend themselves from supposed counters thanks to sufficient coverage. Unless you intend it to be Uber, I doubt it could be accepted.
Beehive Stakataka
Typing:
Z-Move Type:
Item: Queen Cell
Ability: Speed Leak
HP: 97 (+36)
Atk: 151 (+20)
Def: 151 (-60)
SpA: 37 (-16)
SpD: 151 (+50)
Spe: 3 (-10)
BST: 590 BST (+20)
New Moves: Attack Order, Heal Order, Defend Order, U-turn & Curse.
Design: The bricks which forms Stakataka now have the same patterns as a beehive, its eyes are red and green and it has little bug-like legs.
Competitive: Did you hate Mega-Scizor?Well, i'm sure you'll try to kill yourself every time you face this guy because well, unless you're using a fire wallbreaker or something like that you will have a really hard time trying to break past a wall with 97/151/151 bulk and access to reliable recovery. Oh, and don't forget that it has access to the strongest Gyro Ball ever with 151 Atk, 3 Speed and access to Speed Leak.
Thanks for the constructive critique, i will think about what ability could i give to Stakatakataka to make it balanced. Tinted Lens maybe?I think having huge Attack, great bulk and great speed all at once would be too much. Mega Scizor is not all that fast which makes more manageable, especially with Fire-type.

And just before you object, yes, even Kaiju Tyranitar and Sunflower Xurkitree have their weaknesses; Kaiju Tyranitar is slow and needs to use Dragon Dance in order to sweep, while Sunflower Xurkitree isn't exactly resilient and can get hindered by Paralysis (since it is not Electric-type anymore) and can get outspeed by Choice Scarf revenge killers (and Hawlucha), or walled by Chansey.
Of course, if they do ended up getting the banhammer and only available to the Uber format of Costume Combat, do not worry. At least Kaiju Tyranitar can be a better Palkia than the actual Palkia. Speaking of that poor thing...
Neptune Palkia
Typing - Water/Dark
Z-Move Type - Water
Item – Neptune's Trident
Abilities – Planet Enforcer* | Sheer Force
(Planet Enforcer: The user is not affected by Trick Room, Wonder Room, Magic Room and Entry Hazards.)
HP - 90
Atk - 90 (-30)
Def - 100
SpA - 160 (+10)
SpD – 120
Spe – 140 (+40)
BST - 700
New Moves – Calm Mind, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Backstroke, Sludge Wave
Design - Wield a long trident, with a pearl in the center of the fork. Palkia also wears a black toga, with blue wavy lines.
Competitive – Fixes Palkia's lack of stat boosting prowess and get better Abilities to make Dark Pulse, Scald, Earth Power, Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Thunderbolt/Thunder, Ice Beam/Blizzard and Focus Blast harder. Its high speed of 140 allows it to revenge kill foes that do not wears a Choice Scarf or have a speed boost, so it can take on Mewtwo (not the Mega Mewtwo X), Yveltal, certain Arceus forms, and even Ultra Necrozma and Primal Groudon themselves. That is to say, Mega Lucario, Blissey, Specially Defensive Dialga, Mega Mewtwo X, Zekrom and Pheromosa can make a quick work on it.
Gamma Guzzlord
Typing - Fighting/Dark
Z-Move Type - Fighting
Item – Gamma Orb
Abilities – Fairy Eater*
(Fairy Eater: User's Attack raise by one stage if about to be hit by any Fairy-type moves. Fairy-type immunity.)
HP - 103 (-110)
Atk - 139 (+38)
Def - 79 (+26)
SpA - 67 (-30)
SpD – 79 (+26)
Spe – 103 (+60)
BST - 590
New Moves – Hone Claws, Volt Tackle, Ice Hammer, Flare Blitz, Waterfall
Design - Wears blue jeans (very very large one), the black skin becomes green and the upper head sprouted black brows.
Competitive – While lack of Swords Dance can hurt, its versatile Physical movepool, access to Drain Punch and use of Hone Claws gives allows Gamma Guzzlord to smash through puny adversaries, with Iron Tail and Dragon Rush having better Accuracy, making it a punishing wallbreaker. Fairy Eater is also a bliss, as it get rids of its biggest weakness and boost Attack when attempted to attack with Fairy-type which does helps. However, priority moves, physical stall able to withstand Fighting and Dark, and faster threats can put a dent into it.
Beehive Stakataka
Typing:
Z-Move Type:
Item: Queen Cell
Ability: Honey Factory
Custom Ability: Honey Factory->Heals 16% of its total Hp at the end of every turn. The opponent's ability becomes Honey Gather when it hits the wielder with a contact move.
HP: 97 (+36)
Atk: 151 (+20)
Def: 151 (-60)
SpA: 37 (-16)
SpD: 151 (+50)
Spe: 3 (-10)
BST: 590 BST (+20)
New Moves: Attack Order, Heal Order, Defend Order, U-turn & Curse.
Design: The bricks which forms Stakataka now have the same patterns as a beehive, its eyes are red and green and it has little bug-like legs.
Competitive: My beloved Stakatakatakatakataka finally becomes the stupidly slow offensive tank it always wanted to be thanks to its new typing (only 1 weakness, yay), ability (unnockable leftovers+Mummy is such a great thing for walling things), stats (less defense sucks a bit, but that means more SpD and Hp) and movepool aditions (now it has recovery options and access to the slowest U-turn ever). It also can still be a good bulky sweeper thanks to its even slower speed, higher attack and acccess to Curse, but Bug/Steel is not as good offensibly as Rock/Steel and it really misses Beast Boost.
I will say, much better. While it do have access to Trick Room, it still have to set it up manually and take a move slot, and this means either Curse or Earthquake if you have to get both STABs. This also means that it becomes more vulnerable to a fast set up sweeper with a Fire-type Attack. Overall, much easier to deal with compared to the original one.Thanks for the constructive critique, i will think about what ability could i give to Stakatakataka to make it balanced. Tinted Lens maybe?
PD: Xurkitree isn't walled by Chansey as i showed at the calcs, but not having any way to boost its speed makes it easy to revenge kill.
PD2: Here's the "balanced" one:
