Shamelessly stolen from NU; thanks Raseri and Mysteria :]
The UU Theorymon Project
Here, we will be discussing potential buffs (a new ability, a new move, or a new typing) on a Pokemon, and how it will positively impact its niche in the UU metagame. I'm also going to allow for some ORAS theorymoning, but please just stick to the confirmed Mega-Evolutions and what effect they may have on the UU metagame.
I am making some changes from the NU version of this thread however. There will be 4 Pokemon per round, one for each type of buff as shown:
When discussing the suspects, here is what you want to be looking at:
This week's suspects are...
Jolteon | Slowking | Escavalier | Goodra
Edit: On behalf of the moderators in this subforum, I'll be extensively moderating this thread. I don't want this to become a hole for shitposting like the Cores Thread did. Follow the above rules and think before posting, and everybody will get along fine :]

I am making some changes from the NU version of this thread however. There will be 4 Pokemon per round, one for each type of buff as shown:
- New move
- New ability
- New typing
- New stats
When discussing the suspects, here is what you want to be looking at:
- How will this buff positively impact the Pokemon?
- How will this buff impact the entire UU Metagame?
- Is this buff outclassed by other Pokemon?
- Can this Pokemon now take on different roles?
- Will this Pokemon see a rise in the Viabilty Ranking thread? By how much and why?
- Don't suggest changes about Pokemon that are already pretty viable in UU. Of course the term 'pretty viable' is open to interpretation, so to be more specific, everything in B rank and below in the Viability Ranking thread is fair game.
- Don’t suggest changes that may make a Pokemon broken
- Only theorymon ideas that bring positives to the UU metagame and have useful implications will be picked, which means no Huge Power on random Pokemon and other similar buffs.
- You can only add a secondary typing to Pokemon of one type, or change the second type of a dual-typed Pokemon.
- Those changes should at the very least not contradict flavor. They don’t have to fit a Pokemon’s flavor perfectly, but don’t suggest a secondary Fire-type for Grass-types for example.
- If you change the stats to a Pokemon, its BST can only increase by 20. Stats can be rearranged however, but cannot be decreased or increased by more than 20 as well.
