First of all, I believe a more fitting name for your concept idea would be "Bulky Revenge Killer", since "Defensive Revenge Killer" is an oxymoron. More importantly, however, I see little justification for why we would want a bulky revenge killer--as you note, there would be strong balance issues. A Pokemon that is very strong AND very fast AND very bulky? That sounds like an offensive player's dream.

A pretty good idea.

My major concern with this concept is that I'm not sure that the concept is unexplored; Mew seems to fit the description to a "T".

I like this concept, all the more because "how do we actually do that?" isn't as immediately obvious as it is with many of the concepts that have been suggested. A more catchy name would be nice (perhaps something like "The Jab"?)!

This reminds me of a variant on Admiral_Korski's concept. The main difference seems to be the emphasis on slowing the pace of the momentum rather than totally reversing it.

I think this concept is a little too vague as currently written--it could produce Porygon-Z or Salamence or Jirachi or almost any other Pokemon indiscriminately simply because we would have almost no direction as to where to start. In fact, I think the first discussion thread would be basically a second concept thread, simply because the concept would almost entirely lack direction.

I think this would make an excellent concept (even though I personally hate stall...).

An okay concept in itself, no doubt, but I am concerned about designing CAP1's concept to depend on a factor as volatile as Drizzle--who knows whether Drizzletoed will even be around after this round of Suspect testing?

Almost exactly the same concern I have with Dummy007's concept, only more so. Drought is toeing the line so closely in OU as is that I am worried about what would happen to the metagame if we gave it another premium sweeper.

Good concept in terms of requiring creativity, in terms of giving direction, in terms of not being confiningly specific. The only real question I am left with is "why do this?" What would the benefit be of having one Pokemon that could function very well in any type of Weather?

This would be an interesting concept, particularly since it's not all that easy to get to work, yet still at least plausible.

I believe that there are already many, many Pokemon like this.
