Concept: Gravity Guy
Description: A Pokemon which can introduce Gravity into the OU, by means of manipulating the move in an effective manner.

Justification: Gravity is almost never used in the current metagame, unless serving in a niche or gimmick role. This concept aims to introduce Gravity into common ground, so more professional players can use the move with less difficulty.

Questions To Be Answered:
  • Is Gravity a good enough move to be introduced to the OU, even with this Pokemon?
  • Is this Pokemon viable in OU when not included in a Gravity Team?
  • Can this Pokemon introduce other less-common Pokemon into OU?
  • Are brilliant stats, new moves or amazing abilities needed for this Pokemon to serve its role?
  • Which battle strategies will be fundamental with the use of this Pokemon?
  • Which OU-based Pokemon will sink to a lesser stage of use once this Pokemon is introduced?
Explanation: I think this concept shows a real challenge when creating this Pokemon, yet the options or roads this Pokemon could take is endless. The typing can be almost anything, and can be used to provide a counter for Pokemon which can stall Gravity Teams, yet can also serve as a guidance towards Gravity-based Pokemon, such as Clefable, Dusknoir and Metagross. Art designs are, one again, limitless. One road I don't want this Pokemon to take is the weather/wonder guard path, as they often limit creation, or are too commonly talked about in CAP.
