oh also Goji that Ditto looks slightly broken. Nearly all the mons with less HP than Ditto aren't fully evolved, and the fact that it gets guaranteed healing alongside a 170 base hp + the defenses of another mon which will probably be higher than Ditto's originals. It would be like regular ditto, but also pretty much never faint if played correctly.
At least it cannot activate if faces a +2 Battle Bond shedinja :v. And yeah, i should delete "restores all hp " of buffed transform effects :P. And.... WHY isn't ma lurantis at the spreadsheet :'v?

Oh, and making always an OHKO to boosted targets is not busted, right?
you seen marshadow and regular ditto? This is pretty much equivalent to those. If the opponent isn't stupid, they'll try and eliminate the Ditto before setting up. Who sets up versus a ditto team anyway? Yours doesn't die regardless of predictions or careful counterplay.

Also we've got concerningly few submissions so far lul

The real problem with your Ditto is that its Transform is banned by the OHKO Clause so you wouldn't even be allowed to use it, as far as I can tell

nah, because the base move doesn't carry the OHKO trait it shouldn't be blocked by ohko clause. The move buffs that Battle Bond offers are stored within the ability code, not the move code.

alolan marowak seems too swingy based on RNG
if you get SD you can OHKO nearly everything
 

Brock-Marowak

Base Stats: 60 HP / 80 Atk / 130 Def (+20) / 50 SpA / 120 SpD (+40) / 95 Spe (+50)
Battle Bond Activation: Knock Out a Pokémon using a Bone move (Bone Club, Bonemerang, Shadow Bone, Bone Rush).
Buffed Move: Bonemerang
Move Changes: Hits airborne Pokémon à la Thousand Arrows
Rationale: Brock has a Marowak in the SM Animé so I guess it fits :)
Competitive: Keeps the same monstruos Attack stat but gains some extra bulk and an actual great Speed tier, Bonemerang also hurts a lot since Flying-typed like Celesteela and Skarmory now actually get destroyed by it!

Kiawe-Alolan-Marowak

Base Stats: 60 HP / 80 Atk / 120 Def (+10) / 50 SpA / 130 SpD (+50) / 95 Spe (+50)
Battle Bond Activation: Knock Out a Pokémon using a Bone move (Bone Club, Bonemerang, Shadow Bone, Bone Rush).
Buffed Move: Shadow Bone
Move Changes: Hits Normal-typed Pokémon à la Thousand Arrows
Rationale: Kiawe has an Alola Marowak in the SM Animé so I guess it fits :)
Competitive: Keeps the same monstruos Attack stat but gains some extra bulk and an actual great Speed tier, Shadow Bone also hurts a lot since Normal-types can't switch into it anymore.

Kiawe-Marowak-Alola
Typing: Fire / Ghost
Base Stats: 110 / 90 / 110 / 50 / 80 / 95
(+50 HP +10 Atk +50 Spe)
Battle Bond Activation: Get hit by an attack Marowak is immune to.
Buffed Move: Flame Wheel
Move Changes: 40 BP. Obtains the properties of Pursuit.
Rationale: Kiawe has an Alolan Marowak.
Competitive: With a much higher HP stat, Kiawe-Marowak-A can spam Flare Blitzes and take alot more damage than its regular counterpart. It's much higher speed skyrockets its speed tiers to allow it to tie with Zygarde and Tapu Lele, two matchups its regular form wouldn't like to face. Flame Wheel is now a Fire types Pursuit, which gives Kiawe-Awak a completely unexplored niche as a Pursuit trapper. And its slightly increased Attack stat only makes Kiawe-Awak a more powerful wallbreaker. And thanks to Battle Bond triggering whenever it gets hit by an attack its immune to, Kiawe-Awak can pivot into Fighting and Normal types and easily go all out.


Otoshi-Marowak
Typing:
Ground / Dark
Base Stats: 100 / 120 / 110 / 50 / 110 / 45
(+40 HP +40 Atk +30 SpD)
Battle Bond Activation: Get hit by an attack that Marowak is immune to.
Buffed Move: Bone Rush
Move Changes: +1 priority. Always hits three times.
Rationale: Otoshi's Marowak is the first one to premiere in the anime, so I feel its special.
Competitive: Otoshi-Marowak hits REALLY hard with Thick Club + 120 Attack. That base 45 speed also easily gets circumvented by Bone Rush's priority, turning Otoshi-Marowak into a potent revengekiller. STAB Knock Off is also a very welcome addition to its arsenal. Its Mew level bulk gives it alot of meaty switchin potential. Triggering its transformation via switching in on Electric attacks also makes Otoshi-Marowak very easy to trigger and turns it into a super threat. Man I just wanna see a Belly Drum set take off


Keith-Farfetch'd
Typing:
Normal / Flying
Base Stats: 52 / 140 / 55 / 48 / 62 / 130
(+50 Atk -10 SpA +70 Spe)
Battle Bond Activation: Switch in on an opponent faster than it.
Buffed Move: Aerial Ace
Move Changes: 100 BP. Increased crit ratio.
Rationale: I'm sure Keith is the only guy in the anime to own a Farfetch'd.
Competitive: Keith-Farfetch'd is alot stronger and faster than the normal Farfetch'd, and certainly will be a bonafied threat in whatever tier its settled in. Keith-Farfetch'd has a meaty 130 Attack stat, which combined with High powered STABs make it a fearsome breaker. Aerial Ace combined with Stick always gets a crit, allowing it to bust up walls and have a powerful Flying STAB without drawbacks. If more conventional items are your cup of tea, Choice Band and Life Orb are two great options. Don't try setting up a Swords Dance though, as your paper thin bulk might let you down. Nonetheless, Keith-Farfetch'd is a menace to Offensive teams.

I like it, but to keep it as similar to the original battle bond as possible you're only meant to modify three stats (although this could be subject to change if people want it to be). Good to see that this Mod has somewhat taken your interest though! :)

Umm, actually you can!
I see no problem with being able to self vote tbh, if everyone does it, it ends up balancing out. Also it won't matter if we switch to the open slate anyway. I feel like the open slate style definitely can work out well, seeing as its a similar system to the Metagame Workshop in that one person posts an idea and gets suggestions. It just really doesn't seem like the restrictions this pet mod puts on the battle bond forms will allow for very diverse ideas if we have to stick to a specific mon and having a dedicated poll won't change the end result all that much in many situations.

That quote you referenced was back when we were using the old submission system and I didn't really care, as I did in fact specify. Basically you misread both posts and then responded with a sassy "umm" to Luke. Nice going, please be a bit more careful next time :^)
