Welcome to LC Theorymons!
Key Information:
Anyways...
Welcome to the Theorymon Project of 6th gen's LC. Here, every few days, we will be discussing a list of 4 Pokemon, all of which will have little to zero viability in LC, and all of which have an additional move / ability / typing that they didn't originally have. After all the theorymons have been sufficiently discussed, the voting will commence, which will last exactly one day.
How will this list of Pokemon be created each time? I will be accepting ideas from the community and I may also put some of my own ideas into a relatively small slate (4-5 Pokemon) each time. Every Pokemon that wins on each voting will be recorded in the archive, together with the name of the person who submitted it. All submissions will be sent to all the council, listed below, via VM or PM.
At the end of every month, we will have roughly ~6 new Pokemon.
Here are some general rules that each theorymon suggestion should follow:
And here is a suggestion to make your theorymon more likely to get picked and give you a better idea of what we are looking for in this thread:
Also, advice to anyone that wants to submit a theorymon. Don't suggest mindless offensive buffs. The metagame is already very offensive and we don't need more powerhouses, such as Extremespeed Eevee and Shell Smash Squirtle. If you want to suggest something offensive, you should be sure that it adds something positive to the metagame and is not just one more powerful attacker.
For this reason, defensive buffs are more what i am looking for. Giving to not so viable Pokemon buffs that will allow them to successfully fill a defensive niche in the LC metagame. If your suggestion does that and doesn't contradict the flavor of the Pokemon, it's very likely to get slated. This doesn't mean that suggestions about offensive buffs won't get slated, just that I will be much more careful about them, and I will only pick them if they come along with some utility instead of sheer force.
So, please before submitting your suggestion, take a second to think about how this suggestion will fit in the metagame. This thread is not so that we can talk about mindless buffs to random Pokemon, but for us to find ways to improve the LC metagame by giving buffs to not so viable or completely unviable Pokemon.

And last but not least, here is the council that will be running this thread and will be choosing the slates:
The council helps lead discussion and will accept theorymons, and are a figure of authority here. If you are a recognized contributor to the thread, you may earn a spot in our council.
Welcome to LC Theorymons!
Key Information:
- There is now a council for LC Theorymons.
- Slates will be cycling a bit irregularly, ranging from every 4 days to a week. This is completely subjective on the amount of activity there is, so the activity doesn't stop dead.
- The title will be updated to reflect slate and voting
- Voting will take place in the thread

Here are some general rules that each theorymon suggestion should follow:
- Don't suggest changes about Pokemon that are already pretty viable in LC. Of course the term 'pretty viable' is open to interpretation, so to be more specific, everything in C+ rank and below in the viability ranking thread is fair game.
- Don’t suggest changes that make or may make a Pokemon broken
- Only theorymon ideas that bring positives to the LC 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. Eg. Adding a Grass type to Flabebe, or changing Gastly from Ghost / Poison to Ghost / (insert other type)
- 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.
- I'd really like if you made no comments on 'lol this thread was unnecessary' because there is a legitimate reason for it :L
- No bashing other people's opinion
- Only Pokemon in B- and lower can be discussed for Theorymons. For reference, here are the Viability Rankings.
