4 Move Counters for each Pokemon
2 Dream Counter for each Pokemon
4 Evolution Counters for each Pokemon
4 Currency Counters
3 Valor Counters
8 KO Counters - to be used on any of the Pokémon brought for the raid
I assume that we post raid-only claims in the Raid thread? Regardless, there are still normal prizes to claim.*
I gain 4 CC, plus an additional 7 for being my first completion of Stormrage Depths, bringing my total to 13. I will be using those later in this claim.
Seeing as his EC/DC are maxed, I believe Slawter gets 6 MC rather than 4? Using these, I would like to buy the moves Earthquake, Safeguard, and Fire Punch (BW TM, 2C), leaving me with 0 MC.
Optimus Bisharp! Your time of reckoning has come! Prepare to experience what it's like to be the mightiest member of your race!
(Assuming Bisharp gains 6MC also) I will use all 8 KOC as MC, bringing his total to 20 (6+8+6 stockpiled). Using these MC and 14 UC as MC, I would like to buy these moves:
Level-Up (1MC): Embargo, Slash
Egg (3MC): Headbutt, Mean Look
BW TM/BW Tutor (2MC): Attract, Dark Pulse, False Swipe, Fling, Foul Play, Rock Smash, Round, Sandstorm, Snarl, Snore, Spite, Swagger, Theif
This leaves me with 0 MC and 28 UC. Additionally, Bisharp now has a complete movepool. (:D)
Using 6 MC, I would like to buy an Exp. Share for 6 CC, a Drilbur for 2 CC, and a Bronzor for 2 CC, leaving me with 3 CC.
Drilbur (The Boulder) (M)
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
Type:
Ground: Ground STAB; Immune to all electrical attacks, can Dig through almost any substance, Evasive Digging reduced from 6 per action Energy Cost to 5 per action, superior senses in darkened cave surroundings.
Abilities:
Sand Rush
Innate
This Pokemon thrives in Sandstorm conditions, feeling more at home in them than all other Pokemon. This Pokemon's Base Speed is doubled (x2) in a Sandstorm. Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.
Sand Force
Innate
This Pokemon thrives in Sandstorm conditions, using the power of the swirling sand to augment its Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks. Each of this Pokemon's Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks will have the Base Attack Power increased by two (2). Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.
Mold Breaker (DW Locked)
Innate
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)
Additionally, I would like to buy the move Drill Run (BW Level-Up, 1 MC), using 1 UC, leaving me with 27 UC. (Not yet added into Drilbur's data)
Bronzor (Tsar)
Nature: Brave (+Atk, -Spe, -10% Evasion)
Type:
Steel: Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories.
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Abilities:
Levitate
Innate
This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit.
Heatproof
Innate
This Pokemon's mirror-like alloyed skin protects it from Fire-type attacks, reducing the type effectiveness of Fire-typed attacks to the next level of resistance (2x weak becomes neutral, neutral becomes resistance, etc.) The damage inflicted by burns is also cut in half.
Heavy Metal (DW Locked)
Innate
The Pokemon's body structure is immensely dense, doubling its actual weight. Adds two (2) Base Attack Power to all Weight-Based Attacks. Adds Base Attack Power to Gyro Ball equal to half (0.5x) the Pokemon's Weight Class, rounded up.
Abra will use all three KOC as EC, bringing it to 6EC and evolving. It will learn all the moves it learns upon evolution, plus Psychic (LU (1)).
Sneasel will evolve, unlock Pickpocket, and learn all the moves it learns upon evolution, plus Night Slash (LU (1)) and Double Team (BWTM (2)).
Zubat will learn Fly (BWTM (2)).
Axew will put its two KOC into EC, bringing it to 3EC. It will learn the LU moves Guillotine and Outrage for 2MC.
Litwick will get the LU moves Shadow Ball and Hex for 2MC.
Weavile [UU] (M)
Nature: Adamant
Dark: Dark STAB; immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Ice: Ice STAB; immune to freezing and Sheer Cold, no vision loss or damage in Hail or snowstorm conditions, perfectly accurate and 30% Protect breaking Blizzard in Hail. Superior senses and mobility in frozen caves and other frigid arenas.
Abilities:
Pressure (Innate):
This Pokemon’s presence fills the air with intense anxiety, and any damaging or status attack launched at this Pokemon costs the opposing Pokemon two (2) more energy to perform.
Pickpocket (Innate) (DW, unlocked):
This Pokemon's mischievous nature and greed make it very effective at pawning off an opponents item. If this Pokemon has no item and either it or the opposing Pokemon strikes with a contact attack, their item is stolen and becomes the held item of this Pokemon. Pokemon with Pickpocket can be commanded to swap items with an ally, and only they will need to expend an action to do so because of their swifter sleight of hand.
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Abilities:
Synchronize:
Innate
Pokemon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Due to their body structure, Poison-types cannot be poisoned and Fire-types cannot be burned in this manner.
Inner Focus:
Innate
When an opponent attempts to flinch this Pokemon, it stands firm and continues its attack. If it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability activates.
Magic Guard (DW, locked):
Innate
This Pokemon is infused with a powerful psycho-electric energy that makes it immune to damage from Spikes, Stealth Rock, Hail, Sandstorm, Leech Seed, Poisoning, and Burn. It can still attack itself in confusion, but will not take any damage from it. Additionally, the energy protects the Pokemon from its own reckless recoil attacks. Toxic still increases in damage each round, although if Magic Guard is in effect the Pokemon will not suffer any damage. Life Orb recoil is not negated.
I get 2 CC, stockpiling.
Huggable the Voodoom gets 3 MC. She will spend her 4 stockpiled MC on the BW TM Moves Protect and Double Team, bringing her total MC count to 3.
Zombocalypse the Shuppet gets 2 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC. He will spend those MC on the B2W2 Tutor Move Pain Split.
SOS: Approved+.1
Zarator: Approved+.1
Waterwarrior: Approved+.1

DFrog: Approved+.1
someoneelse: Approved+.1

Ullar: Approved+.1
Espy: Approved+.1
SoS, zarator, waterwarrior, Complications (check to see if Bisharp has 74 moves and don't use asterisks to mark starting moves) (+.1), DFrog, KS, Ullar APPROVED.
Someoneelse: tell us explicitly the moves that a Pokemon gains upon evolving, especially if you're going to change format from the format you have in your profile because it's a pain to cross-reference both lists, figure out which move are in one but not the other, then check those against the list of level-up moves a Pokemon learns. APPROVED nonetheless.
Porygon2 will stockpile from 6/7/3 to 8/10/4.
Venonat [Venomoth] will use the 5 MC on Giga Drain (BW Tut) and String Shot (Past Tut).
Sigilyph will use the 5 MC on Cosmic Power, Synchronoise (LU), Heat Wave (BW Tut) and stockpile 1.
