We must consider, since this is a new region, there need to be things... for one not every mon is... viable.
There will be the Pachirisu/Dedenne types, the Unowns, and things like that should work, but there's just a few flaws.
Now, the trick is, doing it well. Remember, if everything is gold, then gold will lose its value.
Enough about that, here's a feature: Ability Tutors.
Most pokemon gain access to one or two abilities to unlock for new playstyles.
In other things, here are a few ideas for new abilities.
Shaman Mask - For the first turn this Pokemon is in play, it cannot be damaged directly.

Many of these abilities seem overpowered. Especially Pure Velocity: with a Timid Nature and Max Speed, Accelgor effectively has fully invested 164 Atk and SpA while Electrode has effectively fully invested 158 offenses and both can invest 256 EVs into their hp/defenses. Also Agility is basically Shell Smash without the lowered defenses
Lol at all those fairy retypes- I think u broke every single one of them. I don't know what happened to Game Freak that forced them to make such a broken type. Resistance to U-Turn and Knock Off, immunity to dragons and 2 worthless weaknesses is pretty much GF trolling us. And imo having Fairies resist your Magic-type is a terrible idea- Fairy is already very broken as is.
On a more serious note, I had 2 new types in mind myself and I encourage you to look further into them. While they may not make perfect sense flavor-wise, I believe they do make perfect sense competitive-wise.

Hi, i always had the same thougths, and i would suggest to you change the name cosmic to Alien. And why have you gave so many weaknesses and resistances to them? They dont need to be immune or innefective against certain types too.
I would make light super effective against dark and vice versa, coz you know...
Your weakness/resistance table is somewhat strange and dont make much sense at all, imho.
I'm tired now, but tomorrow i can help you with this.

To be fair about Magic and Fairy, it comes directly from this list which is my dream chart... though I may make revisions. In an earlier version, Fairy was... hurt. Coming into a fairly competent type chart as is, it was shafted, at first gaining weaknesses moreso than resists. Heck, as an attack type it gained nothing but 4 new resists in wood, wind, acid, and magic. In the end, one had to go, and I chose magic... that was before this idea ever sought out a magic type and I decided to give it a shot.

Just wanted to make some types more balanced, and others more dynamic. It's not supposed to always work flavor wise, but competitive value is more important than flavor. Also, Dark is already bad defensively, being weak to 2 powerful types and U-Turn.
My rule of thumb is that no type should be resisted by more than 7 types, nor super effective against more than 6. If that number is 6, you'd better have a good balancing factor, like two types being immune to Light.
Also, avoid the potential for a type combo to have more than 2 4x weaknesses. Nobody wants to fear THREE attack types more than life itself.
Those are just my thoughts though.

Did...did you not even read the list? Weather abilities are Gen 5 style now.
I'll grant you that Fairy is a bit OP. I think I'll change its Bug resistance and the Magic resistance.
I'd prefer to keep it at one new type, for now. Perhaps when Gen 7 is done, we can do Gen 8. :D
I actually love these ideas. The only OP thing I see is Stuntman on Regigigas.
wow! this thread has really slowed down, perhaps a druddigon evolution would spice things up!
Draggoron (a mixture of dragon and goron for all you Zelda fans)
evolves by: using a terra stone (new: Related to ground type/cave dwelling pokemon) on druddigon
type: Dragon/Rock
abilities: sheer force/rough skin/Unstoppable (new: takes x0.75 from direct attacks when using direct attacks)(HA)
stats: 80/125/94/72/94/90 BST:555
movepool: +druddigon's movepool, +stone edge, +Dragon Rush, +Dragon Dance, +Knock off, +Head smash, +rock polish

Why make a new item that could be fulfilled by just having it evolve by trade or something? It would add unnecessary coding for an item that has no use. And why is an evolution of Druddigon as fast as Garchomp, two Pokemon that should never be in the same sentence unless you're talking about physical dragons. But if you change Draggoron into something more like Druddigon, it'll be like Mineroryu. A bulky, slow, physical Dragon / Rock.
the item was for flavor, it doesn't need to be coded, and, technically, Draggoron's faster than garchomp, but I will make the speed more druddigon-ish
also, I thought of another signature ability for Noctowl
Vast Knowledge:
flavor description: allows a pokemon to maintain more knowledge and excel in more areas.
technical description: raises the EV limit to 756.
with that, all it needs is a +15 or +20 to its BST

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA
you're saying
it can have decent bulk in HP
and speed / satk
OR
5 moves
noctowl would be on every team and way to unpredictable ESPECIALLY with another stat buff
maybe no stat boosts would be best, seeing as with these two abilities and its now great typing in flying/ghost it is really good. In addition to being able to use that stat spread, it could go defensive with an EV spread like this: 252HP/252Def/252Sp.D, perhaps that ability IS too unpredictable, at least it can't escape its horrible speed without a scarf, and I doubt it would like being choiced.
In theory, it sounds very powerful, but Noctowl would REALLY be held back offensively by it's stats, and altho it has some good bulk, a remotely powerful physical attacker (AKA every offensive dark type) could easily break through it, if it does get any stat boosts, I'm thinking a +10 to speed and/or Sp.A would be nice as it currently only has 70 in speed and 76in Sp.A. I don't think it would hurt the metagame to much for it to have semi-decent stats

In my opinion, Flygon is actually a great special attacker. I run Heat Wave/ Earth Power/ Dragon Pulse/ Giga Drain. An alternative is Draco Meteor/ Flamethrower/ Earth Power/ Sunny Day with Heat Rock

I am proud to announce that I think Sylveria is ready to be coded! I will update OP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I PROMISE. It should definitely be done by Monday.
Also, I apologize about the massively long break from any activity. Hopefully you're all still here. I also apologize about the Fixmons drama. I assure you I support it, but I think it's an overused idea.

I just wanna say that you might wanna refrain from boosting hp from base to mega. Also rather than anounce those now you might wanna see what gamefreak is doing with them as they are the most likely candidates for recieving megas(some have megas annonced already)
They aren't assumptions, they're additions. And I see the problem with adding hp to megas but I dont think most of these can function how they should without the boosts.
they may not function as well but that kinda kills the point of a "generation 7" if you make something happen that can't in the actual game as of now.
buuuutt generation 7 is a new generation so there are more mechanics and stuff
Maybe, but still it would mess up the current coding and stuff, right?(i have no idea how to code so idk) So to be safe, we can take away the hp boosts and relocate them, OK? Also Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon as names are confirmed, so i'm not sure there will be Omega Groudon and Alpha Kyogre, though those are better names. Also what's with that green thing in swampert's pic lol
I'll make alternate versions just incase. I literally found out about Primals while on Bulbapedia, I had no idea but I prefer this idea to keep them from being OP by taking away their item freedom. The green thing in Swampert's pic is the deviantart user's watermark
