Pet Mod Mega Revolution [Slate 25: Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert]

:glalie-mega::glucke cuddly pqrdg
:abomasnow-mega:: cuddly cyaneedle pqrdg
:froslass-mega:: turtlek pileoftrubbish pqrdg
:crabominable-mega:: reeonthetreet(sv) glucke cuddly
 
Was gonna insert a gif but it was too large, so I'll skip the joke and get to the winners.

Here are the winners!
:glalie-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Glalie
New Pokémon Name: Cryognaw
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80 HP / 110 Atk / 100 Def / 80 SpA / 80 SpD / 110 Spe
Typing: Ice/Dark
Abilities
: Strong Jaw / Refrigerate | HA: Moody
Movepool Additions: Swords Dance, Fake Out, Snarl, Sucker Punch, Rock Polish, Head Charge, Thunder Fang, Punishment, Jaw Lock, Stone Edge
Niche: A strong physical wallbreaker, that can either spec into Refrigerate wallbreaker sets or try it's hand at Strong Jaw variants, both making it distinct from OU darling Weavile.

Mega being Revolved: :abomasnow-mega:
New Pokémon Name: Snorest (Snow + Forest)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats:
HP: 110 (+20)
Atk: 97 (+5)
Def: 90 (+15)
SpA: 97 (+5)
SpD: 100 (+15)
Spe: 70 (+10)
BST: 564 (+70)
Typing:
Grass
Ice

Abilities: Snow Warning HA: Grassy Surge
Movepool Additions:
:Abomasnow:
Nasty Plot, Flip Turn, Slack Off, Terrain Pulse
Niche: The only real way to make Snorest any good based off Abamasnow's stats is to make it like Pelipper/Rillaboom. Being either a Snow setter or a Grassy Terrain setter. It actually uses its lower speed to its advantage by letting it make like a tree and getting out of the battle slower with Flip Turn. And while defensively, Grass/Ice has a lot to be desired, it is pretty good offensively as it threatens Water types with its Grass STAB that otherwise wall its Ice coverage, while on the flip side its Ice STAB threatens Flying and Grass types.

:froslass-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Froslass
New Pokémon Name: Freezeress
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80 / 80 / 70 / 110 / 100 / 120
Typing: Ice / Ghost
Abilities: Snow Warning | Cursed Body
Movepool Additions: Dazzling Gleam, Mystical Fire, Play Rough, Fairy Wind, Misty Explosion, Dark Pulse, Foul Play, Aura Sphere
Niche: Fast Ice-type attacker with Snow Warning, nothing special, but it works.

:crabominable-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Crabominable
New Pokémon Name: Crabarbarian
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 107 HP / 153 Atk / 83 Def / 70 SpA / 72 SpD / 48 Spe
Typing: Fighting/Ice
Abilities
: Hyper Cutter / Iron Fist | HA: Slush Rush
Movepool Additions: Mach Punch, Hammer Arm
Niche: I just imagined what if Crabominable evolved like Conkeldurr. So we have Crabarbarian, who has an insanely high Attack stat and a useful STAB priority option in Mach Punch. It's bulkier than Conk but it's defensive typing is a lot worse, and doesn't hit as hard due to no Guts. Still a fearsome wallbreaker.


I will update everything in a bit. Meanwhile, we'll move right onto the next slate.

Slate 4: The Unovan Way
:excadrill-mega::chandelure-mega::golurk-mega:​

Mega being Revolved:
New Pokémon Name:
Type of Pokemon: (Evo, Split Evo, Alt Forme)
Stats:
Typing:
Abilities:
Movepool Additions:
Niche:
For all Pokemon:
  1. All Pokemon must be evolutions.
  2. You can add moves to the base formes movepools. Not exclusive to evolutions.
  3. No lowering stats. Switching attacking stats and lowering speed is allowed though.
  4. No custom elements.
For :excadrill-mega: Mega Excadrill specifically:
  1. Must be Ground-type
  2. Must have "Piercing Drill" as an ability
  3. You can add 0-50 BST
  4. Must have 2 abilites
For :chandelure-mega: Mega Chandelure specifically:
  1. Must be Ghost- and Fire-type
  2. Must have "Infiltrator" as an ability
  3. You can add 0-40 BST
  4. Must have 3 abilites
For :golurk-mega: Mega Golurk specifically:
  1. Must be Ground and Ghost-type
  2. Must have "Unseen Fist" as an ability
  3. You can add 40-70 BST
  4. Must have 3 abilites

Side Note for :excadrill-mega::golurk-mega:
As you may or may not know, in Champions Unseen Fist has been nerfed to only do 25% of its damage when it hits through protect. Since Unseen Fist already exists and affects two other Pokemon, having Piercing Drill have a nerfed version feels awkward and out of place. So, it's your turn to decide: How should we treat these two abilities?
  1. Let both do full damage through protect
  2. Let both do 25% of the damage through protect
  3. Let Unseen Fist be as it is and keep the damage reduction for Piercing Drill only.

:excadrill-mega: :kleavor:
Mega being Revolved: Excadrill-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Wrecksadrill (Wrecks Excadrill.)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110/137/83/52/70/98
Typing: Ground / Rock
Abilities: Piercing Drill / Sand Force
Movepool Additions:
:Excadrill:: Megahorn, Superpower,
:Excadrill-Mega:: Stone Axe, Close Combat,
Niche: Unblockable Stone Axe..! At the cost of a worse defensive typing. Pretty solid offensively, though! Kleavor upgrade due to higher speed and technically higher attack, but pays dearly with 2 4x weaknesses and a litany of other common faults including inaccurate Rock STAB (also head smack). Originally had Accelerock but i'm Joe Balance.

:chandelure-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Chandelure-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Girandiose (Grandiose + Girandole)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80/75/90/150/90/75
Typing: Ghost / Fire
Abilities: Levitate / Prankster // Infiltrator
Movepool Additions:
:chandelure:: Infernal Parade
:chandelure-mega:: Trick, Taunt, Draining Kiss, Giga Drain, Lunar Dance
Niche: Can't get enough of levitating ghosts. Focuses a bit less on offense, and more on being a general annoyance / VERY good support mon with Prankster-boosted (maybe even infiltrator..!) moves. Or it can serve as a faux-ground switch-in. Kind of odd stats-wise as they're distributed in a weirdly balanced manner, but this guy's a floater.

:golurk-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Golurk-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Golmantle (thanks Seito Chinchou)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 109/134/90/65/80/55
Typing: Ground / Ghost
Abilities: Unseen Fist / No Guard // Aftermath
Movepool Additions:
:golurk:: Headlong Rush
:golurk-mega:: Precipice Blades, Head Smash, Focus Blast.
Niche: fissure as a flavor addition. Strong TR Breaker with NOOOO setup moves REKT LMAO. but in return, you get quake on roids, Ground CC, and head smack!


Piercing Drill + Unseen Fist:
Let both do full damage through Protect. they shalln't be punished for Urshifu's warcrimes.

:excadrill-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Excadrill
New Pokémon Name: Talpadrill (Talpa is latin for mole)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110/135/60/50/65/88 -> 125/150/90/50/70/70 (+15/+15/+30/+0/+5/-18)
Typing: Ground/Steel
Abilities: Piercing Drill / Iron Barbs
Movepool Additions
:
:drilbur: Accelerock, Magnitude, Spikes
:excadrill: Body Press, Flash Cannon, Gyro Ball, Hard Press, Heavy Slam, Ice Spinner, Steel Roller, Stone Edge, Superpower
:excadrill-mega: Fire Spin, Flame Charge, Headlong Rush, Heat Crash, Hyper Drill, Meteor Mash, Mortal Spin, Spin Out, Supercell Slam, Temper Flare, Wild Charge
Niche: This new drilling friend has more bulk and power, at the cost of a good chunk of Speed. Iron Barbs is a fitting defensive option for its new physically bulky stat spread. Also a bunch of coverage and some interesting flavour moves. A lot of Fire moves here because of how much heat a giant drill like this would make. Considered making this Ground/Fire but worried it would overshadow the Charizard evos if I pushed this too far.
(Ice Spinner is such a good "spinning" move alongside Spin Out and Gyro Ball, so I am stealing that. Thanks G-Luke!)

:chandelure-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Chandelure
New Pokémon Name: Kandelabrum
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 60/55/90/145/90/80 -> 90/55/110/150/90/60 (+30/+0/+20/+5/+0/-20)
Typing: Ghost/Fire
Abilities: Flame Body / Infiltrator / Turboblaze
Movepool Additions
:
:litwick: Destiny Bond, Flame Wheel, Light Screen, Moonlight, Mystical Fire, Ominous Wind, Shadow Sneak
:chandelure:Dazzling Gleam, Fiery Dance, Phantom Force, Power Gem, Spirit Shackle
:chandelure-mega: Body Press, Flash Cannon, Heat Crash, Infernal Parade, Moonblast
Niche: All right, I made a huge change to the stats after sitting on this for a while. This evolution gets a huge buff to its defensive profile, a solid buff to its damage, and a lot of coverage and utility, but in exchange has a decent drop to its Speed. If you can somehow set up Trick Room for it it should be excellent, but it will still be a hard-hitting Special Attacker that can tank a few hits.

:golurk-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Golurk
New Pokémon Name: Golumecha
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 89/124/80/55/80/55 -> 93/150/84/55/84/84 (+4/+26/+4/+0/+4/+29)
Typing: Ground/Ghost
Abilities: Unseen Fist / No Guard / Steely Spirit
Movepool Additions
:
:golett:Autotomize, Iron Head, Night Daze, Rock Climb, Shadow Sneak, Smart Strike
:golurk: Circle Throw, Headlong Rush, Meteor Mash, Rage Fist, Sky Uppercut, Wild Charge
:golurk-mega: Overheat, Precipice Blades, Psyshield Bash, Supercell Slam
Niche: Golurk is already a solid Pokemon held back by its low Speed. A slight buff to its offenses and defenses and a huge bump to its speed should make it a very potent threat. Rage Fist becomes a more reliable Ghost STAB, and Steely Spirit Meteor Mash (or Heavy Slam) becomes a nice third STAB.

:excadrill-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Excadrill
New Pokémon Name: Drillerate (Drill + Obliterate or Accelerate)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 120 HP / 140 Atk / 80 Def / 112 SpA / 65 SpD / 33 Speed (550 BST)
Typing: Ground / Steel
Abilities: Piercing Drill | Compound Eyes (HA)
Movepool Additions: Stone Edge, Spin Out, Rapid Spin, Taunt, Flash Cannon, Mirror Shot, Power Gem, Vacuum Wave, Ice Spinner, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Sludge Bomb, Blizzard, Thunder, Nasty Plot
Niche: Contrasting Excadrill’s fast sweeper in Sandstorm and benefit of Eviolite, Drillerate focus on mixed attacking stats and better physical bulk vs Eviolite-less Excadrill, with Piercing Drill making progress through Protect by dealing reduced but still important damage, or Compound Eyes for it’s wallbreaking special set composed of BoltBeam in Thunder and Blizzard, or Focus Blast. Spin Out provides a powerful Steel STAB, with the penalty of -2 Speed being more severe on Excadrill. Rapid Spin and Taunt provides utility for both it and Excadrill.

:chandelure-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Chandelure
New Pokémon Name: Girandeth (Girandole + corruption of “death”)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 85 HP / 65 Atk / 90 Def / 150 SpA / 100 SpD / 60 Speed (550 BST)
Typing: Ghost / Fire
Abilities: Flash Fire / Cursed Body | Infiltrator (HA)
Movepool Additions: Psyshock, Infernal Parade
Niche: Focusing on enhancing Chandelure’s bulk, Infernal Parade allows it for burning foes and punish those sticking around despite a burn, at cost of initial power compared to Shadow Ball. It doesn’t need much new moves to be really threatening, though it’s defensive type and bulk are still average even in the Mega-less environment, leaving it vulnerable against Ground-type physical sweepers or revenge killers, as well as faster Ghost-type like Gholdengo.

:golurk-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Golurk
New Pokémon Name: Goldeliath (Golden + Goliath)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 119 HP / 144 Atk / 90 Def / 50 SpA / 90 SpD / 50 Speed (553 BST)
Typing: Ground / Ghost
Abilities: Iron Fist / Unseen Fist | No Guard (HA)
Movepool Additions: Headlong Rush (Golurk has it in Champions), Head Smash, Explosion, Cross Chop
Niche: If Unseen Fist is not nerfed here, then Goldeliath will give hell to Pokémon using Wish + Protect. Regardless, with a more proper bulk and a boosted Attack, Goldeliath is a fiercesome Ghost-type wallbreaker with STAB Headlong Rush. No Guard Head Smash makes it exceptionally scary against most Flying-type at cost of it’s own longevity.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Excadrill
New Pokémon Name: Corrodrill (Corrode + Drill)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 120 / 135 / 70 / 50 / 65 / 98 [BST: 538]
Typing: Ground / Poison
Abilities: Piercing Drill | Mold Breaker
Movepool Additions:
:excadrill-mega: Toxic Spikes, Corrosive Gas, Mortal Spin, Stone Edge, Ice Spinner
Niche: Utility God that can also sweep with its STABs + SD. Feel like Gunk Shot'd be a bit much on this mon so you just run Poison Jab here if you want Poison STAB.

:golurk-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Golurk
New Pokémon Name: Golancer (Golem + Lancer)

:golurk: Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp
:golurk-mega: Bullet Punch, Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance

Mega being Revolved: :excadrill-mega:
New Pokémon Name: Spirill (Spiral + Drill)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats:
HP:-110
Atk:-140 (+5)
Def:-75 (+15)
SpA:-55 (+5)
SpD:-80 (+15)
Spe:-98 (+10)
BST:-558 (+50)
Typing:
Ground
Fighting

Abilities: Scrappy HA: Piercing Drill
Movepool Additions:
:Excadrill:
Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Spikes, Shore Up, Ice Spinner
Event: Hydro Pump
Niche: A tricky thing with doing a Excadrill evolution is knowing the fact that Excadrill would be able to hold an Evolite. Excadrill is pretty bulky and has a x4 resist to the most prominent hazard, along side having tons of resistances. It can appreciate the bulk with Sand Rush and Mold Breaker utility sets. So an Evo needs to play a bit differently.
In this case, Spirill gets access to Scrappy. Scrappy Rapid Spin ensures that Spirill can Rapid Spin on absolutely anything. No Ghost type can come in to block Spirill from Rapid Spinning. Additionally, it is just fast enough that after 1 Rapid Spin, you outspeed Dragapult. This, long side its x4 resistance to Stealth Rock make it a premier hazard remover.
Oh and now it has a new typing in Ground/Fighting. Scrappy isn't just for using Rapid Spin. It's now also there to let Excadrill fire off its new STAB Fighting moves, a much needed improvement over Iron Head.
Piercing Drill is a bit more niche, but is great for Utility Contact moves like Seismic Toss, Rapid Spin, and Circle Throw.

Mega being Revolved: :chandelure-mega:
New Pokémon Name: Illufantasm (Illuminate + Fantasm)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats:
HP:-90 (+30)
Atk:-65 (+10)
Def:-105 (+15)
SpA:-145
SpD:-105 (+15)
Spe:-50 (-30)
BST:-560 (+40)
Typing:
Ghost
Fire

Abilities: Lightning Rod, Electromorphosis HA: Infiltrator
Movepool Additions:
:chandelure:
Thunderbolt, Thunder, Parabolic Charge, Volt Switch, Discharge, Magnet Rise, Electric Terrain, Charge Beam,
Niche:
Illufantasm follows the lighting theme of the Litwick line and uses more electricity. While not an Electric type, Electromorphosis with its improved bulk, lets you hit really hard with its new Electric coverage options, which it now has a variety of. And replacing Flash Fire, you have Lightning Rod, which helps your durability. Marowak-A back in Gen 7 showed how good Lighting Rod on a Fire/Ghost type is, have several resists and 3 immunities.
Mega being Revolved: :golurk-mega:
New Pokémon Name: Goloose (Golem + Loose)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats:
HP:-109 (+20)
Atk:-134 (+10)
Def:-90 (+10)
SpA:-55
SpD:-90 (+10)
Spe:-75 (+20)
BST:-553 (+70)
Typing:
Ground
Ghost

Abilities: Unseen Fist, Unburden HA: No Guard
Movepool Additions:
:Golurk:
Headlong Rush, Acrobatics, Bulk Up
Event: Jet Punch
Niche: Not gonna lie, I may be bias here. Golurk is my favorite Pokemon and I was pretty satisfied with its Mega, all things considered.
Here, Goloose plays differently from what Mega can do with the addition of Unburden. Unburden being the most fitting ability that currently exists as the design of Mega Golurk/Goloose looks like its overflowing with energy. Additionally, it makes sense when you consider how Golurk is able to Fly and leave behind some of its parts.
Goloose is a unique Unburden user as it'd be the second slowest Fully Evolved Unburden user, only outspeeding Slurpuff. Notably, Adamant Goloose is slower than Jolly Scarf Garchomp. However, Goloose is the strongest Unburden user, having a higher Atk than even Sneasler (though having to use Bulk Up instead of Sword Dance). And with 109/90/90 bulk, you actually have decent bulk.
Goloose can also utilize its other abilities as well.
You still got classic No Guard for Dynamic Punch and making sure Poltergeist/Stone Edge don't miss. And this being National Dex, Goloose retains Golurk's access to Rock Polish it lacks in Champions.
Meanwhile Unseen Fist, while nerfed, it still very nice to have on Choice Band set. Letting you always hit though Protect to punish scouting, prevent a wall from healing with Wish + Protect, and letting you hit Gliscor while outdamaging Poison Heal through Protect with Ice Punch.
Also I just put Headlong Rush here as while Golurk learns it in Champions, it's currently being discussed what National Dex should do with Champions and currently doesn't give Golurk said move.
 
My turn

:excadrill-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Excadrill
New Pokémon Name: Drilldozer (Drill + Bulldozer)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 120 HP / 145 Atk / 75 Def / 55 SpA / 85 SpD / 78 Spe
Typing:
Ground
Fighting

Abilities: Piercing Drill | HA: Mold Breaker
Movepool Additions:
:Excadrill:Ice Spinner
:Excadrill-Mega:Shore Up, Whirlwind, Spikes, Stone Edge
Niche: Everyone is making it seem like it's gonna be so hard to make an Excadrill evolution good, or even one that doesn't compete with Drill too much. I just did what every Evo does and bump up all stats. Consider this being the Rhyperior of the evolution line. In order to preserve a niche for regular Excadrill, Drilldozer has forgone any sand abilities and does have slightly lower speed. In exchange, Drilldozer has much higher bulk, access to Leftovers and extra utility like Spikes, Whirlwind and access to reliable recovery, to make it an extremely potent tank. Piercing Drill is unfortunately an inability from the get go, so Mold Breaker will be it's default ability to use. Stone Edge finally gives us the ability to smack Zapdos and Moltres out of space. Both forms get Ice Spinner because that's cool.


:Chandelure-Mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Chandelure
New Pokémon Name: Phantorchure (Phantom + Torch + Torture)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 70 HP / 55 Atk / 90 Def / 155 SpA / 100 SpD / 90 Spe
Typing:
Ground
Fighting

Abilities: Flame Body / Flash Fire | HA: Infiltrator
Movepool Additions:
:chandelure-mega:Infernal Parade, Strength Sap, Focus Blast
Niche: Phantorchure is a powerful wallbreaker with access to good utility in Infernal Parade, recovery with Strength Sap and Focus Blast so it can finally break past the titans that are Dark types. With all aspects, this is just super Chandelure, and Phantorchure executes the job well. 90 Speed importantly jumps above both base Excadrill and Rotom-Wash, which in my opinion is very important to ensure Phant is actually viable.

Mega being Revolved: Golurk-M
New Pokémon Name: Golemenate
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 89/130/80/55/80/84
Typing: Ground/Ghost
Abilities: Unseen Fist, Defiant, Cursed Body
Movepool Additions: Sacred Sword, Headlong Rush, Power Trick
Niche: Extremely strong physical attacker, with increased speed, a stronger physical attack stat and the bearer of a sword. This Pokémon is inspired by jjk kinda, as his name is Golem and Emanate together. Idk this is what happens when there isn’t a new episode every Thursday. He is inspired by Yuta Okotsu with a huge number of cursed energy, which he uses in his blade moves. Defiant allows this Pokémon to counter intimidate mons, as well as cursed body allows it to bring a sort of stally or more defensive form. Or just have unseen fist and hit through protect. (Also idk where to vote but I think it should be gen 9 unseen fist rules)

Mega being Revolved: Excadrill-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Magmedril
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 110/135/70/85/70/88
Typing: Ground-Fire
Abilities: Piercing Drill, Flame Body
Movepool Additions: Temper Flare, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge
Niche: Fast Heavy hitting fire type attacker. This Pokémon is rumoured to have dug too deep into the earths crust that it met molten lava, which transformed it into this Pokémon. This Pokémon gains a huge bonus in which it can flame charge other excadrill evos, letting it set up while doing super effective damage. It also gains a special attack boost, idk why you’d use that but it did.

Mega being Revolved: Chandelure
New Pokémon Name: Lustraille
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 60/55/110/145/110/80
Typing: Fire/Ghost
Abilities: Infiltrator, Prankster, Flame Body
Movepool Additions: Bitter Malice, Infernal Parade, Ominous Wind, Stored Power, Thunderbolt
Niche: “Born from the wreck of ruined kingdoms or castles, this Pokémon appears to be searching the rubble for something. Leading theories say it searches for lost souls, defensive strategy, or just mockery in the face of the dead kingdom.” -Pokédex Entry 01. This Pokémon takes huge advantage of its monstrous special attack stat and leans into a more defensive set-up position with flame charge + calm mind set-up. This Pokémon could also take a funny position with prankster, where it can prankster set-up or prankster trick an item like iron ball or lagging tail. This Pokémon’s name is from Lustre (Chandelier in French) and Versailles (French castle that played an important role in the French Revolution).

Still a work in progress rn

Sorry lads, having too much fun with EU5

Anyways, I will do some shake ups for the administrative part of the mod. But first, I'll go over the submissions. Unlike before, I will strictly talk about problematic submissions or borderline cases. Any submission I don't talk about is either fine or I don't have anything to comment about.

:excadrill-mega: :kleavor:
Mega being Revolved: Excadrill-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Wrecksadrill (Wrecks Excadrill.)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110/137/83/52/70/98
Typing: Ground / Rock
Abilities: Piercing Drill / Sand Force
Movepool Additions:
:Excadrill:: Megahorn, Superpower,
:Excadrill-Mega:: Stone Axe, Head Smash, Close Combat,
Niche: Unblockable Stone Axe..! At the cost of a worse defensive typing. Pretty solid offensively, though! Kleavor upgrade due to higher speed and technically higher attack, but pays dearly with 2 4x weaknesses and a litany of other common faults including inaccurate Rock STAB (also head smack). Originally had Accelerock but i'm Joe Balance.
:excadrill-mega: I wouldn't give it Head Smash. It is a really strong move and Excadrill's high HP removes a lot of the drawback this move has, while Hone Claws can raise the accuracy, if you are willing to go that route. Since it does not have Stone Edge, I recommend you give it that.

:excadrill-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Excadrill
New Pokémon Name: Talpadrill (Talpa is latin for mole)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110/135/60/50/65/88 -> 125/160/100/50/70/50 (+15/+25/+40/+0/+5/-38)
Typing: Ground/Steel
Abilities: Piercing Drill / Iron Barbs
Movepool Additions
:
:drilbur: Accelerock, Fire Spin, Flame Charge, Flame Wheel, Ice Spinner, Magnitude, Spikes
:excadrill: Body Press, Flash Cannon, Gyro Ball, Hard Press, Heavy Slam, Steel Roller, Stone Edge, Superpower, Temper Flare, Wild Charge
:excadrill-mega: Flare Blitz, Headlong Rush, Heat Crash, Hyper Drill, Meteor Mash, Mortal Spin, Spin Out, Supercell Slam
Niche: This new drilling friend has more bulk and power, at the cost of a good chunk of Speed. Iron Barbs is a fitting defensive option for its new physically bulky stat spread. Also a bunch of coverage and some interesting flavour moves. A lot of Fire moves here because of how much heat a giant drill like this would make. Considered making this Ground/Fire but worried it would overshadow the Charizard evos if I pushed this too far.
(Ice Spinner is such a good "spinning" move alongside Spin Out and Gyro Ball, so I am stealing that. Thanks G-Luke!)

:golurk-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Golurk
New Pokémon Name: Golumecha
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 89/124/80/55/80/55 -> 108/139/88/55/88/72 (+19/+15/+8/+0/+8/+17)
Typing: Ground/Ghost
Abilities: Unseen Fist / No Guard / Steely Spirit
Movepool Additions
:
:golett:Autotomize, Iron Head, Night Daze, Rock Climb, Shadow Sneak, Smart Strike
:golurk: Circle Throw, Headlong Rush, Meteor Mash, Rage Fist, Sky Uppercut, Wild Charge
:golurk-mega: Overheat, Precipice Blades, Psyshield Bash, Supercell Slam
Niche: Golurk is already a solid Pokemon held back by its low Speed. A slight buff to its offenses and defenses, plus enough of a bump to its Speed for Rock Polish / Autotomize to be more viable, should make it a very potent threat. Rage Fist becomes a more reliable Ghost STAB, and Steely Spirit Meteor Mash (or Heavy Slam) becomes a nice third STAB.
:excadrill-mega: I wouldn't give regular Excadrill Temper Flare or Wild Charge. I'm fine with the Evo getting those moves since it is slow and has to tank a hit before attacking, but Excadrill really benefits from this coverage. Regarding the Evo though, I think its Attack is too high. Without investments, it hits really hard. For reference, uninvested Headlong Rush hits almost as hard as one from offensive Great Tusk. I would reduce its Attack and maybe invest back into speed or special defense.
:golurk-mega: I won't allow Rage Fist on it. It is a worse abuser of it than Annihilape, but it can still get enough opportunities to fire off a strong Rage Fist. To compensate, I'd allow a move like Spectral Thief or move points from HP into speed or attack.

Mega being Revolved: Excadrill-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Magmedril
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 110/135/70/85/70/88
Typing: Ground-Fire
Abilities: Piercing Drill, Drought
Movepool Additions: Temper Flare, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge
Niche: Fast Heavy hitting fire type attacker. This Pokémon is rumoured to have dug too deep into the earths crust that it met molten lava, which transformed it into this Pokémon. This Pokémon gains a huge bonus in which it can flame charge other excadrill evos, letting it set up while doing super effective damage. It also gains a special attack boost, idk why you’d use that but it did.
:excadrill-mega: This competes with Scorchyvern (our Charizard Y) and I'd argue that it outclasses it. Regardless of this competition, I think that it is really strong on its own, with its offensive prowess being better than every other weather setter. I would do a different approach with this one.


Now onto the administrative stuff. First of all, vote for the Piercing Drill and Unseen Fist situation: https://forms.gle/15Fah6dUtDhHrM1q8

Second, I will be providing a new way of voting for future slates, including this one. This is more convinient for me and avoids miscounting. Here are the most important details:
  1. Submissions slates will be shorter. Slates with a ton of Pokemon will still be long, but on average slates will 1-2 days shorter
  2. My Feedback posts will close submissions but provide people the opportunity to change their subs and make them eligible for voting. This phase of a slate will last a few days, depending on the amount of subs. This balances out the shorter submission time.
  3. Voting will now move to Google Forms. The previous two changes are made largely due to this change. This makes counting so much easier for me and allow me to close votes sooner.
I opened a test voting sheet, to see how well it goes and if there's something I missed. You cannot mark self-votes in this current iteration, so this will be something I have to pay attention to this one. As a side note, I named all the voting options as "Submitter 1", "Submitter 2" and so on. Please avoid give all points to "Submitter 1" for example. Treat them as names you know.
https://forms.gle/v7BF3yvJpgh81igN8

I will close submissions and allow the submitters to change their submissions.

That's it for now. Ciao Servus.
 
Voting time! I'll remind you how voting will proceed from now on.

Voting Phase:
The duration of the voting phase depends on the amount of submissions, with 3-4 days being the minimum and 5-7 days being the maximum. However, voting will end when every submitter has voted.

Voting will take place on Google Forms and from there it is relatively easy to understand how it works. You have to vote for 3 submissions for each Pokemon and every submission can get 3, 2 or 1 point(s).

Self-Voting:
Check out the detailed explanation for a more precise explanation. TL;DR The amount of Self-Votes depends on your submission count. Each submission gets you a Self-Vote, and said Self-Vote is worth 2 points.
A Person with 3 submissions has 6 points, one with 4 submissions has 8 points and so on. The Self-Votes you give yourself cannot exceed this limit.
Let's say a person has 2 submissions resulting in 4 points: They can place themselves on 1st place for one Pokemon (which results in 3 points spend), and place themselves 3rd place for a different Pokemon (resulting in the last point being spend). Alternatively, they could place themselves in 2nd place twice, whichi results in 2 x 2 points being spend.

If you want to vote for yourself now, it gets slightly more complicated. You can always keep voting for yourself as second, but you can change the order a bit, for as long as the number of self-votes equals 2x the number of submissions you made. Let's use some examples to make it more understandable:

Stallbreaker: Yoshiblaze, Lyd, Ludicrousity
Special Wall: Ludicrousity, Lyd, Yoshiblaze
Defensive Pivot: Ludicrousity, Lyd, Yoshiblaze

So this voting format is good, cuz' Lyd voted for himself as second three times, and when you add everything up, he gave himself 6 votes, which is fine, as it is exactly the number of submissions he made for the slate x2. However, say he liked his Stallbreaker submission a lot, and he really wants it to win, he can play around with his votes a little bit:

Stallbreaker: Lyd, Yoshiblaze, Ludicrousity
Special Wall: Ludicrousity, Lyd, Yoshiblaze
Defensive Pivot: Ludicrousity, Yoshiblaze, Lyd

So to make his Stallbreaker first vote, he moved his Defensive Pivot self-vote to last. Makes sense, right? And when you add up the votes, 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 which is exactly what he wants. Let's say that he likes his Special Wall and Defensive Pivot submissions more, and he didn't like his Stallbreaker submission too much. He can do this:

Stallbreaker: Yoshiblaze, Ludicrousity, G-Luke
Special Wall: Lyd, Ludicrousity, Yoshiblaze
Defensive Pivot: Lyd, Ludicrousity, Yoshiblaze

3 + 3 adds up to six, so he's good to that. Small note that this can't be done if he made no Stallbreaker submission because if that was the case, the number of submissions he made x2 would actually end up as 4, which isn't enough. Also, had he only made a single submission, he'd always have to self-vote as #2 or lower because making only one submission gives him only two self-vote points. We hope that was clear, if you had any trouble to understand this, feel free to PM anyone from the council and we'll explain it as best as we can.

ViZar's Say:
This is for transperency's sake. I will tell you about my role in this votes and polls.
  1. Tiebreaker vote: I will never vote submission and stricly keep my vote to break a tie. My vote will be determined by the circumstances of the votes. If one of the submitters already won a submission in the current slate, I will give the vote to the other person. If that does not apply, I will ask someone from outside the mod, more specifically an uninvolved person from the main Pet Mods server, to break the vote. If that does not happen in an adequate time, I will vote based on design and metagame needs.
  2. Poll votes: I will always vote for the mod specific topics (e.g. Unseen Fist/Piercing Drill Topic, Future Slates). My vote will always be the least valuable vote however. In a tie, I will remove my vote if the other option will win.

For this slate, all subs are eligible for voting and will last for 3-4 days, closing sooner when all submitters have voted.

Voting's over! Gotta be honest, I realised too late that my format for voting made no sense. Don't worry though, there is a different template that is much better for me to analyse and count votes, but also way easier to vote in. So don't be surprised with the results look differently.

:excadrill-mega: :kleavor:
Mega being Revolved: Excadrill-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Wrecksadrill (Wrecks Excadrill.)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110/137/83/52/70/98
Typing: Ground / Rock
Abilities: Piercing Drill / Sand Force
Movepool Additions:
:Excadrill:: Megahorn, Superpower,
:Excadrill-Mega:: Stone Axe, Close Combat,
Niche: Unblockable Stone Axe..! At the cost of a worse defensive typing. Pretty solid offensively, though! Kleavor upgrade due to higher speed and technically higher attack, but pays dearly with 2 4x weaknesses and a litany of other common faults including inaccurate Rock STAB (also head smack). Originally had Accelerock but i'm Joe Balance.

New Pokémon Name: Kandelabrum
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 60/55/90/145/90/80 -> 90/55/110/150/90/60 (+30/+0/+20/+5/+0/-20)
Typing: Ghost/Fire

:chandelure:Dazzling Gleam, Fiery Dance, Phantom Force, Power Gem, Spirit Shackle
:chandelure-mega: Body Press, Flash Cannon, Heat Crash, Infernal Parade, Moonblast
Niche: All right, I made a huge change to the stats after sitting on this for a while. This evolution gets a huge buff to its defensive profile, a solid buff to its damage, and a lot of coverage and utility, but in exchange has a decent drop to its Speed. If you can somehow set up Trick Room for it it should be excellent, but it will still be a hard-hitting Special Attacker that can tank a few hits.

Movepool Additions: Headlong Rush (Golurk has it in Champions), Head Smash, Explosion, Cross Chop
Niche: If Unseen Fist is not nerfed here, then Goldeliath will give hell to Pokémon using Wish + Protect. Regardless, with a more proper bulk and a boosted Attack, Goldeliath is a fiercesome Ghost-type wallbreaker with STAB Headlong Rush. No Guard Head Smash makes it exceptionally scary against most Flying-type at cost of it’s own longevity.

Now, we are entering the Playtesting Phase. This Phase will last 2 weeks and we will do a tournament in addition to regular matches, which hopefully allow us to get a better idea for the meta and our new additions. Two weeks are definitively a long time, but I also want to do many surveys and work closer with the players to implement sufficient changes to the Pokemon.

I will now give my personal thoughts on the winners so far
:venusaur-mega: - An insanely good Pokemon. I was theorizing about this a while ago and it matches up so well against so many Pokemon. The main worry I have is that it invest more into its bulk, since it won't need speed much, and CM spam to win. Definitively a strong Pokemon, that may need a nerf.

:charizard-mega-x: - Probably the most faithful adaptation ever. This is gonna do Mega Charizard X things but with Heavy-Duty Boots or Life Orb. I think it will be solid enough.

:charizard-mega-y: - Now, the complete opposite. Mega Charizard Y and Scorchyvern don't play similarly at all. This isn't a fast and strong wallbreaker, more of a slow tank that can still do a lot of damage. I think Fire/Ground is a good defensive typing for this meta and I think it function really well as a wall against Electrics.

:blastoise-mega: - I have struggled to find a niche for this thing. I think it has potential and definitively has a niche over Great Tusk as a spinner, but it competes with almost every other Water-type. We will have to see how well this performs.

:beedrill-mega: - This is a unique take on this Pokemon, but I'm not sure how well it does. Adaptability sets have a better STAB to take advantage of, but at the same time, it is so much weaker. It definitively focuses more on its defensive role and in that, it is pretty solid. It depends on what it is facing, but it can hold its ground (:funny:) against something like Great Tusk and Kingambit.

:pidgeot-mega: - This guy will need a change. It is really lackluster. Every other Flying-type has something that helps it in this meta. Pidgeaether is also just a worse Tornadus-T, except it has slightly more HP and accurate Hurricanes and Focus Blasts. Wind Rider and Air Lock are not enough to give it a niche. I think this guy will definitively need a change.

:raichu-mega-x: - I'd say this guy is good. I don't know how useful Levitate is, since it isn't as well equipt to take advantage of Levitate as something like Rotom-Heat is, but I think a more longevity focused build with Fire Lash, Nuzzle and Knock Off and Heavy-Duty Boots. Reckless sets however, are really threatening. Volt Tackle and Flare Blitz do a lot of damage, but the recoil hurts a lot and I think it is forced to use Heavy-Duty Boots, to increase its longevity somewhat. Let's hope that Reckless gets replaced by a cool new ability, once it is revealed.

:raichu-mega-y: - Let's hope that this guy's ability really turns out to be good. It is really dependent on Compound Eyes to fire off Thunders and Focus Blasts, otherwise it competes with Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt. Luckily for it, I would argue that Compound Eyes gives it a solid niche above the other two. Since it is resistant to Stealth Rock, it has an easier time to run Choice Specs, a power boost it appreciates and honestly needs.

:glalie-mega: - This Pokemon is both one-dimensional and at the same time, it has a lot of potential. I think regular attacking sets with either Strong Jaw or Refrigerate are pretty solid and they have good potential, but I think its unusual moves get a solid amount of things to do. Obvious ones are Fake Out and Explosion, which allow you run it as a suicide attacker. However, utility sets with Foul Play or Refrigerate Super Fang can also be useful, but definitively a lot more niche.

:abomasnow-mega: - I think Snow Warning is the go-to ability on this one. Grassy Surge is nice and all, but Rillaboom's offensive capability makes it far more useful on it, than Snorest. Snorest can becomes unkillable (to a certain extend) thanks to Leech Seed and Snow Warning, in addition to Slack Off and potentially Aurora Veil, although the last one is overkill and inpracticle on a defensive set that wants to sit around.

:froslass-mega: - Freezeres is definitively good, but I think it will struggle due to its 4MSS. It can do everything, against every counter and check it has, but at the same time it cannot deal with everything. I still think it is one of the best Pokemon we have and its movepool is insane for what it wants to be. 120 Speed, while good, leaves a little bit to be desired but it will manage.

:crabominable-mega: - The button clicker. I honestly just see this one as a Choice Band user. CB Close Combat almost 2HKOs Toxapex. With Knock Off and Stealth Rock it can beat so many other Pokemon too. Bulk Up with Drain Punch and Mach Punch is nice too, but honestly Choice Band will be this thing's bread and butter.

:excadrill-mega: - It isn't too much faster or stronger than Excadrill, which can use the Eviolite now. We will have to see how well the Rock-typing is one it and how good Stone Axe is. Megahorn is definitively a good addition to its movepool, allowing it to hit Slowbro and Rillaboom, among other Grasses. I honestly see this as a Swords Dance breaker that can set rocks thanks to Stone Axe, but I wished it has Stone Edge, since the other option is just Rock Slide.

:chandelure-mega: - I think the best way to use thing Pokemon is as a bulky attacker. It really wants HDB and its bulk is really good and the Special Attack is so high that low or no investment still results in great firepower (no pun intended). A slow special wallbreaker or bulky Calm Mind sweeper both work well in my opinion. Like Junglosaur, I can see this Pokemon being too much.

:golurk-mega: - Another button clicker, except this one wants to click Trick occasionally. I think Goldeliath can utilise its abilities pretty well. Unseen Fist is definitively, the weakest ability. Iron Fist has great damage output with certain moves and No Guard has great coverage moves with different effects and utility.

I will be coding this asap and update the resources.

Welp, joke's on me
I thought we'd get more discussion on the current raster.

Anyways, I'd like to give my impression on the current state of the meta, my predictions, my plans on some Pokemon and talk about the absense of some Mega Pokemon.
First of all, I stand on most of my thoughts from the previous post. Here are my rankings of the Pokemon.
S Tier, can see getting nerfed::venusaur-mega::chandelure-mega:
A Tier, good Pokemon that have a solid place in any team::charizard-mega-x::charizard-mega-y::raichu-mega-x::froslass-mega::crabominable-mega:
B Tier, solid Pokemon that need more things to go right::beedrill-mega::raichu-mega-y::abomasnow-mega::excadrill-mega::golurk-mega:
C Tier, niche Pokemon, but they can work under right circumstances: :blastoise-mega::glalie-mega:
D Tier, needs a buff::pidgeot-mega:

The Difference from Megas:
The Revos (what I'm calling the new Pokemon), are fundementily different from the Megas. From the lack of opportunity cost, an open item slot, more ability options, the HP being modified sometimes and impacting the base forms. On average, I believe that the Revos are better than their Mega. Not always, but provided they don't change the identity of the Mega, the Revos have so much more going for them.

:venusaur-mega::charizard-mega-x::crabominable-mega::abomasnow-mega::golurk-mega::glalie-mega:
These are, in my eyes, straight upgrades from their Mega. There are some tradeoffs, but ultimately, they make up for some of their shortcomings by being able to use an item, a different ability or more focused emphasis on their strengths.

:chandelure-mega::froslass-mega::blastoise-mega:
They are similar to their Megas, but the different speed stats and more movepool options, change their effectiveness. This works out better for the first two though.

The Lack of Megas:
Many Megas had really good niches and were generally good Pokemon in their own right. Scizor, Tyranitar, Gardevoir, Latias, Latios, Slowbro, Swampert, Altaria, Lopunny, Gallade and Diancie are pieces that are missing right now. The lack of them surely shook a lot of things up.

Z-Moves being removed also removes a lot of power from this meta. No longer can a Pokemon muscle through another Pokemon or they will lack the coverage from obscure moves like Dig for example.

That's it for now
I'll see you for the playtest tour

Ciao Servus
 
Okay so, the playtest phase didn't achieve anything. I was hoping that some games would be played, but as far as I'm aware, not a single game was played, except for 1 battle for the tour. This is also my fault, since I wasn't really active here and I couldn't do the things I wanted to do. Instead we will just continue with the mod and players can play games whenever they want. I'll just do another tour once I see that there is significant interest for it.

Meanwhile, we will do slate 5 and a little survey. First, the survey. This is a just a feedback survey and an application for a mod position for this mod. This will be anonymous and just serves for feedbacks sake.
Feeback Poll: https://forms.gle/BzWzoVmhysRx382MA
Mod Application: https://forms.gle/xrmn7dJxQfw8x5496


The new slate! I will go off the last poll we did and pick the 2nd place.

:sv/ampharos-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Ampharos
New Pokémon Name: Ramphalt
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 90/75/85/115/90/55 (510) -> 100/75/85/120/100/65 (545)
Typing: Electric/Ground
Abilities: Mold Breaker / Minus
Movepool Additions:

:mareep: Buzzy Buzz
:ampharos: Calm Mind, Encore
:ampharos-mega: Earth Power, Earthquake, Mud-Slap, Noble Roar, Horn Attack, Megahorn

Niche: Bulky Utility wall/pivot, it has an absolutely insane movepool, with calm mind, dual screens, volt switch, encore, buzzy buzz, powerful ground STAB, toxic, even stuff like roar and mold breaker. I do think this is balanced though because it has no reliable recovery and is decently slow. Calm mind and encore are here to specifically punish mons like Junglosaur and Snorest for trying to use things like setup moves or healing. Buzzy Buzz too is especially good, since it deals surprising damage, and punishes the opponent - if they try to switch into a mon which checks Ramphalt then there's a chance that they get paralysed and thus heavily weakened for the rest of the battle.
 
Mega being Revolved: Ampharos
New Pokémon Name: Ewatt
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 100/115/90/75/90/70 (Attack stats switched)
Typing: Electric/Dragon
Abilities: Mold Breaker/Fluffy
Movepool Additions: Play Rough, Earthquake, Body Press, Dragon Dance, Drain Punch
Niche
: Supposed to be a more Feminine form of Ampharos, This physical pokemon version can setup with moves like Trailblaze and hit hard with outrage and Supercell slam. It can also recover with drain punch and setup with D-Dance.
Name comes from “Ewe” a female Sheep, and Watt. This Pokémon will be strong against teams that don’t have Fire coverage or fire types, or teams that lack a fairy tank.

Mega being Revolved: Altaria
New Pokémon Name: Caelaria
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 75/70/90/70/150/100
Typing: Fairy/Dragon
Abilities: Pixilate/Overcoat
Movepool Additions: Thunder Wave, Toxic, Stealth Rock, Recover
Niche: Overcoat and pixilate are both very good on a pokemon like this. This is a tank like ferrothorn or Garganacl. Pokémon like this are very prominent in power-filled formats, and can act as a problem and annoyance for team building and make the format much more competitive. Otherwise tanky switch Mon with rocks and status.
Name origin from “heavens” in Latin and Aria.

Mega being Revolved: Lopunny
New Pokémon Name: Lappear
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 65/100/84/54/96/144
Typing: Normal/Dark
Abilities: Scrappy/Intimidate/Pickpocket
Movepool Additions: Knock Off
Niche: Supposed to be a Lopunny that grew up without friendship, it has ravaged fur, and low self esteem, causing it to pick on weaker pokemon. This Pokémon battles ruthlessly, and appears to steal or beat up people who tread on its territory. It also has a habit of organizing military coups. We do not know why. Anyways it’s pretty much a glass cannon, it can even outspeed one of the best mons in the format, Zamazenta. Being the fastest allows it to be a band abuser with u-turn, return knock off and cc, or a fast annoyance with fake out + u turn and sorts.

Mega being Revolved: Audino
New Pokémon Name: Audionoclue
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 115/60/110/60/110/50
Typing: Normal/Fairy
Abilities: Healer, Unaware, Misty Surge
Movepool Additions: Sparkly Swirl, Haze
Niche:
Pretty much just a normal type tank, made to counter toxic spam, toxic spikes, status spam, and all of the sorts. Its name derives from “Audio” and “No Clue”. Pretty much a fluffier Audino. When I was play testing, status seems like a very viable opportunity as we have many set up sweepers, hard physical attackers, or the sorts. With Sparkly slide, it won’t need to run heal bell, a non attacking move. I wanted them to do well against poison types so I gave them Misty Surge to simulate the stab bonus against it. Also we do not have many unaware mons, which can be important in a meta like this. (BIG MAN BLASTOISE)
So for Ewatt I actually thought it already had swords dance just naturally, idk where I got that from but I just skipped that and gave it Dragon dance. Also I gave it some recovery, and I also think that zippy zap gen 8 is too broken, and it’d probably fall under evasion clause so you wouldn’t be able to use it other wise. Zing zap might work? But flinch chance is annoying and fusion bolt is nuclear fusion which a sheep cannot do. Next I changed altaria to overcoat, that’s what it was supposed to be the whole time lol but if it’s still too broken I’ll give it like air lock or smth to make it look cool or like levitate maybe? I really like this one but he’s like either too broken or really bad lmao. I could remove toxic but that’s like his main gimmick atp. I was thinking a sort of way to use pixilate could be with endeavor? Makes him annoying cause not even ghost types can be safe from getting will-o and endeavor. Sparkly swirl yeah I biffed that lmao and I really didn’t want to give Audino revo a type because I think any type is just an extra weakness, I’ll give it fairy tho. (Added 5 more speed so he can outspeed Zeraora, tbh nothing really changed)
VIZAR READ PLS

:ampharos-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Ampharos
New Pokémon Name: Wooluster (Wool + luster)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110 HP / 75 Atk / 95 Def / 125 SpA / 100 SpD / 55 Speed [560 BST]
Typing: Electric / Dragon
Abilities: Mold Breaker | Cotton Down
Movepool Additions: Draco Meteor, Dragon Breath, Breaking Swipe, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Tail Glow, Encore
Niche: Slow wallbreaker with Tail Glow. Cotton Down can be used to slow down faster threats and ease up revenge killing, or Mold Breaker to break through Sturdy and Unaware. Encore is for utility that can help it mess with opposing set-up wallbreakers.

:altaria-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Altaria
New Pokémon Name: Symphonymph (Symphony + Nymph)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 85 HP / 100 Atk / 100 Def / 100 SpA / 105 SpD / 55 Speed [550 BST]
Typing: Fairy / Dragon
Abilities: Pixilate | Cloud Nine
Movepool Additions: Calm Mind, Hurricane, Brave Bird, Psychic Noise, Trump Card, Haze, Healing Wish
Niche: Plays similarly to Mega Altaria with an extra utility and access for Calm Mind, but loses out some Speed, so it may want more than one Dragon Dance to sweep.

:lopunny-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Lopunny
New Pokémon Name: Rabbithrill (Rabbit + thrill)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 70 HP / 101 Atk / 94 Def / 54 SpA / 101 SpD / 130 Speed [550 BST]
Typing: Normal / Fighting
Abilities: Cute Charm / Scrappy | Limber
Movepool Additions: Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut, Upper Hand, Rapid Spin
Niche: Mega Lop with less Attack for the ability to hold an Item, as well as access to Rapid Spin to help with hazard.

:audino-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Audino
New Pokémon Name: Aufcorse (Corruption of “of course”)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 123 HP / 90 Atk / 96 Def / 70 SpA / 96 SpD / 50 Speed [525 BST]
Typing: Normal / Fairy
Abilities: Healer / Regenerator | Sheer Force
Movepool Additions: Tidy Up, Rock Climb, Psych Up, Sing, Yawn, Sweet Kiss, Alluring Voice, Strange Steam
Niche: Unlike the rest of my submissions, Audino will benefit very well from Eviolite due to Regenerator, so Aufcours go for a different direction as a Tidy Up Sheer Force attacker, or as a traditional mixed wall with Regenerator. It would need a Tidy Up or two in order to sweep though.

:altaria-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Altaria
New Pokémon Name: Altodracarys (Altostratus/Altocumulus are types of clouds, while also being a pun on Alto singing)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 75/70/90/70/105/80 -> 90/75/90/90/150/60 [+15/+5/+0/+20/+45/-20]
Typing: Dragon/Fairy
Abilities: Fluffy / Pixilate
Movepool Additions:
:swablu: Charge Beam, Charm, Gust, Powder Snow, Soak, Wing Attack
:altaria: Air Slash, Blizzard, Body Press, Boomburst, Muddy Water, Psychic Noise, Sparkling Aria, Thunder, Thunderbolt
:altaria-mega: Bleakwind Storm, Misty Explosion, Misty Terrain, Moonlight, Sandsear Storm, Springtide Storm, Wildbolt Storm
Niche: Storm cloud Altaria becoming the Storm-Bringing evolution. Maintains access to a lot of utility, such as Cotton Guard + Body Press, allowing it to act as a solid defensive choice with good offensive options. Getting all four genie storm moves gives it an excellent range of coverage. Fluffy allows it to be an excellent defensive option, though Pixilate Boomburst is the big selling point. While this will hit hard, the low Speed and average Special Attack, as well as no boosting options, will limit its ability to break through resists. This will be an excellent bulky Pokemon with multiple options to deal with major threats.

:ampharos-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Ampharos
New Pokémon Name: Mjolnilamb (Mjolnir, hammer of Thor)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 90/75/85/115/90/55 -> 120/120/90/75/90/60 [+30/+45/+5/-40/+0/+5]
Typing: Electric/Fairy
Abilities
: Cotton Down / Mold Breaker
Movepool Additions:
:mareep: Baby-Doll Eyes, Draining Kiss, Nuzzle, Parabolic Charge, Spark, Zing Zap
:ampharos: Body Press, Earthquake, Rising Voltage, Tail Glow, Tail Slap, Thunderclap, Volt Tackle
:ampharos-mega: Alluring Voice, Aqua Tail, Fire Lash, Misty Terrain, Moonblast, Moonlight, Play Rough, Power Whip
Niche: I removed Fairy from Audino, so it is only fair I give it to someone else. After all, we will have a lot more Mega Dragons down the line, and not nearly as many Fairies. Fairy also pairs well with the design moreso than Dragon I would argue. Finally, Tail Glow on the Pokemon that has had a glowing tail since it was introduced. The base form benefits from Tail Glow and Thunderclap, but the evolution will be a physical attacker that still has access to a STAB priority move if it so desires. A Physical Electric/Fairy is something the format does not have, as Tapu Koko is normally a Special Attacker. Gets a lot of Tail and Tail-adjacent attacking moves to give it more tools to work with.

:audino-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Audino
New Pokémon Name: Doctrspectr
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 103/60/86/60/86/50 -> 123/84/96/84/96/42 [+20/+24/+10/+24/+10/-8]
Typing: Normal/Dark
Abilities
: Healer / Regenerator / Defiant
Movepool Additions
:
:audino: Assurance, Astonish, Cosmic Power, Dizzy Punch, Follow Me, Headbutt, Hypnosis, Milk Drink, Mimic, Natural Gift, Psychic Noise, Purify, Quick Attack, Recycle, Rock Climb, Stored Power, Weather Ball
:audino-mega: Beat Up, Dark Pulse, Destiny Bond, Dream Eater, Embargo, Fake Out, Fake Tears, False Surrender, Flatter, Foul Play, Hex, Lash Out, Leech Life, Memento, Nasty Plot, Night Daze, Nightmare, Ominous Wind, Parting Shot, Payback, Power Trick, Pursuit, Quash, Shadow Punch, Shadow Sneak, Snarl, Sucker Punch, Switcheroo, Taunt, Thief, Torment, Trump Card, Will-O-Wisp
Niche: Not only does the base form get Eviolite Regen which is already great. Evo now is Normal/Dark with regen, being 4x weak to Fighting but still a decent offensive/defensive combo. This new form instead takes the doctor inspiration of the base form and evolves into a form of mad scientist with all of the new tools at its disposal. Most of the moves above are likely to be just for flavour, but a lot of these would prove to be quite useful, such as Milk Drink, Hex, and Parting Shot.

:lopunny-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Lopunny
New Pokémon Name: Jumpinjak (Jump + jackrabbit + jumping jacks)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 65/76/84/54/96/105 -> 96/104/84/54/96/121 [+31/+28/+0/+0/+0/+16]
Typing: Normal/Fighting

:lopunny-mega: Axe Kick, Blaze Kick, Bulk Up, Final Gambit, Smelling Salts, Submission, Trop Kick, Victory Dance, Vital Throw
Niche: Was considering making this just a diet Mega Lopunny. But now with this stat spread I realized I could give it the best Fighting move it could ask for: Victory Dance. 104 Attack means it relies on setup to get strong, but has a solid Speed to work with.

Mega being Revolved: Lopunny
New Pokémon Name: Warrihare (Warrior Hare.)
Type of Pokemon: evo
Stats: 79/96/94/60/106/125
Typing: Normal / Fighting
Abilities: Scrappy / Technician / Limber
Movepool Additions:
:lopunny:: No Retreat, Feint.
:lopunny-mega:: Axe Kick, Rolling Kick, Triple Kick, Final Gambit, Storm Throw
Niche: Committing a cardinal sin and giving Lopunny No Retreat because i'm Evil. Actually a bit more balanced than you'd first think with its relatively tame stat spread, but DON'T underestimate the bulk, it's pretty solid. Technician grants you stronger Triple Axels and DEVASTATING Storm Throws, while Scrappy makes your offensive combo unresisted, both have their playoffs, but additional drawbacks.
