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

Winners!

:sv/sableye-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Sableye
New Pokémon Name: Gemilin (Gem + Gremlin)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80 (+30) / 85 (+10) / 125 (+50) / 75 (+10) / 85 (+20) / 20 (-30) (470 BST)
Typing: Ghost/Dark
Abilities: Keen Eye / Mirror Armor / Magic Bounce
Movepool Additions:
:sableye: + :sableye-mega:: Poltergeist, Sucker Punch
:sableye-mega:: Rapid Spin
Niche:
Sableye's movepool already consists of most of the moves it could want - Recover, Will-o-Wisp, Thunder Wave, Knock Off, other annoying moves in Encore, so on so forth. Gemilin is Sableye with those same utility moves but with the stats to actually utilize them. It loses Prankster to make up for this, but now has actual defenses with which to tank a hit and fire back with said utility moves. Magic Bounce is a neat little ability that serves as Gemilin's main defensive utility to shore up Dark/Ghost's lack of resists, being able to deny hazards against the opponent, and Rapid Spin is added as a good contingency in case hazards somehow make their way onto your side of the field.

:malamar-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Malamar
New Pokémon Name: Eldropath (Eldritch + psychopath)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 96 HP / 102 Atk / 88 Def / 68 SpA / 105 SpD / 73 Speed | 532 BST
Typing: Dark / Psychic
Abilities: Contrary / Suction Cups | Protean
Movepool Additions: Psycho Boost, Aqua Jet, Shadow Sneak, Stomping Tantrum, Temper Flare, Zing Zap, Spirit Break, Play Rough, Flare Blitz, Hydro Pump

Flavor moves

Wild Charge, Surf, Energy Ball, Solar Beam, Flash Cannon

Niche: Despite keeping Malamar’s bad defensive typing and still average stats, Eldropath has new tools that can leave overconfident players badly surprised; Psycho Boost for it’s Contrary set alongside Flamethrower against Steel / Fairy targets, or it can run Protean to shed of it’s horrid defensive type with it’s even more colorful physical learnset, making it unpredictable.
Behind the Scene: Despite the hype by the marketing, Mega Malamar didn’t quite deliver the promise of being a powerful Psychic-type Mega Evolution. Although Eldropath follows a similar stat spread, I put emphasis on it’s Psychic-type prowess with Psycho Boost to make it’s Contrary set more threatening, slower than Serperior but has coverage in Flamethrower. Some real life cephalopods can camouflage, so I find Protean very fitting for the eldritch-esque evolution to upper it’s deception game to catch unsuspecting foes by surprise by changing it’s type on the spot.

Submission Rules

Movepool:

• You can add moves to the Pokemon receiving a Revolution. Movepool Additions are not exclusive to the Revolutions.
• Only list important and usable moves for your submissions! You can add flavour moves and usually useless moves but put them into a spoiler. Furthermore, mark your strong move additions via bold or cursive text or with an underline.
• Moves that are not wildly accessible will be looked at with a harsher lense. Including them needs to have thematic sense or play into the niche of the Revolution.

Stats:

• You are not allowed to lower stats, except for speed. If you lower speed however, every other stat must see an increase. The amount depending on how much you decreased your speed.
• Swapping offensive stats is also allowed. Normally this is obvious, but it is appreciated if it is specified somewhere in the submission.
• If it is an evolution or an alternate forme of a Pokemon, you don't have to add all stats that are given to you. You have to add the very minimum of the spectrum given to you.

Miscellaneous:

• No custom elements.
• When a submission changes during the slate or after feedback, the changes have to be noted.
• You can choose between evolutions, split evolutions, regional variants, convergent species and alternate formes, unless noted otherwise.

[Samtendo09]

:sharpedo-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Sharpedo
New Pokémon Name: Frigalodon (Frigate + Megalodon)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 70 HP / 130 Atk / 60 Def / 95 SpA / 60 SpD / 105 Speed | 520 BST
Typing: Water / Dark
Abilities: Strong Jaw | Speed Boost
Movepool Additions: Swords Dance, Bulk Up, Nasty Plot, Sludge Bomb, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Earth Power, Earthquake

Flavor moves

Air Cutter, Mud Bomb, Clear Smog, Snarl, Acid, Acid Spray

Niche: Competing with Grenegade as a fast Water / Dark attacker, Frigalodon has a much higher base Attack and two distinct Abilities that give it different uses; Strong Jaw for wallbreaking with Crunch and Psychic Fangs, and Speed Boost for set-up sweeping, with Nasty Plot added for an element of surprise as a special wallbreaker.
Behind the Scene: Partially based on the Megalodon but moreso a battleship, Frigalodon carries a school of Carvanha and Sharpedo to save their energy for opportune huntings. While it is vulnerable to ambushes despite it’s increased length, it can quickly propel itself out of the way, and then deliver a monstrous bite against the aggressor.

:camerupt-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Camerupt
New Pokémon Name: Mountamel (Mountain + camel)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 100 HP / 110 Atk / 95 Def / 110 SpA / 95 SpD / 20 Speed | 530 BST
Typing: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Magma Armor / Dry Skin | Sheer Force
Movepool Additions: Slack Off, Headlong Rush, Blaze Kick (for Sheer Force), Scald, Crunch

Flavor moves

Brine, Chip Away, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Bite

Niche: Sheer Force is pretty powerful for a non-Mega Pokémon, so I focused on increased bulk to make the most of it’s wallbreaking potential. Dry Skin can be used instead as a lite version of Primal Groudon in that it eliminates it’s crippling Water weakness and become a mixed wall with utilities in Scald / Scorching Sands, Will-o-Wisp, Yawn and Roar.
Behind the Scene: Going further of the more aggressive attitude thay Mega Camerupt has, Mountamel is very stubborn and can spit onto those who were being pushy towards it. It is said that when it drinks water, the water is stored on it’s humps at first, before evaporating to help calm it down.

:pyroar-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Pyroar
New Pokémon Name: Inferliono (Inferno + lion)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 91 HP / 93 Atk / 77 Def / 119 SpA / 71 SpD / 96 Speed | 530 BST
Typing: Fire / Steel
Abilities: Fire Mane / Unnerve | Moxie
Movepool Additions: V-Create, Earth Power (also for Pyroar), Flash Cannon (also for Pyroar), Steel Beam, Iron Head, King’s Shield, Swords Dance, Bulk Up, Nasty Plot

Flavor moves

Steel Wing, Metal Burst, Iron Defense

Niche: Fire Mane allows it for a mixed attacking potential thanks to V-Create, as even an uninveste Attack can deal obscene damage, though even using V-Create once leaves Inferliono more vulnerable to revenge killing. 93 Attack is still good enough to viably run Moxie at the very least.
Behind the Scene: With Normal replaced by Steel, Inferliono gain an armor not dissimilar to the Heroes of Galar (Zacian and Zamazanta), and I can imagine the evolution method to obtain this form is by defeating an Aegislash while having Flash Cannon.

 

[War Incarnate]

:sv/camerupt-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Camerupt
New Pokémon Name: Volcamelus (Volcano + Camelus [the genus])
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 95 (+25) / 110 (+10) / 110 (+40) / 115 (+10) / 80 (+5) / 20 (-20) (530 BST)
Typing: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Magma Armor / Solid Rock / Sheer Force
Movepool Additions:
:camerupt: + :camerupt-mega:: Slack Off, Superpower, Flare Blitz
:camerupt-mega:: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Supercell Slam, Haze, Spikes

Flavor Moves

:camerupt: + :camerupt-mega:: Temper Flare, Clear Smog

Niche:
Fire/Ground and solid defenses alongside Solid Rock let Volcamelus serve as a somewhat serviceable tank, with a good array of utility moves to boot, such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, Will-o-Wisp, Haze, or Roar. Slack Off solves its recovery woes, making it easier to sustain throughout the battle. Sheer Force sacrifices Solid Rock's patching up of its weaknesses in exchange for very hard-hitting offense, with nuclear Fire Blasts, Earth Powers, and newfound Thunderbolts able to dispatch enemies after taking a hit or two.

:sv/sharpedo-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Sharpedo
New Pokémon Name: Sharklash (Shark + Slash + Backlash [?])
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80 (+10) / 135 (+15) / 54 (+14) / 98 (+3) / 54 (+14) / 99 (+4) (520 BST)
Typing: Water / Dark
Abilities: Rough Skin / Strong Jaw
Movepool Additions:
:sharpedo: + :sharpedo-mega:: Swords Dance
:sharpedo-mega:: Wave Crash, Sucker Punch, Superpower

Flavor Moves

:sharpedo: + :sharpedo-mega:: Aqua Cutter, Pounce, Trailblaze, Temper Flare, Comeuppance

Niche:
While still as fragile as ever (and no longer having Speed Boost in its arsenal), Sharklash makes up for this with higher immediate power (and speed). Strong Jaw turns Crunch and its other arsenal of biting moves into hard-hitting nukes, while Wave Crash is brutally powerful Water STAB that unleashes unbelievable amounts of destruction on the opponent. Swords Dance sets are not quite the easiest to pull off, but with the right support, can make it a plenty viable finisher.

 

[All Hail Ogerpon]

Mega being Revolved: Mega Pyroar
New Pokémon Name: Pyride (Pyre + Pride)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 86/68/72/134/67/120
Typing: Fire/Fairy
Abilities: Fire Mane, Dazzling, HA: Dancer
Movepool Additions: Dazzling Gleam, Revelation Dance, Moonlight, Quiver Dance, Earth Power
Niche: Fire Fairy STABs cover for each other well. These movepool additions and ability changes are inspired by Chinese Lunar New Year Lion Dance, especially fitting since Pyroar's mane is commonly known to be Chinese characters. It makes it a strong setup sweeper in Quiver Dance and Moonlight with a source of recovery in Moonlight, and Earth Power as coverage.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Sharpedo
New Pokémon Name: Sharkhan (Shark + Khan)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 70/140/40/95/40/115
Typing: Water/Fighting
Abilities: Strong Jaw, Sharpness, HA: Moxie
Movepool Additions: Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Aqua Cutter, Ceaseless Edge, Sucker Punch
Niche: A fast physical attacker. Sharpness turns it into a dangerous setup sweeper with Sacred Sword and Aqua Cutter, while Moxie rewards it for securing KOs and snowballing through weakened teams.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Camerupt
New Pokémon Name: Fortrerupt (Fortress + Erupt)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 70/101/130/106/88/20
Typing: Fire/Steel
Abilities: Sheer Force, Solid Rock, HA: Stamina
Movepool Additions: Body Press, Iron Head, Recover, Iron Defense, Flash Cannon
Niche: Its excellent defensive typing and immense bulk allow it to wall a wide range of attacks, while Stamina and Iron Defense let it rapidly boost its Defense and power up Body Press. Solid Rock reduces the damage from its Achilles heel of Ground type damage.

 

[Mimik909]

Mega being Revolved: Mega Sharpedo
New Pokémon Name: Frenetaintum (Frenetatum (Rainbow Shark) + Taint)
Type of Pokemon: Convergent
Stats: 90/110/60/105/60/35 BST: 460
Typing: Water/Poison
Abilities: Strong Jaw, Sheer Force HA: Dazzling
Movepool Additions: Gunk Shot, Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb, Camouflage, Curse, Recover, Toxic, Toxic Spikes
Niche: Trades speed for more bulk. Allows it to be a more defensive mon with a slow Flip Turn. Can also run Mixed offensive sets as it gets great use out of Sheer Force buffing Liquidation, Scald, Sludge Wave, Gunk Shot and its many coverage moves. Think of it like a less bulky Toxapex that will also absolutely thrash a mon or two.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Camerupt
New Pokémon Name: Enigmagma (Enigma + Magma)
Type of Pokemon: Evoltuion
Stats: 100/115/85/115/85/30
Typing: Fire/Ground
Abilities: Sheer Force, Rock Head HA: Magma Armor
Movepool Additions: Headlong Rush, Burn Up, Power Gem, Head Smash
Niche: Incredibly slow, incredible wall breaker. As long as you can dodge the nefarious water types, this mon can absolutely blitz through things that aren't read for Rock Head Flare Blitzs or Rock Payload Head Smashs. You can theoretically attempt to run it as a bulky mon and 100/85/85 bulk isn't too bad but their better clicking big move instead of Stealth Rocks.

Mega being Revolved:
New Pokémon Name: Leonid (Pun due to this being a meteorite like Pokemon based of the Leonid meteor showers while also using Leo, the Latin word for Lion)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 86/109/66/68/72/106 BST: 507
Typing: Fire/Flying
Abilities: Fire Mane, Reckless HA: Rocky Payload
Movepool Additions: Hone Claws, Stone Edge, Head Smash, Rock Slide, Extreme Speed, U-Turn
Niche: What's that? Hone Claws with Physical Rock moves??? What Blasphemy! All in all, this Leonid is meant to be a fast yet incredibly frail mon that deals big damage and leaves. All the abilities even have their own use cases (It's Banded Flare Blitz or Hone Claws Stone Edge). Downsides? On the Flying side, you have Acrobatics and a dream.

(First time posting a set, tell me if I messed up and I'll fix it)

New Pokémon Name: Zeppelidon

Stats: 120/120/40/95/40/105
Typing: Water/Dark
Abilities: Strong Jaw, Innards Out
Movepool Additions: Jaw Lock, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Ice Fang,
Niche: Based on the Zeppelins used in WWI, it gains Hp to match one. It also gains the EXTREMELY niche ability of Innards Out, which allows it to deal damage back to the opponent after being KO’d, and because this is my fav ability in the game we are attaching it to him and hoping. (Also gains Jaw Lock as a strong Dark type attack.)

Stats: 70/100/80/135/105/40
Typing: Fire/Dragon
Abilities: Sheer Force, Stamina, Solar Power
Movepool Additions: Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dance,
Niche: With the added Dragon typing it gains one of the best types in the game, aswell as some strong moves to support its special attack stat. It went from volcano to being able to summon meteors out of the sky, in true dinosaur fashion. Idk where camel comes from however.
:pyroar-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Pyroar
New Pokémon Name: Flameow
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 96/68/82/119/66/116
Typing: Fire/Normal
Abilities: Fire Mane, Mega Sol, Chlorophyll
Movepool Additions: Grass Knot, Hidden Power (Keeps it even if this gets on main)
Niche: extremely powerful sun user, but cannot set sun for other pokemon. Also has very powerful grass moves to use aswell.
Kinda late lol. I also made these on the trip.

Niche: Physical sweeper mon with strong fire mane boosted fire lash / flare blitz and bulk up. It also gets great coverage, as well as burning bulwark which is a great way to spread burn.

:pyroar-mega: Your Pyroar competes with Elphablast :delphox-mega: but it is really strong on its own. The offensive stats are too high for what it wants to do. Furthermore, Quiver Dance and Earth Power on it make it way harder to answer. I would change its typing, reduce its stats by a bit and remove Quiver Dance.
:sharpedo-mega: This is also too strong. Its offensive stats are already too much, but I will not allow Sharpness on it. Here we want to encourage the use of the Mega Ability on the Revos. Sometimes the abilitiy isn't good enough so some mons have better abilities to use. Strong Jaw however, is a really good ability and suggest not adding Sharpness to it. Aside from removing

Stats: 100/115/85/115/85/30

:camerupt-mega: This competes with Scorchyvern :charizard-mega-y: which is overall a better Pokemon to yours. Besides that Drought would be used over Sheer Force and I prefer if the Revos use their Mega Abilities.

:camerupt-mega: Same goes here. I think Sheer Force should be the default ability not Drought. However, I also think that Dragon isn't a break typing on a Sheer Force mon, since those attacks usually have no secondary effect. I would replace Drought, but keeping the Dragon-type is up to you

24h warning for subs

 

[ViZar]

Voting time! I included all the subs that have been given feedback to and accordingly changed.
Here are vetoes not included. They can be added later once fixed:
- All Hail Ogerpon :sharpedo-mega:
- All Hail Ogerpon :pyroar-mega:

Voting Phase

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 Self-Vote 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.

Detailed Explanation

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.

Voting will last for 3 days and will be closed once every submitter has voted.

Ciao Servus

Mega being Revolved: Mega Camerupt
New Pokémon Name: Mountamel (Mountain + camel)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 100 HP / 110 Atk / 95 Def / 110 SpA / 95 SpD / 20 Speed | 530 BST
Typing: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Magma Armor / Dry Skin | Sheer Force
Movepool Additions: Slack Off, Headlong Rush, Blaze Kick (for Sheer Force), Scald, Crunch

Flavor moves

Brine, Chip Away, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Bite

Niche: Sheer Force is pretty powerful for a non-Mega Pokémon, so I focused on increased bulk to make the most of it’s wallbreaking potential. Dry Skin can be used instead as a lite version of Primal Groudon in that it eliminates it’s crippling Water weakness and become a mixed wall with utilities in Scald / Scorching Sands, Will-o-Wisp, Yawn and Roar.
Behind the Scene: Going further of the more aggressive attitude thay Mega Camerupt has, Mountamel is very stubborn and can spit onto those who were being pushy towards it. It is said that when it drinks water, the water is stored on it’s humps at first, before evaporating to help calm it down.

Mega being Revolved:
New Pokémon Name: Leonid (Pun due to this being a meteorite like Pokemon based of the Leonid meteor showers while also using Leo, the Latin word for Lion)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 86/109/66/68/72/106 BST: 507
Typing: Fire/Flying
Abilities: Fire Mane, Reckless HA: Rocky Payload
Movepool Additions: Hone Claws, Stone Edge, Head Smash, Rock Slide, Extreme Speed, U-Turn
Niche: What's that? Hone Claws with Physical Rock moves??? What Blasphemy! All in all, this Leonid is meant to be a fast yet incredibly frail mon that deals big damage and leaves. All the abilities even have their own use cases (It's Banded Flare Blitz or Hone Claws Stone Edge). Downsides? On the Flying side, you have Acrobatics and a dream.

(First time posting a set, tell me if I messed up and I'll fix it)

Submission Rules

Movepool:

• You can add moves to the Pokemon receiving a Revolution. Movepool Additions are not exclusive to the Revolutions.
• Only list important and usable moves for your submissions! You can add flavour moves and usually useless moves but put them into a spoiler. Furthermore, mark your strong move additions via bold or cursive text or with an underline.
• Moves that are not wildly accessible will be looked at with a harsher lense. Including them needs to have thematic sense or play into the niche of the Revolution.

Stats:

• You are not allowed to lower stats, except for speed. If you lower speed however, every other stat must see an increase. The amount depending on how much you decreased your speed.
• Swapping offensive stats is also allowed. Normally this is obvious, but it is appreciated if it is specified somewhere in the submission.
• If it is an evolution or an alternate forme of a Pokemon, you don't have to add all stats that are given to you. You have to add the very minimum of the spectrum given to you.

Miscellaneous:

• No custom elements.
• When a submission changes during the slate or after feedback, the changes have to be noted.
• You can choose between evolutions, split evolutions, regional variants, convergent species and alternate formes, unless noted otherwise.

Type of Pokemon and corresponding rules

Evolution
The base forme of the Pokemon will receive an evolution. The base forme will receive a boost from Eviolite. Added BST range varies from Pokemon to Pokemon.

:venusaur: BST+ added BST = :venusaur-mega: BST
:venusaur-mega: Movepool based on :venusaur: Movepool. Can add moves to :venusaur:

Split Evolution
The pre-evolution of the base forme of the Pokemon will receive an evolution. Must have the same BST as the base forme.
:ivysaur: -> :venusaur-mega:
:ivysaur: BST + added BST = :venusaur-mega: BST = :venusaur: BST
:venusaur-mega: Moveepool based on :ivysaur: Movepool. Can add moves to :ivysaur: but those will be added to :venusaur: as well

:venusaur-mega: Movepool based on :ivysaur: Movepool. Can add moves to :ivysaur: but those will be added to :venusaur: as well

Convergent Evolution / New set of Pokemon
The base forme of the Pokemon will receive a convergent evolution. It will not evolve from anything but take the base forme's learnset as a base. When it comes to Legendary and Mythical Pokemon, they can become a new set of Pokemon. Must have the same BST as the base forme.
:venusaur: = :venusaur-mega:
:venusaur: BST = :venusaur-mega: BST
:venusaur-mega: Movepool based on :venusaur: Movepool. This has its own movepool.

[PQRDG]

Can't believe I missed the last slate. Admittedly my only contribution would have been hoping for a Dry Skin Camerupt and that is what we got, so, I guess all good.

:gyarados-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Gyarados
New Pokémon Name: Leviathune
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 95/125/79/60/100/81 -> 104/132/88/60/101/90 [+9/+7/+9/+0/+1/+9]
Typing: Water/Dark
Abilities: Intimidate / Mold Breaker
Movepool Additions:
:gyarados: + Flip Turn, Pursuit
:gyarados-mega: +Jaw Lock, Wave Crash
Niche: Flip Turn allows Gyarados do be a good Intimidate pivot, and Mold Breaker with Wave Crash and Earthquake allows this new evolution to bypass abilities such as Dry Skin and Levitate.

:staraptor-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Stargeneral
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 85/120/70/50/60/100 -> 90/125/75/50/75/110 [+5/+5/+5/+0/+15/+10]
Typing: Fighting/Flying
Abilities: Intimidate / Contrary
Movepool Additions:
:staraptor: + Bulk Up, Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Focus Blast, Parting Shot
:staraptor-mega: + Counter, Thunderous Kick
Niche: Ideally Staraptor will have all of its Champions movepool, which adds Bulk Up, Blaze Kick, and Brick Break, which would all be useful for both the base form and the Intimidate version of the new evolution. (I may be missing other Champions moves but those are the ones that stand out.) Contrary Close Combat and an anti-Intimidate option, as well as Parting Shot as a new addition for pivoting, should make this a solid Pokemon with either ability. With these moves, it should be better than its Gen 9 counterpart, especially thanks to the return of moves like Roost and Defog. Even with just the return of Roost, Champions Mega Staraptor is an OU mon.
Edited: -15 Speed, +15 Sp. Def

:barbaracle-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Mermanacle
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 72/105/115/54/86/68 -> 88/111/121/55/88/77 [+16/+6/+6/+1/+2/+9]
Typing: Rock/Fighting
Abilities: Tough Claws / Sniper / Sturdy
Movepool Additions:
:barbaracle-mega: + Mighty Cleave
Niche: Already a strong Shell Smash user, Rock/Fighting becomes an excellent offensive typing that it can use quite well. Mighty Cleave is an addition that allows it to have a good Tough Claws Rock STAB, of which there are very few. Sturdy is an option for it to run a different held item instead of White Herb and still guarantee a successful Shell Smash.
Edited: Water Bubble -> Sturdy

 

[Samtendo09]

:gyarados-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Gyarados
New Pokémon Name: Atrociathan (Atrocity + Leviathan)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 125 HP / 135 Atk / 94 Def / 60 SpA / 105 SpD / 61 Speed | 580 BST
Typing: Water / Dark
Abilities: Intimidate | Mold Breaker
Weight: 355.5 kg
Movepool Additions:
:gyarados: + :gyarados-mega:: Pursuit, Jaw Lock, Temper Tantrum, Defog, Superpower, Fire Fang
:gyarados-mega:: Heat Crash, Poison Jab, Bitter Blade, Burning Jealousy, Flare Blitz, Flatter, Parting Shot
Niche: With a drastically improved bulk, lessened Electric weakness, no more Rock weakness but newfound ones in Grass, Fighting, Bug and Fairy, Atrociathan work more as a slow wallbreaker with Parting Shot pivoting, wheeas Gyarados remains a set-up sweeper that can now benefit Eviolite. Though Dragon Dance is still viable for Atrociathan as it synergize well with Bitter Blade to discourage Grass-type switching in and recover some lost health.
Behind the Scene: As the name may indicate, it is based on various intrepetations of the Leviathan of various myths. The wild Gyarados’ perpetual wrath is twisted into a smug, yet dreadful attitude that are the type playing with their food before finishing their prey off.

:staraptor-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Staraptor-Rebel
Type of Pokemon: Alternate Form
Stats: 95 HP / 125 Atk / 85 Def / 50 SpA / 70 SpD / 85 Speed | 510 BST
Typing: Fighting / Flying
Abilities: Intimidate | Contrary
Weight: 35.6 kg
Movepool Additions:
:staraptor: + :staraptor-mega:: Flying Press, Revenge, Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Foul Play, Taunt
Niche: Close Combat Contrary is no joke, as it allows Mega Staraptor to snowball their defenses into nearly unmovable without weaknesses. The reduced speed vs regular Staraptor means it can be easier to revenge kill a scarfed Staraptor-Rebel and get a jump on it without relying on Ghost-type. Taunt serves as a mean for both it and regular Staraptor to disrupt walls.
Behind the Scene: Unlike Skarmory-Sharpened, Staraptor-Rebel go for a different direction vs their base form with slower, but marginally better bulk to take advantage of Contrary + Close Combat. Mega Staraptor’s design evokes a more rebellious spirit, which fits with the Contrary Ability, and hence the form name “Rebel”. It is said that it only aligns with trainers that also has a rebellious spirit.

:barbaracle-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Armadacle (A play of “armed and dangerous” + barnacle)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 86 HP / 110 Atk / 130 Def / 54 SpA / 86 SpD / 74 Speed | 540 BST
Typing: Rock / Fighting
Abilities: Tough Claws / Technician | Sap Sipper
Weight: 250 kg
Movepool Additions:
:barbaracle: + :barbaracle-mega:: Accelerock
:barbaracle-mega:: Mach Punch, Slack Off, Wave Crash, Mighty Cleave, Spikes, Rapid Spin
Niche: Shedding off the awkward Water / Rock defensive type, Armadacle is built as a more versatile Pokémon than just “another of those Shell Smash mons” with access to Sap Sipper to bait numerous Grass-type Pokémon such as Rillaboom, though that Ability is more match-up fishy. Technician can be used as an alternative for Tough Claws for a stronger boost for Accelerock / Mach Punch or for sweeping with Rock Blast + Loaded Dice. Spikes and Rapid Spin gives additional utility.
Behind the Scene: With Mega Barbaracle’s pose that do scream “aura farming”, I imagine Armadacle being an overconfident fighting machine ready to take on even those who look (and are) much stronger than it. However, it will feel immense humiliation if defeated by a Pokémon smaller than it, such as Pikaraichu and Hawlucha.

 

[War Incarnate]

:sv/barbaracle-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Brutacles (Brutal + Barnacle [plural form])
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 92 (+20) / 115 (+10) / 115 / 54 / 91 (+5) / 73 (+5) (540 BST)
Typing: Rock / Fighting
Abilities: Dry Skin / Tough Claws / Pickpocket
Movepool Additions:
:barbaracle: + :barbaracle-mega:: Accelerock, Mach Punch, High Horsepower
:barbaracle-mega:: Mighty Cleave, Drain Punch, Knock Off, Rapid Spin
Niche: It's a fairly standard, run-of-the-mill big sweeper. While Rock/Fighting is awful defensively, Brutacles packs solid enough defenses that let it survive at least a hit or two in spite of said poor typing. Shell Smash is the big setup option of choice, obviously, doubling its speed and Attack in exchange for Defense drops that White Herb lets it dodge. Mighty Cleave and High Horsepower are both added as Tough Claws-boosted STAB/coverage that enhance Brutacle's offensive threat, while Dry Skin sacrifices the big power boost from Tough Claws in exchange for a potentially useful Water immunity. Rapid Spin is also somewhat nice to ensure Brutacles can actually give back to its team. (and because Brutacles' STABs make for good coverage on their own, you might even be able to pull off a Swords Dance + Rapid Spin set under the right circumstances!)

:sv/staraptor-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Staraptor-Renegade
Type of Pokemon: Alt Forme
Stats: 90 (+5) / 125 (+5) / 80 (+5) / 50 / 80 (+20) / 100 (520 BST)
Typing: Fighting / Flying
Abilities: Intimidate / Contrary
Movepool Additions:
:staraptor-mega:: Bulk Up, Blaze Kick, Taunt

Flavor Moves

:staraptor-mega:: Brick Break, Night Slash

Niche: Staraptor, but bigger and better. While losing Reckless means its Brave Birds won't be quite as strong (and it still has to contend with base 100 Speed being a crowded speed tier and therefore easy to speed tie/outspeed without a Choice Scarf), it more than makes up for this with Contrary Close Combat, which in addition to being boosted by STAB, now also makes it tankier and so much harder to KO. It also has the neat utility of discouraging Defog and Intimidate as well. Of course, Intimidate is also a strong ability too, and when combined with Bulk Up boosting its Attack and Defense, can make it a formidable sweeper in the right situations.

:sv/gyarados-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Gyarados
New Pokémon Name: Enviathan (Envy + Leviathan)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 110 (+15) / 125 / 89 (+10) / 60 / 110 (+10) / 86 (+5) (580 BST)
Typing: Water / Dark
Abilities: Intimidate / Mold Breaker
Movepool Additions:
:gyarados: + :gyarados-mega:: Pursuit, Flip Turn
:gyarados-mega:: Liquidation, Poison Jab, Gunk Shot, Defog, Bulk Up, Slack Off
Niche: Gyarados, with already high starting stats and great typing to boot, will likely lean more into its Dragon Dance antics with Eviolite to give it more setup opportunities (granted, it might still want Boots to dodge Stealth Rock...). To distinguish itself from its base, Enviathan is much tankier and while Water/Dark is not quite the same as Water/Flying defensively, being able to switch into the Ghosts and other Darks running amok in the meta makes it no slouch and helps distinguish it from its base. Flip Turn and Pursuit, in tandem with Slack Off, makes it a mean, lean pivot, while Bulk Up gives it a setup option that sacrifices the speed boost of Dragon Dance (of which it is still good at using) in exchange for making it that much harder to take down defensively. Liquidation is added as a stronger Water STAB that also comes with a nasty chance of lowering Defense.

 

[Mimik909]

Mega being Revolved: Mega Gyarados
New Pokémon Name: Gyarados-Ramaging
Type of Pokemon: Alt Form
Stats: 95/60/84/130/105/106
Typing: Water/Dark
Abilities: Mold Breaker, No Guard
Movepool Additions: Focus Blast, Muddy Water, Draco Meteor, Flip Turn
Niche: Inaccurate moves with No Guard gives me joy. No moves that can be heavily abused, just being able to use relatively good coverage moves (also Hydro Pump is useful). I merely want to switch attacking stats because some of Gyarados' moves are really bad.
Lore: Crueler Gyarados no longer wish to exert the energy that it takes to destroy cities and have instead resorted to devastating long range tactics. Their Hyper Beams and Hydro Pumps easily decimate small town though groups of rampaging Gyarados may band together to destroy larger cities.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Staravage (Ravage + the Star Prefix of the line)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 95/130/80/50/80/50
Typing: Fighting/Flying
Abilities: Contrary, Scrappy
Movepool Additions: Triple Axel, Close Combat, Thunderous Kick, Body Press, Hammer Arm, Trop Kick
Niche: Either a Contrary mon that slowly racks up defensive and speed boosts to slowly become a blitzing wall or a Lorb Sheer Force mon with really good coverage.
Lore: Known as "The Fallen Leader" Staravage is an evolution of a Staravia that used to lead a pack before sustaining a devastating wing injury which was then abandoned by its friends. Now no longer able to fly, this Pokemon instead relies on its leg strength to launch itself into the air and glide, seeking its old friends to show them that a true leader never gives up.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Crustaseen (Crustacean + Seen)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 104/122/120/58/106/30
Typing: Rock/Fighting
Abilities: Tough Claws, Compound Eyes HA: Sniper
Movepool Additions: Power Whip, Gunk Shot, Baneful Bunker, Crabhammer
Niche: Tough Claws! Head Smash! Big Damage! Other than that, you have two options. Option number one, Hone Claws Sniper (Cross Chop and Stone Edge is pretty good with STAB and Sniper, who would have guessed?) or option number two Tough Claws Head Smash Close Combat (actively trying to make yourself easier to kill). Secret Option 3 is spamming Cross Chops and Stone Edge's without any risk of missing which is also fun (just not as good).
Lore: Crustaseen is said to always be watching. Its eyes follow you no matter where you run. Do not engage. Do not get close. Do not stare at the eyes. If you look for too long, you will no longer be yourself and will soon be surrounded by long arms with those same very eyes that drew you near. No wonder it left from the sea to enter land; prey is easier to catch up here.

 

[ViZar]

Servus!
First things first, with the abilities for the Z-Megas revealved, they'll be included in the current cycle of upcoming slates. Here are the abilities:
:absol-mega-z: Sharpness
:garchomp-mega-z: Levitate
:lucario-mega-z: Aura Guard (Halves the damage taken by physical moves)

As a reminder, these are the current slate line-up:
Slate 18: :victreebel-mega::aerodactyl-mega::eelektross-mega:
Slate 19: :chimecho-mega::meowstic-m-mega::meowstic-f-mega:
Slate 20: :meganium-mega::feraligatr-mega::emboar-mega:
Slate 21: :absol-mega-z::garchomp-mega-z::lucario-mega-z:

The rules for these slates will be released when voting starts. I'm gonna give some feedback on the current subs now:

:staraptor-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Stargeneral
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 85/120/70/50/60/100 -> 90/125/75/50/60/125 [+5/+5/+5/+0/+0/+25]
Typing: Fighting/Flying
Abilities: Intimidate / Contrary
Movepool Additions:
:staraptor: + Bulk Up, Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Focus Blast, Parting Shot
:staraptor-mega: + Counter, Thunderous Kick
Niche: Ideally Staraptor will have all of its Champions movepool, which adds Bulk Up, Blaze Kick, and Brick Break, which would all be useful for both the base form and the Intimidate version of the new evolution. (I may be missing other Champions moves but those are the ones that stand out.)

Even with just the return of Roost, Champions Mega Staraptor is an OU mon.

:barbaracle-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Mermanacle
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 72/105/115/54/86/68 -> 88/111/121/55/88/77 [+16/+6/+6/+1/+2/+9]
Typing: Rock/Fighting
Abilities: Tough Claws / Sniper / Water Bubble
Movepool Additions:
:barbaracle-mega: + Mighty Cleave
Niche: Already a strong Shell Smash user, Rock/Fighting becomes an excellent offensive typing that it can use quite well. Water Bubble option gives it an effective third STAB (maintaining its previous STAB from before evolving), as well as keeping it immune to burns. Mighty Cleave is an addition that allows it to have a good Tough Claws Rock STAB, of which there are very few.

Click to collapse...

:staraptor-mega: I think the speed is too much. This guy can easily afford to run max Atk and Spe and click CC to make up for its bulk. I'd lower its speed so there are offensive threats to it.
:barbaracle-mega: I think it'd be too much with Water Bubble doubling Water moves damage, thus giving it a third STAB essentially, but with the added bonus of burn immunity pushes it. I'd remove that ability.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Staravage (Ravage + the Star Prefix of the line)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 95/130/85/50/85/40
Typing: Fighting/Flying
Abilities: Contrary, Technician
Movepool Additions: Triple Axel, Double Kick, Superpower, Pounce, Rock Tomb, Body Press, Hammer Arm
Niche: Either a Contrary mon that slowly racks up offensive, defensive and speed boosts or a Technician mon that likes to throw out absurd Dual Wingbeats, Triple Axels and ok Double Kicks for STAB.
Lore: Known as "The Fallen Leader" Staravage is an evolution of a Staravia that used to lead a pack before sustaining a devastating wing injury which was then abandoned by its friends. Now no longer able to fly, this Pokemon instead relies on its leg strength to launch itself into the air and glide, seeking its old friends to show them that a true leader never gives up.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Barbaracle
New Pokémon Name: Crustaseen (Crustacean + Seen)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 104/122/120/58/106/30
Typing: Rock/Fighting
Abilities: Tough Claws, Compound Eyes HA: Sniper
Movepool Additions: Power Whip, Gunk Shot, Baneful Bunker, Head Smash
Niche: Tough Claws! Head Smash! Big Damage! Other than that, you have two options. Option number one, Hone Claws Sniper (Cross Chop and Stone Edge is pretty good with STAB and Sniper, who would have guessed?) or option number two Tough Claws Head Smash Close Combat (actively trying to make yourself easier to kill). Secret Option 3 is spamming Cross Chops and Stone Edge's without any risk of missing which is also fun (just not as good).
Lore: Crustaseen is said to always be watching. Its eyes follow you no matter where you run. Do not engage. Do not get close. Do not stare at the eyes. If you look for too long, you will no longer be yourself and will soon be surrounded by long arms with those same very eyes that drew you near. No wonder it left from the sea to enter land; prey is easier to catch up here.

Click to collapse...

:staraptor-mega: Superpower won't be allowed on it. The spread you gave it makes bulky set-up sets really strong. Also Technician won't be used on it much. DWB may be a better Brave Bird, but with bulk and HP investment, a CC set won't mind the Brave Bird recoil. Triple Axel is nice but it won't be as appealing as a Contrary set.
:barbaracle-mega: Head Smash is too much. The extra HP and STAB on the move is too much and it has 2 abilities to make the move more valuable.

Slate is closing in 24h.

 

[ViZar]

Voting time! All subs have been fixed. Here are the rules.

Voting Phase

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 Self-Vote 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.

Detailed Explanation

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.

Voting will last for 3 days and will be closed once every submitter has voted.

:gyarados-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Gyarados
New Pokémon Name: Atrociathan (Atrocity + Leviathan)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 125 HP / 135 Atk / 94 Def / 60 SpA / 105 SpD / 61 Speed | 580 BST
Typing: Water / Dark
Abilities: Intimidate | Mold Breaker
Weight: 355.5 kg
Movepool Additions:
:gyarados: + :gyarados-mega:: Pursuit, Jaw Lock, Temper Tantrum, Defog, Superpower, Fire Fang
:gyarados-mega:: Heat Crash, Poison Jab, Bitter Blade, Burning Jealousy, Flare Blitz, Flatter, Parting Shot
Niche: With a drastically improved bulk, lessened Electric weakness, no more Rock weakness but newfound ones in Grass, Fighting, Bug and Fairy, Atrociathan work more as a slow wallbreaker with Parting Shot pivoting, wheeas Gyarados remains a set-up sweeper that can now benefit Eviolite. Though Dragon Dance is still viable for Atrociathan as it synergize well with Bitter Blade to discourage Grass-type switching in and recover some lost health.
Behind the Scene: As the name may indicate, it is based on various intrepetations of the Leviathan of various myths. The wild Gyarados’ perpetual wrath is twisted into a smug, yet dreadful attitude that are the type playing with their food before finishing their prey off.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Staraptor
New Pokémon Name: Staravage (Ravage + the Star Prefix of the line)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 95/130/80/50/80/50
Typing: Fighting/Flying
Abilities: Contrary, Scrappy
Movepool Additions: Triple Axel, Close Combat, Thunderous Kick, Body Press, Hammer Arm, Trop Kick
Niche: Either a Contrary mon that slowly racks up defensive and speed boosts to slowly become a blitzing wall or a Lorb Sheer Force mon with really good coverage.
Lore: Known as "The Fallen Leader" Staravage is an evolution of a Staravia that used to lead a pack before sustaining a devastating wing injury which was then abandoned by its friends. Now no longer able to fly, this Pokemon instead relies on its leg strength to launch itself into the air and glide, seeking its old friends to show them that a true leader never gives up.

Niche: Already a strong Shell Smash user, Rock/Fighting becomes an excellent offensive typing that it can use quite well.

Sturdy is an option for it to run a different held item instead of White Herb and still guarantee a successful Shell Smash.

Submission Rules

Movepool:

• You can add moves to the Pokemon receiving a Revolution. Movepool Additions are not exclusive to the Revolutions.
• Only list important and usable moves for your submissions! You can add flavour moves and usually useless moves but put them into a spoiler. Furthermore, mark your strong move additions via bold or cursive text or with an underline.
• Moves that are not wildly accessible will be looked at with a harsher lense. Including them needs to have thematic sense or play into the niche of the Revolution.

Stats:

• You are not allowed to lower stats, except for speed. If you lower speed however, every other stat must see an increase. The amount depending on how much you decreased your speed.
• Swapping offensive stats is also allowed. Normally this is obvious, but it is appreciated if it is specified somewhere in the submission.
• If it is an evolution or an alternate forme of a Pokemon, you don't have to add all stats that are given to you. You have to add the very minimum of the spectrum given to you.

Miscellaneous:

• No custom elements.
• When a submission changes during the slate or after feedback, the changes have to be noted.
• You can choose between evolutions, split evolutions, regional variants, convergent species and alternate formes, unless noted otherwise.

Type of Pokemon and corresponding rules

Evolution
The base forme of the Pokemon will receive an evolution. The base forme will receive a boost from Eviolite. Added BST range varies from Pokemon to Pokemon.

Split Evolution
The pre-evolution of the base forme of the Pokemon will receive an evolution. Must have the same BST as the base forme.
:ivysaur: -> :venusaur-mega:
:ivysaur: BST + added BST = :venusaur-mega: BST = :venusaur: BST
:venusaur-mega: Moveepool based on :ivysaur: Movepool. Can add moves to :ivysaur: but those will be added to :venusaur: as well

:victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Victreebel
New Pokémon Name: Violarge (Viola, a flower that fires out its seed to reproduce, and large)
Type of Pokemon: Convergent Line
Stats: 115/105/85/70/100/40
Typing: :grass: :poison:
Abilities: Innards Out HA: Filter
Movepool Additions:
:weepinbell: now gets: Gunk Shot, Leech Seed, Rock Slide
:victreebel-mega: gains access to: Venom Drench, Coil, Explosion, Gyro Ball
Niche: Big Plant Go Boom. Essentially a mon that can just sink a sweep, similar to Drifblim with the Victreebelite in MnMLS. Leaf it alone? Toxic. Try not to OHKO it with your already set up mon? Clear Smog. Think you can break through it with your physical mon? Strength Sap. Also very conveniently has Curse in case you want to just randomly start set up sweeping.
Lore: Violarge are very dormant species that usually don't fight back. They produce incredibly dangerous acid so they use their vine to keep the acids to the base of their stomach, making sure to filter the digestive ones when they eat food. Be careful though, as dying Violarge spew out all their acids due to them being weak to hold the vine, instantly corroding away whatever may have been hit by it, including people and Pokemon.

:aerodactyl-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Aerodactyl
New Pokémon Name: Catacoatlus (Cataclysm + Quetzalcoatlus,)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 90/110/75/65/75/140
Typing: :rock: :flying:
Abilities: Tough Claws, Rock Head HA: Reckless
Movepool Additions:
:aerodactyl: now gets: Extreme Speed, Acrobatics
:aerodactyl-mega: gains access to: Flare Blitz, Accelerock, Wild Charge
Niche:
Recoil Moves Go Brrr
- A wise person probably
Catacoaltus is meant to be a fast blitzing mon with either good recoil moves or dropping crazy powerful acrobatics with Tough Claws. Because of this high power, it will not be getting any attack buffs. Have fun Head Smashing, Flare Blitzing, E Speeding and dropping Acrobatics/Dual Wingbeat (idk whether you want an item).
Lore: The creature shown to be the reason fossil Pokemon went extinct. Single handedly responsible for the eradication of Pokemon species, Catacoaltus is a mon that can bypass Mach 11 speeds while still catching prey. However due to this speed, they found it difficult to easily spot prey that may blend in with the ground. Or in the case of one Pokemon, the sea floor. The perfect life form indeed.

:eelektross-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Eelektross
New Pokémon Name: Eelekstrike
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 105/120/100/110/120/20
Typing: :electric: :fighting:
Abilities: Eelevate
Movepool Additions:
:eelektross: now gets: Aura Sphere, Flip Turn, Zing Zap, Focus Blast, Vacuum Wave
:eelektross-mega: gains access to: Sludge Wave, Gunk Shot, Cross Chop, Stone Edge, Dynamic Punch, Aqua Jet
Niche: "Mimik, this is the third time you've shown the class an evolution being slower this week", Mimik wants to click Coil Cross Chop with STAB. Welcome one and all to an OK bulk mon with an immunity to ground! Eelevate is actually really good right now, non-attacking sets like the ground immunity and offensive sets like the grim neigh/moxie like boost (unless you're running it so it gets defensive boosts, in which case, why???). Its Def is also its lower defense to accommodate for coil. A weakness Psychic and Fairy isn't very fun but Gunk Shot covers the fairies.
Lore: Eelekstrike uses its mucus to make two extra limbs, able to easily break rocks in its way. However, its electricity formed from the sacs in its body have been transferred separately to each new arm which are equally magnetically charged, causing Eelekstrike to constantly hover off the ground. The slightest movement of its arm can lead to it launching a devastating blow to any foe unlucky enough to be in front of it.

(Used to be a Poison/Electric type but I changed it so we wouldn't have two of them)

 

[PQRDG]

Oh hey I subbed an Electric/Poison Mega Eelektross to Umbremons, might as well also sub that here! This is totally an original idea and Mimik stole it from me.

Also I totally forgot to vote for the last slate, whoops.

:eelektross-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Eelektross-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Eelektrooze
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 85/115/80/105/80/50 -> 100/120/90/110/90/75 [+15/+5/+10/+5/+10/+25]
Typing: Electric/Poison
Abilities: Eelevate
Movepool Additions:
:eelektrik: + Agility, Clear Smog, Ember, Flame Burst, Leech Life, Toxic Spikes, Venom Drench
:eelektross: + Blaze Kick, Earth Power, Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Sucker Punch, Temper Flare
:eelektross-mega: + Earthquake, Fire Blast, Gunk Shot, Overheat
Niche: STAB Coil Gunk Shot with Eelevate, making this almost unique Electric/Poison type be really good defensively. Better Ground and Fire coverage on either offensive stat allows it to have multiple good options.

:aerodactyl-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Aerodactyl-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Terrordactyl
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80/105/65/60/75/130 -> 90/120/90/75/90/90 [+10/+15/+25/+15/+15/-40]
Typing: Rock/Dragon
Abilities: Tough Claws / Pressure / Rocky Payload
Movepool Additions:
:aerodactyl: + Accelerock, Acrobatics, Brave Bird, Dual Chop, Head Smash, Scale Shot
:aerodactyl-mega: + Diamond Storm, Draco Meteor, Dragon Rush, Dragon Tail, Power Gem
Niche: Base Aerodactyl gets STAB Rock Head Brave Bird. The new evo is a Rock/Dragon heavy-hitter that uses its Rock-covered body to also get Rocky Payload as an all-in option for its strong Rock moves.

:victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Victreebel-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Victreebel-Glutton
Type of Pokemon: Alt Forme
Stats: 80/105/65/100/70/70 -> 110/90/75/125/90/60 [+30/-15/+10/+25/+20/-10]
Typing: Grass/Poison
Abilities: Innards Out / Gluttony
Movepool Additions:
:bellsprout: + Absorb, Corrosive Gas, Leech Seed, Poison Gas, Sludge, Smog
:victreebel: + Acid Armor, Cross Poison, Gunk Shot, Recycle, Solar Blade, Toxic Spikes, Venoshock
:victreebel-mega: + Chloroblast, Mortal Spin
Niche: Huge HP for Innards Out to do big damage when this Pokemon faints. Thanks to tools such as Strength Sap, Gluttony and now the addition of Recycle, its secondary ability allows it to be a Pokemon that can outlast Pokemon that it poisons with Toxic/Toxic Spikes/etc.

 

[War Incarnate]

:sv/victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Victreebel
New Pokémon Name: Belloatsom (Bell + Bloat + Blossom)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 115 (+35) / 120 (+15) / 85 (+20) / 105 (+5) / 85 (+15) / 40 (-30) (550 BST)
Typing: Grass / Poison
Abilities: Chlorophyll / Innards Out
Movepool Additions:
:victreebel: + :victreebel-mega:: Gunk Shot, Toxic Spikes, Leech Seed, Corrosive Gas, Clear Smog
:victreebel-mega:: Mortal Spin, Curse

Flavor Moves

:victreebel:: First Impression, Acid Armor

Niche: Big attacker that can keep itself alive with Strength Sap while being able to dish out plenty of harm in return with a meaty Attack stat and Curse (or Swords Dance, but you'll mostly want Curse for the extra Attack + Defense boost with the Speed drop not mattering with how slow Belloatsom is anyways). If direct attacking ain't your thing, it can pressure the opponent to knock it out (and therefore trigger Innards Out) in a variety of ways big and small, such as using Toxic, Toxic Spikes, or Leech Seed to spread chip damage, Corrosive Gas to destroy the opponent's item, or Mortal Spin to remove the opponent's hazards.

:sv/aerodactyl-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Aerodactyl
New Pokémon Name: Aerodactyl-Reawakened
Type of Pokemon: Alt Forme
Stats: 90 (+10) / 115 (+10) / 75 (+10) / 60 / 75 / 135 (+5) (550 BST)
Typing: Rock / Flying
Abilities: Tough Claws / Rock Head / Intimidate
Movepool Additions:
:aerodactyl: + :aerodactyl-mega:: Acrobatics, Brave Bird, High Horsepower
:aerodactyl-mega:: Accelerock, Defog, Spikes, Superpower
Niche: Fast breaker that can either use Tough Claws for a generically strong power boost (with Brave Bird for immediate power or Dual Wingbeat to avoid recoil + having niche applications in breaking Focus Sashes or Sturdy), or Rock Head for recoil-free Brave Birds that still carry good power off of this form's much more solid base Attack stat. Alternatively, it can go the route of oldgen Aerodactyl, working as a decently serviceable suicide lead (or it can just otherwise work as a good offensive support 'mon), getting off Rocks or Spikes before taking itself out to block a Rapid Spin or Defog.

:sv/eelektross-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Eelektross
New Pokémon Name: Eelektrolyte (Eel + Electrolyte)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 105 (+20) / 130 (+15) / 80 / 110 (+5) / 110 (+30) / 50 (585 BST)
Typing: Electric / Water
Abilities: Eelevate
Movepool Additions:
:eelektross: + :eelektross-mega:: Gunk Shot, Sludge Bomb, Scald, Hydro Pump, Focus Blast, Aqua Jet
:eelektross-mega:: Flip Turn, Recover, Sludge Wave, Surf, Aqua Tail, Ice Beam, Ice Spinner, Power Whip

Flavor Moves

:eelektross: + :eelektross-mega:: Agility, Aqua Cutter, Bubble Beam, Water Pulse
:eelektross-mega:: Chilling Water, Brine, Dragon Rush, Muddy Water, Soak

Niche: No, Electric/Water isn't any Electric/Poison, with the latter's myriad of weaknesses and only a Psychic weakness to boot. That would've been more fitting, but that's been done already, so... point is, Electric/Water is about as good with Levitate in tow (after all, why do you think Rotom-Wash lasted as long as it did in OU?). Yeah, sure, pretty much bricking into Ogerpon-Wellspring and being so slow in the process is not good, and the Coil synergies are much less satisfying, but you still have an impressive coverage pool to boot. Furthermore, it also helps that your STABs are much more synergistic offensively, with Water covering for the Grounds that Electric so hates and Electric covering for opposing Waters (and you still have plenty of good resists, including ones to Fire, Water, and Ice). Recover enhances Eelektrolyte's good bulk and defensive typing, helping it stick around, while Eelevate, slow though it might be at first, really makes it so much more threatening should it be able to knock something out.

:victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Victreebel
New Pokémon Name: Bellaboom (Bell + -a- + boom)
Type of Pokemon: Split Evo
Stats: 105 HP / 110 Atk / 65 Def / 85 SpA / 65 SpD / 60 Speed | 490 BST
Typing: :grass::normal:
Abilities: Innards Out | Corrosion
Movepool Additions:
:victreebel-mega: Solar Blade, Snap Trap, Hyper Voice, Explosion, Rapid Spin, Stomping Tantrum, Chloroblast

Flavor moves for Bellaboom

Self-Destruct, Double-Edge, Take Down, Body Slam, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact

:weepinbell: Gunk Shot, Leech Seed, Toxic Spikes, Venoshock
Niche: Versatile explosive Pokémon with either Innards Out for an anti-sweep measure, or go for Corrosion to bait-in Steel-type with Toxic. Grass / Normal is done to increase it’s chance for full HP Innards Out with six weaknesses, with the benefit of Ghost-type immunity, and it has access to Sucker Punch to weaken the sweeper into Innards Out range, or use Explosion for STAB devastation against even a wall.
Behind-the-Scene: Mega Victreebel feels like it’ll explode at any moment, so I expend upon that with Chloroblast and STAB Explosion. Bellaboom being a branched evolution of Weepinbell here is a reference to the scrapped branched evolution the latter has in the Gold + Silver Spaceworld demo.

:aerodactyl-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Aerodactyl
New Pokémon Name: Aerodactyl-Present
Type of Pokemon: Alt-Form
Stats: 80 HP / 105 Atk / 65 Def / 100 SpA / 75 SpD / 130 Speed | 555 BST
Typing: :rock::poison:
Abilities: Rock Head / Tough Claws | Levitate
Movepool Additions:
:aerodactyl: Acrobatics, Toxic Spikes, Accelerock
:aerodactyl-mega: Poison Jab, Flare Blitz, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Gunk Shot, Wild Charge

Flavor moves

Smog, Acid Spray, Acid

Niche: Aerodactyl has a large presence in VGC, so I avoid the Mega Revo being strictly better in case we get a Doubles format. It can use Tough Claws or Rock Head for physical sets at risk of a double Ground weakness, or Levitate for support or special attacking sets. Toxic Spikes grant it and standard Aerodactyl an additional tool as a suicide lead. Accelerock allows both standard Aerodactyl and Present Aerodactyl to pick off very low HP opponents as well.
Behind-the-Scene: The Poison-type comes from the mythcial basilisk that can cause severe ill just by seeing it. Present Aerodactyl’s higher Special Attack is simply to take advantage of Aerodactyl’s Flamethrower / Fire Blast in way that threatens Steel-type; the Fire-type moves is also why Present Aerodactyl gets Flare Blitz to take further sdvantage of Rock Head and Tough Claws.

:eelektross-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Eelektross
New Pokémon Name: Surgeelite (Surge + eel + elite)
Type of Pokemon: Evolution
Stats: 130 HP / 120 Atk / 85 Def / 120 SpA / 90 SpD / 40 Speed | 585 BST
Typing: :electric:
Ability: Eelevate
Movepool Additions:
:eelektross: Slack Off, Parabolic Charge, Toxic Spikes, Venoshock, Liquidation, Hydro Pump, Scald, Flip Turn
:eelektross-mega: Volt Tackle, Thunder Cage, Wave Crash, Fire Blast

Flavor moves for both

Water Gun, Bubble Beam, Surf, Whirlpool

Niche: While it competes with Raging Bolt and Wooluster in terms of a slow, bulky Electric-type, it stood out among the rest with no weaknesses (other than Mold Breaker Ground moves or Thousands Arrows, that is), making it’s comparable bulk and consistent recovery shine a lot more. Volt Tackle is added to make it’s physical sets even more dangerous, and the recoil is offset by Slack Off. Alternatively, it can even be a mixed wall with Slack Off for recovery, threaten unsuspecting Pokémon with Thunder Cage, and also act a slow Pivot with either Volt Switch or Flip Turn, and can even reverse sweep with Coil.

There is one Pokémon that would competes with Surgeelite significantly: Gorochu, fellow Levitate Electric-type. Gorochu has access to Fire Lash, which can pressure even Coil sets, and has faster Speed, additional resistances through it’s Fire-type, and an additional STAB for offensive sets.
Behind-the-Scene: The Tynamo line’s shtick - including Mega Eelektross - is a pure Electric-type with Levitate thus no weaknesses normally, so I feel that adding a secondary type would undermine the gameplay concept. Eelevate is a neat compromise, and I may give it a more “weird/eldritch” look given the other half of Eelevate is the same as Beast Boost.

Stats: 105 / 125 / 80 / 125 / 100 / 50 [BST: 585]
Typing: :electric: :dark:
Abilities: Eelevate
Movepool Additions: Dark Pulse, Foul Play, Jaw Lock, Sucker Punch, Zing Zap, Fire Blast
Niche: realistically elektross already has a fantastic movepool so it doesnt need much in that aspect for it to succeed. giving it dark-type for the special side and stab koff mainly since its excellent into stuff like ghold dragapult glowking tornt etc. either use as a coil sweeper with prio now due to sucker or av pivot.

Typing: :Grass::Poison:
Abilities: Innards Out | HA: Gluttony
Movepool Additions: Toxic Spikes, Earthquake, Leech Seed, Memento, Gunk Shot, Mortal Spin
Niche: Bellagastro is a fat defensive pivot that can serve as a decent form of utility with a solid defensive typing and a hilarious ability in Innards Out.

:ss/eelektross-mega:

New Pokémon Name: Eelektruction
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 95 HP (+10) / 125 Atk (+10) / 80 Def / 110 SpA (+5) / 85 SpD (+5) / 85 Spe (+35) | BST: 580
Typing: :electric::dragon:
Abilities: Eelevate
Movepool Additions:
:Eelektross: Dragon Dance, Recover, Parabolic Charge, Nasty Plot
:eelektross-mega: Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor, Hydro Pump, Sludge Bomb, Zing Zap
Niche: I wanted to fully explore how well Eelevate can be played around stats wise, so Eelektruction has a statline that allows it to tweak it's stats to the point where it can reasonably pull it off. Special Wallbreaker, Dragon Dance, Bulky Coil, it doesn't matter, it's statline and movepool let's it be very flexible as a Pokémon and I hope it can pull this off in the future as well.

Lore: Violarge are very dormant species that usually don't fight back. They produce incredibly dangerous acid so they use their vine to keep the acids to the base of their stomach, making sure to filter the digestive ones when they eat food. Be careful though, as dying Violarge spew out all their acids due to them being weak to hold the vine, instantly corroding away whatever may have been hit by it, including people and Pokemon.

:victreebel-mega: I allowed Innards Out on the Sharpedo Revo because it lacked utility and overall bulk. Therefore, it'd be better if you lower the HP of your sub.

:aerodactyl-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Aerodactyl-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Terrordactyl
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 80/105/65/60/75/130 -> 90/120/90/75/90/90 [+10/+15/+25/+15/+15/-40]
Typing: Rock/Dragon
Abilities: Tough Claws / Pressure / Rocky Payload
Movepool Additions:
:aerodactyl: + Accelerock, Acrobatics, Brave Bird, Dual Chop, Head Smash, Scale Shot
:aerodactyl-mega: + Diamond Storm, Draco Meteor, Dragon Rush, Dragon Tail, Power Gem
Niche: Base Aerodactyl gets two new STABs that benefit from Rock Head. The new evo is a Rock/Dragon heavy-hitter that uses its Rock-covered body to also get Rocky Payload as an all-in option for its strong Rock moves.

:victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Victreebel-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Victreebel-Glutton
Type of Pokemon: Alt Forme
Stats: 80/105/65/100/70/70 -> 125/90/75/125/75/60 [+45/-15/+10/+25/+5/-10]
Typing: Grass/Poison
Abilities: Innards Out / Gluttony
Movepool Additions:
:bellsprout: + Absorb, Corrosive Gas, Leech Seed, Poison Gas, Sludge, Smog
:victreebel: + Acid Armor, Cross Poison, Gunk Shot, Recycle, Solar Blade, Toxic Spikes, Venoshock
:victreebel-mega: + Chloroblast, Mortal Spin
Niche: Huge HP for Innards Out to do big damage when this Pokemon faints. Thanks to tools such as Strength Sap, Gluttony and now the addition of Recycle, its secondary ability allows it to be a Pokemon that can outlast Pokemon that it poisons with Toxic/Toxic Spikes/etc.

:aerodactyl-mega: How many times do I have to tell you. No Head Smash on Rock-types.

:victreebel-mega: Same with the Victreebel sub above, I think you should lower the HP.

:sv/victreebel-mega:
Mega being Revolved: Mega Victreebel
New Pokémon Name: Belloatsom (Bell + Bloat + Blossom)
Type of Pokemon: Evo
Stats: 125 (+45) / 120 (+15) / 75 (+15) / 105 (+5) / 80 (+10) / 40 (-30) (550 BST)
Typing: Grass / Poison
Abilities: Chlorophyll / Innards Out
Movepool Additions:
:victreebel: + :victreebel-mega:: Gunk Shot, Toxic Spikes, Leech Seed, Corrosive Gas, Clear Smog
:victreebel-mega:: Mortal Spin, Curse

Flavor Moves

:victreebel:: First Impression, Acid Armor

Niche: Big attacker that can keep itself alive with Strength Sap while being able to dish out plenty of harm in return with a meaty Attack stat and Curse (or Swords Dance, but you'll mostly want Curse for the extra Attack + Defense boost with the Speed drop not mattering with how slow Belloatsom is anyways). If direct attacking ain't your thing, it can pressure the opponent to knock it out (and therefore trigger Innards Out) in a variety of ways big and small, such as using Toxic, Toxic Spikes, or Leech Seed to spread chip damage, Corrosive Gas to destroy the opponent's item, or Mortal Spin to remove the opponent's hazards.

:victreebel-mega: Again, slightly lower HP please.
