Name: A Stat "Cutback"
General Description: A Pokemon that through moves or perhaps even abilities is able to lower the stats of the foe.
Justification: Stat decreasing is only ever seen as a side-effect to an attack or through Intimidate. It would be very interesting to see us create a Pokemon that fills a unseen niche, and makes it viable at the same time. It would provide a great learning experience into an un-touched upon concept.
Explanation: OK, I was thinking, "hmm, I really want us as a community to explore un-used tactics, and see if we can make them into great things." This strategy isn't ever used as a main tactic so I want to see if we could Create-A-Pokemon who could do such a thing. It could be very good at causing switches and just messing around with the opponent. It could even use things like Burn and Paralysis to "cutback" the foe's stats.
