Gah these are all actually really good! (Especially considering the round before this...)

It's a hard decision to make...

Sticky web volbeat, would make it more viable with his prankster, but there are enough prankster mons as it is IMO and sticky web is pretty gimmicky as well, its users are easy to kill and getting rid of it is as easy as sending in a flyer or levitater.

Flash fire gourgeist I was going to pick because I think the meta game really needs a defensive mon to counter all these offensive behemoths, but then I realized while it walls fire Pokemon now, it can't do anything back....

Simple slowking is awesome but I also really like regenerator

So my vote goes to intimidate mega aerodactyl. A good defensive mon with lots of utility, a mega stone worth using, and a check to top threats? Sounds great.

SubSeed and Rock Slide are both options to deal with Fire-types, although Leech Seed admittedly does take some time.
 
I'm a little hesitant to vote, because after playing the meta, I realized that most of my assumptions were way off base (sorry I ever doubted you cresselia), but I really like the idea of simple slowking.
 
Flash Fire Gourgeist

With this ability, Gourgeist can put a full stop to both Mega Charizards Forms, something that is imo only done by him and is much needed in this meta.

But then again, Intimidate Mega Aerodactyl also can counter both Zards, provided it was able to Mega-evolve beforehand.

Dark + Fairy Mega Absol
I'm surprised no one has recommended this yet. He would lose his bug and fighting weakness. Although his frailty gets in the way, it wouldn't be as easy to U-Turn or Mach Punch revenge kill him.

At the same time, he gains a 4x resistance to dark, making him the best switch in to knock off with justified. And STAB on Play Rough means at +2 he does more damage with it than M-Mawile.

We're only voting on pokemon in this post, just PM alex
Sorry for the delay guys, here is our next slate:
  • Sticky Web Volbeat (ethan06)
  • Intimidate Mega Aerodactyl (Red Cat)
  • Flash Fire Gourgeist (Magma)
  • Simple Slowking (Chesnaught)
You have 24 hours to vote. Only vote for one theorymon, and the theorymon with the most votes wins. Don't forget to bold your votes, otherwise they won't count. In the case of a tie, we will vote again for the two theorymon that tied, with another day time limit. Start voting!

And here is the competitive merit behind each theorymon:

Sticky Web Volbeat: Prankster Sticky Web, need i say more? Other non-attacking moves such as Thunder Wave and Encore are nice to mess with Rapid Spin and Defog users, and you can even use Tail Glow + Baton Pass if the opponent decides to bring in defensive users of Rapid Spin or Defog. Prakster Thunder Wave and Encore also help keep in check almost any sweeper, so you have that too.

Mega Aerodactyl with Intimidate:

Flash Fire Gourgeist: Can now check or counter Mega Charizard Y, Mega Charizard X, Zapdos, Heatran, Dragonite, and Mega Manectric, as well as some other minor threats, such as Entei and Rotom-H. Gourgeist also becomes a full counter to any Rotom-W set without Toxic.

Simple Slowking: Trick Room + Nasty Plot can act as both a terrifying sweeper and wallbreaker, and physically defensive with Calm Mind and Slack Off combine utility with sweeping potential.

I have to vote for Flash Fire Gourgeist, it's a theorymon I nearly proposed myself. It's also something that fits it so well that I actually expected it to be official, back when we were still unsure about XY's hidden abilities. Somehow Litwik is a candle that absorbs fire, but Gourgeist is a jack-o-lantern that is... weak to fire?

Flash Fire would give Gourgeist a unique set of switch-in opportunities to a few threats like Zapdos, Manectric, Heatran, Char-Y, something I'd definitely like to see!
 
Flash Fire Gourgeist seems rather interesting. Come on, the Jack o' Lantern pokemon definitely needs to be able to handle fire.
 
Simple Slowking it would've worked better with Slowbro because of it's physically defensive bulk since a calm mind set would've worked better, but it would still be threatening on slowking too

Slowbro is in B rank, so according to the rules found in the OP it isn't eligible for a theorymon.
 
Flash Fire Gourgiest

Gourgiest-XL is a great wall already, but the ability to check both Charizard forms on something not named Azumarill is simply amazing.

Oh ok, I'm not very familiar with using it, which explains how I don't know it's moves. If it wins I'd still love to discuss it, however, my vote stays to aerodactyl, because I feel it has a more pressing need to become viable, as opposed to other mons.

Also, alexwolf do the old theorymons get removed from the ladder after the first round, or do the stay and more and more are just added in?

That was the reasoning behind making Altaria dragon/fairy, and all it did is make nobody want to use Charizard. I personally really want something to balance all the fairies out there.
