Welcome to the NU Theorymon project!
Here, we will be discussing potential buffs (a new ability, a new move, or a new typing) on a Pokemon, and how it will positively impact its niche in the NU metagame.
So here is how the system is going to work. We're going to have a slate of 4-5 Pokemon that have been submitted from different users and handpicked (except for the first slate, which are my picks to get the project started). We then will discuss these "theorymons" for about 2-3 days, and then we'll commence voting, which last 4-5 days, and the winning Pokemon will be put in our archive.
You may submit theorymons any time you want, but please try to keep it at a maximum of 1-2 of them. When submitting a theorymon, please don't make it mindless like Boomburst Mesprit. Make it actually be logical, and give it an actual use.
When discussing the slates, here is what you want to be looking at:

When discussing the slates, here is what you want to be looking at:
- How will this buff positively impact the Pokemon?
- How will this buff impact the entire NU Metagame?
- Is this buff outclassed by other Pokemon?
- Can this Pokemon now take on different roles?
- Don't suggest changes about Pokemon that are already pretty viable in NU. Of course the term 'pretty viable' is open to interpretation, so to be more specific, everything in B- rank and below in the viability ranking thread is fair game.
- Don’t suggest changes that make or may make a Pokemon broken
- Only theorymon ideas that bring positives to the NU metagame and have useful implications will be picked, which means no Huge Power on random Pokemon and other similar buffs.
- You can only add a secondary typing to Pokemon of one type, or change the second type of a dual-typed Pokemon.
- Those changes should at the very least not contradict flavor. They don’t have to fit a Pokemon’s flavor perfectly, but don’t suggest a secondary Fire-type for Grass-types for example.
don't tell me you actually clicked this expecting to see something in it
