I'm not the best at determining usages, but here are my submissions for this round!
Offspring : Scigon
New Stats : 85/125/100/77/90/92 [BST 569]
New Type : Bug/Ground
New Ability and Description : Desert Spirit (The Pokemon's bug-type moves are super effective against ground types. Grants immunity to ground moves.)
Notable moves : Physical: Bullet Punch, Crunch, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Earthquake, Fire Punch, Iron Head, Night Slash, Outrage, Power-up Punch, Pursuit, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Superpower, Thunder Punch, U-turn, X-Scissor.
Status: Protect, Roost, Sandstorm, Swords Dance, Tailwind.
Role Description : Scigon is a set-up sweeper with respectable defenses and a solid physical movepool. It can force other set-up users out if they try to wall it with physical bulk while healing itself to stay alive.
Mega Scigon (Scizorite)
New Stats : 85/145/140/87/110/102 [BST 669]
New Type : Bug/Ground
New Ability and Description : Technician
Newly Notable moves : Aerial Ace, Bug Bite, Bulldoze, Dragon Tail, Dragonbreath, Power-up Punch, Quick Attack, Rock Tomb.
Role Description : Can still set up, but now may not need it to sweep less-bulky teams. Technician Bug Bite is more powerful than X-Scissor and Bulldoze/Rock Tomb is a speed-lowering core with perfect coverage, making up for Scigon's so-so speed when sweeping.
