Inspiration: A mashup of multiperson chinese festival costumes
Ability: Flash Fire / Majestic | Justified (HA)
Stats: 90 / 110 / 80 / 100 / 80 / 95 | BST: 555
Movepool Additions: ( same movepool as Arcanine otherwise )
: Fang Charge
Fang Charge - now only has a 30% chance to badly poison if the user is Poison type - otherwise 20% chance to lower Def
: Draco Meteor, Fiery Dance
: Dragon Dance
Movepool Removals:
Play Rough, Close Combat
Sprite: Arcanine has a square jaw like a chinese lion, bird legs and talons, and a long, multicolored tail
Weight: 155 kg
Gender: 25% male 75% female
Size: 1.9 m
Competitive use: This version of Alolan Arcanine shares a lot in common with its Kantonian counterpart, including its offensive and defensive versatility. It gains a better defensive typing and secondary STAB, which should boost its viability. Majestic arguably combos with Will-o-Wisp better than Intimidate, as well. Dragon Dance variants hit much less hard than Mega Charizard X, but they don't have to risk taking 50% from Stealth Rock and have Majestic to secure setup opportunities. It can also go mixed with Draco Meteor or fully special to avoid recoil.
Is it OP?: The existence of Mega Charizard X probably means that the tier can handle it. It's basically just a more defensive counterpart.

: Granite Tail*, Stone Edge, Rock Slide
:
: Stealth Rock,
Granite Tail* - Rock type | Physical | 15-24 PP | Deals damage equal to the user's level. Breaks screens as well as Protect.
Movepool Removals:
Petal Blizzard, Petal Dance, Light Screen, Reflect,
Sprite: Meganium looks more like a real brontosaurus, with its neck held out in front and tail behind. It has leaves around its neck, but they are fairly small. The antennae on its head are green ferns. Its tail has a rocky club at the end of it that looks like a pestle for crushing herbs.
Weight: 155 kg
Gender: 25% male 75% female
Size: 1.9 m
Competitive use: Grass and Rock cancel out a bunch of each other's weaknesses, making it a boon to both team types. Both types have a hard time establishing balance teams due to the high number of weaknesses, so this guy should help with that. It offers a lot of team support, with Stealth Rock, screen breaking, and Aromatherapy.
Is it OP?: It's a passive wall for two types that have tons of weaknesses, so I think it can be a little crazy in terms of bulk and not be OP. Also keep in mind that Sand Stream relegates it to using Leech Seed for recovery.
Flavor: It uses its tail to crush herbs and release a soothing aroma. Alolan Meganium have barely changed for millions of years, making them the second most ancient non-revived species behind Relicanth. They predate the evolution of flowering plants, hence the lack of petal based moves.
