love your sub, but Rock Polish is a default move, so it cannot be replaced. To choose a move to replace you should look here, under Bastiodon's section, in the "Head Moves:" part. I'll make that clear in the Slate opening post.
Move Name: Shield Bash
Giver:Bastiodon
Move Replaced:Rock Polish
Type:
Category:
BP:85
Accuracy:100
Max PP: 16
Effects: Damage is calculated by the defense stat.
Attributes: It makes contact
Reasoning: Alright so this is just a steel type Body Press, which currently Bastiodon doesn't have access to. I figured shield bash would be fitting given that it the head that would give it this move. Bastiodon has a shit attack stat and so I figured, hey let me give it a damaging move it can actually use effectively. As for why I'm throwing out Rock Polish, Bastiodon has the speed of Slowbro. Rock polish is not going to help this thing at all.
Gotcha and I'm glad you like it. I swapped Rock Polish with Metal Sound.
Move Name: Northern Lights
Giver: Aurorus
Move Replaced: Avalanche
Type:
Category:
BP: --
Accuracy: --
Max PP: 16
Effects: Sets up Hail and Reflect for 5 turns; both effects last 8 turns if the user is holding Icy Rock or Light Clay; if Hail condition summoned by Hail or Snow Warning or Reflect are already active, turn count will restart; Hail will fail if used.
Attributes: Fails under Air Lock, Primordial Sea, Desolate Land and Delta Stream, both effects are ignored by Cloud Nine and interrupted by Screen Cleaner, Brick Break and Psychic Fangs, Lycanrock's Z-Move and weather moves and abilities; doesn't stack with Reflect; Aurora Veil can be used, but it only adds Light Screen effect if both are active, turns are counted separately though.
Reasoning: Aurorus passes Snow Warning only with its Tail part, so it needs a way to set it up easily while using also a handy effect, considering that it gives only 2 points of stat bonus in Defense. And yes, teorically you can make Hail last forever, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Move Name: Algae Bite
Giver: Cradily
Move Replaced: Sludge Wave
Type:
Category:
BP: 75
Accuracy: 95%
Max PP: 24
Effects: While user is on the field, target cannot switch out; inflicts 2x damage under Rain or Heavy Rain.
Attributes: Biting move, boosted by Strong Jaw; Ghost-types are immune to the secondary effect, but they take damage anyway; effect is removed by Rapid Spin.
Reasoning: Cradily mashups need a strong attacking moves, as all the defensive mashups will almost certainly use it as a tail part and it already provides all the support moves it needs. The effect will also let it inflict all the passive damage it needs, stalling out the opponents.
Move Name: Lily Leech
Giver: Cradily
Move Replaced: Sludge Wave
Category:
Type:
BP: 85
Accuracy: 100%
Max PP: 16
Effects: Leaves Leech Seed on its target.
Attributes: Contact
Reasoning: It's a Sappy Seed clone but slightly weaker.
Sludge Wave is replaced because, assuming Cradily ever wants to run a Poison-type move, it has Sludge Bomb from its TM/TR list (which is probably better for it because of higher % of poisoning).
Move Name: Bastile Steelspike
Giver: Bastiodon
Move Replaced: Magic Coat
Type:
Category:
BP: -
Accuracy: -
Max PP: 20
Effects: Sets the "Steel Stealth Rocks" Gigantamax Copperajah does.
Attributes:
Reasoning: son of raj
Move Name: Aurora Assault
Giver: Aurorus
Move Replaced: Avalanche
Type:
Category:
BP: 95
Accuracy: 100%
Max PP: 15
Effects: 1.5x power under Hail.
Attributes:
Reasoning: Strong STAB that takes advantage of Snow Warning.
Move Name: Shield Bash
Giver:Bastiodon
Move Replaced:Metal Sound
Type:
Category:
BP:85
Accuracy:100
Max PP: 16
Effects: Damage is calculated by the defense stat.
Attributes: It makes contact
Reasoning: Alright so this is just a steel type Body Press, which currently Bastiodon doesn't have access to. I figured shield bash would be fitting given that it the head that would give it this move. Bastiodon has a shit attack stat and so I figured, hey let me give it a damaging move it can actually use effectively. As for why I'm throwing out metal sound, ask yourself this, "When was the last time you used metal sound?"
Move Name: Intense Freeze
Giver: Aurorus
Replaces: Haze
Type: Ice
Category: Special
Power: 85
Accuracy: 100%
PP: 15
Effect: Hits Steel-Types super-effectively.
Reasons: I feel like that because of the lack of STAB on moves that hit Steel super-effectively that this is necesary.
Example of a voting post (aka my votes):
Move Name: Grassid Maw
Giver: Cradily
Move Replaced: Pain Split
Type:
Category:
BP: 80
Accuracy: 100
Max PP: 16
Effects: Deals super effective damage to Steel types.
Attributes: Contact, biting
Reasoning: Steel types are the bane of Grass Pokemon, and this move allows Cradily head fusions to break through them more easily.
Move Name: Bastion
Giver: Bastiodon
Move Replaced: Endure
Type:
Category:
BP: --
Accuracy: --
Max PP: 16
Effects: Heals user 50% of its max HP and raises Def by 1 stage
Attributes: Recovery move
Reasoning: Bastiodon fusions appreciate recovery to augment their bulk.
Move Name: Aura Aurora
Giver: Aurorus
Move Replaced: Barrier
Type:
Category:
BP: 90
Accuracy: 100
Max PP: 16
Effects: Heals user 50% of damage taken by opponent
Attributes: Recovery move
Reasoning: Aurorus head fusions lack a strong spammable Ice STAB, and Aurorus itself lacks any reliable recovery to pass to its fusions, so this move fills in for both of these.

Or did you mean voting?
I guess my thunder was stolen?
Ur right sorry
That's because it's not charming.
Hey nice subs, but Aerodactyl's move has to be Flying-type.
Move Name: Pterachomp
Giver: Aerodactyl
Move Replaced: Crunch
Attributes: Dark | Physical | 130 BP | 90% Acc | 10 PP | The user suffers 50% of the damage dealt as recoil.
Reasoning: A way to abuse Rock Head in a way that gives Aero a third STAB of sorts.
