Hmm, you bring up some good points. Would decreasing Delibird‘s stats to 75/105/80/120/80/135 be fine? It’s still quite powerful, but now it’s actually revenge killable and is a good dealer frailer now.The stats are close to double the original's (45/55/45/65/45/75 [330 BST] • 2 = 90/110/90/130/90/150 [660 BST]). Currently, the only plausible counter is Accelerock. Use the doubled value of a mon's base stat as the cap on each value for each mon with BST≤350. The council agrees it is currently too powerful.
Lacks flavor. Regardless, it qualifies as broken. √
Broken √
Present: Togekiss and Blissey both have access to this move as well, and they currently have Serene Grace. That would be 50% chances of the effects, which is beyond broken even considering their dismal Attack stat values. Spamming this at 120 base power and an attack stat of 130– with STAB for Delibird on top of that– with a chance to inflict both volatile status and non-volatile status– not to mention the chance that it might heal– adding a tertiary effect chance to the move. You must nerf this by modifying either its current effects or its yet-unaddressed aspects (such as Acc., PP, crash damage, recoil, stat drop, etc.). ∆
Ice Body: Broken √
As for Present, I changed it to be exclusive to Delibird and for it to be a clone of Hex. If you need anything else, or if I screwed up somewhere else, let me know. Also, everything else about Present, such as PP and accuracy, are the same as before.

Dracovish is barely Uber, and this is far from it. What broke Dracovish had to do with Strong Jaw boosting a usually-high-powered Water-type attack (not commonly countered, since a majority of Pokémon with Ability-based Water immunity would already resist or take neutral damage from Water, and often had better alternative Abilities) paired with Choice Scarf. The reason that Choice Band with Sand Rush doesn't break Dracozolt is how Electric has common counters, and its defenses are lower. What you've done is boost its Special Attack (which Dracovish never had practical use for) and given it weather-abusive Abilities that actually put it at higher risk (Thunder is guaranteed to hit in rain, and I expect it will eventually break as well in this pet mod).
Removed Soundproof instead of just adding Slush Rush? That's a little odd, don't you think? I guess it helps some of the Avalanche flavor… Other than that, this is brokenough. √
Splendid take on added effects! It helps that this would also have these effects for (unbroken) Abomasnow-Mega after mega-evolving in battle! √
Technician was already buffed: "Moves with ≤75 bp have 1.5x power" …so currently most punch moves get 112 base power. And before you ask, Iron Fist multiplies Punch move power by 1.6, so that's another option. Last I checked, the boost from Technician applies after all other boosts (and doesn't stack), which is why there is a difference between boosting a move's base power, boosting an attack's damage calculation, calculation of HP value, and boosting a Pokémon's attacking stat. I suppose you thought the boost repeated until the base power exceeded 60? Well, it unfortunately doesn't, or else several Pokémon would be Uber-tier. That said, you can suggest that mechanic in another slate. For now, however, moves like Brick Break, Rock Slide, Fire/Ice/Thunder Punch, and certain moves executed through Mimic or Metronome all get 112 base power with Technician. That's a lot of damage! I'm not saying you should nerf anything, but you might want to review what has already been broken before declaring this broken. As it currently stands, it is not disqualified.
Ice Berry (existed in Gen 2 only): Restores 75% max HP at 1/2 max HP or less; freezes holder if not an Ice type. Single use.
Never-Melt Ice: Holder's Ice-type attacks deal 1.1× damage, and it heals 1/10 of its maximum HP after using an Ice-type attack.
Snowball: Holder's Ice-type attacks deal 1.6× damage, but it loses 1/10 of its maximum HP after the attack.
Ice Gem: It boost the damage and the freeze chance of the first Ice type move by 50%. it is consumed after that move is used.
We're going with the ones with a point value closest to 2⅔ but were either not clone-voted or which didn't win elsewhere. Grand total of three:
