Description: Beetilient is a tough beetle with A B S. Anyway, resistances to common physical moves such as U-Turn, Knock Off, Earthquake or Close Combat makes it a great answers to pokemon using these moves and lets it get a Stamina boost. These resistances with Stamina make it very "resilient" on the physical side. Stamina also lets it boost its stab Body Press, making Beetilient surprisingly difficult to switch-into. It's a great answer to pokemon like Magroach, Laopharsi, Jungape, Correept and Cetaidon. Its fairly unique access to Spikes also gives it decent utility that can help make teammates such as Skappa, Storvark or Magroach more threatening. However, Beetilient has some pretty annoying weaknesses. Its special bulk is quite awful, basically forcing it to switch out when faced with any special attacker. This weakness is made even worse when facing special attackers that can switch into its Body Press especially such as Spirox. Its lack of pivoting options makes it a momentum sink meaning you will likely have to risk a double-switch if you don't want your opponent to bring in a strong special attacker for free against it. Regardless, Beetilient's physical bulk makes it a great blanket walls that can cover many of the format's physical attackers.

Description: Cosmole is a relatively bulky mon, having decent 95 / 95 / 110 bulk. While it's typing normally isn't a good one defensively, Prism Armor weakening supereffective hits, its own good defensive stats, combined with Cosmic Power make it no easy feat to kill. It's most likely to run a Rapid Spin Pivot set with U-Turn for pivoting and its bulk. A more offensive set could choose to run Rock Polish Meteor Beam, but would be lacking coverage. Another option for an offensive set would be Tough Claws combined with a Choice item or Rock Polish. The last and most gimmicky set is Rest Talk Cosmic Power, allowing Cosmole to become ridiculously bulky and stack up boosts quickly.
Lore: A long time ago, in an era now forgotten, a meteor fell to the earth, holding the key to limitless power and endless danger, Eternatus. After a fierce bout with the heroes, Eternatus once again fell to its long slumber, but the effects of its rampage lingered. Dynamax energy across Galar vastly changed the landscape, along with Drillbur and Excadrill that had gotten affected by it. Fusing with the energy, these Pokemon took new forms in the shape of Cosmole.
Dex Entry 1: The size of the star on Cosmole's head varies from creature to creature, and the bigger the star, the stronger that Cosmole is.
Dex Entry 2: Cosmole's claws aren't that sharp, but a dormant trait from its time as a Drillbur causes them to constantly regrow. Many Cosmole choose to take advantage of this in combat.
thoughts, as usual please don't take any of this for fact
Thermasorb: Pretty cool breaker. Not the fastest out there, and it doesn't have the biggest movepool, but it has just enough for both to compliment its power. Would be stonewalled by Dullaham had it not been for Shadow Ball, which would normally not be great on a mon like this, but it likely doesn't want to run much outside of Fire Blast / Ice Beam / Freeze-Dry so that slot is open anyways. Maybe it'd appreciate Substitute to ease prediction or something? I dunno. Our more general walls are just bulky enough to not be broken by Boots variants, but the matchup isn't fully one-sided either. This further sets the precedent of 100 Speed being a big benchmark, which I know a lot of people have wanted and I don't disagree with that being a good thing to have
Beetilient: My sub was very similar to this, with this mon having less immediate bulk but access to Stamina and Body Press, the latter of which I completely forgot existed when making mine. For that reason, it kinda goes without saying that I like this sub and am glad that it won. This makes for a pretty decent consistent check to jungle monkey while having actual recovery, which sets it apart from Heraleo. On top of this, we don't really have many full-on physical walls, and this was something I had hoped to see with my sub. So yeah, pretty happy here, not much else to say.
Cosmole: It seems that this is an unpopular opinion both according to the Discord and the very polarized votes, but I don't see the appeal to this Pokemon. We had only one other Spikes user in the format before this slate so having more of that is good, its raw defensive stats are nice, and this Pokemon has a great matchup against the scary Nympheral. It will likely struggle against most other Pokemon in the format since Ground/Psychic is not a good defensive typing here, most Pokemon will intrinsically run something super effective against this. Many of them that don't will have some way of severely annoying it as well, like Gencook being able to set up on it and Clavelye exploiting its succeptibility to status. Its role likely will be relegated to a setup spam mon with Stored Power for Screens or a Spikes lead set. But those Stored Power sets would lack initial power and would be exploited by Jungape and Spincaba, and we already have a bunch of leads for the current meta and I'd like to see something more varied. I might just be missing something since I once again am in the clear minority, but I personally don't see the appeal. Maybe someone could explain on the Discord or something.

Thermabsorb: I really like it, seems like a really cool wallbreaker. Obviously, it's locked into boots without amazing hazard support, but I'm not too concerned about that. Sets 100 speed as a benchmark which is good, and ice fire coverage with freeze-dry is really nice. Seems like a fun mon.
Beetilient: I really like it, physical walls are always nice. Has a lot of cool tools and good coverage paired with stabs. Scared of special attackers with this, but that can probably be remedied with AV or hard switches. Not the best remedy, but its there. Really nice.
Cosmole: Yay! My sub got in. It does have quite a few weaknesses, but the immediate bulk and Prism Armor patch it up. It probably runs a bulky rapid spin pivot set since it has a handy rocks resistance so it can use an item that isn't boots. Also has U-Turn and Teleport for pivoting. Also has the option to keep spikes up throughout the game, which is a relatively unique option. Very happy that my baby got in and looking forward to what he'll do.

Moves:
Type: Steel / Flying
Ability: Drought
Stats: 72 / 115 / 80 / 50 / 120 / 58
Moves:
Physical: Brave Bird, Dual Wingbeat, Fire Punch, Flare Blitz, Gyro Ball, Iron Head, U-turn, Wild Charge
Special: Air Slash, Fire Blast, Flash Cannon, Flamethrower, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, Weather Ball
Status: Defog, Roost, Shift Gear, Swords Dance, Will-O-Wisp
Description: Sun Setter, Mixed Wall, and Setup Sweeper. Drought is an interesting ability for Steel/Flying types. While it does magnify its Fire-type weakness (which justifies me putting more bulk eheheh), its many resistances (notably to Ground, Flying, and Poison) help it support the Fire- and Grass-types it will presumably support. It basically has all of defensive Corviknight's tools along with Will-O-Wisp, which helps patch its mediocre physical bulk. Additionally, Shift Gear helps this Pokemon sweep despite its low base speed, Drought also helping boost its Fire coverage, which lets it hit Steel-types better. Although it is incompatible with other weather archetypes where it would like to be, like Rain and Sand, its solid typing, bulk, and versatility lets it be a solid pick in and out of weather.Pokemon: Felipse [feline + eclipse]
Type: Dark / Normal
Abilities: Run Away / Serene Grace
Stats: 80 / 100 / 85 / 150 / 105 / 40
Moves:
Physical: Body Slam, Crush Claw, Knock Off, Night Slash, Play Rough, Sucker Punch
Special: Dark Pulse, Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Tri Attack
Status: Calm Mind, Swords Dance, Moonlight, Trick Room
Description: Offensive Trick Room. It's high offensive stats and solid offensive typing and coverage let it be devastating if it gets the chance to set up Trick Room (which honestly doesn't seem that often but still). It can attempt to cheese past targets with Serene Grace Dark Pulse and Tri Attack, and even has the option to run a physical set with Crush Claw and Sucker Punch.

Name: Thecosea (Thecosomata + Sea)
Ability: Swift Swim / (Misty Surge)
Typing: Water/Fairy
Stats: 70 / 75 / 70 / 115 / 140 / 55
Weight: 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb
Relevant Moves (Universal TMs: Yes)
Phys: Flip Turn, Spirit Break
Spec: Blizzard, Dazzling Gleam, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Surf, Terrain Pulse
Status: Acid Armor, Amnesia, Calm Mind, Defog, Moonlight, Wish
Flavor Moves: Aqua Ring, Brine, Bubblebeam, Confuse Ray, Draining Kiss, Hail, Life Dew, Rain Dance, Misty Explosion, Nature Power, Tail Whip, Waterfall, Water Pulse
Flavor: Thecosea is based on a sea butterfly... which contrary to the name, is actually a group of sea snails. Sometimes shelled, sometimes not. Thecosea, which I imagine to look more like this in my head but more Pokémon-like, isn't as firmly shelled as the others. Things are really small. These are not to be confused with sea angels, which is what Manaphy and Phione are based on, but the two are very closely related. As in "the same scientific order of Pteropoda" close.
Description: Thecosea is intended to be a slow but powerful defensive pivot, boasting what would be the highest special defense in the meta thus far if it wins. Its physical movepool is somewhat lacking, but 75 attack is enough for a decent off-stat Flip Turn. It's also got power and a way to boost, but the key here is that its speed here of 55 is quite slow. A boon for a slow pivot, but a bane for its only mild longevity when statuses come into play. Swift Swim can allow a far faster and offensive sweeper, but the current Drizzle user prefers Magic Guard. Setting Misty Terrain for free to null statuses for the field is also an option, but there's not a whole ton of things able to take use of it.

Flavor Moves: Beat Up, Brutal Swing, Crafty Shield, Decorate, Payback, Self-Destruct
Flavor: Originally I just said 'Chansey with a knife' as a joke submission for this typing. Then someone said it'd be a deviled egg. Now we're here with a largeish deviled egg Pokémon because I live for stupid ideas. Front and bottom are relatively egg-like, the back-top chunk is gone to show the 'filling', which has little protection from that angle. Also probably has little horns to drive home the 'deviled' part of the joke. Maybe some stick-like legs just so it has some movement beyond rolling.
Description: Click Shell Smash, do big damage. It's a Deviled Egg that approaches you at incredibly high speeds, but also can be stopped right in its tracks by Mach Punch or Vacuum Wave, so I'm not too concerned about Diablovi being the second fastest Smasher after Minior-Core. Held back on the moves a little bit, for better or worse, since this is definitely annoying enough when you consider something like Sash Weak Armor and are suddenly dealing with a +4 speed egg capable of running either offense stat. 75 is kinda slow unboosted, though.

Clarification: Gargavil's starting form may be chosen outside of the teambuilder.
Description: Gargavil has a lot of traits that stand out about it, whether it be its high stats, amazing movepool, a benchmark 100-speed tier, and forme-changing. Let's go over the possibilities. Statue forme has decent 75/100/100 bulk with solid recovery in Roost and a boatload of utility with Stealth Rocks, Defog, Parting Shot, and more. With pivoting, hazards and hazard removal, and more, Statue forme is a solid wall and pivot. Awakened forme is on the complete other end of the spectrum with 115/115 offenses and a boosting move in Swords Dance or Nasty Plot. Combining the physical set with Tough Claws for a free Life Orb boost or Mirror Armor to dissuade Intimidate mons is amazing, and special sets still threaten out a lot of mons with +2 Hurricanes. Stance Chance sets are most likely to run sets akin to Aegislash, with Swords Dance, Sucker Punch, Bullet Punch, and King's Shield.
Lore: On a dark night with the moon bright in the sky, shadowy figures dance upon the rooftops of buildings, taunting those below them. Gargavil rampage around cities at night, stealing food and knick-knacks, pranking unaware wanderers, and making mischief all around. During the day, they take on a statuesque appearance and rest so they have enough energy to cause mischief the following night.
Dex Entry 1: During the day, Gargavil take on a statuesque appearance and remember those who damage their statue to prank them at midnight.
Dex Entry 2: Long, long ago, a Gargavil saved a human princess, and gained the favor of the queen. This Gargavil was given a shiny new coat of paint and served the kingdom.

Description: Fuscicea is based on the Fu Manchu Lionfish, whose scales and mustache, instead being incredibly poisonous, is said to be able to cure various ailments. This handsome mustache fish is designed around being a mixed set up wallbreaker, who can alter between two main playstyles. Its physical sets are more offensively oriented, running Swords Dance alongside Adaptability-boosted Liquidation/Aqua Tail/Aqua Jet, Play Rough, alongside one other coverage move. Meanwhile, its special sets are a bit more defensively oriented, opting to boost its special defense as well. This is complimented by its overall higher special-attacking stat and its decent special defense.

Name: Abelve
Ability: Beast Boost
Typing: Water/Fairy
Stats: 79/89/83/127/139/53 (570 BST)
Weight: 8.5kgs
Relevant Moves: Calm Mind, Energy Ball, Heal Bell, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Misty Explosion, Moonblast, Psychic, Recover, Scald, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Trick, Trick Room, All Universal TMs
Flavor Moves: After You, Ally Switch, Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring, Baby-Doll Eyes, Blizzard, Brine, Bubble, Bubble Beam, Charm, Covet, Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Dive, Draining Kiss, Fake Tears, Flash, Giga Impact, Grass Knot, Hail, Helping Hand, Hyper Beam, Icy Wind, Life Dew, Light Screen, Magic Coat, Misty Terrain, Muddy Water, Play Rough, Psych Up, Rain Dance, Safeguard, Solar Beam, Surf, Swift, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool
Description: Remember how Nympheral was an Ultra Beast representing the solid state of matter? Well Abelve is liquid. With its huge special defense stat and recover, it becomes a sturdy special blanket wall. This special bulk paired with potential Scald burns can make it quite dangerous to take out. However, its utility as a straight up wall is limited to Heal Bell and maybe Thunder Wave, which aren't bad but aren't quite as important as something like Stealth Rock or Defog. However, Abelve's high special attack stat, good coverage and access to Trick Room can also make it a threatening offensive Trick Room user. It could also make use of Misty Explosion to give another Trick Room abuser a safe switch after setting it up. Overall, Abelve is a great blanket special wall and can also be used for Trick Room.
Name: Sci-Fly

Description: Sci-Fly is a small mechanical bird with multiple tools to understand and learn about its environment, making it an AI that acts very similarly to most other pokemon. When it comes to competitive, Sci-Fly's high speed is its most important trait and can be used both offensively or defensively. Its decent physical bulk and great defensive typing can let it take on physically offensive threats like Jungape or Laopharsi. It has access to the utility moves it would want to fill that role, notably, Defog, Roost, Thunder Wave or U-Turn. However, despite its mediocre attacking stats, Sci-Fly has access to some nice tools if it wants to be a good special attacker, notably solid coverage, Calm Mind as well as Download and Analytic. Analytic may seem like a strange option because of its high speed and it probably isn't amazing, but it's a consistent 30% damage boost to switching opponents, which is an advantage when compared to Download which has a chance to boost Sci-Fly's lower attack instead. Download is probably still its best ability though, as it's quite strong at +1 spatk and can even start using Calm Mind to stack up boosts. Speaking of Calm Mind, Sci-Fly makes great use of it thanks to its high speed, decent physical bulk and Toxic immunity. This gives it the chance to set muliple up and sweep. So I've highlighted many of Sci-Fly's strengths, but what actually counters it? Well the most obvious answer are electric types. Pokemon like Storvark or Whiscamp don't have to fear much from it and can hit it quite hard with their electric stab. Fire types like Fluxtape or Thermasorb can also be threats to it, obviously. In many cases, a pokemon with good special bulk that can also hit it decently hard on the special side such as Fire Blast Clavelye or Flamethrower Resonake should match up well against it. However, Calm Mind sets are always a threat so keep options like Haze or Whirlwind ready. Overall, Sci-Fly is a decent defensive option and a dangerous offensive threat due to its many tools.

Pokémon: Hawsler (Hawk + Besler Steam Plane)
Abilities: Steam Engine / (Heavy Metal)
Typing:
Base Stats: 89 HP / 90 Atk / 110 Def / 85 SpA / 95 SpD / 51 Spe
Moves:
Description: Hawsler would work as a mixed (but mostly physical) wall. It also has decent attacking stats that could potentially help support teams. It works well utilizing moves like Roost, Spikes, U-Turn, Defog, Body Press, etc. Its ability Steam Engine gives it potential to punish opposing fire coverage and Water-type moves. Heavy Metal, on the other hand, would make Heavy Slam and Heat Crash more reliable moves. It also has a range of coverage options that can widen its scope of use.
Hawsler is based on the concept of biomimicry. Biomimicry can be defined as the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes. A common example of biomimicry with planes happen when engineers design aircrafts that are inspired by birds and sharks to make them lighter and more fuel efficient. I thought this would be an interesting way to conceptualize a Steel/Flying-type bird. I wanted to combine this concept with the ability Steam Engine, so I also based it on the Besler Steam Plane. The Besler Steam Plane is commonly known as the first plane with a steam engine to achieve full sustained flight. In general, a steam engine powered hawk/plane is what I was planning on for the concept of Hawsler.
Pokémon: Slashowa (Slash + Show + Boa)
Abilities: Soundproof / Technician / Punk Rock
Typing:
Base Stats: 70 HP / 55 Atk / 70 Def / 115 SpA / 65 SpD / 115 Spe
Moves:
Description: Slashowa would work as a fast special wallbreaker and setup sweeper. It could potentially set up with Calm Mind, or use Choice Specs to add on to its wall breaking potential. With Punk Rock, Hyper Voice become a much better move without drawbacks other than the fact that it doesn’t have a very good offensive typing. It also gets access to Fiery Wrath which would essentially just work as a slightly stronger Dark Pulse. While Slashowa only has an decent special attacking stat, its abilities and movepool options help make it a stronger wallbreaker.
Slashowa is based on Slash (Saul Hudson) who is the lead guitarist of the band Guns N’ Roses! Slash is also known for loving reptiles and has been keeping snakes since the age of 11, so that's what Slashowa’s design would be based on. I chose to go down this route to sort of continue the theme behind Obstagoon (as Obstagoon has a very similar appearance to Gene Simmons from Kiss). Obstagoon and Slashowa would be rivals in the Pokémon world.

This is too bulky overall for something with reliable recovery. I would recommend lowering its overall bulk or make one of its defensive stat a lot lower than the other. (Sidenote from Mossy specifically, when making Ultra Beasts, you shouldn't minmax at all unless it has a bad typing. In this case, I would have given it a good attack stat even if it won't use it because 570 BST is a lot to work with if it includes minmaxing.)
This is mostly fine, but you should lower its speed by around 10 points, its a bit too fast for a pokemon with Strong Jaw+Stab Crunch.
If you want to keep Sheer Force balanced, you should lower its spatk by 15-20 points. Furthermore, I think you should either remove Calm Mind or lower its physical bulk, since its type is perfectly suited for a Calm Mind sweeper and its stats are too optimized for that role.
Similar to Dilasc's submission, this has a bit too much physical bulk to be balanced with Calm Mind. It also seems to have too much utility between U-Turn, Knock Off, Spikes, Toxic, Wisp, Defog, Taunt and every form of setup. I'd recommend toning these options down a bit.

This is too bulky and powerful for its speed tier and coverage. For reference, Skappa is a very dangerous special attacker in this format with similar coverage and offensive stats but no damage boosting abilities and far lower bulk (60/75/70). I would recommend lowering its bulk by quite a bit as well as its speed by a small amount, though you could also go for a slower bulkier approach which would be fine too.
