Abilities: Soul-Heart
Stats: 80 / 95 / 115 / 110 / 115 / 85
Movepool Changes: -Shift Gear, -Agility
Description: Special moxie is cool and whatever but what if magearna straight up absorbs its party members for its own benefit? I don't know that has nothing to do with its lore but this is the idea I went with. Basically depending on how you set it up, whether you want it to be disgustingly fast with specs or disgustingly strong with scarf or disgustingly bulky with TR its up to you. As long as you're willing to kill off your team but before you do that just sign here... here... no ignore that part.. annnnd here. great! now I won't face any consequences for telling you to purposely throw the match!
This Pokémon's highest stat is raised 1 stage for every fainted pokemon in its party.

Abilities: Soul-Heart
Name: Soul-Heart
Effects (& Description): This Pokemon's Special Attack is 1.5x. Stats: 115 / 85 / 115 / 85 / 115 / 85 [BST: 600]

Demon Robot
List of Changes: Ability, Stats, Movepool (basically everything because it sucks)
Type: unchanged
Ability: Soul-Heart
Stats: 80 / 100 / 115 / 125 / 115 / 65
Movepool: -Calm Mind, -Agility, -Ice Beam, -Stored Power, -Draining Kiss (Robots can't kiss), +Shadow Punch
Soul-Heart - this Pokemon can't have it's stats lowered in any way, including self lowering.
Fleur Cannon - Physical and lowers Att instead of SpA
Description: Demon Robot gets smashed with a nerfed ability, nerfed stat spread, & a nerfed movepool. Although it still can run some good sets like vest, specs, scarf, orb, and now band! I mainly got rid of kisspower and a slight nerf to other sets, although it is still a great typing, a good movepool, and a good ability that works well with it's sig move.
While I have time
Pokémon: Cinderace
Types:![]()
Abilities: Libero (Bounces back ballistic and bullet moves)
Stats: unchanged
Movepool Changes: unchanged
Description: Cinderace looses its destructive power for a bit for defensive utility, with its new Libero ability. It might seem unimpressive, but it has some great uses. For example, it checks Sun Venusaur, since it bounces back both Weather Ball and Sludge Bomb and tank a Giga Drain. Furthermore, offensive Gengar variants (both forms) struggle with it when they have Sludge Bomb over Sludge Wave, since Cinderace bounces back all of Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball and Focus Blast. Other moves that can be bounced back are Rock Blast, Energy Ball and Aura Sphere.
Pokémon: Cinderace
Type:![]()
Abilities: Blaze | Libero
Stats: unchanged
Movepool Changes: + Will-o-Wisp
Description: I thought it'd be interesting if Cinderace actually DID ITS JOB, get in there and send the ball the other way instead of smashing everything to bits jesus christ. Seriously who thought this pokemon was actually balanced? I mean it can be but nah we don't like balance in gen 8 sorry
So basically cinderace can counter Spectrier, it nukes gengar, it stops weather ball abusers from kicking its rear when it sends itself in and Cinderace have to prepare for other Cinderace. yep that's right you actually have to play the game against other cinderace this time. Oh there's also Mega Blastoise if it runs Water Pulse or Aura Sphere despite losing Mega Launcher, but pulse gets boosted by technician and Tyranitar's Rock blast sometimes...
When this pokemon is switched in, if they are hit by a ballistic move, they will take no damage and bounce the move back. (switch-in only)
Notable Ballistic Moves Pyro Ball
Weather Ball
Gyro Ball
Rock Blast
Aura Sphere
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Pokémon: Cinderace
Types:![]()
Abilities: Blaze | Libero (HA)
Name: Libero
Effects (& Description): This Pokemon receives 1/2 damage from ballistic (ball, blast ,bomb) moves. Its own have 1.3x power. Stats: 80 / 96 / 75 / 85 / 75 / 119 [BST: 530]
Movepool Changes: + Seed Bomb, Sludge Bomb
Description: A mixed attacker with ballistic Punk Rock clone Ability helps it takes less damage, increase its survivability by a bit I guess, but the real thing is the 1.3x boosted Pyro Ball, but probably better run special set because of there's more moves boosted by Libero and it still has Fire Blast, a Fire type Libero boosted move on special side.
Mossy Rabbit
List of changes: ability, movepool
Type: Fire
Abilities: Blaze (H: Libero)
Stats: unchanged
Movepool: -High Jump Kick, -Gunk Shot, -Flare Blitz, +Will-O-Wisp
Libero - Before taking any direct damage, this Pokemon turns into a type that resists that move. (Never immunities)
Pyro Ball - 90 Bp, 100 acc, 16 pp, has a 30% chance to remove the target's item.
Description: The definition to libero is "the rearmost, roaming defensive player in volleyball or soccer" so why is libero an offensive ability? Loosing on its main offensive power with hjk, stab on every move, flare blitz, weakened pyro ball, & gunk. In return it's ability makes it great defensively and it gets some more defensive options in Will-O-Wisp. Bulk Up sets still work but you won't be getting stab very often.
Types: Fire/Fighting
Abilities: Blaze / Libero
Stats: 62/ 116 / 70 / 95 / 70 / 117 (BST: 530) (-18 hp, -5 def, +30 spatk, -5 spdef, -2 speed)
Movepool Changes: -U-turn, -Gunk Shot, -Sucker Punch, +thunder punch +Pursuit, +Ice Beam
Individual changes: Libero: changes type only after the move is used. Pyro Ball - 80% acc, high critical rate, no longer chances to burn Court Change - has -6 priority, fails if the user is hit beforehand
Tried nerfing Cinder's strongest aspects, while still keeping him interesting: libero is now more balance, with it not giving free stab on all moves, while still offering both offensive and defensive utility. Pyro Ball's strenght is balanced with lower acc, but now it offers higher crit rate, so cinder has a reason to not just run flare blitz instead. I liked the idea of court change, so I was determined to keep it simillar - now cinderace simply has to get a safe turn to do the move in order for it to work, meaning it can be stopped by the opposing team and even end up killing cinder if misplayed. His nerfed bulk went to make his special attack a bit higher, in order for it to abuse shadow ball, scorching sands and even the new ice beam if it wants to, running lo more viably. It loses u-turn, gunk shot and sucker punch, all of which serves as useful move, but is now compensated by tpunch, pursuit physically, which offer new options for it to run. it still has solid stabs and unchanged coverage, and getting the secondary fighting type means he's no longer weak to sr. FInally, the nerfed speed being minor means it isn't significantly slower, but now speed ties with blacephalon, and is outspeed by kartana, keldeo.

Pokémon: Pheromosa
Types:![]()
![]()
Abilities: Beast Boost
Stats: 91 / 117 / 67 / 117 / 67 / 121
Movepool Changes: -Triple Axel, Blizzard, Quiver Dance
Description: At first I wanted to go for a special-buzzwole variant that was speedy and offensive but I couldn't figure out a balanced spread that wouldn't break this thing more than it already is broken. So now it just can't hit flying types but its still pretty speedy and can hit hard. It can actually take a hit this time too
Pokémon: Pheromosa
Types:![]()
![]()
Abilities: Beast Boost
Stats: 71 / 107 / 89 / 107 / 89 / 107 [BST: 570]
Movepool Changes: -
Description: Just toned down its stats (and keep all primes). I mean what else do Pheromosa even need to be in OU peacefully.Probably deleting QD, but I don't think something with that bulk and typing gonna use QD viably.
Goth Roach Thing
List of changes: Stats, Type, Movepool
Type: Bug (why was this fighting in the first place besides Buzzwole also being fighting)
Ability: Beast Boost
Stats: 71 / 131 / 43 / 131 / 43 / 151
Movepool: -Close Combat, -Triple Axel, -Ice Beam, -Drill Run
Description: Without fighting stab, hjk hits a lot less hard. Without drill run or ice coverage (besides blizzard) and a nerfed stat spread, this mon is countered by more pokemon than before.
