Weight: 200 kg
Explanation of Role: Wall with an interesting defensive profile lacking reliable recovery, or a set up sweeper with either CM or SD. Can beat Lindwallow only after it is weakened and with setup, otherwise takes a good chunk from Natural Cure sets and hates getting poisoned, or gets 2HKO-d by Sheer Force even with max SpDef.

Pokemon: Rulkhion (Rukh + Falchion)
Type:

Abilities: Merciless / Unburden
Stats: 80/92/65/60/100/110 (507)
Viable Moves:

: Mighty Cleave, Rock Blast, U-turn, Drill Peck, Fly, Double-Edge, Temper Flare

: Heat Wave, Ancient Power, Air Slash

: Pain Split, Substitute, Protect, Stealth Rock
Full Movepool: WIP (no Rest or other setup moves)
Flavor (Optional): Mix between a Roc and a Stymphalian bird, with wings made out of chocolate chips stone blades.
Weight: 70kg.
Explanation of Role: The base idea is to introduce a Rhydon equivalent for this tier's Snorlax. Rulkhion's primary role is a specially bulky offensive pivot meant to serve as a temporary Ground immunity, taking around 25% from Fire Blast and less to Sludge Bomb, but gets chunked really hard by Power Gem/Ancient Power (60%) and Dragon Darts (80%).
All these resistances are balanced by a lack of reliable recovery (needing to find good angles to click Pain Split) and being forced into Heavy-Duty-Boots. Rulkhion also doesn't have enough power to force out the sovereign (Dual Wingbeat does 30-36% on Adamant vs offensive sets), relying instead on U-turn to chip them.

Rulkhion is also meant a fast option for revenge killing or cleaning the game, having access to a good Rock STAB in Mighty Cleave and being able to hit steels with Temper Flare. Both of these attacks are resisted by Lindwallow.

Merciless is meant to synergise with Lindwallow's poison spreading to help Rulkhion have an easier time cleaning (it may be broken if we get a Toxic Spikes user in the future.). Unburden allows it to work more as a HO sweeper, but I did not give it any boosting moves to force it to activate it with Sub + a Atk boosting berry : it stills loses the 1v1 vs the Sovereign, dealing min 45.9% with Drill Peck at +1 Adamant vs offensive sets (Acrobatics is omitted from the movepool on purpose) but could be interesting for cores trying to overwhelm the Sovereign.

Pokemon: Reoozeiclus
Type:

/

Abilities: Poison Point / Magic Guard | Regenerator
Stats: 110/65/85/115/85/30 (490)
Movepool: Same as normal reuniclus, just without Ice Punch or Hidden Power and with Acid Spray, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave and Toxic added
Flavor: In the marshy lands where Lindwallow reign, there have been a small population of Reuniclus that were brought there by some of the first human settlers to the area. Due to a lack of easily accessible clean freshwater lakes, they were forced to raise their young in the muddy waters, leading to their liquidous bodies becoming murky and even more toxic than their brethren elsewhere in the world.
Weight: 20.1 kg
Explanation of Role: Slow and bulky special attacker that can spread poison against physical attackers, except for Lindwallow themself who will mostly be running non-contact moves even if it isn't using natural cure. Charm sets could act as a pseudo check to choiced Lindwallow sets, but one bad read from the Reuniclus player could make it have to try eating a now super-effective ground move. Also I just really like Reuniclus so I wanted to sub it.
Appearance: Same as normal reuniclus, just slightly more brown
