:pumpkaboo: :sableye: :mismagius: Pet Mods Halloween Calendar :dusknoir: :mimikyu: :phantump:
The Pet Mods Calendar is back! And this year, it's feeling spooky.
During this event, we create a brand new metagame. Users will submit Fakemons based on 15 prompts, one every other day. So, the first prompt is revealed on October 1st, then October 3rd, October 5th, etc. Then, people will be able to submit their Fakemons for two days. After two days, submissions close and voting opens (indicated by a post in this thread).
On the last day of the month, on Halloween, the winning Pokemon are revealed: the two Pokemon that got the most votes per set. Furthermore, the person who had the most submissions make it into the metagame wins a custom avatar prize on PS! (With the # of votes received being the tiebreaker, if need be.)
This year, we will also create a Random Battles-based variant of the format, along with the Teambuilder-based one.

Frequently Asked Questions
May I submit a (modified) existing Pokemon for the event? /// Yes, but beware of other people who submitted the same Pokemon.
May I submit a new (pre-)evolution for an existing Pokemon? /// Yes, just specify which (and the evolution methods maybe!)
Do I need to provide a full, realistic movepool? /// No, it is fine as long as you provide the competitively relevant moves for your Pokemon.
May I design custom elements (moves, abilities, etc.) for my submissions? /// You may design at most one custom element per submission.
Can I submit multiple Pokemon per prompt? /// No, you should try to submit your best idea for each prompt!
Can I vote multiple times? /// No, you will be asked to provide your Smogon username when voting.
Can I vote for myself? /// Yes, as long as you also vote for other submissions.
Can I rig the vote? /// No, suspicious votes will be removed and you may be disqualified if foul play is suspected.
Can I use Z-Crystals in my submission? /// You may submit a set with a custom Z-Crystal as its custom element. However, the metagame will be based on Gen 9.
Can I have AI generate my submissions? /// No.
