★ Pet Mods Halloween Calendar (Prompt 8)

[gastrodoniscool93]

Thanks for pointing this out and yes, the core idea of it is to be hard coded to have 3 HP similar to Shedinja's 1 HP. And the plan for the set is for it to have no items to prevent allowing it to have Leftovers. This mon is mostly for the actual randomized format and less so for the team building format. It's a very gimmicky mon who's only purpose is to maybe throw a Toxic down on a problematic mon, perhaps throw out some rocks or mess woth an ability, and die. I based it similar to the purpose of Pyukumuku, so you could see it as Pyuk and Shedinja's child basically.

you could itemlock it to an item that does nothing

Explanation: In Brazil, the Saci Day is commemorated on october 31st as a way to promote the national folklore while opposing the "American-influenced" Halloween.

Saci

The Saci (also known as Saci-Pererê) is probably the most well-known character of brazilian folklore. He is a one-legged black boy, with holes on both his palms, who is commonly represented holding a pipe and has a magical red cap, which allows him to summon whirlwinds to move around quickly. He is a prankster who does all sorts of household annoyances or makes travellers get lost in the woods. Additionally, it is said that during the first 7 years of his life, the Saci grows inside of a bamboo plant. Saci also apparently is one of the inspirations for

Origin: Deltarune
Type: ???
Stats: 100/100/100/100/100/100 (BST: 600)
Abilities: MOVE SURVEY (This Pokemon gains the typing of the first two moves in its moveset. If it doesn't have any moves, it remains typeless. This ability cannot be silenced or removed by any means. Memories or Plates held by this Pokemon cannot be knocked off.)

Flavor: Deltarune's anniversary is on Halloween! It's a celebration to me, so I'm subbing the Vessel. The Vessel is quite literally a blank slate that you, the player, are set to inhabit. This is reflected in the sense that you shape this Pokemon to suit your team through the ability and versatile movepool.

Competitive Role: The Vessel can serve as a strong glue Pokemon on many teams, due to it literally being extremely malleable. It has access to Stealth Rock, Status, and strong 120 BP options in Plate boosted Judgment and Multi-Attack. The Vessel is designed to function similarly to Arceus in Ubers, you can mold it to suit your team however you see fit! Unlike Arceus, the Vessel has a good amount of shortcomings. Firstly, they have no set up moves outside of Work Up, and secondly they do not have access to any reliable healing moves. It can play offensively with its powerful coverage, or play defensively with access to options such as Will-O-Wisp, Toxic, and Thunder Wave. Overall, the Vessel can be anything you want it to be! It has a load of versatility and should serve as an effective and malleable Pokemon for any team.

'Boom.'

“I'm not a human or a devil. I'm just a bomb.”​

• Mega Evolution: "Upon pulling the Grenade Pin from my neck, I will unleash my full power as the Bomb Devil, one of the strongest and most feared devils in existence. This form comes with a custom ability I've both created for and named after it, enabling my explosive moves to wreak more destruction than ever before! In addition to this, my primary type will change to Steel upon transforming, and my stat distribution will be brought significantly closer to a jack-of-all-stats in build. Aside from my offenses and Speed each gaining a ten-point boost, my defensive stats also see significant improvement, though my weakness to Ground-type attacks will also be more prominent - perhaps in compensation for how formidable I'll have become in both long- and close-range combat."
  • Type:
    
    
  • Ability: Bomb Devil - Boosts the power of the Pokémon's ball and bomb moves* by 50%.
  • Stats: 85 HP/110 Atk/95 Def/110 SpA/95 SpD/115 Spe = 610

* If this sub wins, petition to have Fire Blast and Flash Cannon both be classed as ball and bomb moves for this mod's metagame.

Reasoning:

"For those wondering what I have to do with the prompt I'm submitting this application for, I'll let you in on a little secret... I'm not actually a friendly coffee shop employee like you might assume, but a Russian soldier specialized in espionage. As it happens, Russia has not one, but two public holidays in October that are associated with the military: Ground Forces Day on October 1, and the Day of Special Forces of the Armed Forces on October 24. Hopefully this little bit of trivia would be a good enough reason for my audition to be accepted for the prompt! As for my actual justifications, the scope of my... actions... while in service should be more than enough to justify the Dark type - that, and the fact that I have been fused with the Bomb Devil that is the basis for my 'Mega Evolution' and its custom ability of the same name. By extension, I believe my association with violent explosions would make Fire an obvious choice for my secondary type, don't you agree? Being a member of my country's army also justified Steel as the primary typing for my Bomb Devil self, which is themed around wartime ordinance and uses plenty of torpedoes, missiles, mortar shells, and more. My movepool in turn reflects this by way of pulling from both Foretress and Turtonator, with a wide variety of ball and bomb moves to which my Bomb Devil ability will grant additional destructive force - honestly, I was pretty tempted to just go with Bulletproof, but that is more for protection against such moves, while I fancy myself as being more focused on offense than defense, especially in my base 'form'.

"On the topic of abilities, each of the standard ones I chose is also reflective of my power set in canon. Regenerator refers to my ability to heal from virtually any injury, even detonating myself entirely, as long as I have consumed any blood that's been spilled, which also explains the addition of several HP-draining attacks to my movepool. This was also my lore reason for giving myself Flash Fire, though I mainly included it to give myself a usable ability for my Nasty Plot set, as befitting someone of my true occupation. As for Aftermath... well, I don't think that one needs any explanation whatsoever, even if it would probably be the least useful of the three due to only going off upon my demise! I could've used Innards Out instead due to its effect being similar, but I figured leaving my killer with a flat one-fourth less of their maximum HP would be marginally less situational."

Competitive Info:

"Dark/Fire is a very useful typing for all sorts of purposes thanks to its excellent defensive profile as well as its nigh-unstoppable attack spread, and it's a bit of a shame that it's present on only three fully evolved Pokémon in canon. Furthermore, all of these are offensive specialists with utility as a bit of a sideshow - and they each also seem to prefer either physical or special attacks, but not both. My build is somewhat more utility-focused than any of them, in no small part thanks to Regenerator, though with equally high Attack and Special Attack as well as above-average Speed, if push comes to shove, I can certainly serve as a very dangerous mixed sweeper/wallbreaker hybrid as well. When it comes to support options, I'm actually quite spoiled for choice, with Recover, Taunt, Strength Sap, Parting Shot, Iron Defense, Will-O-Wisp, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Protect, and Substitute all having their own uses, so it'd really depend on what specific needs haven't already been filled by someone else. Parting Shot in particular allows me to double as an offensive utility pivot, and the stat drops it can saddle my opponent with will only add to the chaos I'll be leaving behind upon retreating. Should battle be inevitable, however, I will not hesitate to make use of both my hard-hitting STAB moves, including Dark Pulse, Night Slash, Fire Blast, and Flare Blitz among others, and a staggering variety of coverage options thanks to my trademark detonations kicking up debris of just about every make you can think of. Seed Bomb, Focus Blast, Rock Blast, Mud Bomb, Shadow Ball, Dragon Pulse... The possibilities are endless, really! And that's not getting into my more standard knifework such as Psycho Cut, Drill Run, and even Razor Shell - which I included in my movepool as a play on the military term 'shell' for projectiles that detonate, and which will hopefully give any potential Rock- and Ground-type checks at least a few second thoughts. Setup options I can work with include Swords Dance, Nasty Plot, and Agility for Life Orb sets, but Victory Dance is also worth mentioning because it increases my Speed as well as my Attack and Defense for extra measure. A pity Quiver Dance wasn't very fitting in terms of flavor, but I guess you can't win them all...

"As for my Bomb Devil form, it does offer significantly improved resilience in terms of both type advantages and my stats proper, but this is not without its price. Steel does not actually synergize with Fire offensively as well as Dark does, the main reason being their combined ability, or lack thereof, to reliably hit either Water-types or other Fire-types, which means I'll have to rely on two different coverage moves at once just to deal with them, or otherwise pick my poison so to speak. The tradeoff, of course, is that my defensive profile is much, much better - even a double-weakness to Ground is a small price to pay for the highest number of double-resistances of any possible type combination! Granted, my defensive stats might only be about average, but while I'm not exactly a jack-of-all-stats as the Bomb Devil, I do come reasonably close for such an offensive juggernaut, though role-wise I see this form as more of a mixed utility wallbreaker and cleaner than anything else. All of my previously mentioned utility options still apply, but in exchange for my Dark STAB I can instead make use of Steel STAB like Iron Head and Bullet Punch... to say nothing of the damage buff to a lot of my explosive attacks, particularly my STABs such as Magnet Bomb, Pyro Ball, and possibly Fire Blast and Flash Cannon, along with the coverage options I listed previously, all of which incidentally are ball and bomb moves. Seed Bomb and Energy Ball in particular allow me to easily dispatch three of the four types my devil self is weak to, but that leaves me with a blind spot to Fighting that could've been handled by Shadow Ball. Notably, my increased defensive stats also give me more freedom to make use of Shell Smash which, on top of being another fun little wordplay on explosive shells, will make me increasingly quicker and deadlier at the cost of my defenses, though a more specialized setup move that doesn't carry this risk can work just as well. All in all, I'd say my versatility and unpredictability would be my greatest strengths as the Bomb Devil as much as my base form, with an answer for almost any given requirement or situation - with or without all the literal firepower I could dream of. You could say I'm a total bombshell in more ways than one!

"From what intel I've gathered, it seems Crossover Chaos Expanded Returns might be re-opening auditions for the start of its second season fairly soon, although the code for its first wave of winning competitors is still being worked on and additional playtesting may be required to decide what kind of roles will still be needed. As such, I don't feel confident in applying for CCER proper just yet, but that may change in the future should a need arise for someone like me - granted, I don't believe it'd be very difficult to find such an opportunity. Until then, I wouldn't mind taking part in this micrometa for the time being, although that of course will depend on whether the community is willing to allow it. I'll leave that decision to the voters' discretion, but should they make the right call... this year's Halloween calendar lineup will have no idea what's coming."

"Seeing as this mod's submission requirements include sample movesets for the randomizer, I might as well provide them, too. One particular issue I should probably mention is that I'm not a fan of entry hazards and don't have any way to clear them, allowing chip damage from Stealth Rock or even Spikes to wear me down eventually. I bring this up now because if I were to run Regenerator, I wouldn't be caught dead without Heavy-Duty Boots on, so as to give me more breathing room to make my rounds as a Parting Shot pivot and hazard setter. I unfortunately don't have any way to force anyone into any Spikes or Stealth Rocks I've set up, but that's what bringing in a teammate who can do that is for. The other support options I've previously listed can be used with near impunity thanks to Regenerator, but Recover in particular is noteworthy because using it right after Regenerator kicks in would allow me to restore nearly all of my HP in a single turn, allowing me to become damn near impossible to kill with the right EV investment! Offensive moves I can run to avoid being shut down by Taunt include Shell Trap to punish unwary melee combatants, Fire Spin as a trapping move so whomever I tag in can secure their own kills more easily, Foul Play to catch equally strong attackers off guard, and Night Daze to throw off my opponents' aim. Oh, and I should also mention that this set can work just as well with my Bomb Devil form, though in this case I'd have to substitute my Dark STAB with Flash Cannon... though to be fair, it has its own use in the form of weakening even potential checks and counters with its Special Defense drop, which will hopefully allow other special attackers to pick them off more freely."

- Energy Ball/Seed Bomb/Focus Blast/Close Combat/Stone Edge/Mud Bomb/Razor Shell/Shadow Ball/Psycho Cut/Parting Shot/Substitute​

"I've already discussed my base form's offensive strengths and setup options at length in my main competitive info write-up, so I don't believe I'll need to repeat all of that here. Instead, what I'd like to highlight is my suggested items, abilities, and potential teammates. Choice items are a solid option for forgoing a setup move altogether, allowing me to load up two STABs of choice and two coverage options - preferably Grass coverage and Shadow Ball - so I can counter every single type that would otherwise hit me super-effectively. Alternatively, Life Orb sets can work just as well, but I'd have to risk a hard switch if I'm not running Parting Shot, whereas running that move would cost me one of my coverage types... not the easiest choice, but Parting Shot works so excellently with Regenerator that I'm sure I can make it work somehow! For special sets specifically, Flash Fire allows me to switch into Fire coverage as well as Fire-type attackers, giving me some welcome indirect setup even before hatching my first Nasty Plot of the game. And then there's Aftermath which, while thematically apropos, would only be useful for punishing whomever manages to finally dispatch me - not exactly the best option, but I bet it can still make a difference for my team as a whole in the right situation. With very few type combinations that resist both of my STABs, I can also afford to run Substitute and avoid being incapacitated by status, but since I'll have to cut off one of my own limbs to make the Substitute, I'd basically be fighting either one-handed or one-legged for the rest of the match if I'm not running Regenerator! As such, clerics to keep me healthy, hazard setters to wear down my foes faster, pivots to bring me in safely, and/or defensive walls who can shield me from at least a few of my type weaknesses would all be useful for helping me maintain my offensive momentum. And in exchange, I'm sure anyone who'd struggle against at least one of the six types my STABs are strong against would appreciate some much-needed cover fire, so to speak."

- Shell Smash​

- Pyro Ball/Fire Blast/Flare Blitz​

- Magnet Bomb/Iron Head/Bullet Punch/Flash Cannon​

- Energy Ball/Seed Bomb/Rock Blast/Mud Bomb/Razor Shell/Shadow Ball/Psycho Cut​

"Finally, my offensive 'Mega Evolution' set hinges on the inability of my opponents to predict what the Bomb Devil will do next, especially since Shell Smash grants a one-stage multiplier to both of my offensive stats at once as well as my Speed. It is this which would be my go-to setup move for this reason - all the better to play along with the mind games this set can induce! Only some of my STABs, such as Pyro Ball and Magnet Bomb, will receive additional power, but given Shell Smash's stat boosts, I don't consider my custom ability to be a significant strategic game-changer, at least not as much as the changes to my stats. STABs aside, a number of my coverage options are also buffed by my power as the Bomb Devil, with Energy Ball and Seed Bomb in particular being able to counter Water- and especially Ground-types that might otherwise pose a significant threat. Aside from those two, Rock Blast, Mud Bomb, and Razor Shell all cover for Fire-types that might otherwise wall me, and Shadow Ball and Psycho Cut will obliterate any Fighting-type checks my STABs can't handle on their own. Overall, there is plenty of room for my devil self to experiment, and whether I decide to go for a purely physical version of this set, a purely special one, or a mix-and-match of either styles would really be dependent on the randomizer - and my own personal preference, of course! Granted, every choice I make will come with a cost in some form, but I'm sure the right selection of teammates can cover for remaining vulnerabilities, missing strategic roles, or any other call on my part for assistance from others."

[Falchion]

PROMPT 10: Paldean Pyroar

• Stats: 86 HP/68 Atk/51 Def/114 SpA/92 SpD/96 Spe = 507
• Type:
• Abilities: Quick Feet, Unnerve, Aroma Veil (Hidden Ability)
• New Moves: Alluring Voice, Calm Mind, Charm, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Earth Power, Energy Ball, Misty Terrain, Play Rough

Flavor:

"It secretes a sweet, confectionery-like substance from its striped fur that's popular for baking. The fragrant smoke it exhales charms and calms prey and enemies alike."
"It marks its territory with the enticing scent it breathes from its mouth. The Pokémon it considers prey find it irresistible, but Dragon-types are repulsed by it instead."

This entry is repurposed from the now-complete Breeding Variants mod (and was one of the few subs I entered). Both an homage to the sweet-scented "panther" of medieval bestiaries and a visual pun on tiger bread, it also bears some design elements from heraldic lions and in general has a sort of birthday cake-like theme; both males and females have smaller manes than Kalosian Pyroar. Said to have been the result of Pyroar breeding with Dachsbun, it also has sugary properties to its skin secretions, particularly in its mane which now resembles a great frothy dollop of whipped cream or frosting, along with a striped, birthday candle-like tail to go with the patterns on its orange-brown fur that resemble the crack-like patterning on the crust of tiger bread.

Defensively speaking, this variant outclasses its Kalosian cousin by a staggering margin, being weak to only four types (Poison, Ground, Rock, and Water), while making up for it with seven resistances (Fighting, Fire, Grass, Ice, Dark, Fairy, and Bug) and an immunity to Dragon-type moves. Its double-resistance to Bug means it's a solid answer to U-Turn, and on the offensive front it adds Dazzling Gleam to its STAB options for broader coverage of at least neutral damage. Aroma Veil is a supportive ability but also keeps it safe from Taunt, and combined with its higher physical Defense, this gives it more switch-ins to take advantage of, though care must be taken to keep opponents from capitalizing on its abysmal physical defense, in an inverse compared to regular Pyroar. Quick Feet is useful for baiting status abusers so it can patch up its mediocre Speed stat and start sweeping without having to worry about outrunning its competition. Additional Grass- and Ground-type coverage options, Calm Mind, and minmaxed Special Attack round out its new and improved kit, really leaning into its intended role as a potent special sweeper despite not being as tough as it looks, though whether or not this would be an equal if not better choice for Toasted Lion DLC than Mega Pyroar is an exercise for the reader.

Sample moveset: Calm Mind Sweeper
Pyroar (Paldea) @ Heavy-Duty Boots or Toxic Orb
Ability: Quick Feet or Aroma Veil
Nature: Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
4 Atk/252 SpA/252 Spe

- Calm Mind​

- Flamethrower/Fire Blast​

- Alluring Voice/Dazzling Gleam/Draining Kiss​

- Solar Beam/Energy Ball/Earth Power/Scorching Sands​

Literally just Pyroar's standard moveset but with the addition of Calm Mind and with the Normal STAB replaced by Fairy. Alluring Voice and Dazzling Gleam would be very scary indeed after a few Calm Mind boosts, but Draining Kiss is a fun new alternate option that it can use to both recover HP and maul anything Fairy-weak at the same time, and can work well with a Quick Feet/Toxic Orb set so it'll have an easier time literally getting up to speed. Energy Ball was added as a side-grade to Solar Beam so its coverage against three of its four type weaknesses won't be as dependent on harsh sunlight, but Earth Power and Scorching Sands are just as useful to deter Poison-types, the latter making up for its weaker power with its potential burn status.

(I had another CCER-style entry planned, but I felt this one fit the prompt theme much better and was faster to convert anyway. Hopefully the next prompt will give one of my favorite anime characters that I haven't yet done a sub for her own chance to shine!)

May I still be able of correcting it or is it too late?

Goofy art—not my favorite but I don't hate them too much. Here's Prompt 10: Wrapwatt!

Name: Wrapwatt

Important Moves: Thunderbolt, Thunder Cage, Thunderclap, Volt Switch, Electroweb, Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb, Hex, Thunder Wave, Acid Armor, Baneful Bunker, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Destiny Bond, Taunt, Memento, Aromatherapy, Agility, Trick, Pain Split, Helping Hand, Refresh, Universal moves (Protect, Rest, etc.)

Pokédex Entries:

• Senescent Red: Be careful of the expired candy found within Wrapwatt—it's incredibly toxic and electrically charged!
• Forever Green: Wrapwatt love wrapping themselves around trainers they love. They'll cling to you with static electricity!

Random Battles Sets

Fast Support (Wrapwatt) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Wrap-Up
- Thunder Cage
- Sludge Bomb
- Toxic
- Baneful Bunker

Black Sludge can be exchanged for Leftovers if the format ends up having terastalization as a mechanic.

PLEASE READ: Description / Justification

Wrapwatt is a combination of expired candy and those annoying candy wrappers that cling to you with static electricity. You probably shouldn't give such a Pokémon out to Trick-or-Treaters, but I'd imagine that prior to being expired and electrified they'd make a great Trick-or-Treat gift.

The signature ability Wrap-Up gives Wrapwatt an interesting dynamic where a large portion of their damage will come from chip. Thunder Cage does high damage initially, but over time the chip is likely to do more than the initial hit. Pair this with Baneful Bunker which can provides free turns and additionally spreads poison, and Wrapwatt can wear down foes with ease. Of course, Wrapwatt can opt to use Toxic instead for guaranteed poison that gets stronger as time goes on—this pairs well with Thunder Cage's trapping. Taunt is a viable option in the builder format for those willing to drop Baneful Bunker or Toxic. There are many other options too like Aromatherapy, Thunderclap, and Volt Switch. With heavy chip damage and trapping capabilities, Wrapwatt will be a shocking addition to the format!

Thank you for taking the time to read, and don't forget to vote for Wrapwatt if you like them and think they'd improve the format!

Name: Arachnaring
Type: Bug/Fighting
Stats: 100/135/110/45/80/70 BST: 540
Abilities: Swarm, Technician, Ring Trap: This Pokemon’s moves apply the Ring Target effect to the target prior to the attack/status move landing. This effect persists until the target switches out, even if the user switches out.
Important Moves: Leech Life, Lunge, Bug Bite, Fell Stinger, Brick Break, Close Combat, Counter, Drain Punch, Hammer Arm, Superpower, Power-Up Punch, Mach Punch, Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Bulk Up, Octolock, Darkest Lariat, Earthquake, Ice Punch, Iron Head, Outrage, Poison Jab, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Thunder Punch, Taunt, Toxic

Randbats Sets

Bulky Pivot (Arachnaring) @ Heavy-Duty Boots/ Leftovers
Ability: Ring Trap

• Close Combat
• Leech Life/ Lunge
• Poison Jab/ Earthquake/ Toxic
• U-turn

Bulky Setup (Arachnaring) @ Leftovers/ Life Orb
Ability: Ring Trap/ Technician

• Close Combat
• Leech Life/ Bug Bite
• Mach Punch/ Poison Jab/ Earthquake
• Bulk Up

Design Analysis: Arachnaring is based on the plastic spider rings given out during Halloween. They latch onto opponents with there rings to drain the energy out of them.

Competitive Analysis: Arachnaring is a strong pivot with a high 135 base attack and low enough 70 speed to still be a slow pivot. Its ability Ring Trap has a lot of strong use cases like being able to hit ghost types with its fighting type attacks, poison steel and poison types with toxic, hit flying types with earthquake, and U-turn on certain Pokémon to get a teammate in that doesn't have to worry about immunities. This can form a powerful combo with Volt Switch Pokémon as Arachnaring can U-turn on ground types allowing the Volt Switch Pokemon to pivot freely without worrying about grounds.

Reasoning

The reason i went with an opal for prompt nine is because opals happen to be the birthstone for october, so the non halloween event is every october birthday, amd to those reading this who are born in October, Hopal will bestow hope onto you
