pecha nerd Poison Ghost Prankster Parting Shot StarPiranhaPlant: Psychic Fangs -> Hyper Fang Due to base form getting access to Psychic Fangs and Crunch, SPP getting access to STAB that gets the Strong Jaw buff is pretty powerful.
Cyaneedle: Serene Grace -> Magic Guard. Twineedle -> Rapid Spin Yeah, Twineedle was bad. Now can play as a Spinner that can also throw out Flare Blitz without hesitation as well as packing STAB First Impression and U-Turn.
shreyashhy: Intimidate -> Guts. Hone Claws -> Fling Guts mon to help stop the burn issue this format has.
- KeeganSkymin444 (Did not wish to be in the format)
cchang21: Regenerator -> Natural Cure. Teleport -> Wish. Was far too strong of a Regenerator pass with access to wish, slow pivot and great typing.
DragonPheonix333: Volt Switch -> Tailwind U-Turn is everywhere now. Lets him be a Tailwind U-Turn Regen mon, helping with speed control.
bloatationdevice: Shadow Force -> Rage Fist Was just worse ANinjaDude so I gave him a buff.
awesomedude82: + :poison. Grassy Surge -> Effect Spore. Grassy Slide -> Synthesis awesomedude82 suggested this change and now lets them run a better defensive typing while spamming solid moves due to its reliable healing.
Failure toxic: Imposter -> Illusion I thought it was Illusion at first. Imposter Base 100 HP is crazy.
TDLoriat: Spikes -> Spiky Sheild Yeah, I like Spiky Sheild and Spikes are now given to base form.
BubbyTubby: Draining Kiss -> Calm Mind Already learns d kiss so defeats the purpose.
gastrodoniscool93: Storm Drain -> Unaware. Spikes -> Scald Set up stopper, yay!
Falchion: No Guard -> Mold Breaker Yeah, I thought it would help due to the fact that everyone was subbing custom mons and the Falchion pulled up with a Huge Power mon from Demon Slayer.
isAngy: Insomnia -> Electric Surge. Electric Terrain -> Worry Seed Moveset was just SO BAD. Fixed it up a little though is competing with Partiweed.
emikatana: Tachyon Cutter -> Behemoth Blade.

Honestly thanks for the buff, yeah it makes a bit less thematic sense buuuuuuttt i don't care + you still kept the two basic ideas which is really nice, also you put terrain pulse on mine instead of worry seed, there might be more cases of this but i still want to mention it
Congratulations to all the winners! Now that we have the format's roster, as the one who has done all the reviews in the Pet Mods room I thought I'd share my thoughts on all of the winning Pokemon and how I think they will fare when in a non random-battles meta. I will be splitting this into three posts, this first one being Prompts 1 through 4.
Be warned that I might have some choice words about your guys' balancing senses. I do think some of the winners are extremely broken and/or unfun to play against. In other words, if a Pokemon has red text, then I think it needs urgent balancing issues that need to be addressed. Anyways, here we go! If you want to see the full breakdown on a Pokemon just click its name.
I've noticed that there are quite a good amount of Pokemon with 115 Speed, I wonder if that'll be an important benchmark to hit for Scarfers and all that. Anyways, tune in for more reviews later!

In other words, if a Pokemon has red text, then I think it needs urgent balancing issues that need to be addressed. Anyways, here we go! If you want to see the full breakdown on a Pokemon just click its name.
PROMPTS 1-4
1. Seedstrom: Right away, this seems strong, and potentially a little overtuned. I'm not a big fan of Sappy Seed and Strength Sap being put on this guy. Along with an amazing ability in Delta Stream, Storm Swing is also a pretty potent move, and this guy has an amazing Speed stat to top it off. This Pokemon has comparable bulk to Zapdos, but with 115 Speed and Strength Sap. Sappy Seed and Earthquake allow it to pressure Steel types to an incredible degree, and if Z-Moves are legal (I assume they are) then Z-Trick or Treat might be an absolute nuisance in the late game. I personally do not believe that this should have either Sappy Seed or Strength Sap, it just looks like it forces progress at an extreme rate, but perhaps I'm wrong.
2. Gravitart: Being able to set Gravity and Grassy Terrain on switch-in is pretty good. This guy also gets an extremely slow U-Turn for anyone in the back looking to exploit these effects. Pretty decent Pokemon, though the defensive typing leaves a bit to be desired. Despite that, it can still hold its own with Grassy Glide or boosted Grav Apples. I think this guy will find a role on anything that wants to abuse Gravity/Grassy Terrain for a Grassy Seed boost, Earthquake spam (never mind the fact that we have zero Ground types in this dex...), or anything like that.
3. Harvesta: Another pretty honest Pokemon. Its speed tier is pretty good, and Fire Lash is going to force progress one way or another. Its bulk is also pretty solid and it can fire off Will-o-Wisps and Leech Seeds to pressure the opponent. Synthesis lets it sustain itself very well, I like this guy a lot. Though I think it'll struggle into other Fire types due to its lack of coverage.
4. Poltkinspice: Grass/Fire type #2. This guy is gonna compete with Harvesta due to their similar typings, and I think they each fill different niches. This guy notably has coverage to hit enemy Fire types in Waterfall/Wave Crash. Regenerator also lets it pivot around, though it is forced into running Boots, and its bulk guarantees that depending on the side (Def or Sp. Def) you invest in, you will have a weak spot in the other side of your defense. I actually think that this might occasionally run more aggressive sets due to its pretty respectable Attack stat. The lack of a pivot move really hinders this guy's viability though.
5. Foliavite: Really good Grassy Terrain setter, though being naturally fast can hinder its teammate in the back looking to reap the benefits of Grassy Terrain. Intimidate is this guy's real selling point though, the only problem being that it has to watch its pretty poor Special bulk. Grass/Poison is also a strong defensive type, and it can click Knock Off or pivot on anything that tries to come in on it.

Grass/Poison is also a strong defensive type, and it can click Knock Off or pivot on anything that tries to come in on it.
6. Wendihoax: This guy's gonna be such a gremlin. I love this concept, Disguise Slap is so funny. You don't know what this guy's item is gonna be until it hits you with Disguise Slap, you can't knock it off either due to Sticky Hold, which is irritating but it has enough counterplay. I do think that this Pokemon's low Speed holds it back from being a really toxic presence, you always have the freedom to scout its set by making midground plays whenever it comes in. Overall Wendihoax seems pretty healthy, it encourages clever play on both sides. if you really wanna tech against this guy you can just run Covert Cloak.
7. Verdame: A pretty good Pokemon, and basically Flutter Mane if it wasn't absurdly minmaxed. I don't really see any real cases to run its signature ability, even with all the strong Grassy Terrain setters we have in the format right now since it doesn't get any noteworthy Grass type options, with Seedstrom floating around I don't think this Pokemon would want to give itself a weakness to it. This is going to opt to spread burns via Will-o-Wisp, troll with Encore, and sustain itself through Moonlight. This could potentially get obnoxious as it is pretty fast with access to Wisp, Encore, and effective recovery while boasting some respectable bulk, especially since it has Calm Mind to break past anything that might try to exploit its lower Special Attack.
8. Headless Horseman: This guy is gonna be a dedicated hyper offense lead. Ceaseless Edge + Burning Bulwark while also conveniently blocking Rapid Spins, and an ability that is just Disguise + Moxie is a truly devastating combo. Luckily this cannot set up, and has pretty poor bulk. Glare along with its ability lets you put a stop to anything that may have spiraled out of control by paralyzing it while taking any hit due to the Disguise. Overall, this Pokemon has a ton of utility options and I expect to find it on a lot of hyper offenses.
9. Hauntmare: Cool typing and signature item. This is a Pokemon that you'll have to respect, and its item guarantees that it'll be immune to the first Fighting move thrown at it. This feels like Super Ceruledge in some aspects. Being able to block the first incoming Fighting move with that item is huge, the item also boosts your STAB options, and Extreme Speed serves as a safety net against priority moves. On top of that, you have pretty respectable bulk at 100/75/75. I can definitely see this needing to be toned down in the future.

10. Abductoid: I really dislike this, it gets Parental Bond + Night Shade. This has the same problem that got Mega Kangaskhan banned to Ubers, and that's the fact that you have a move that does a flat 200 damage to anything not immune to it. This guy also has amazing bulk and Recover too, please nerf this guy.
11. Job Application: This is an incredibly funny winner. While the ability might be slightly annoying, it doesn't have too much to actually capitalize on that. Overall, pretty balanced.
12. Swirlix-Hatted: Ralsei but candy. This is a pretty strong Pokemon, it has respectable Special Attack and Speed, along with Nuzzle and two great abilities. I think this will serve as a good defensive piece on quite a few teams, Dark/Fairy is also a really strong offensive combo, so it does limit switch-ins quite a bit.
13. Cacackle: Flying type Alakazam with Super Defog(tm). Pretty good overall, Magic Guard lets this get away with running stuff like Life Orb or Specs. U-Turn and Wisp let you troll a bunch of stuff that would try to threaten you as well. This Pokemon's weak point does come in the form of its offenses though, 120 Special Attack is good, it leaves a bit to be desired, and it doesn't have the best offensive type in the world.
14. Mimikry: 2x Power on the mentioned moves after the disguise falls, especially after a Swords Dance, is just too much. This gets a free Swords Dance with Disguise, and then tears everything apart afterwards. This is basically like gaining Huge Power on its STAB options, realistically all this needs is Lash Out and Temper Flare, and it'll be absurdly difficult to wall, and any attempts to slow it down (such as Intimidate) will end in failure since Lash Out gets powered up if the user's stats drop. Not to mention this Pokemon already has a pretty good speed tier, you can just slap a Choice Band/Scarf on it if you feel like getting an instant power boost.
15. Faincess: An Eviolite compatible Pokemon in this dex is cool. The bulk is good, and access to recovery in Slack Off is cool, and Fairy/Steel is an amazing defensive type. But I think this Pokemon needs a little more. Right now it's just too passive with only 80 Sp. Atk. What this Pokemon really wants is access to Hazards, Rocks or Spikes might make this worth running. As of now, it kinda just slows stuff down, without making any meaningful progress in the meantime.
16. Spinarak-Man: Buzzwole if it was made in Generation 9. Being able to Rapid Spin and have access to Regenerator + U-Turn will make this Pokemon and invaluable piece on so many teams. I think that this will partly fill the role that Great Tusk does in SV OU due to its great physical bulk, Attack, and hazard removing abilities, and will find itself as a good glue Pokemon for many players.
17. Tyrannotserious: This Pokemon's name is so clever and I love it. I think that it's pretty balanced too, despite 80/120/60 bulk with Fluffy. You can exploit its weaker side, and this guy doesn't have any form of recovery so chip on it does count. Head Smash also isn't STAB so it isn't getting full mileage out of Rock Head.
18. Stakataka-Haunted: Trick Room players are EATING with this one. Ghost/Steel is an incredibly good defensive type and its literally Stakataka so this guy has excellent longevity. I think Trick Room teams are gonna be pretty effective with this guy around, though Stakataka itself lacks too much offensive prowess outside of Gyro Ball now that it can't Beast Boost. I can see this getting potentially unhealthy depending on the potency of Trick Room teams in this format, but for now I think its fine.

I can see this getting potentially unhealthy depending on the potency of Trick Room teams in this format, but for now I think its fine.
19. Skeletap: This guy is pretty silly. Rocks + Explosion is an effective lead, and you can even try to Swords Dance and spam the now physical Hyper Voice for a good Normal type move. Normal/Ghost is an amazing defensive typing too and I think this guy will make for a pretty good revenge killer/lead. Nothing wants to get caught by Explosion, and the Ghost types switching in are at risk of being clubbed by Shadow Bone.
20. Populate: Maushold if it was made in Generation 9. I actually think that this is broken with Population Bomb when paired with the setup moves it has right now, Swords Dance and Tidy Up. This kinda just mandates Rocky helmet on every team, and its just gonna get knocked by Populate anyways. This guy is also really fast, and after Tidy Up you outspeed everything. +1 Technician Population Bomb just absolutely stings, especially coming off of that 115 Attack. If this got a KO beforehand and is now boosting its moves, you ARE getting swept and unless you make a godlike read with some Rocky Helmet guy in the back, its gonna be painful. As much as I hate to say it, I do think this might have to lose Population Bomb, that or it has to undergo some serious fine tuning, because right now this thing can do like 70% to a Dondozo with Population Bomb.
21. Ogerpon-Shape: Ogerpon is out for blood, and the opponent's team is her next victim. I mean it's Ogerpon with a pretty strong typing, you know it'll be good. A 120 BP Steel Ivy Cudgel is gonna do wonders into the Fairy types running amok, that and you can Terastallize to gain Moxie whenever you feel like it. I think a Swords Dance + Trailblaze set could potentially wreak the most havoc. You just become Kingambit but fast.

I wonder if it'd be better to save these edits until after the format is playable. After all, my judgment could very well be wrong, and the Pokemon fall just fine into the meta (unless you're that Parental Bond Night Shade guy, I can say with utmost confidence that that combo is absurdly broken).
GZ Athena ! Nice job on the win !
I'm fine with this as long as this ignores Petmodder changes. They've mainly be changed to help benefit the meta
Is me having Klutz some weird way of insulting me...?
(Joking btw, just thought that this would be funny to say)

Seriously though, I'd kind of prefer Supreme Overlord as an inside joke/reference to how my ability idea for Mega Falinks before it came out in Champions was Supreme Overlord. Obviously do what's best for balancing though, keep it as Klutz if Supreme Overlord would be broken AF.
lol victory star for mine is very thematically on point. Would my set then get like the strong/Useful but low accuracy moves so the ability is utilized well? Or how is each variants set decided?
Also would it be okay if I was a water electric type instead of just water. My thing in pet mods is that I say I’m the legendary super PokeWarrior , like legendary super Saiyan. So the electricity they have in their aura would be represented by the electric type

Decided to update the art so now he has the Flutter Mane side wing things (intentionally, in honor of our lord and savior Flutter Mane)
Attachments
It is now listed as worry seed so you can play as a disruptive pivot.
While I can make it supreme overlord, I will have to remove No Retreat. Klutz was only there because 100/100/100/100/100/100 No Retreat is crazy.
Added. Victory Star is not as powerful as it should be and even though you can abuse low accuracy moves, anything below 80% is essentially the same.
No
anyways may I ask why i'm fire type (I understand the bug type dw Weedle stuff)
The litwick build of your avatar. I've been mainly running off vibes and info left on profiles.
interesting.
who up bangoosin it. last minute little balance change here since bangoose's movepool was kinda flaccid
fight me about it please dont actually fight me im just a stupid fat chud :c

Balance changes to my submissions that got in:
- Seedstrom
- Remove Strength Sap- This should make Seedstrom way less oppressive by limiting their healing to Sappy Seed, which should still provide potent healing. I'd like to keep Sappy Seed to start because I consider it integral to Seedstrom's competitive design, but if it proves to be too oppressive with Sappy Seed then it can be removed down the line.
- The Bulky Support random battle set should receive Synthesis instead Strength Sap, as this fulfills the same role of keeping Seedstrom healthy but to a less oppressive degree.
- Bulky Support (Seedstrom) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Delta Stream
- Sappy Seed
- Storm Swing
- Synthesis
- Defog
- Bulky Support (Seedstrom) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
- The Bulky Support random battle set should receive Synthesis instead Strength Sap, as this fulfills the same role of keeping Seedstrom healthy but to a less oppressive degree.
- Remove Trick-or-Treat - I gave this move as a stylistic move before realizing that people were submitting random battles sets with Z Crystals. This move is neither fun nor balanced on most Pokémon when Z Crystals are legal, so it's getting removed.
- Remove Strength Sap- This should make Seedstrom way less oppressive by limiting their healing to Sappy Seed, which should still provide potent healing. I'd like to keep Sappy Seed to start because I consider it integral to Seedstrom's competitive design, but if it proves to be too oppressive with Sappy Seed then it can be removed down the line.
- Faincess
- Add Stealth Rock- Steel-types tend to get rock moves—including Stealth Rock—anyway and this should help make Faincess a bit less passive.
- The Bulky Support set should be updated to include this valuable move. Since it's a bit awkward to run both Defog and Stealth Rock, the former has been replaced with the latter. Here is the updated importable:
- Bulky Support (Faincess) @ Eviolite
Ability: Princess Power
- Moonblast
- Lovely Kiss
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock
- Bulky Support (Faincess) @ Eviolite
- The Bulky Support set should be updated to include this valuable move. Since it's a bit awkward to run both Defog and Stealth Rock, the former has been replaced with the latter. Here is the updated importable:
- Add Stealth Rock- Steel-types tend to get rock moves—including Stealth Rock—anyway and this should help make Faincess a bit less passive.
- Popotion
- Alterations to Fizzy Body- Fizzy Body punishes physical attackers way too much in its current state. Fizzy Body should have its confusion chance removed and be updated to the following:
- 30% chance a Pokemon making contact with this Pokemon will become drowsy.
- Alterations to Fizzy Body- Fizzy Body punishes physical attackers way too much in its current state. Fizzy Body should have its confusion chance removed and be updated to the following:
- Yvonneon
- Changes to base stats: 10 less Def and 10 more Atk - It's a bit difficult to punish Yvonneon currently, so decreasing her defense by a little should keep her in line. Physical attackers should now have an easier time taking advantage of her lower physical Defense compared to her Special Defense.
- Remove Sizzly Slide- I didn't think this move would be so oppressive, so I included it in the moveset haphazardly as a companion move to Sparkly Swirl without thinking of the ramifications. Will-O-Wisp is still an option if you want to spread burns, but it's not as overbearing as Sizzly Slide.
- I didn't even include Sizzly Slide in the random battles sets because I considered it to be so inconsequential, but I do want to update Yvonneon's random battle sets anyways! Will-O-Wisp is such a good move here, so I'm adding it to the Bulky Support and Bulky Setup set. There is also a new set, Setup Sweeper, which is the same as the previous Bulky Setup set. Here is the updated importable:
- Bulky Support (Yvonneon) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Moral Support
- Sparkly Swirl
- Flamethrower / Will-O-Wisp
- Wish
- Protect
Bulky Setup (Yvonneon) @ Leftovers
Ability: Cute Charm
- Flamethrower
- Draining Kiss
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind
Setup Sweeper (Yvonneon) @ Leftovers
Ability: Moral Support
- Sparkly Swirl
- Flamethrower
- Draining Kiss
- Calm Mind
- Bulky Support (Yvonneon) @ Heavy-Duty Boots

Anything but giving my form Sticky Web...
Sure you can remove No Retreat. Just replace it with some other move Falinks gets. My choice would be Reversal. It would be even more of a late game cleaner that can stack the boost from its allies' deaths via Supreme Overlord with any damage it has sustained previously and hit hard with Reversal.

I'm also definitely the type of guy to retreat in a very bad situation so No Retreat isn't the most fitting thing for me to have anyway lol.

I loved Poltinkspice so much that they inspired me to make a latte-based fakemon for my own solomod that I've been slowly developing. I love the visual design I came up with in my head—which one day I'll get around to drawing—so I have you to thank for that.
Having played a bit of the Halloween Calendar format early, I can say that Poltkinspice feels AMAZING to use with phenomenal bulk, good damage, a strong type whose STAB-attacks pair incredibly well with Wave Crash, and of course, Regenerator. They feel so healthy and I was elated every time one generated on my team.
So, yeah. Good job making Poltkinspice! I adore the little pumpkin spice latte mon :3
Any idea how good trick room is? It's the thing my mon was made for so I hope it's at least ok.
