In case it wasn't already clear, both extensions are granted.
I thought I'd post this here because I'm curious on what the general consensus on Ambyu-Lance is.
I'll tag current tournament players if they'd like to voice their thoughts. Though anyone is free to chime in if they'd like!

This thing should lose Wish and see no other changes imo. I think its role isn't really problematic, it's good role compression that checks a unique spread of mons and helps teams not be pigeonholed into very specific defensive cores. Physdef with boots is a good check to Gerson and Undyne, and Roaring knight in the midgame and can help scout choice band Flowery, while also being the only true wall to Lancer. AV lets you not immediately lose a mon every turn to specs/life orb download queen, and is very solid into the other queen sets too while giving you a safety net against Shadow Mantle and Mettatonmegay. I think nerfing it into unviability (like removing knock or uturn) would be very bad, since offense teams would be basically required to run a Winglade or Jackenstein just to not autolose to the mons that Physdef ambyu checks for them.

Knock Off Wish Protect and U-turn make this thing a gen 9 natdex alomomola with an unblockable pivoting move (nobody is going to run Antivirus to cuck other ambyus, i dont think) in a meta with so, so many mons that appreciate both a slow pivot and healing. Download Queen, Undyne, Gerson, Jevil, Life Orb Flowery, Alphys, Royal Guard 1, and the Mettatons are all mons that deliberately lack reliable healing and are presumably meant to be hindered by their succeptibility to chip damage. I can't understate just how reliable the wish passing is, and how easy it is to bowl over balance teams that can't 2hko Ambyu or its teammates. Losing wish makes this a bulky Mienshao with recover, which is still plenty viable and leaves AV sets unchanged.
On the other hand I think Circle Throw would be wayyyyy too good, like, unfathomably broken. A fat af regen mon that has knock off, reliable recovery, and a phazing move is unprecedented since even Ho-oh and Hydrapple lack knock off. I think pushing the tier towards boots spam/superman just to not be eaten alive by the Ambyu's phazing would be a bit lame. Also, Circle throw just lets ambyu beat stuff that should ideally force it out, like bulk up flowery and sd undyne. I do think the tier needs more viable phazing, but giving an untauntable stab phazing move to an already top 5 mon would be completely busted, even if it loses Wish at the same time. For reference, CAP metas (with a power level above that of deltamon) are all under the thumb of Arghonaut, who has recovery, comparable bulk, knock off and circle throw.
Don't really understand concerns around Ambyu as its for sure one of the most overall balanced mons in the tier rn. Good regen pivot that is fairly bulky but held back by overall passivity and 4mss. Would say its best set rn is AV because of its nice synergy with physwalls for 2-4 offense cores but PhysDef Ambyu is also nice. Though these sets are held back by 4mss, having to choose whether you want to be passive into Queen or Fairies for AV, as well as Wish + Protect being moveslot hogs on PhysDef sets. As an OM player, I live and breathe Regen pivots and these mons tend to be very balanced, even positive presences in their metas (See: AAA RegenVests, MnM Dragalgite Magearna, BH Registeel, etc.). In my opinion, no changes are necessary.
E: Circle Throw broken, hard to get off the field and farms hazard chip off of attempted switch ins to force it out. Then it just Regens and does it all again.
E2: Nerf Undyne tho, even with the minor breaking power nerf she is still just way too strong and bulky along with survivability from Undying Spirit. Very difficult to play around without specifically Sacred Sword* Floradinn.

I did want to nerf Undyne for Deltamon 1.1. And I was thinking the same thing, that or taking Aqua Jet from her. I was leaning more towards the latter, as it would make Undyne a "juggernaut" Pokemon similar to Iron Hands. An Undying Spirit nerf was also on the table, I thought it'd be cool to have an ability that was basically Gen 6 berries but I'm quickly learning why those got nerfed lol. I think Aqua Jet is a cool part of Undyne's kit though, since it lets her play a little bit like National Dex's Scizor. Let me know what you all think!
It's the end.
The deadline for Round 6 is Sunday, November 8 at 11:59 PM GMT-5.
uppa vs MafuSimp
The winner of this round can choose to make their Champion's Recruit a crossover from a popular fan work if they desire (eg. Undertale Yellow)! I'll be looking forward to this match, hosting this tournament has been quite fun and I have seen quite a lot of fun games!

CONGRATULATIONS TO UPPA FOR THE VICTORY!
And thanks to everyone else for partaking in the tournament! This was an absolute blast to watch, especially that Mizzle game lol. When I first opened signups for this tour I didn't think I'd get anything over a dozen signups, but I was proven wrong! It also sounds like a lot of you had fun playing in this tournament, so I'm glad to hear that! Anyways, with that out of the way... uppa Peum eggdude and Mimik909 (the person MafuSimp donated their prize to) are all eligible to design a new Pokemon to be added to Deltamon's post tournament update! If you don't want to you can always give it to another tournament participant. The tournament winner (uppa) can sub something from a popular fan work if they want! The winners can post their submissions here on the Deltamon thread! (So like, Undertale Yellow, TS!Underswap, etc., if you have any other ideas just let me know and we can discuss it!). But for now, it's time to reveal the newcomers arriving in Deltamon 1.1, as well as the balance changes!

Type: Ground/Fighting
Abilities: Floral Ambush (On switch-in start as Aerokota-Shielded. Upon using an attacking move, transform into Aerokota. Grass moves have 1.5x Base Power.)
Base Stats (Shielded): 90/75/145/50/145/20 (BST:525)
Base Stats (Emerged): 90/125/70/100/70/70 (BST:525)
Signature Move: Bramble Arrow: Grass, Physical, 70 BP, 16 PP, 100% Accurate. The user disrupts the target by firing an arrow at blinding speed, almost always going first (Priority +3).This move uses the target's Speed stat to calculate its damage. This move can only be used during the first turn the user is on the field.
Movepool: Aura Sphere, Bramble Arrow, Bulldoze, Bullet Seed, Detect, Earth Power, Earthquake, Endure, Energy Ball, Grassy Terrain, Iron Defense, Laser Focus, Leaf Storm, Life Dew, Lock-On, Petal Blizzard, Pin Missile, Protect, Quick Guard, Rest, Sleep Talk, Stealth Rock, Substitute, Thousand Arrows, Triple Arrows, Vacuum Wave
Competitive Role: Aerokota is meant to be a decently durable Ground type able to set Stealth Rock along with access to a strong STAB combo in Thousand and Triple Arrows. Bramble Arrow is a Fake Out-adjacent option for revenge killing fast targets. The main drawback that this guy has is that it will nearly always go last due to its slow Speed in the Shielded form. Fortunately, that form has great defenses, and Aerokota packs a punch with its excellent offensive options and Bramble Arrow can allow you to get out of the Shielded form immediately, and serve as a threat into faster and/or weakened targets.

Type: Bug/Fairy
Abilities: Dancer, Tinted Lens, Floral Symbiont (Grass moves used by this Pokemon have 1.5x Power, while its ally's Grass moves gain 1.3x Power. This Pokemon heals twice the amount of HP under the effects of Grassy Terrain.)
Base Stats: 71/105/65/105/75/104 (BST:525)
Signature Move: Spiral Dance: Bug, Physical, 60 BP, 32 PP, 100% Accurate. The user performs a twirl that blows away all hazards on their side as well as freeing them from Leech Seed or any binding effects. This also boosts the user's Speed by 1 stage. This move does not make contact.
Movepool: Aqua Cutter, Bug Buzz, Dazzling Gleam, Dragon Dance, Endure, Extrasensory, Leaf Blade, Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Light Screen, Moonblast, Petal Dance, Play Rough, Protect, Psycho Cut, Rapid Spin, Reflect, Rest, Sacred Sword, Slash, Sleep Talk, Spiral Dance, Spirit Break, Substitute, Sunny Day, Sweet Scent, Swords Dance, Synthesis, Teeter Dance, Trick, U-Turn, Whirlwind, Wide Guard, X-Scissor
Competitive Role: Utility oriented Mienshao. Has Tinted Lens and STAB U-Turn but is extremely frail and lacks immediate firepower, running a Choice Item means that you are likely getting prodded by hazards. Setting up with either Swords Dance or Dragon Dance is extremely risky if you do decide to run that. Spiral Dance is a stronger, contact-less spin but opponents who call the move can hit you back for a potential KO.

Type: Grass/Fighting
Abilities: Blossom Boost
Base Stats: 110/170/95/73/95/142 (BST:680)
Signature Item: Prismatic Omega Petal: A glistening petal filled with dreams. If held by Flowery with Jarona, he can Ultra Burst into Omega Flowery and use the Z-Move Last Jarona.
Signature Move: Last Jarona: Grass, 210 BP, Can't Miss, Z-Move, Punch.
The user channels the Power of Friendship to unleash their ultimate move. This move sets the Rose-Gold Garden effect for 6 turns.
Rose-Gold Garden: Terrain: Grassy Terrain effect. Mitigates Grass-Type weaknesses for any Pokemon, grounded or not. Triggers any Pokemon's Blossom Boost. Cannot be overwritten or dispelled by any means.
Competitive Role: (Some of) You guys asked for him, so here's Omega Flowery! This is the 2nd Ultra Burst user in the dex, and the new fastest Pokemon (beating out Cuptain at 140 Speed)! Flowery is already good in OU and clearly doesn't need more buffs. This guy is obviously Ubers and will not be legal in OU. Rose-Gold Garden is basically a Terrain equivalent to Delta Stream, and hopefully this gives Asriel in Ubers some much needed competition (for the 2 people that play Ubers).

Type: Dragon/Poison
Abilities: Big Chomp (The user deals 1.3x damage with Biting moves. Upon knocking out a target with a Biting move, the user heals a quarter of their max HP.)
Base Stats: 115/130/100/43/100/62 (BST:550)
Movepool: Belch, Bite, Body Slam, Crunch, Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw, Dragon Pulse, Earthquake, Endure, Fire Fang, Gunk Shot, Ice Fang, Iron Head, Knock Off, Leech Life, Outrage, Poison Fang, Poison Gas, Poison Jab, Protect, Psychic Fangs, Rest, Roar, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Sleep Talk, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Stealth Rock, Stone Edge, Stuff Cheeks, Substitute, Thunder Fang, Toxic
Competitive Role: A Tyranitar-style mixed wall. Big Mouth boasts excellent defenses, a good defensive typing, and Stealth Rocks, Knock Off, and Toxic to create progress. Though like Tyranitar, it is quite prone to being whittled down over time. It deliberately doesn't get any STAB Biting moves other than the weak Poison Fang to force it to KO with weaker coverage options (albeit slightly boosted due to the ability) to heal without the assistance of its allies. I think the meta could use more Dragon types, hence the addition of this guy and Harpy.

Competitive Role: A specially defensive Dragon type with a weak physical side, also having access to fast Defogs, Thunder Waves, and Volt Switches. Air Lock lets it pressure weather teams and Wind Rider lets it safely come in on stuff like Kawkaw Hurricane or Noelle Blizzard. However, it does struggle into Ground types. Despite that, it can still launch Draco Meteors on them for chip damage.

Type: Fire/Normal
Abilities: Flame Body/Flame Phase (This Pokemon's fiery body shifts around incoming moves, quartering the damage of contact moves for the first turn it is on the field.)
Base Stats: 89/61/40/117/112/101 (BST:520)
Movepool: Burn Up, Dazzling Gleam, Encore, Endure, Energy Ball, Fire Blast, Fire Punch, Fire Spin, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Flash Cannon, Healing Wish, Heat Wave, Light Screen, Magma Storm, Mystical Fire, Protect, Psychic, Reflect, Rest, Safeguard, Scorching Sands, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Sunny Day, Tri Attack, Will-O-Wisp
Competitive Role: Decently fast Magma Storm user that can eat most physical hits for breakfast (at least for one turn). Can also throw off Healing Wish if necessary. Fuku Fire's unique typing combo allows it to take dual STABs from Jevil, while conveniently being 1 point faster. Access to a pretty fast Will-O-Wisp and Magma Storm encourages proactive play against this Pokemon, and it can further push its team's momentum with Healing Wish, should it choose to run that.

Competitive role: hype moments and aura
During the Pet Mods Halloween Advent, Gaboswampert submitted The Roaring Knight as one of their entries! Coupled with this AMAZING custom sprite made for it! And they were kind enough to let me use this sprite for Deltamon! The Roaring Knight now has an alternate form (Roaring Knight-Advent) which is only a simple cosmetic difference, but it changes their battle sprite to Gaboswampert's! I hope you guys use it to spice up the Roaring Knight's appearance.

Resets once this Pokemon leaves the field. Demoralize: Effect Update: Upon entering the field, this Pokemon lowers the Special Attack of all opponents by one stage. Pokemon with Rattled gain +1 Speed in addition to this effect, Pokemon with Inner Focus are immune. Oh, and Seth and Aqua seem to have a new move in their arsenal... |
Let me know what you guys think of these changes. Anything you disagree with?
And that concludes Party Dojo, the first ever Deltamon tournament! I'm quite glad you guys all had fun, and it gives me indescribable amounts of joy to see my passion project adored by so many people. Once again, thank you for watching my dream, and here's to more Deltamon in the future!
