I wonder if my ideas haven't been good.

Hmm, I have a few others:

Rotom-S had Hurricane instead of Air Slash.... and I guess a better ability? Uh... Volt Absorb?

Serperior as part dragon with Draco Meteor? Maybe a gen too late to be amazing... but still.

Coil & Glare Steelix.

Recover Weezing.

Ghost/Normal Banette (and mega.) A pure buff as it adds Ghost immunity and a second STAB.

Do you mind giving the analyses, Abomasnow and Entei, checks?

Also, Multiscale Zygarde.

Levitate Magnezone seems pretty good too. It makes a lot of sense, especially because it floats with electromagnetic power, and it would get rid of the need for Magnet Rise. And it would also nullify most entry hazards that still affect him after steel typing.

Give Protean to Porygon-Z to supplement for his signature moves, which are unreliable and take too long to set up. Even though the name of the ability doesn't quite match Porygon-Z, the effect certainly does.

You know how I recommended Poison Heal Snorlax a while ago? Well I was just browsing around the other day and noticed that the same idea is suggested in this thread here (https://www.smogon.com/smog/issue7/abilities) in the honorable mentions and was wondering if the authors deserve some credit?
PS I came up with this idea by myself but realise they came up with it 1st and think it would be rude not to mention them.

Fire Blast Espeon?
Espeon can now get past Aegislash, Gourgeist and Trevenant, and deal with hazard setters such as Scolipede and Klefki.
What do you think? I'll put some calcs in the comments because of the character limit.

What do you think of Bulk Up Salamence for the Theorymon Project?
With Intimidate and 252/252 physical defenses, it has the equivalent of about 120/120 bulk after 1 Bulk Up. Then you can smack things around with your equivalent 210 Attack, or Bulk Up some more, or set up a Substitute. For example,
-1 252+ Atk Mamoswine Icicle Crash vs. +1 252 HP / 252 Def Salamence: 252-300 (63.9 - 76.1%)

Lightingrod empoleon. It could stop thundurus and m manectric in their tracks, as well as be a decent special defensive wall.

This theorymon occurred to me in the briefest and smallest of sparks, (I rarely get those) so I figured why not.

Also, I hope you don't take my post in the theorymon thread offensively or anything, it was an honest suggestion not a criticism or attack or anything.

Ok, after my somewhat disappointing theorymon suggestions, I think I've found one that will fit the bill. Pursuit Banette. It takes advantage of Banettes stellar Attack stat while still retaining its role of a supportive mon.

I think it is best to keep the Victory forum as place where tier influencing threads (OU Ranks, Suspect discussions) are discussed and keep everything else at the OU forum (general mon discussion, guides, contests, etc.). You do not want the talented and experienced players to flock to one forum and leave the new people unattended to.

Here's an idea for theorymons: Aerodactyl with Brave Bird or Head Smash (or both).

I think I have a rough idea for theorymon: Meganium with Spore:
- Meganium has a decent bulk but nothing to shutdown any offensive threats other than toxic, giving Meganium spore will allow it to shut down threats and sub seed into any switches

I have an idea for theorymon: Sheer Force Infernape. The reason people chose other Pokemon over Infernape is because they have more power. With Sheer Force, Infernape could really leave a dent in foes with moves like Flare Blitz, Fire Blast, ThunderPunch, Focus Blast, and Rock Slide.

Quick question, from our applications to Victory Road, to all the people vote and get back to you at the same time, or do they post when they've thought about?

Would I be allowed to suggest a Regenerator Regirock?
It trades the current Regen Registeel's Special Defense for a ridiculous Defense, and has a reasonable 100 attack.
Flavourwise the Pokedex says it rebuilds itself with rocks, so i guess that works

Here's an idea for Theorymon: Swift Swim Samurott

While Swift Swim is no longer banned, it's still not seen too much. Samurott seems like an ideal abuser of the ability, with strong mixed attacking stats, priority, and a strong movepool.

Is this the place where I'm supposed to submit Theorymon suggestions? Other people are doing it, so I'll assume so...

Drizzle Bronzong. Super flavorful, provides an alternate, more defensive kind of Drizzle user, and... I suppose it kind of does what Heatproof already does for Bronzong alone, but it allows for team interactions.

What if Moltres got Sacred Fire?Moltres because now Defensive Moltres will be able to check a few more pokemon freeing up a slot for some other move of course there's still weaknesses but it might work.

What should I include in the checks and counters section for Whimsicott? While it shouldn't seem too hard, barely anything likes being statused or obtaining a Lagging Tail.

Here's another suggestion: No Guard Heracross, it would make Megahorn and Stone Edge always hit and not be bothered with the low accuracy.
It might be considered overpored that a 125 base attack pokemon get's a 120 no drawbacks move, but you have to remember that Heracross most of the time has to be choice-locked by a Scarf for a sweep. What do you think of it?

Hey, I'd like to suggest FIghting/Dark Malamar. This gives it way more switch-in opportunities than before, and STAB on Superpower, it's main spamming move.
What do you think?
