Pokémon Name: Vivillon-Spirit
Typing:
Abilities: Shield Dust / Cursed Body / Multiscale
Base Stats: 80 HP / 125 Atk / 95 Def / 55 SpA / 80 SpD / 105 Spe [BST: 540]
Notable Moves:
+First Impression, +Poltergeist, +Shadow Sneak, +Leech Life, +Lunge, U-Turn
…
+Swords Dance, Roost, Substitute, Safeguard
Intended Role: Setup Sweeper (Swords Dance)
For Vivillon-Spirit I went for a Swords Dance sweeper that could use Multiscale to set up when it’s at full hp. While its defensive typing is week, Bug/Ghost synergizes well since Ghost’s only resist (other than Normal’s immunity) is Dark, and the Bug-type is super effective against Dark. It could also be a great revenge killer with First Impression.
Pokémon Name: Vivillon-Combat
Typing:
Abilities: Levitate / No Guard
Base Stats: 100 HP / 55 Atk / 90 Def / 95 SpA / 110 SpD / 90 Spe [BST: 540]
Notable Moves:
U-Turn
+Focus Blast, Hurricane, Bug Buzz, Giga Drain
Quiver Dance, Roost, Substitute, Safeguard
Sleep Powder
Intended Role: Setup Sweeper (Quiver Dance)
For Vivillon-Combat I went for a Quiver Dance sweeper that had a mediocre special attacking stat and defensive typing so that it wouldn’t be too overwhelming with QD, but could take advantage of STAB No Guard Focus Blasts.
We will be taking a playtesting break, to iron out any last kinks + get a firm understanding of the metagame. We will also be having tours throughout the weekend. Sunday we will be scheduled for 3pm EST, while today will just be whoever is here on a optimal time. Keep up replays even outside of tours, and use up as much Pokémon as possible!

Ok guys, after doing some playtesting and some discussion from the council, we have decided to implement some buffs and nerfs.
Nerfs
-Recover
Rotom-Fan as it existed, completely halted progress for gameplay, as its defensive prowess and denied hazards from ever staying up in the match. With the removal of Recover, its much easier to wear down over the course of a match, and makes its job at removing hazards much harder.
-Fire/Dark typing, +Fire/Normal typing
Darmanitan's main problem was its scary neutral coverage that its typing provided. Fire Dark was simply too potent of an offensive combo, so the much safer Fire/Normal was decided. Keeps the same checks, but opens up counterplay with a wider variety of switchins.
*Rare Cold now reduces damage by 30%
Darmanitan G-Zen was too efficient at sweeping teams with Belly Drum, due to the ease at with it can set up with against almost every thing in the tier thanks to Rare Cold giving it effective auto screens. This nerf should give it a harder time to set up.
-Strong Jaw, +Sap Sipper
Rotom-Mow hits ridiculously hard after set up, being able to 2HKO every Pokémon in the tier after one turn of set up. Strong Jaws Psychic Fangs was simply to strong of an option.
Buffs
+Stone Edge, Shadow Sneak, Earthquake, Giga Drain, Drain Punch, Wild Charge, Psychic, Triple Axel
Silvally-Ground loses Sand Force, gains Mold Breaker
Silvally-Rock loses Solid Rock, gains Sand Stream
Silvally as a physical attacker sucks. Silvally Ground and Rock specifically are just bad Pokemon in general. With this movepool expansion giving physically leaning variants mich better coverage options and Ground and Rock getting different abilities, it can better serve carve out a niche for themselves.
+Filter, +Volt Switch
Aegishield is bulky but is extremely passive, I decided a small buff of Volt Switch and Filter would be adequate for it.
-60 SpA, +60 Spe
Aegislash hits hard as hell, but is also one of the frailest Pokémon in the game, while also being one of the slowest. It was simply too much of a risk to use on a team. With this speed buff, it should be able to immediately threaten a lot more builds.
+Addition of Base Pikachu's movepool
+Slack Off, Taunt
+Pikachu-Belle gains Encore, Vacuum Wave, Water Shuriken
+Pikachu-Libre gains Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Power Trip
These Pikachu forms suffered from being pretty mediocre in comparison to the competition currently available, and due to an oversight from the submitters in regards to the movepool available to the subs. In addition to just blanket granting these moves, the forms were given extra unique utility to help them stand out.
+Iron Barbs, Coil, Gear Grind, +20 HP, +5 Attack, +5 SpD
Dugtrio-A is just a poor Ground type surrounded by better Ground types. So we decided to bump up its power and give it access to more varied tools to work with.
120 / 70 / 120 / 95 / 95 / 30 --> 120 / 120 / 95 / 50 / 95 / 50
+Anchor Shot, +Liquidation, +Will O Wisp, +Pain Split, +Flip Turn
Rotom-Wash quite frankly sucks. Its outclassed as a Steel type by Rotom-Fan and it is outclassed as bulky waters by both Slowbro and Silvally-Water, who do the physically defensive Water type better than it. So to keep the spirit of being a Trapper, I decided to retool it around being a good trapper with Anchor Shot.
Well, hopefully with that massive shakeup, we can move towards having a more stable metagame.
Now with that out of the way, its time for the next slate.
Slate 10: Gear Up, Genesect
Genesect, similar to Vivillon, is a Pokémon with differing forms who technically have no major differences between them, sans a rare coverage move. The difference between it amd Viv is that Genesect is a broken Ubers Pokémon, so it not only needs to be properly altered between them, but also be properly nerfed to fit within the metagame.
Nerfs

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Base
Stat Changes: 100/110/50/130/120/40 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Analytic
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect base is meant to be a strong Special Wall with Analytic that plays similarly to a more offensive version of Forretress. It's low speed combined with Gyro Ball and Analytic, as well as access to decent coverage in Thunderbolt allows it to act as an offensively powerful wall whose low Speed is it's greatest strength. U-Turn is also good to be used as a pivoting move, and is a good source of chip for it's teammates to take advantage of. Lastly, it acts as a great Trick Room abuser; though it loses the boost it gets from Analytic, it trades it in for being able to move first, which is already in it of itself a great perk, especially combined with Base's movepool and great attacking stats.

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Stone (Chill)
Stat Changes: 70/90/110/90/100/90 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Unburden
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What Separates it from Other Forms: Stone is a Shell Smash sweeper with access to decent bulk and healing if one wishes not to run Shell Smash. With Shell Smash it becomes a potent offensive threat, and access to Stealth Rock and utility carves it a niche without it, especially with Rapid Spin to prevent hazards from being set up as well as a good speed increase. Unburden gives it some nice synergy with Meteor Beam, which is a STAB rock type move that Stone can use.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Earth (Douse)
Stat Changes: 80/65/100/100/105/100 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Intimidate
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Earth tries to salvage one of the worst defensive typings in the game and give it a defensive role. Access to Sticky Web, Leech Seed, Strength Sap, and Knock Off give it good utility; Sticky Web as a vital hazard setter, Strength Sap to cripple physical attackers even more, and Knock Off for that general utility. It's combined with Intimidate, allowing it to switch into several neutral offensive attacks and pivot around them with it's high Speed. Synthesis acts as a reliable recovery option and adds to Earth's longevity. It can even potentially run a Special attacking stat, as 100 Special Attack with 100 Speed and access to Calm Mind allows it to potentially be a decent sweeper, though it's lack of a good dual-type STAB is what holds it back the most from being a truly effective sweeper.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Dusk (Shock)
Stat Changes: 80/90/105/90/75/110 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Prankster
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect Dusk is meant to be a premiere Stallbreaker and Physical Wall, with access to unique attributes such as Obstruct, Parting Shot, reliable recovery in Slack Off, and boosting moves in Swords Dance or Nasty Plot to fill a unique set of roles on any given team. It has a combination of Obstruct and Pursuit to lower the opponent's defense and proceed to Pursuit trap them in return. This strategy hinges on the player's prediction, as the -2 defense will almost certainly spell danger for those who were attacking Dusk, and players must choose whether they believe the opponent will switch and go for Pursuit, or if they think the opponent will stay in and take the risk, and can afford to use a stronger attack, whether it be Sucker Punch, or Knock Off, or something else of the like. Parting Shot allows it to be a good Defensive Pivot, and Knock Off is always a good utility option to have. Lastly, Prankster gives it reliability when using status moves, and allows it to more easily spread it's status around and overall wear other Pokemon down.

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Nova
Stat Changes: 82 / 105 / 75 / 105 / 75 / 118 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Flash FIre | *Overload (HA)
*Overload - Halves self-inflicted move damage. Does not apply to item- or ability-related damage. Does apply to self KO moves (now reduce HP by 50% rounded up).
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Mind Blown, Flare Blitz, Meteor Mash, -Ice Beam, Blizzard, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Techno Blast, Shift Gear,
What Separates it from Other Forms: Very fast and pretty tough to switch into, but it kills itself, and any damage it takes reduces the number of moves it can get off. Having physical and special potential increases the threat it poses. Explosion will be its strongest possible attack, but cuts its HP by 50%. It can struggle if the opponent has healthy counters, as it can't chip them down without also chipping itself. However it should be powerful in the lategame or against a more offensive matchup.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Blaster
Stat Changes: 100 / 100 / 80 / 100 / 80 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Motor Drive | Sturdy (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): *Shock Cannon, Doom Desire, Volt Switch, Rising Voltage, Wild Charge, Meteor Mash, -Techno Blast, Shift Gear, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, Giga Drain
*Shock Blaster - 40 BP - Special - Electric type - 5-8 PP - hits three times. If the user's last move was Charge, single hit, 240 base power, breaks Protect.
What Separates it from Other Forms: Based on the trope of the charge-up shot, the idea was to give it the tools to craft a no-win turn against your opponent. I decided to remove Grass coverage so the rather common Slowbro can serve as an impediment to it, or at least force it to run Hidden Power to deal with it. Pretty cheesy but hopefully fun to use.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Superconductor
Stat Changes: 80 / 120 / 70 / 120 / 70 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Ice Scales | *Impossible Cold (HA)
*Impossible Cold - Doubles both defenses, but prevents all healing (for the user).
Movepool Changes (If Any): Freeze Dry, Icicle Spear, Meteor Mash, Earth Power, -Shift Gear, Techno Blast, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Blaze Kick
What Separates it from Other Forms: A hyper-bulky pivot with an odd type that works for it thanks to an ability that basically adds a resistance to every type. Freeze Dry + Earth Power gives it some of the best 2-move coverage you could ask for. Freeze Dry / Earth Power / Toxic / U-turn with maximum bulk investment would probably be a very useful pivot. However, all damage inflicted to it will be permanent thanks to its ability, and it has two nasty 4x weaknesses, so it should be fair for most teams to deal with.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Pressurized
Stat Changes: 70 / 100 / 95 / 100 / 95 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Water Absorb | Flare Boost (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Steam Eruption, Scald, Liquidation, Meteor Mash, -Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Techno Blast
What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful attacker with Flare Boost, Steam Eruption, and good coverage moves in Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Flamethrower. It can also go for Shift Gear; while its attack isn't phenomenal, it should have an easy time setting up and hitting whatever Speed tier it needs to.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Network
Stat Changes: 70 / 110 / 80 / 110 / 80 / 110 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Swarm | Punk Rock (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): Techno Blast is now Steel type. +Meteor Mash
What Separates it from Other Forms: The only one of the group without any wacky downsides. It can do most of what a normal Genesect can do, but it trades the broken Download ability for a 120 BP Steel STAB and a 117 BP Bug STAB.

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Beta (Base)
Stat Changes: 85/125/115/65/75/85 (550 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel
Ability Changes: Compound Eyes/(Mirror Armor)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Meteor Mash, +Stone Edge, +Wild Charge, -All bug moves except Signal Beam
What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful Shift Gear sweeper. Its mediocre speed is patched up and it also gets a nice attack boost. It can pair this with either fully accurate Meteor Mashes, Stone Edges and Blaze Kicks with Compound Eyes or Mirror Armor to bounce back Intimidates. The main issue Genesect-Beta runs into is coverage. It can run Stone Edge for Fire types, Blaze Kick for Steels and Wild Charge for waters, but, out of these, only Stone Edge is a legitimately good option, and it can't run all 3 of those moves as well as Meteor Mash and Shift Gear on one set. It also can't hit slowbro and most electric types, meaning these checks have to be seriously weakened. But, overall, Genesect-Beta can be a terrifying sweeper when setup at the right time.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Molten (Burn)
Stat Changes: 70/80/135/90/95/50 (520 BST)
Typing Changes: Bug/Fire
Ability Changes: Drought/(Flash Fire)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Fire Blast, +Flare Blitz, +Flame Burst, +Lava Plume, +Morning Sun, +Mystical Fire, +Rapid Spin, +Will-o-Wisp, -Blizzard, -Energy Ball, -Ice Beam
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Molten uses its interesting defensive typing to deal with some of the format's physical attackers such as Zacian-Crowned and Rotom-Mow. It uses Morning Sun as its recovery which heals more health when sun is up thanks to Genesect-Molten's Drought, but will heal less in other weathers and also only has 8 power points when compared to other recovery options. It has some utility options in the form of U-Turn to keep up momentum, Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers and Rapid Spin to relieve hazard pressure. It also has Mystical Fire which lowers opponent's special attack, which could potentially allow it to wall special attackers despite its lower bulk. It uses Drought to weaken its water weakness and boost its recovery. Its 4x weakness to rock makes it a mediocre sun setter for sun teams, though it's probably useable.

What Separates it from Other Forms: it can trap opposing pokemon with Magma Storm, tho it comes off its lower attacking stat, it has good special defense but lower physical bulk and a poor defensive typing keep it from beeing too OP. it hits hard with Gunk Shot or Poison Jab if you dont want to risk a miss, Fire Lash and can spread burns with will o wisp. recover gives it nice longevity.

Time to do reviews
The Unburden + Shell Smash combo is very problematic also, one of the two components most definitely will have to go.
We will end submissions on Friday night -> Saturday morning, so keep up subbing!
I don't think anything sans Genesect Burn needed stat nerfs (more like stat redistribution tbh) and base form didn't look too wonky with QD. In fact, I think base form rn is pretty weak. Not a fan of No Guard Zap Cannon myself, but given its lower SpA and inability to boost I think we can allow it.

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Base
Stat Changes: 100/110/50/130/120/40 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Analytic
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Gear Grind, +Gyro Ball, +Heavy Slam, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
+Flash Cannon, -Flamethrower, -Ice Beam
+Curse, +Spikes
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect base is meant to be a strong Special Wall with Analytic that plays similarly to a more offensive version of Forretress. It's low speed combined with Gyro Ball and Analytic, as well as access to decent coverage in Thunderbolt allows it to act as an offensively powerful wall whose low Speed is it's greatest strength. U-Turn is also good to be used as a pivoting move, and is a good source of chip for it's teammates to take advantage of. Lastly, it acts as a great Trick Room abuser; though it loses the boost it gets from Analytic, it trades it in for being able to move first, which is already in it of itself a great perk, especially combined with Base's movepool and great attacking stats.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Flame (Burn)
Stat Changes: 70/95/85/95/85/120 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Tumultuous*
Movepool Changes (If Any):This Pokemon's Atk and SpA are 1.5x and the accuracy of it's physical and special attacks are 0.8x.
+First Impression, +Flare Blitz, +Megahorn, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
+Overheat, -Blizzard, -Shock Wave, -Thunderbolt
+Hone Mind*, -Shift Gear, -Thunder Wave
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Flame is an effective Set-Up sweeper and breaker with it's ability combined with access to accuracy and power boosting moves and high speed to deal explosive damage. Flare Blitz and Megahorn are very powerful STAB attacks, and Overheat and Bug Buzz are very good STAB options on the special side too. With Hone Claws and Hone Mind(WIP), Flame can bypass the accuracy drop that is the side effect of Tumultuous. Flame gets worn down very quickly however, Flare Blitz as well as 4x weak to Rocks, so one has to keep that in mind.Name: Hone Mind (Big WIP, this is a pretty stupid name ngl)
Type:
Category:

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Stone (Chill)
Stat Changes: 70/90/110/90/100/90 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Unburden
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Body Press, +Bonemerang, +Fell Stinger, +Stone Edge, -Blaze Kick, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
+Ancient Power, +Meteor Beam, -Thunder, -Thunderbolt
+Agility, +Heal Order, +Rapid Spin, +Shell Smash, +Stealth Rock, -Hone Claws, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Stone is a Shell Smash sweeper with access to decent bulk and healing if one wishes not to run Shell Smash. With Shell Smash it becomes a potent offensive threat, and access to Stealth Rock and utility carves it a niche without it, especially with Rapid Spin to prevent hazards from being set up as well as a good speed increase. Unburden gives it some nice synergy with Meteor Beam, which is a STAB rock type move that Stone can use.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Earth (Douse)
Stat Changes: 80/65/100/100/105/100 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Intimidate
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Knock Off
+Infestation, +Leaf Storm, +Sludge Bomb, -Flamethrower
+Calm Mind, +Defog, +Leech Seed, +Sticky Web, +Strength Sap, +Synthesis, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Earth tries to salvage one of the worst defensive typings in the game and give it a defensive role. Access to Sticky Web, Leech Seed, Strength Sap, and Knock Off give it good utility; Sticky Web as a vital hazard setter, Strength Sap to cripple physical attackers even more, and Knock Off for that general utility. It's combined with Intimidate, allowing it to switch into several neutral offensive attacks and pivot around them with it's high Speed. Synthesis acts as a reliable recovery option and adds to Earth's longevity. It can even potentially run a Special attacking stat, as 100 Special Attack with 100 Speed and access to Calm Mind allows it to potentially be a decent sweeper, though it's lack of a good dual-type STAB is what holds it back the most from being a truly effective sweeper.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Dusk (Shock)
Stat Changes: 80/90/105/90/75/110 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Prankster
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Knock Off, +Pursuit, +Sucker Punch, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed, -Flame Charge
+Snarl, -Psychic, -Thunderbolt
+Bulk Up, +Calm Mind, +Nasty Plot, +Obstruct, +Parting Shot, +Slack Off, +Swords Dance, +Taunt, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect Dusk is meant to be a premiere Stallbreaker and Physical Wall, with access to unique attributes such as Obstruct, Parting Shot, reliable recovery in Slack Off, and boosting moves in Swords Dance or Nasty Plot to fill a unique set of roles on any given team. It has a combination of Obstruct and Pursuit to lower the opponent's defense and proceed to Pursuit trap them in return. This strategy hinges on the player's prediction, as the -2 defense will almost certainly spell danger for those who were attacking Dusk, and players must choose whether they believe the opponent will switch and go for Pursuit, or if they think the opponent will stay in and take the risk, and can afford to use a stronger attack, whether it be Sucker Punch, or Knock Off, or something else of the like. Parting Shot allows it to be a good Defensive Pivot, and Knock Off is always a good utility option to have. Lastly, Prankster gives it reliability when using status moves, and allows it to more easily spread it's status around and overall wear other Pokemon down.
The Unburden + Shell Smash combo is very problematic also, one of the two components most definitely will have to go.
Just to let you know we already have a special Dragon Electric type, so if you decide to keep this typing I request making it much more distinct from it (Thundy-T).

What Separates it from Other Forms: with moves from all of the other forms, its good stats let it do different things, while also keeping it from beeing too strong. it doesnt have the same longevity as some of the other forms, but it dos have Recover to help with that.

What Separates it from Other Forms: it can trap opposing pokemon with Magma Storm, tho it comes off its lower attacking stat, it has good special defense but lower physical bulk and a poor defensive typing keep it from beeing too OP. it hits hard with Gunk Shot or Poison Jab if you dont want to risk a miss, Fire Lash and can spread burns with will o wisp. recover gives it nice longevity.

What Separates it from Other Forms: has good longevity with Recover, can pivot out with U-Turn and isnt too slow. gear grind lets it do nice damage while not fearing focus sash, wich isnt too useful considering nothing runs it but hey atleast its boosted by tough claws. can do nice damage with icicle crash or ice punch if you dont wanna risk the miss, and has ice shard for if you wanna get off a KO without beeing outsped and KO'd due to its base 110 speed.

Genesect Overdrive makes me a bit uncomfortable tbh. Its so fast it can afford to go Modest, and then flex it's pretty great coverage. It feels like way too good of a revengekiller rn sorry.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Nova
Stat Changes: 82 / 105 / 75 / 105 / 75 / 118 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Flash FIre | *Overload (HA)
*Overload - Halves self-inflicted move damage. Does not apply to item- or ability-related damage. Does apply to self KO moves (now reduce HP by 50% rounded up).
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Mind Blown, Flare Blitz, Meteor Mash, -Ice Beam, Blizzard, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Techno Blast, Shift Gear,
What Separates it from Other Forms: Very fast and pretty tough to switch into, but it kills itself, and any damage it takes reduces the number of moves it can get off. Having physical and special potential increases the threat it poses. Explosion will be its strongest possible attack, but cuts its HP by 50%. It can struggle if the opponent has healthy counters, as it can't chip them down without also chipping itself. However it should be powerful in the lategame or against a more offensive matchup.

*Stored Energy - Electric-type Stored Power clone.
What Separates it from Other Forms: Revenge killer, Pikachu slayer, and possible setup sweeper. Having to respect multiple options should make it harder to deal with. Stored Energy sets may seem impossible due to the low defenses, but don't underestimate the power of outspeeding everything with Calm Mind and Iron Defense (for instance it 1v1's Zamazenta with Weakness Policy and Iron Defense). All sets appreciate Energy Ball and Ice Beam giving it solid anti-Ground coverage in the current meta. It would also make a great Electric Terrain abuser with its high Speed, coverage, and Rising Voltage. That said, it has certain obvious flaws like low bulk and mediocre power (outside of situational Electric-type nukes).

Movepool Changes (If Any): Freeze Dry, Icicle Spear, Meteor Mash, Earth Power, -Shift Gear, Techno Blast, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Blaze Kick
What Separates it from Other Forms: A hyper-bulky pivot with an odd type that works for it thanks to an ability that basically adds a resistance to every type. Freeze Dry + Earth Power gives it some of the best 2-move coverage you could ask for. Freeze Dry / Earth Power / Toxic / U-turn with maximum bulk investment would probably be a very useful pivot. However, all damage inflicted to it will be permanent thanks to its ability, and it has two nasty 4x weaknesses, so it should be fair for most teams to deal with.

What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful attacker with Flare Boost, Steam Eruption, and good coverage moves in Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Flamethrower. It can also go for Shift Gear; while its attack isn't phenomenal, it should have an easy time setting up and hitting whatever Speed tier it needs to.

Technoblast is 90 PP now and it goes from the user's higher attack stat. Steel-type for the normal forme.They need no drives lol
Edit 1: Lowered their BST by 10 points each and removed Quiver Dance
Edit 2: Gave base form Quiver Dance and redistributed stats from Water Gun and base
Similar to how multi attack was changed, I also wanna edit techno blast.
Move: Techno Blast
Effect: Type changes to match user's secondary type.
BP: 110

Accuracy: 95%
PP: 15 (24)
Category: Special
Properties: Ballistic
New Pokémon Name: Genesect
Stat Changes: 72/100/90/90/90/100
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Tinted Lens
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Extreme Speed -Shift Gear -All fire moves
What Separates it from Other Forms: Tinted lens breaker that can pivot out of its counters with u turn. A specs set with techno blast would be difficult to switch into
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Bullet (Burn)
Stats: 100/80/90/90/90/92
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: High-Powered Gun (Multiply ballistic moves bp by 1.3)
Movepool Changes (If Any): -All bug moves -Extreme Speed -All Ice Moves -All electric moves +Focus Blast + Aura sphere +Taunt ~~Flash cannon is now Ballistic~~
What Separates it from Other Forms: Strong special coverage and good typing let's it be a breaker of sorts that provide some stall breaking utility as well.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Frostmore
Stats: 84/92/80/70/80/105
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Power Kick (kicking moves have their bp multipled by 1.3)
Category:Kicking moves | Pokémon Wiki | Fandom
Movepool Changes (If Any): -All Fire Moves except blaze kick, -U-turn, -Techno blast -Extreme speed -All Electric Moves +Triple Axel +Low Kick +Double Kick (now 40 bp and hits twice)
What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful kicks. Another breaker.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Base
Stat Changes: 100/110/50/130/120/40 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Analytic
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Gear Grind, +Gyro Ball, +Heavy Slam, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
-Flamethrower, -Ice Beam
+Curse, +Spikes
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect base is meant to be a strong Special Wall with Analytic that plays similarly to a more offensive version of Forretress. It's low speed combined with Gyro Ball and Analytic, as well as access to decent coverage in Thunderbolt allows it to act as an offensively powerful wall whose low Speed is it's greatest strength. U-Turn is also good to be used as a pivoting move, and is a good source of chip for it's teammates to take advantage of. Lastly, it acts as a great Trick Room abuser; though it loses the boost it gets from Analytic, it trades it in for being able to move first, which is already in it of itself a great perk, especially combined with Base's movepool and great attacking stats.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Flame (Burn)
Stat Changes: 70/95/85/95/85/120 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Tumultuous*
Movepool Changes (If Any):This Pokemon's Atk and SpA are 1.5x and the accuracy of it's physical and special attacks are 0.8x.
+First Impression, +Flare Blitz, +Megahorn, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
+Overheat, -Blizzard, -Shock Wave, -Thunderbolt
+Hone Mind*, -Shift Gear, -Thunder Wave
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Flame is an effective Set-Up sweeper and breaker with it's ability combined with access to accuracy and power boosting moves and high speed to deal explosive damage. Flare Blitz and Megahorn are very powerful STAB attacks, and Overheat and Bug Buzz are very good STAB options on the special side too. With Hone Claws and Hone Mind(WIP), Flame can bypass the accuracy drop that is the side effect of Tumultuous. Flame gets worn down very quickly however, Flare Blitz as well as 4x weak to Rocks, so one has to keep that in mind.Name: Hone Mind (Big WIP, this is a pretty stupid name ngl)
Type:
Category:
Base Power: -
Power Point: 24
Accuracy: -
Secondary Effects: Raises the user's Sp. Atk and accuracy by 1.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Stone (Chill)
Stat Changes: 70/90/110/90/100/90 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Unburden
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Body Press, +Bulldoze, +Stone Edge, -Blaze Kick, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed
+Ancient Power, +Meteor Beam, +Power Gem, -Thunder, -Thunderbolt
+Agility, +Heal Order, +Rapid Spin, +Stealth Rock, -Hone Claws, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Stone is a Shell Smash sweeper with access to decent bulk and healing if one wishes not to run Shell Smash. With Shell Smash it becomes a potent offensive threat, and access to Stealth Rock and utility carves it a niche without it, especially with Rapid Spin to prevent hazards from being set up as well as a good speed increase. Unburden gives it some nice synergy with Meteor Beam, which is a STAB rock type move that Stone can use.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Earth (Douse)
Stat Changes: 80/65/100/100/105/100 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Intimidate
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Knock Off
+Infestation, +Leaf Storm, +Sludge Bomb, -Flamethrower
+Calm Mind, +Defog, +Leech Seed, +Sticky Web, +Strength Sap, +Synthesis, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Earth tries to salvage one of the worst defensive typings in the game and give it a defensive role. Access to Sticky Web, Leech Seed, Strength Sap, and Knock Off give it good utility; Sticky Web as a vital hazard setter, Strength Sap to cripple physical attackers even more, and Knock Off for that general utility. It's combined with Intimidate, allowing it to switch into several neutral offensive attacks and pivot around them with it's high Speed. Synthesis acts as a reliable recovery option and adds to Earth's longevity. It can even potentially run a Special attacking stat, as 100 Special Attack with 100 Speed and access to Calm Mind allows it to potentially be a decent sweeper, though it's lack of a good dual-type STAB is what holds it back the most from being a truly effective sweeper.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Dusk (Shock)
Stat Changes: 80/90/105/90/75/110 (550 BST)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Prankster
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Knock Off, +Pursuit, +Sucker Punch, -Explosion, -Extreme Speed, -Flame Charge
+Snarl, -Psychic, -Thunderbolt
+Bulk Up, +Calm Mind, +Nasty Plot, +Obstruct, +Parting Shot, +Slack Off, +Swords Dance, +Taunt, -Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect Dusk is meant to be a premiere Stallbreaker and Physical Wall, with access to unique attributes such as Obstruct, Parting Shot, reliable recovery in Slack Off, and boosting moves in Swords Dance or Nasty Plot to fill a unique set of roles on any given team. It has a combination of Obstruct and Pursuit to lower the opponent's defense and proceed to Pursuit trap them in return. This strategy hinges on the player's prediction, as the -2 defense will almost certainly spell danger for those who were attacking Dusk, and players must choose whether they believe the opponent will switch and go for Pursuit, or if they think the opponent will stay in and take the risk, and can afford to use a stronger attack, whether it be Sucker Punch, or Knock Off, or something else of the like. Parting Shot allows it to be a good Defensive Pivot, and Knock Off is always a good utility option to have. Lastly, Prankster gives it reliability when using status moves, and allows it to more easily spread it's status around and overall wear other Pokemon down.

Typing Changes:

New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Type-δ
Stat Changes: 71 / 75 / 75 / 75 / 75 / 129 [BST: 500]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Galvanize | Psychic Surge (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Calm Mind, Expanding Force, Psychic Fangs, Psyshock, Volt Switch, Zing Zap, - Extreme Speed, Shift Gear
What Separates it from Other Forms: A dual screen setter with Galvanize Explosion for suicide lead and Volt Switch for pivoting, also can setup with CM or HC.Name: Techno Blast
Type:
Category:
Base Power: 70
Power Point: 8
Accuracy: 100%
Secondary Effects: Physical if it would be stronger. Activates Embargo and Heal Block on the target.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Nova
Stat Changes: 82 / 105 / 75 / 105 / 75 / 118 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Flash FIre | *Overload (HA)
*Overload - Halves self-inflicted move damage. Does not apply to item- or ability-related damage. Does apply to self KO moves (now reduce HP by 50% rounded up).
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Mind Blown, Flare Blitz, Meteor Mash, -Ice Beam, Blizzard, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Techno Blast, Shift Gear,
What Separates it from Other Forms: Very fast and pretty tough to switch into, but it kills itself, and any damage it takes reduces the number of moves it can get off. Having physical and special potential increases the threat it poses. Explosion will be its strongest possible attack, but cuts its HP by 50%. It can struggle if the opponent has healthy counters, as it can't chip them down without also chipping itself. However it should be powerful in the lategame or against a more offensive matchup.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Blaster
Stat Changes: 100 / 100 / 80 / 100 / 80 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Motor Drive | Sturdy (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): *Shock Cannon, Doom Desire, Volt Switch, Rising Voltage, Wild Charge, Meteor Mash, -Techno Blast, Shift Gear, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, Giga Drain
*Shock Blaster - 40 BP - Special - Electric type - 5-8 PP - hits three times. If the user's last move was Charge, single hit, 240 base power, breaks Protect.
What Separates it from Other Forms: Based on the trope of the charge-up shot, the idea was to give it the tools to craft a no-win turn against your opponent. I decided to remove Grass coverage so the rather common Slowbro can serve as an impediment to it, or at least force it to run Hidden Power to deal with it. Pretty cheesy but hopefully fun to use.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Superconductor
Stat Changes: 80 / 120 / 70 / 120 / 70 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Ice Scales | *Impossible Cold (HA)
*Impossible Cold - Doubles both defenses, but prevents all healing (for the user).
Movepool Changes (If Any): Freeze Dry, Icicle Spear, Meteor Mash, Earth Power, -Shift Gear, Techno Blast, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Blaze Kick
What Separates it from Other Forms: A hyper-bulky pivot with an odd type that works for it thanks to an ability that basically adds a resistance to every type. Freeze Dry + Earth Power gives it some of the best 2-move coverage you could ask for. Freeze Dry / Earth Power / Toxic / U-turn with maximum bulk investment would probably be a very useful pivot. However, all damage inflicted to it will be permanent thanks to its ability, and it has two nasty 4x weaknesses, so it should be fair for most teams to deal with.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Pressurized
Stat Changes: 70 / 100 / 95 / 100 / 95 / 100 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Water Absorb | Flare Boost (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Steam Eruption, Scald, Liquidation, Meteor Mash, -Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Techno Blast
What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful attacker with Flare Boost, Steam Eruption, and good coverage moves in Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Flamethrower. It can also go for Shift Gear; while its attack isn't phenomenal, it should have an easy time setting up and hitting whatever Speed tier it needs to.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Network
Stat Changes: 70 / 110 / 80 / 110 / 80 / 110 [BST: 560]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Swarm | Punk Rock (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): Techno Blast is now Steel type. +Meteor Mash
What Separates it from Other Forms: The only one of the group without any wacky downsides. It can do most of what a normal Genesect can do, but it trades the broken Download ability for a 120 BP Steel STAB and a 117 BP Bug STAB.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Beta (Base)
Stat Changes: 85/125/115/65/75/85 (550 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel
Ability Changes: Compound Eyes/(Mirror Armor)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Meteor Mash, +Stone Edge, +Wild Charge, -All bug moves except Signal Beam
What Separates it from Other Forms: Powerful Shift Gear sweeper. Its mediocre speed is patched up and it also gets a nice attack boost. It can pair this with either fully accurate Meteor Mashes, Stone Edges and Blaze Kicks with Compound Eyes or Mirror Armor to bounce back Intimidates. The main issue Genesect-Beta runs into is coverage. It can run Stone Edge for Fire types, Blaze Kick for Steels and Wild Charge for waters, but, out of these, only Stone Edge is a legitimately good option, and it can't run all 3 of those moves as well as Meteor Mash and Shift Gear on one set. It also can't hit slowbro and most electric types, meaning these checks have to be seriously weakened. But, overall, Genesect-Beta can be a terrifying sweeper when setup at the right time.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Molten (Burn)
Stat Changes: 70/80/135/90/95/50 (520 BST)
Typing Changes: Bug/Fire
Ability Changes: Drought/(Flash Fire)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Fire Blast, +Flare Blitz, +Flame Burst, +Lava Plume, +Morning Sun, +Mystical Fire, +Rapid Spin, +Will-o-Wisp, -Blizzard, -Energy Ball, -Ice Beam
What Separates it from Other Forms: Genesect-Molten uses its interesting defensive typing to deal with some of the format's physical attackers such as Zacian-Crowned and Rotom-Mow. It uses Morning Sun as its recovery which heals more health when sun is up thanks to Genesect-Molten's Drought, but will heal less in other weathers and also only has 8 power points when compared to other recovery options. It has some utility options in the form of U-Turn to keep up momentum, Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers and Rapid Spin to relieve hazard pressure. It also has Mystical Fire which lowers opponent's special attack, which could potentially allow it to wall special attackers despite its lower bulk. It uses Drought to weaken its water weakness and boost its recovery. Its 4x weakness to rock makes it a mediocre sun setter for sun teams, though it's probably useable.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect
Stat Changes: 75/105/105/120/80/100 (585 BST)
Typing Changes: Bug/Steel
Ability Changes: Mirror Armor
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Shift Gear, -Extreme Speed +Volt Switch, +Flip Turn, +Poison Jab, +Icicle Crash, +Recover
What Separates it from Other Forms: with moves from all of the other forms, its good stats let it do different things, while also keeping it from beeing too strong. it doesnt have the same longevity as some of the other forms, but it dos have Recover to help with that.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Volcano
Stat Changes: 80/120/90/105/120/90 (600 BST)
Typing Changes: Poison/Fire
Ability Changes: Volcanic Ashes*
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Ice Beam, -Flash Cannon, -U-Turn, -Shift Gear, -Extreme Speed, +Magma Storm, +Poison Jab, +Sludge Wave, +Sludge Bomb, +Fire Lash, +Will-o-Wisp, +RecoverThis Pokemon's fire moves gain a 20% chance to poison the target.
What Separates it from Other Forms: it can trap opposing pokemon with Magma Storm, tho it comes off its lower attacking stat, it has good special defense but lower physical bulk and a poor defensive typing keep it from beeing too OP. it hits hard with Gunk Shot or Poison Jab if you dont want to risk a miss, Fire Lash and can spread burns with will o wisp. recover gives it nice longevity.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Zero
Stat Changes: 90/105/120/90/85/110 (600 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel/Ice
Ability Changes: Tough Claws
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Blaze Kick, -Flamethrower, -Flame Charge, -Extreme Speed, -Shift Gear +Icicle Crash, +Ice Punch, +Ice Shard, +Gear Grind, +Recover
What Separates it from Other Forms: has good longevity with Recover, can pivot out with U-Turn and isnt too slow. gear grind lets it do nice damage while not fearing focus sash, wich isnt too useful considering nothing runs it but hey atleast its boosted by tough claws. can do nice damage with icicle crash or ice punch if you dont wanna risk the miss, and has ice shard for if you wanna get off a KO without beeing outsped and KO'd due to its base 110 speed.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Abyss
Stat Changes: 105/85/90/120/120/90 (600 BST)
Typing Changes: Dark/Water
Ability Changes: Abyssal Force*
Movepool Changes (If Any): -All Fire Moves, -Flash Cannon, -U-Turn, -Shift Gear, -Extreme Speed, +Hydro Pump, +Flip Turn, +Water Shuriken, +Crunch, +Darkest LariatThis Pokemon's Dark moves torment the target.
What Separates it from Other Forms: it has good coverage, just like the other forms, however this one's a bulky water type, meaning its bulkier than Genesect-Zeus. it can tank hits well thanks to its 105/90/120 bulk and hit back with any of its moves. flip turn is good, and it can torment you with Dark Pulse.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Zeus
Stat Changes: 100/80/110/105/120/90 (600 BST)
Typing Changes: Dragon/Electric
Ability Changes: Teravolt
Movepool Changes (If Any): -All Steel and Bug Moves except U-Turn -Extreme Speed, +Dragon Claw, +Dragon Pulse, +Rising Voltage, +Scale Shot, +Outrage, +Wild Charge, +Volt Switch
What Separates it from Other Forms: Bulky Pokemon with alot of coverage and VoltTurn, slow-ish, but hits hard with specs and its STAB moves. it can also ignore abilities with its own, Teravolt.

This is gonna be a spectacular voting slate, I love how out there all of the submitters are this round.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Over-Engineered (Burn)
Stat Changes: 95 / 84 / 110 / 74 / 110 / 70 (543 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel
Ability Changes: Good Wi-Fi
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Extreme Speed, -Shift Gear, +RecoverOn switch-in, this Pokemon's higher attacking stat is raised.
What Separates it from Other Forms: While Intrepid Sword for either offenses sounds ridiculous, its low speed and offenses balance it out and make for an interesting offensive Pokemon with good bulk and recovery.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Under-engineered (Chill)
Stat Changes: 130 / 80 / 95 / 30 / 100 / 30 (465 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel
Ability Changes: Bad Wi-Fi
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Extreme Speed, -Shift Gear, +RecoverOn switch-in, all Pokemon on the field have their speed lowered by one stage.
What Separates it from Other Forms: With its unique ability lowering the speed of the entire field and U-Turn for pivoting, its longevity and good defensive typing allow it to be a unique pivot that can easily grab momentum.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-Password (Douse)
Stat Changes: 85 / 110 / 75 / 110 / 75 / 110 (555 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel / Bug
Ability Changes: Private Wi-Fi
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Shift GearThis Pokemon's secondary type changes correlating to the Drive it is holding. If the opponent share's a type with this Pokemon, this Pokemon and the opposing Pokemon have their respective highest stat raised.
What Separates it from Other Forms: Password makes the user think more about their plays and switches, but with its high offenses and the bulk to live at least one hit, Password has the possibility to end a game the moment its sent out. While the ability is powerful, the opponent also gets a stat boost in their highest stat, making it a risky Pokemon to send in.
New Pokémon Name: Genesect-No-Password (Shock)
Stat Changes: 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 (600 BST)
Typing Changes: Steel
Ability Changes: Public Wi-Fi
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Shift GearOn switch-in, the opponent's lowest stat is raised and this Pokemon has the same stat raised.
What Separates it from Other Forms: With its overall good stats and versatile movepool, its ability that lets it boost its offenses on wall or defenses in the face of offensive Pokemon, No Password is an insanely versatile Pokemon that is able to use its unique ability in the best way possible, gaining boosts to perfectly adapt to the opposing Pokemon
Side Note: I'll add more detailed descriptions later, and if I have time, I'll code the abilities as well.
I know the coders are gonna have a field day with multiple versions of Techno Blast.
