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-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-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.
Precipice Blades here, the effect naturally would not work because you can't hit what you would want to smack down. Even if it did work, we would run into the problem of having Thousand Arrows clones running around. I shouldn't have to explain why thats a bad idea. So I suggest retooling that (or retyping it).

What Separates it from Other Forms: bulky Shore Up user that can annoy defensive teams with natural cure letting it cure itself of status such as burn or poison. and can annoy flyings with precipice blade's smack down effect. overall, bulky mon with recovery and other good things to it.85 BP, 16 PP, 90% accuracy, has Smack Down effect.

Typing Changes: Ground/Fire
Ability Changes: Desolate Land
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Morning Sun, +Precipice Blades*, +Flare Blitz, +Fire Lash, +Power Gem, -Eruption
What Separates it from Other Forms: good Morning Sun user because well... it has Desoland, Fire Lash is good for annoying high defense mons by lowering their defense to KO them. Flare Blitz for huge damage, and Power Gem so it has a good rock move for special/mixed sets.

What Separates it from Other Forms: a pokemon that normally can't hit water types, that now has a way to sorta deal with them with thunder fang. its Hunter ability is great, allowing it to hit water types for huge damage, with 110 Atk keeping it from straight up OHKOing them. also a rain setter. dos huge damage with its fang moves thanks to strong jaw. good coverage breaker85 BP, 16 PP, 100% Accuracy, based on user's highest attacking stat.

What Separates it from Other Forms: TBA
Particularly for the Primals. I appreciate the concept, but I think they definitely need some help in the stat department, because the abilities are not as great as you think they are. Groudon is either too slow OR too frail to ever get going. In fact its too slow regardless but but it needs plenty more speed or some speed and plenty more bulk to pull off what it wants. Kyogre is somewhat similar, but less necessary. Needs a little more speed, but only a slight bump in power.

Stat Changes: 110/125/110/125/65/65 (600)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Desolate Land
What Separates it from Other Forms: Groudon-Primal has good physical bulk and great attacking stats alongside a sun boost for its Fire STAB and removed 4x weakness in Water. On top of that, its new signature move is a weaker version of G-Max Vocalith. Those are really good traits, but it has some serious downsides. Its Special Defense and Speed are really bad and it is Stealth Rock weak with no recovery. And while Desolate Land removes one 4x weakness, it doesn't remove the other. Ground moves are everywhere in this meta, so it is threatened by every corner. It has really extremely good traits, which are balanced out by its very bad traits.Rock Wrecker, Magma Rocks

Ability Changes: Primordial Sea
What Separates it from Other Forms: Kyogre-Primal has well-rounded stats to go alongside its wide movepool and good typing. There is a lack of Grass-types right now, with the only ones being Silvally-Grass and Rotom-Mow. Kyogre-Primal has a niche over them as a Grass-type that isn't weak to Fire and Ice and can beat the former and is immune to it thanks to Primordial Sea. Furthermore, it is more specially oriented and does a better job than the other two, due to Silvally's bad coverage on the special side and Rotom's physical nature. Of course, there are some drawbacks to Kyogre-Primal. It isn't resistant to Grass and Electric and it is the slowest Grass-type. It also lacks recovery and great boosting moves, so Silvally will outlast it with its Terrain and Recover while Rotom can boost up more effectively.Power Whip, Wood Hammer

What Separates it from Other Forms: Goodbye Darm. Groudon is a very fat wall with a mediocre typing but great bulk and access to Solid Rock to make up for it. It also has Stealth Rock and Recovery as well as a solid attack stat to make it not passive and Dragon Tail for phazing utility. While purely defensive sets will probably be the best, I could see this running Assault Vest despite lacking regenerator. Its overall bulk with vest is pretty incredible and it has some scary attacking moves and a high attack stat to pair with it while Dragon Tail also offers phazing utility. However, it loses access to rocks and recovery. Anyway, Groudon is a fat wall despite its mediocre defensive typing.
