Good luck to everyone who participated!
And a hint towards next slate....expect Weather Wars and Alolan Forms!
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Assassin
Stat Changes: 80/115/60/110/115/100 | BST: 600
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Sniper | Merciless (HA)
Movepool Changes: +Toxic Spikes, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Scale Shot, Focus Energy, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, -Recover, Psycho Boost, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Energy Ball,
Reasoning: A setup wall breaker that uses Nasty Plot or Focus Energy to boost Draco Meteor to incredible levels of damage. It has good coverage options for Steel and Fairy, making it pretty hard to wall, although it will have to make some choices between STAB and coverage to hit everything. Physical sets are also a possibility with moves like Knock Off, Extreme Speed, and Superpower.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Tank
Stat Changes: 80/110/125/105/105/60 | BST: 585
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Guts | Soul Heart (HA)
Movepool Changes: +Swords Dance, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Outrage, Dragon Hammer, Stored Power, Earthquake, Body Press, -Extreme Speed, Stealth Rock, Spikes,
Reasoning: A stall breaker designed to punish more passive teams by setting up on them. Its typing leaves it susceptible to revenge killing and status, but depending on the set it should be able to pose a problem if it gets in on a defensive pokemon. I think Guts + Swords Dance would be the bread and butter with Iron Defense + Body Press or Calm Mind + Soul Heart sets having the potential to pick different counters if need be.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Gem
Stat Changes: 60/115/75/115/75/110 | BST: 550
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Life Gem - Increases damage by 30%, but takes 10% damage each time it uses an attacking move
Movepool Changes: +Meteor Beam, Stone Edge, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Outrage, Dragon Claw, Scale Shot, U-turn, Explosion, -Thunderbolt, Thunder
Reasoning: A glass cannon with insanely powerful attacks, which should be sufficient to put pressure on defensive teams with pivoting support. It would naturally run Choice items, Z-Crystals, or Power Herb to maximize its immediate damage. Darmanitan-Zen and Crowned Doggos pose an issue for it, although Trick can mess them up. It can also use Spikes on the switch if the opponent has a good wall for it.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Germ
Stat Changes: 100/135/90/100/80/80 | BST: 585
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Moxie / Natural Cure | Solar Power HA)
Movepool Changes: +Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Leech Seed, Power Whip, Grassy Glide, Giga Drain, Outrage, Dragon Hammer, Scale Shot, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Earthquake, Weather Ball, Synthesis, -Spikes, Fire Punch, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Recover
Reasoning: Pretty straightforward Dragon Dance or Swords Dance + Scale Shot sweeper. It has great stats and movepool for the role, having good STAB moves, high Atk, solid bulk, and just enough Speed to make it work. The typing is not ideal for the role defensively or offensively, but it has the one massive perk of beating Slowbro, who is an important physical wall.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys
Stat Changes: 50 / 80 / 85 / 80 / 85 / 110 [BST: 490]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Pressure | Power Core (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Boomburst, Explosion, Last Resort, Rapid Spin, Swords Dance, Toxic Spikes
What Separates it from Other Forms: A fast wall with Eviolite as an Ability. Can set a lot of hazards. STAB Explosion and Espeed are also considerable to use.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Attack
Stat Changes: 50 / 100 / 85 / 140 / 85 / 80 [BST: 540]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Pressure | Power Core (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Gunk Shot, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Swords Dance, Toxic Spikes, Venoshock
What Separates it from Other Forms: A wallbreaker that'll either has LO as an Ability or setup sweeper with NP or SD.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Defense
Stat Changes: 50 / 100 / 125 / 60 / 125 / 80 [BST: 540]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Pressure | Power Core (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Bulk Up, Freeze-Dry, Ice Hammer, Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, Swords Dance
What Separates it from Other Forms: A wall with Leftover as an Ability. Also can run Pressure with setup move + Recover.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Speed
Stat Changes: 50 / 90 / 85 / 90 / 85 / 140 [BST: 540]
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Pressure | Power Core (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Fire Blast, Fire Lash, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Overheat, Swords Dance
What Separates it from Other Forms: A fast setup sweeper. It also has Boots as an Ability, so it's considerable to be used over Pressure.
Name: Power Core
Effects: This Pokemon's stat stages can't be raised or lowered by any effect.
- If Deoxys(-Base), this Pokemon's Defense and Sp. Def are 1.5x.
- If Deoxys-Attack, 1.3x attack power, and loses 1/10 max HP after the attack.
- If Deoxys-Defense, heals 1/16 max HP at the end of every turn.
- If Deoxys-Speed, this Pokemon is unaffected by hazards on its side of the field.
Short Description: This Pokemon's stat can't be raised or lowered. If Deoxys Form, has different effect for each Form respectively.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-The Rock
Stat Changes: 80/110/130/70/75/85 (550 BST)
Typing Changes: Fighting/Rock
Ability Changes: Defiant
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Close Combat, Stone Edge, Bulk Up -Psychic Moves, Meteor Mash, Extreme Speed, Throat Chop
What Separates it from Other Forms: a bulky, kinda slow set up sweeper Deoxys thats not frail enough to be OHKO'd by most attacks.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Stealth
Stat Changes: 70/80/95/90/105/110 (550 BST)
Typing Changes: Dark
Ability Changes: Illusion
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Night Daze, Darkest Lariat, Parting Shot, Work Up, -Nasty Plot, Superpower
What Separates it from Other Forms: fast speedy pokemon that can attempt to sweep with Calm Mind, or do big damage with Choice Specs. Illusion gives it a surprise factor, and Parting Shot gives it a way to pivot out quickly.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Magician
Stat Changes: 95/75/75/110/110/105 (570 BST)
Typing Changes: Psychic/Normal
Ability Changes: Magic Guard
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Extreme Speed, Nasty Plot
What Separates it from Other Forms: with Extreme Speed and Nasty Plot gone, it still has alot going for it due to its movepool with wide coverage, but its stats keep it from beeing too strong for the meta. its a good Calm Mind sweeper.
Screw trying to keep faithful to the original concept! (well, mostly anyway)
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Wood
Stat Changes: 100/105/80/105/90/60 (540)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Flower Veil, Triage (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Horn Leech, +U-turn
+Giga Drain, +Leaf Storm, +Secret Sword, -Psycho Boost
+Bulk Up, +Leech Seed, +Synthesis, -Nasty Plot, -Recover, -Spikes, -Stealth Rock, -Teleport
What Separates it from Other Forms: Strong attacker that can use priority recovery moves with Triage and healing for good bulk, or can soak up status with Flower Veil to stallbreak and pivot. Because of this, Deoxys-Wood ends up being a good stallbreaker and revenge killer. Priority in strong attacks like Horn Leech, Giga Drain, and Drain Punch allow it to revenge kill common sweepers, like Dugtrio, Darmanitan, and the Silvally forms that use Choice Items, like Silvally Water or Silvally Ground, or practically any of the Choice users that don't have any priority. Flower Veil alternatively, as stated before, can soak up status well and allows Deoxys-Wood to be a surprisingly decent Stallbreaker, with reliable recovery and Bulk Up it can set up in the face of walls and force them to switch in fear of gaining a lot of power.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Gem
Stat Changes: 100/50/80/110/110/90 (540)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Solid Rock, Unburden (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Rapid Spin
+Meteor Beam, +Moonblast, +Power Gem, -Psycho Boost
+Moonlight, -Nasty Plot, -Recover, -Spikes, -Teleport
What Separates it from Other Forms: Semi-fast Unburden mon that pairs well with Meteor Beam and has utility with Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock. Can make use of Solid Rock to take a more specially defensive wall approach. These unique characteristics give it 3 distinct niches; a decent Stealth Rock setter, a good wall with it's unique type combination, Recovery, and utility with Rapid Spin, and an excellent Set-Up Sweeper with Meteor Beam. Unburden turns it's paltry speed of 306 (252+ Timid Nature) to 612 upon the activation of the ability, which allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted meta, and combined with Meteor Beam gives it incredible sweeping potential.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Charm
Stat Changes: 145/120/125/80/55/35 (540)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Sticky Hold, Mind Over Body* (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any):This Pokemon becomes immune to status moves, however this Pokemon's Attack stat is halved.
+Body Press, +Play Rough
+Moonblast, -Psycho Boost
+Iron Defense, +Toxic Spikes
What Separates it from Other Forms: Deoxys-Charm is a big wall that can set up hazards, status, and is bothered little by Knock Off. It's one of the only Pokemon in the entire meta that has access to Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes, and it's able to set itself apart from other walls by being able to absorb Knock Off and being able to use Trick Room effectively. Deoxys Charm is used as a Trick Room setter, as it is a rare mon that can fit Trick Room onto it's moveset and can include 3 attacking moves since it has the power to take advantage of it and the bulk to set it up. Mind Over Body allows it to become an excellent wall, as it becomes immune to both status and Taunt, however it's forced into passivity, relying on Body Press as it's sole way of dealing damaging due to it's Attack stat being halved, and having to run Toxic to chip down the opponent, or running a Special set in response to the attack drop. It also can no longer tank Knock Off.
New Pokémon Name: Deoxys-Sludge
Stat Changes: 90/80/110/80/80/100 (540)
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Corrosion, Prankster (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any):
+Body Press, +Gunk Shot, +Pursuit, +Sucker Punch, +U-turn
+Sludge Bomb, +Snarl, +Venoshock, -Psycho Boost
+Baneful Bunker, +Bulk Up, +Obstruct, +Parting Shot, +Slack Off, +Swords Dance, +Toxic Spikes, -Recover, -Stealth Rock, -Teleport
What Separates it from Other Forms: Fast and somewhat bulky physical wall, as it has Slack Off and U-Turn for pivoting and it can use mind games with Obstruct + Pursuit and is one of the fastest spikes setters in the meta at the moment. Deoxys-Sludge now becomes a premiere stallbreaker, as its immune to Toxic and can absorb Toxic Spikes and is decently bulky with a fast Taunt and a fast Parting Shot for pivot usage. This Pokemon uses predictions with Obstruct, or conversely with Baneful Bunker to either Poison or lower the opponent's defense in combination with Venoshock or Pursuit (or some other strong Physical attack). Prankster gives it greater reliability in setting status and wearing Pokemon down. As stated before, it can use Corrosion alternatively to spread status around combined with Venoshock. As it has Nasty Plot, it can end up being a massive threat on a worn down or statused team, and can end up sweeping if the conditions are right.
