Pet Mod Alternatium - Post PMPL Rework

[Ema Skye]

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam-Moldy-Pizza
Stat Changes: 110 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 85 / 65
Typing Changes: Bug/Poison
Ability Changes: Sticky Hold / Cheek Pouch
Movepool Changes (If Any): -Ground moves, -Rock Moves, +Sludge Bomb, +Sludge Wave, +Venoshock, +Toxic Spikes, +Sticky Web, +Toxic Thread, +U-Turn, +Shore Up
What Separates it from Other Forms: Dual hazard mon that functions as a defensive pivot due to koff-proof boots. Possibly works as a QD breaker though it's dual STAB is pretty bad.

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam-Sandy
Stat Changes: 80 / 109 / 145 / 69 / 75 / 66 (544)
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Thick Fat / Dry Skin / Overcoat (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +First Impression, Taunt, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, High Horsepower, Drill Run, Shore Up, Sticky Web, U-Turn, Crafty Shield
What Separates it from Other Forms: Wormadam-Sandy can act as a check to many water types such as Rotom-Wash or Primal Kyogre with its Dry Skin ability, and setup hazards to punish them. Thick Fat is also really well for tanking hits from Manustorm and Darmanitan-Galar. I think it'd be a great addition to have a bulky webs user, so here's one.

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam-Trash
Stat Changes: 50 / 100 / 135 / 100 / 135 / 24 (544)
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Sturdy / Regenerator / Overcoat (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Body Press, Explosion, Self-Destruct, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Knock Off, Thunder Wave, Steel Beam, Crafty Shield
What Separates it from Other Forms: Wormadam-Trash acts as a hazard + Explosion lead, that it can utilize Sturdy + Explosion for success. It's very bulky, and has Regenerator which allows it to switch back in and set more hazards when it needs too. I thought having a complete hazard-stacking pokemon would be cool.

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam
Stat Changes: 80 / 69 / 75 / 109 / 145 / 66 (544)
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Flower Veil / Own Tempo / Overcoat (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Petal Dance, Sticky Web, Floral Healing, Flower Shield, Aromatherapy, Powder, Parting Shot, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Apple Acid, Weather Ball, Leech Seed, Earth Power, Crafty Shield
What Separates it from Other Forms: Bug/Grass is a pretty awkward typing offensively and defensively, however, there are some interesting things you can do with it. For one, having Flower Veil allows it to setup more reliably, without having to worry about damage from status conditions. Being designed with flowers over it, I thought giving it Sleep Powder would make it even more threatening to face since wormadam is pretty bad, though it can still be walled by defensive checks like Rotom-Fan. If you decide to go on the full offensive, Own Tempo and Petal Dance can deal some pretty high damage without the drawback of confusion, and Apple Acid works well for a pokemon without much coverage, allowing it to chip its foes more easily.

 

[G-Luke]

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam
Stat Changes: 80 / 75 / 81 / 112 / 143 / 44 (535)
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Tinted Lens / Dry Skin / Overcoat (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Powder, +Spore, +Strength Sap, +Earth Power, +Spiky Shield, +Leech Seed, +Aromatherapy, +Synthesis, +U-turn
What Separates it from Other Forms:
Wormadam has a bad typing. Instead of trying to necessarily patch up its weaknesses, I decided to take the few strengths it has and dial them up to eleven. 80/81/143 bulk is great, and Tinted Lens makes its rather shit offensive typing somewhat easier to play with. Real kicker here is Spore, giving it the niche as the sole reliable sleep inducer in the tier.

Excuse the out of place question, but, alternate forms that interact with specific mechanics (such as Mimikyu, Cramorant, Morpeko) but show no changes to any key attributes in game, or that are mostly visual variants (Keldeo, Zarude) will be included normally?

As long as Showdown recognize them as alternate forms then they are fair game. For example, all of the examples given fall under that category.

[Scoopapa]

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam
Stat Changes: 75 / 95 / 110 / 65 / 110 / 145 (600)
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Flower Veil / Intimidate | Adaptability (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +U-turn, Leech Life, Megahorn, Horn Leech, Leaf Blade, Knock Off, Explosion, Rapid Spin, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy, Healing Wish, -Quiver Dance
What Separates it from Other Forms: An attempt to make a fast Leech Seed abuser out of a Grass/Bug type, due to the Bug STAB covering Leech Seed immunities. Unfortunately it's pretty much countered by slow pivoting moves which are on almost every wall in the meta. Adaptability gives it a genuinely strong U-turn to spam, which might be better. It also has the tools to be a good suicide lead.

 

[Tapler]

Name: Wormadam-Crust
Stats: 75 / 89 / 135 / 59 / 95 / 71 [BST: 524]
Typing:

Abilities: Mold Breaker / Skill Link
Movepool Changes: +Encore, Leech Life, Pin Missile, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Shell Smash, Smack Down, Sticky Web, Stone Edge

I heard we were low on Rock-types, so here you go. Its stats may be low, but its movepool is great, allowing it to sweep with Smash + Rock Blast + Pin Missile + EQ or run a lead set with Mold Breaker to help ensure your Webs/Rocks go up.

New Pokémon Name: Wormadam

Wormadam is honestly such a garbage pokemon, so I need to go all out in fixing it. By which I mean I'm going to give all forms STICKY WEBS! Fun fact about Sticky Web, G-Luke loves the move so much he considered making it a requirement to include on all wormadam forms, since he believes a good websetter is a must for any meta.


New Pokémon Name: Fibormadam
Stat Changes: 70/65/120/90/120/85 [BST: 550]
Typing Changes: Bug/Steel
Ability Changes: Sturdy/Heatproof
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Gather Materials, Rapid Spin, Volt Switch, Sticky Web, Thunder Wave, Earth Power, Body Press -Quiver Dance
Gather Materials: A bug type recover clone that is exclusive to the burmy line. Essentially this pokemon gathers new materials for its body thus recovering HP.
What Separates it from Other Forms: Alright so this is meant to be the wall of the three forms. It gets heatproof since the body of Fibormadam is somewhat based on pink fibreglass insulation which regulates heat. It loses QD since I felt it would be a bit much with that in addition to its new tools. However its decent speed helps allow it to set up webs, rocks, and spin them away if need be. Overall it feels like a nice new addition.

A tie exists between Tapler, RODG AND abismal for Wormadam-Sandy, so pleas drop off a single bold vote for who you want to win! Now for the next slate

Slate 19: Johto Galar Coastal
​

These Pokémon are notorious ZU level single stage Pokémon from Johto that got Galarian Forms + Regional Evolutions. Unfortunately, even so, none of their forms nor evolutions reside higher than NU. Now it's your chance to avenge these shitmons and give them a chance amongst the greats.

[abismal]

New Pokémon Name: Farfetch'd
Stat Changes: 1 / 140 / 55 / 68 / 62 / 140
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Truant / Magic Guard (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Skill Swap, Recycle, Leech Seed, Parting Shot, Fake Out, Destiny Bond
What Separates it from Other Forms:

Description

This idea may seem a little Farfetched but hear me out okay? Base 1 HP is hilarious for two reasons, one being you can only take one hit and two any form of residual damage kills it immediately. So, Magic Guard is kind of the end-all to that, and it makes this thing a funny yet cool fast pivot. For one, you can destiny bond immediately and sacrifice it.

Lame right? But because its so fast, its high offenses allow it to run a set up set while also being capable of running a Focus Sash, which it can infinitely Recycle or can again use to set Swords Dance. Fake Out is a good way to ensure extra damage without dying immediately, and it has First Impression too which lets it gain MORE Chip if necessary.

I think having two forms of pivoting is essential for a pokemon with 1 HP, U-Turn because its unresisted and parting shot because it prevents Rocky Helmet or Iron Barbs chip. Leech Seed kind of works with the plant it carries but also lets it get a free seed on something so you can potentially punish it for staying in later. You can also set Tailwind reliably as you'll likely faint right after, meaning your team gets to enjoy 3-4 full turns of it before it runs out, at the cost of losing your pokemon.

I understand this might not seem like the most ideal pokemon to have in our metagame, but It's always fun to explore weird and gimmicky concepts to make things stand out a bit more.. Like Manustorm! I like it a lot for relying on Focus Punch sets while also being a hilarious joke, and even though the Farfetch'd below is a little more serious this one will definitely lighten things up.

New Pokémon Name: Corsola
Stat Changes: 95 / 65 / 115 / 105 / 85 / 75
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Shed Skin / Prism Armor / Chlorophyll (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Purify, Moonblast, Disarming Voice, Play Rough, Dazzling Gleam, Growth, Weather Ball, Solar Beam | -Stone Edge, Ancient Power, Rock Slide, Head Smash, Rock Blast, Sandstorm, Rock Tomb, Meteor Beam
What Separates it from Other Forms:

Description

This is going to be a very strange submission but just hear me out, A water type that abuses sun. It's kind of tough to make fit, but I think with the current meta Corsola can really do something. I couldn't find anything interesting by thinking about this mon from a competitive standpoint, so I switched to flavor! Coral has nothing to do with plants, but the pokedex describes Corsola as a pokemon that definitely enjoys some sunlight even in the water, being capable of changing to multiple colors when light shines upon it... Similar to the functionality of a prism. Corsola is also said to shed its skin, and Chlorophyll makes it capable of using sun with its a potential Ice/Fire/Fairy coverage set after using Growth, which sounds pretty frightening to deal with as we have a lot of pokemon weak and neutral to that combination. It's abilities also work well for Calm Mind sets.

New Pokémon Name: Farfetch'd-Galar
Stat Changes: 62 / 125 / 115 / 58 / 72 / 85
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Harvest / Scrappy / Unburden (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Natural Gift, Power Trip, Body Press, Tailwind, Reversal, Fling, Leech Seed, Branch Poke, Roost
What Separates it from Other Forms: (Can be used with eviolite)

Description

The Salac Berry Reversal sweep. A sweet little mon that can surely be cool for a niche pick. Farfetch'd are honestly more interesting than being an SD sweeper and I wanted to give mine an approach towards something more creative, possibly running Natural Gift + Unburden sets or Reversal Scrappy sets. Maybe a Starf Berry power trip set!

New Pokémon Name: Corsola-Galar
Stat Changes: 80 / 55 / 50 / 55 / 160 / 50
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Cursed Body / Perish Body / Shadow Shield (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Spirit Shackle, Toxic
What Separates it from Other Forms: (No Eviolite)

Description

This pokemon is a special wall that can also act as a trapper to deal with pokemon like Primal Kyogre. Its offenses aren't great, but its HP and Special Defense are amazing, with Shadow Shield vastly improving its bulk and allowing it to strength sap away physical attackers to stall them out. It could be a really interesting pokemon for the metagame!

Stat Changes: 100 / 100 / 70 / 70 / 100 / 70 [BST: 510]
Typing Changes:

Ability Changes: Levitate | Liquid Scales (HA)
Liquid Scales: When this Pokemon is hit, it heals 1/10 of its max HP.
Movepool Changes (If Any): Bulk Up, Poltergeist
What Separates it from Other Forms: A Bulk Up sweeper that also is a physical wall with Strength Sap, and Liquid Scales to help that out with chip recovery.

Farfetch'd-Fencer
Fighting/Flying
Serene Grace, Steadfast, Quick Draw
100/120/90/70/110/80(570)
Added: Bounce, Iron Head, Meteor Mash, Iron Tail, Rock Climb
Removed: Body Slam
Stick retains its original effect
Leek now has the following effect: This Pokemon's moves have their secondary effect chance doubled.
Sidenote: in regards to interactions with Serene Grace, this item uses the effect of the combination of Water Pledge and Fire Pledge for reference. That said, the following is also true for it: "The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place for moves used by that side of the field (not including Secret Power); this effect is cumulative with Serene Grace for chances to cause a stat change or inflict a status, but not for chances to cause flinching."
Fencer abuses the double Serene Grace effect available to it as its main weapon. Be it with a surefire paralysis in Bounce, or the stat changes that Iron Tail, Meteor Mash or Steel Wing offer; be them to itself or to its opponents. I may also try to use Quick Draw paired with Leek if you're feeling lucky and want to land some flinches. Overall, it removes the luck aspect that some moves have, while increasing the chance to get a positive effect in others.

Tiebreaker for abismal

The Farfetch'ds seem a bit frail. Id pump their bulk some more.

Not sure if the Desired effect if Leek is codeable. Speak with the coders on Discord to see if this is a probable sub. If not, it would need to be axed.

Anyway, dropping a tentative 48 Hour warning.

New Pokémon Name: Farfetch'd
Stat Changes: 77 HP / 110 Atk / 77 Def / 115 SpA / 74 SpD / 103 Spe
Typing Changes: Normal / Flying
Ability Changes: Reckless / Hyper Cutter | HA: Competitive
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Wood Hammer, +Hyper Voice, +Sacred Sword, +Hurricane, +Focus Blast, +Calm Mind
What Separates it from Other Forms: Farfetch'd is just a mid speed mixed breaker that gets by on Reckless boosted STABs and coverage.



New Pokémon Name: Farfetch'd-Galar
Stat Changes: 127 HP / 126 Atk / 107 Def / 49 SpA / 74 SpA / 73 Spe
Typing Changes: Fighting / Grass
Ability Changes: Scrappy / Sap Sipper | HA: Chlorophyll
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Sacred Sword, +Roost, +Leech Seed, +Power Whip, +Solar Blade, +Fire Punch, +Grassy Slide
What Separates it from Other Forms:
Galarfetch'd is instead a slower, but bulkier physical Attacker


New Pokémon Name: Corsola
Stat Changes: 110 HP / 95 Atk / 85 Def / 85 SpA / 95 SpD / 45 Spe
Typing Changes: Water / Rock
Ability Changes: Same as in Standard
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Diamond Storm, +Power Gem, +Flip Turn
What Separates it from Other Forms:
Corsola utilizes its access to Regenerator + its unique set of resistances and utility to carve a niche for itself as a "defensive Rock type".

 

[woo]

New Pokémon Name: Corsola
Stat Changes: 75 / 85 / 105 / 145 / 105 / 45
Typing Changes: Rock / Fairy
Ability Changes: Hustle / Immunity
Movepool Changes (If Any): Power Gem, Misty Terrain, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Teleport, Swords Dance, Accelerock, Coral Crash*

Coral Crash

BP: 80
PP: 20 (Max 32)
Typing: Fairy
Category: Physical
Accuracy: 100%
Effect: Has 1/4 recoil. 10% chance to lower the target's Special Attack by 1.

What Separates it from Other Forms: Hustle Corsola is such a cool mon. Though, this gets outclassed by Regenerator sets in vanilla, and having a bigger SpA makes it outclassed by another sets in this mod. We DO have some Rock-Type and Fairy-Type wallbreakers, and we have a mixed wallbreaker in Deoxys-Gem, but none that is a pure Special Attacker on paper, despite having a new move and an ability that helps here with physical sets and not a bad Attack. Atales eats this though.

50th post o.o!!
