[NeonNitroGlycerin]

Sludgeon and Vibrollusk

Name: Sludgeon
Evolves From: Gastrodon-East
Typing: Water / Dragon
Weight: 20 kg
Abilities: Sticky Hold / Hydration / Poison Heal
Stats: 82 / 101 / 97 / 61 / 98 / 89 (BST: 528)

New Moves: Dragon Dance, Stomping Tantrum, Parting Shot, Poison Jab, Toxic Spikes, Outrage, Liquidation
Removed Moves: Ice Beam, Blizzard
Flavor/Design: Sludgeon is known by some as the Wrath of the Seas. Due to the heavy pollution of the East Sea, Gastrodon have begun to evolve and become Sludgeons. No more gods, only rage.

Competitive Description: Sludgeon is a Dragon Dance sweeper with access to reliable recovery from Poison Heal and, well, Recover. Poison Jab hits the Fairy-types that threaten it, and Parting Shot lets it escape from sticky situations, at the cost of losing its stat boosts.

Name: Vibrollusk
Evolves From: Gastrodon-West
Typing: Water / Ground
Weight: 20 kg
Abilities: Sticky Hold / Storm Drain / Serene Grace
Stats: 110 / 61 / 97 / 98 / 101 / 61 (BST: 528)

New Moves: Toxic Spikes, Hyper Voice
Removed Moves: Earthquake
Flavor/Design: Vibrollusk is a product of the relatively calm West Sea causing a Gastrodon to achieve evolution through pure calm. Its only concern is mating, which it does by vibrating intensely, emitting a booming mating call.

Competitive Description: Vibrollusk is an expansion of standard Gastrodon, being a water-immune water/ground mon with high defensive stats and reliable recovery. It now has the option to use Toxic Spikes, and could theoretically run Serene Grace with Scald and/or Ice beam.

Escargoop and Snailava

Name: Escargoop
Evolves From: Slugma
Typing: Fire / Poison
Weight: 40 kg
Abilities: Poison Point / Flame Body / White Smoke
Stats: 81 / 53 / 84 / 125 / 92 / 101 (BST: 536)

New Moves: Flip Turn, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Rapid Spin, Energy Ball
Removed Moves: Shell Smash, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rollout, Smack Down, Stone Edge, Sandstorm
Flavor/Design: Escargoop has a reputation of being highly dangerous to train, not due to any aspects of its demeanor (in fact, they tend to be quite friendly), but because even being near one is simply incredibly dangerous. Not only are they seemingly made of lava, but they constantly emit highly toxic smoke.

Competitive Description: Escargoop is a hard-hitting Scarf user, plain and simple. It uses Fire Blast as its primary STAB, and has Energy Ball for hitting the Ground-types and Water-types that threaten it. Flip Turn is generally a nice thing for this kind of pokemon to have, which Escargoop does.

Name: Snailava
Typing: Fire / Rock
Weight: 100 kg
Abilities: Flame Body / Magma Armor / Weak Armor
Stats: 92 / 81 / 125 / 84 / 101 / 53 (BST: 536)

New Moves: Power Gem, Meteor Beam, Energy Ball
Removed Moves: Shell Smash
Flavor/Design: Snailava come into existence when a Magcargo realizes it can absorb lava to add to its being. These absolute units of lava snails are far more agressive than their poisonous counterparts, but they are too slow to really do anything about it.

Competitive Description: A simple mon that stands to simply exist as Magcargo, but better at being a functional wall.

[BIG ASHLEY]

Name: Hellos-West
Typing: Fire/Ground
Height: 3'7
Weight: 15kg
Abilities: Flash Fire, Magma Armour, HA: Heatproof
Stats: 111/49/130/50/90/45 (475)

New Moves: Will-o-Wisp, Burning Jealousy, Ember, Fire Blast, Fire Spin, Flame Burst, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Heat Wave, Incinerate, Inferno, Mystical Fire, Overheat, Sunny Day, Taunt, Torment, Scorching Sands (18)
Removed Moves: Hydro Pump, Scald, Surf, Waterfall, Brine, Dive, Muddy Water, Rain Dance, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Hail, Icy Wind (15)
Flavor/Design: The Hellos species evolved from a colony of Shellos which were swallowed up by a portal to the Underworld; much like on the surface, they soon divided into East and West variants. Hellos-West have lived within the flames for so long that they themselves have become partially made of fire, replacing their previous molecular structure.

Competitive Description: Physically defensive blob.


Name: Hellos-East
Typing: Rock/Ground
Height: 3'3
Weight: 40kg
Abilities: Rock Head, Weak Armour, HA: Cursed Body
Stats: 90/130/50/49/45/111 (475)

New Moves: Head Smash, Double-Edge, Horn Attack, Megahorn, Submission, Take Down, Wild Charge, Rock Blast, Rock Polish, Rock Throw, Smack Down, Swords Dance
Removed Moves: Hydro Pump, Scald, Surf, Waterfall, Brine, Dive, Muddy Water, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Hail, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Skitter Smack (14)
Flavor/Design: Hellos-East opted not to live inside literal fire, and instead evolved over time into a more demonic form. Their weird squishy-looking horn things have solidified and lengthened, and their body has crusted into a very thin - but imposing - layer of armour.

Competitive Description: Rock Head Head Smash go brrr. Stats are Hellos-West's rearranged.



Name: Spryvern (sprite + wyvern)
Typing: Dragon/Fairy
Height: 5'07
Weight: 82kg
Abilities: Misty Terrain, HA: Healer
Stats: 160/65/115/80/115/65 (600)

New Moves: Wish, Aromatherapy, Moonblast, Misty Terrain, Play Nice, Play Rough, Charm, Fairy Wind, Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss, Misty Explosion, Sweet Kiss, Aromatic Mist, Recover, Haze (16)
Removed Moves: Curse, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Acid Spray, Assurance, Brutal Swing, Poison Tail, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Stomping Tantrum, Body Press (11)
Flavor/Design: Spryvern surrounds itself in lovely mist, giving it the appearance of angelic butterfly wings. Gone is the slime of its Sliggoo days - this Pokemon has beautiful clear skin.

Competitive Description: It's fat. Can fire off big Wishes to support your team, but lacks a pivoting move to help with that. Misty Terrain keeps status off it, but means it can't wear its foes down with Toxic.



i have no ideas for this little fella atm. i'll edit it in if i think of anything...

 

[Double Iron Bash]

Magcargo-Alola

Name: Alolan Form of Magcargo
Typing: Fire/Ice
Height: 0.8 m
Weight: 55.0 kg
Abilities: Ice Body/Flame Body, Simple
Stats: 70/50/70/100/80/60, 430

New Moves: Aurora Beam, Aurora Veil, Avalanche, Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Frost Breath, Hail, Ice Beam, Ice Burn, Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, Icy Wind, No Retreat, Powder Snow, Sheer Cold, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Work Up
Removed Moves: Gyro Ball, Rollout, Sandstorm, Shell Smash, Smack Down, Stealth Rock, Stone Edge

Design: These Pokemon look identical to the Magcargo that are found in Johto, however, instead of a rock shell, it just has a cube of ice resting on its back. This happened when Slugma could not find any rocks to use for a shell, so they went with the crazy idea of using ice instead. The heat of its body and the coldness of its shell cancel out, so the magma isn't hardened by the ice and the ice isn't melted by the magma. Becayse of this, it is simultaneously the hottest and coldest Pokémon in existence.
Competitive Description: This Pokémon has a wide movepool and many set-up moves that it can use to abuse Simple. Its most important one is No Retreat, meaning it can get +2 in all stats with the use of a single move. It may also run defensive sets with Simple + Stockpile, allowing it to maximize its defenses in only 3 turns (and it has recovery). However, this Pokémon has bad typing (forcing it to run Boots) and really low stats before set-up.

Ballastrodon-West (Base)

Name: Ballast + Gastrodon (West Sea Form)
Typing: Water/Ground
Height: 1.2 m
Weight: 42.6 kg
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Storm Drain, Sand Spit
Stats: 121/83/78/132/92/39, 545

New Moves: Calm Mind, Flip Turn, Focus Blast, Scorching Sands, Shadow Ball, Shore Up, Stealth Rock
Removed Moves: None

Design: Looks like a bigger, more detailed version of Gastrodon-West (similar to how Gastrodon looks like a bigger version, more detailed version of Shellos).
Competitive Description: Bulky special attacker, it uses its massive bulk and its high special attack to be able to deliver strong blows, and being able to take hits itself. It can use Sand Spit for additional chip damage.

Ballastrodon-East

Name: Ballast + Gastrodon (East Sea Form)
Typing: Water/Ground
Height: 1.2 m
Weight: 42.6 kg
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Water Absorb, Sand Spit
Stats: 121/132/92/83/78/39, 545

New Moves: Body Press, Bulk Up, Flip Turn, Liquidation, Shore Up, Stealth Rock
Removed Moves: None

Design: Looks like a bigger, more detailed version of Gastrodon-East (similar to how Gastrodon looks like a bigger version, more detailed version of Shellos). Retains its small differences from West form.
Competitive Description: Bulky physical attacker, it uses its massive bulk and its high attack to be able to deliver strong blows, and being able to take hits itself. It may also run a lead set with rocks + flip turn (Swampert but better). It can use Sand Spit for additional chip damage.

McGoo

Name: McGee (common surname) + Goo
Typing: Dragon
Height: TBD
Weight: TBD
Abilities: Sap Sipper/Super Glue, Gooey

Super Glue

Prevents Grass-type Pokémon from escaping using its sticky goo.

Stats: 100/70/120/110/120/80, 600

New Moves: None
Removed Moves: None

Design: TBD
Competitive Description: Has really good defenses, meaning it can take both special (Serperior) and physical (Monke, Kart) hits. However, its lack of reliable recovery doesn't allow it to take too many, so it may have some wish support. It has access to 3 different move types that are supereffective to grass, meaning it can deal with most grass types, especially SpDef Ferrothorn, which gets 2hkoed by Fire Blast even without SpA investment.

 

[Rasdanation]

Osmidian

Name: Osmidian (Osmosis + Obsidian)
Typing:

Ability: Solid Rock / Rock Head / Mirror Armor [HA]

Removed Moves: Ember, Incinerate, Flame Burst, Lava Plume, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Flame Charge, Overheat, Heat Wave, Inferno, Explosion, Shell Smash (11)
Competitive Description: Defensive Magcargo. Trades speed and offenses for overall better bulk. Moveset still panders to offensive play style, with access to 5-speed Gyro Ball, Poltergeist, Stone Edge, and Body Press.
Flavor: Exposure to high amounts of water and cool temperatures causes Slugma’s body to harden, and condense into Obsidian. Unable to move, the Slugma perishes. It’s soul, however, is trapped within the rock, unable to leave. This new entity is known as “Osmidian.” Osmidian uses large amounts of its spiritual energy to transport its obsidian body across the world. Osmidian roams in search of picking fights with the strongest Pokémon it finds, in hopes that one day, it’s opponent may be able to shatter its Obsidian prison.

That said, the humanity started to trap Sliggoo and force it to evolve into its other evolution, Mimidra. Being trapped made Mimidra collapse, transforming everything in goo and making the Earth's surface being covered by the weirdest of colours and terrains.
Competitive Description: Non-psychic Psysurge abuser OR Fairy offensive mon with good defenses OR defensive pokemon OR mimicry electric/grass/psychic wallbreaker with terrain pulse and mimicry
Evolution Method: Level-up while a field effect is active.

New Moves: Close Combat, Superpower, Hammer Arm, Zen Headbutt, Iron Head
Removed Moves: All water Moves
Flavor: While escaping from Gastrodont and keeping its mind empty from bad things, Gastrodon left the sea and went to the land to become stronger.

While it had no arms, Gastrodon learned and mastered punching with its head, and it evolved to the first Gastrodo of the world.

Evolution Method: Level-up without having any water moves learned.

New Moves: Quash, Taunt, Snatch, Knock Off, Topsy-Turvy, Foul Play, Parting Shot

[Albatross]

Chlorodra

Name: Chlorodra
Typing: Dragon/Grass
Abilities: Sap Sipper/Chlorophyll/Gooey
Stats: 90/110/120/90/120/70 (600 BST)

New Moves: Weather Ball, Breaking Swipe, Solar Blade/Beam, Giga Drain, Synthesis, Liquidation, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy
Removed Moves: Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, Focus Punch, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Fire Blast

Flavour/Design: Exposure to a Leaf Stone has given Sligoo its own chloroplasts. Chlorodra is a strictly herbivorous Pokemon. It eats plants and stores their chloroplasts on its back, which it then uses to synthesise. Its often see lounging in shallow waters, absorbing sunlight for energy. Chlorodra only appear in areas completely free from pollution, making them highly coveted visitors for gardeners

Competitive Description: Chlorodra, thanks to its abilities and great stats, can take on a multitude of roles. As a mixed Chlorophyll sweeper, it can utilise Weather Ball, Solar Blade/Beam, Rock Slide, Flamethrower, or Earthquake to clean up opposing teams. Additionally, it's newly acquired Synthesis patches up a major issue its counterpart Goodra has; a lack of reliable recovery, greatly increasing its longevity
Its great bulk & Synthesis allows it to act as a tank as well, and within this role it can run Sap Sipper as a fuck you to Ferrothorn or Gooey to punish physical attackers like Urshifu-R. Though its typing leaves a lot to be desired defensively, it still manages to absorb attacks well, and its Att is decent enough for it to deal out an alright amount of damage as well. While it has lost some useful coverage, it makes up for this with options for healing between Giga Drain, Synthesis, and Leech Seed, and the ability to take a clerical role with Aromatherapy

Dironarch and Clepsnail

Name: Dironarch
Typing: Water/Ghost
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Storm Drain/Magic Bounce
Stats: 111/83/88/92/97/39 (510 BST)

New Moves: Stealth Rock, Spikes, Shadow Ball, Curse, Hex, Shadow Sneak, Spite, Bubble, Bubble Beam
Removed Moves: None

Flavour/Design: Dirona albolineata & bubble snails (WIP)

Competitive Description: Bulky hazard stacker with a decent-ish SpAtt and excellent ability in Magic Bounce. Dironarch is currently the only Magic Bouncer with access to Spikes and the only non-mega with Stealth Rock, allowing it to act both as a hazard stacker and hazard blocker. It's STAB combo allows it to hit many of the tier's Stealth Rockers hard, and access to Recover increases its longevity greatly


Name: Clepsnail
Typing: Water/Ground
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Storm Drain/Sand Force
Stats: 106/73/88/122/82/39 (510 BST)

New Moves: Trick Room, Healing Wish, Morning Sun
Removed Moves: None

Flavour/Design: Sundial Snail (WIP)

Competitive Description: A secondary Trick Room setter & sweeper, with an added Water immunity thanks to Storm Drain. Its Water/Ground typing, decent bulk, reliable recovery, and access to Ice Beam all allow it to check other Ground-types, which common Trick Room sweepers such as Mega Mawile, Memetal, and Alolan Marowak appreciate. Healing Wish is also great for it, giving it the opportunity to sacrifice itself mid- to late-game and fully heal + switch in a teammate for free
Thanks to Clepsnail's all around good stats it can also function decently outside of TR as a Physical wall and Special wallbreaker, but that's lame and nobody likes that

Apparago and Volcanusk

Name: Apparago
Typing: Fire/Ghost
Abilities: Spectral Flames/Mirror Armour/Weak Armour

Spectral Flames

"The Pokémon's fire contains a supernatural quality, allowing it to burn Fire-types"
Corrosion clone; allows user to inflict a burn on any Pokemon regardless of type

Stats: 90/60/120/100/80/80 (530 BST)

New Moves: Hex, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Ominous Wind, Destiny Bond
Removed Moves: Shell Smash

Flavour/Design: Obsidian lol (WIP)

Competitive Description: Bulky Will-O-Wisp + Hex spammer, with the ability to bypass Fire-type's burn immunity with Spectral Flames. It's essentially just Spectrier's Hex set + an actual movepool and the ability to burn Fire-types, but -snowballing ability and generally being broken. Apparago's other abilities also have decent niches, with Mirror Armour reflecting back stat drops from Intimidaters and Parting Shot users, and Weak Armour just being Weak Armour ig. Apparago also has some neat utility options with Stealth Rock, Dual Screens, Explosion, and Clear Smog, so that's cool


Name: Volcanusk
Typing: Rock/Electric
Abilities: Electric Surge/Lightning Rod/Weak Armour
Stats: 80/90/100/120/80/60 (530 BST)

New Moves: Rising Voltage, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Discharge, Thunder Wave, Wild Charge, Volt Switch,
Removed Moves: Earth Power, Earthquake, Shell Smash

Flavour/Design: Volcanic storms (WIP)

Competitive Description: A special wallbreaker that can muscle past would-be checks thanks to Electric Surge + Rising Voltage. Access to reliable recovery and utility options in Yawn, Will-O-Wisp, Stealth Rock, Memento, and Clear Smog is also great for it, giving it a niche as a Stealth Rock setter or status spreader that can create setup opportunities for its teammates with Memento

 

[SimpyShrimp]

Name:Goodry
Type: Dragon/Ground
Ability:Dry Skin/Misty Surge/Magic Bounce(HA)
Stats:90/110/150/80/70/100

Geothernace (WIP)

Name: Geothernace (from geothermal, like the energy, furnace and limace, the French word for slug)
Typing: Fire, Steel
Height: 0.9m
Weight: 75kg
Abilities: Magma Armor / Solar Power / Drought
Stats: TBD

Flavor/Design: WIP

Evolution Method

At Level 24+ while holding a Heat Rock

Competitive Description: WIP

evo 2

TBD

Total Clefairy's Spryvern - This sub is too bulky. Its 160 HP / 115 Def / 115 SpD stat line is too optimized. For example, things like Corviknight with 98 HP / 105 Def / 85 SpD still manage to be very bulky. Spryvern also has access to reliable Recovery and Misty Terrain, so in general, this mon would definitely be hard to break.

Total Clefairy's Spryvern

Name: Spryvern (sprite + wyvern)
Typing: Dragon/Fairy
Height: 5'07
Weight: 82kg
Abilities: Misty Terrain, HA: Healer
Stats: 160/65/115/80/115/65 (600)

New Moves: Wish, Aromatherapy, Moonblast, Misty Terrain, Play Nice, Play Rough, Charm, Fairy Wind, Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss, Misty Explosion, Sweet Kiss, Aromatic Mist, Recover, Haze (16)
Removed Moves: Curse, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Acid Spray, Assurance, Brutal Swing, Poison Tail, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Stomping Tantrum, Body Press (11)
Flavor/Design: Spryvern surrounds itself in lovely mist, giving it the appearance of angelic butterfly wings. Gone is the slime of its Sliggoo days - this Pokemon has beautiful clear skin.

Competitive Description: It's fat. Can fire off big Wishes to support your team, but lacks a pivoting move to help with that. Misty Terrain keeps status off it, but means it can't wear its foes down with Toxic.

Reminder: We just also wanted to remind everyone to keep BST's consistent. If your branch is a counterpart to a canon evolution, it should have the same BST as it. If you're making two evolutions for a Pokémon, they should have the same BST. (This is a lot like most canon branched evolutions.)

Submission Compilation:

Goodra Submissions

Name: Meldra (Mel, latin for Honey + dragon)
Typing: Dragon/Bug
Height: Same as Goodra
Weight: Same as Goodra
Abilities: Sap Sipper, Aroma Veil (Gooey)
Stats: 100/110/70/110/130/80
New Moves: Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz, Lunge, Pollen Puff, Dragon Dance, Dragon Hammer
Removed Moves: All Water Moves and Dragon Claw

Flavor/Design: Meldra, unlike goodra, look much more like sliggoo and have slug like appearances. They also keep the pure green eyes from Sliggoo. However, on their backs, they display a giant hive, that swarm with combees and honey. Due to this, their goo is now sweet honey instead of sticky slime. They protect the hive on their backs, and also have good relationships with Vespiquen and Combee

Competitive Description: Meldra is mixed wallbreaker, that can set up with either dragon dance or quiver dance. Aroma Veil prevents it from being taunted, while gooey is good for weakening physical attackers, like urshifu-r. It also has pretty good coverage as well, with earthquake and fire blast to hit steel types, and thunderbolt to hit bulky water types, like blastonoise. However, it does suffer from 4MSS, so it can't fit of its coverage on 4 moves.

Name:Combusdra(Combustion+Dragon)
Typing:Dragon/Fire
Height:WIP
Weight:WIP
Abilities:Steam Engine/Solar Power(HA:Gooey)
Stats:90/80/140/110/70/110

New Moves:Blast Burn,Overheat,Heat Wave,Flare Blitz,Solar Beam
Removed Moves:All Water moves
Flavor/Design:It sets its goo on fire using combustion or something

Competitive Description:WIP

name: Deserdra
Type: Dragon/Fire
Height: Same as Goodra
Weight: 130 kg
Abilities: Flame Body/Dry Skin/ Drought (HA)
Hp: 95
Atk:110
Def: 105
Sp Atk: 120
Sp Def: 105
Speed:65

New Moves: Overheat, Heat Wave, Will-o-Wisp, Inferno, Heat Crash, Flare Blitz, Fire Spin, Flame Charge, Eruption(?),
Dragon Claw, Scale Shot, Morning Sun, Earth Power, Stealth Rock, Fire Lash, Iron Defense, Solar Beam (+17)

Removed Moves: All Water-Type Attacks, all Ice-type Attacks, Acid Armor (-15)

Flavor/Design: This is the evolution of a Sliggoo that managed to wander into the desert. its skin has become dry, and any trace of moisture on it has vanished. it grew claws and scales to protect itself, as it no longer has a slippery body. its tail, curled up into its back, has hardened into a sort of shell, which hinders movement and has caused it to be hunched over.
(evolves from Sliggoo at lvl 50 while it is sunny)

Competitive Description: 600 bst sun Setter anyone? while this is pretty much locked to boots unless you have good hazard control, it sets itself apart from other setters due to its longevity. Morning Sun gives it a good source of recovery, especially under sun. while it can't Spin or Yawn like Torkoal, or be fast like Ninetales, it has great attacking stats, allowing it to abuse its own weather.
it does have downsides, namely getting checked by most of the other Weather setters in the tier. Blastonoise specifically proves to be an issue for it, as it resists or is immune to both of its main STABs.
in terms of moveset, it has fire lash on the physical side to weaken the defences of walls and things switching into it. while it isn't the fastest thing in the world, Scarfed Eruption can prove to be a devastating combo, and even more so under Sun. overall, this can be a fairly versatile mon with a variety of possible sets.

Competitive Description: WIP

Name: McGee (common surname) + Goo
Typing: Dragon
Height: TBD
Weight: TBD
Abilities: Sap Sipper/Super Glue, Gooey

Super Glue

Prevents Grass-type Pokémon from escaping using its sticky goo.

Stats: 100/70/120/110/120/80, 600

New Moves: None
Removed Moves: None

Design: TBD
Competitive Description: Has really good defenses, meaning it can take both special (Serperior) and physical (Monke, Kart) hits. However, its lack of reliable recovery doesn't allow it to take too many, so it may have some wish support. It has access to 3 different move types that are supereffective to grass, meaning it can deal with most grass types, especially SpDef Ferrothorn, which gets 2hkoed by Fire Blast even without SpA investment.

Name: Mimidra (Mimic+Dragon)
Types: Dragon/Fairy
Abilities: Gooey / Mimicry / Psychic Surge
Stats: 130/120/80/130/100/40

New Moves: Misty Terrain, Psychic Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Electric Terrain, Trick Room, Wonder Room, Gravity, Magic Room, Terrain Pulse, Moonblast, Teleport, Purify, Psychic, Psyshock
Flavor/Design: Sliggoo learned how to control its goo to make many different things; Its goo now has the power to mimic anything and cure any disease. That said, the humanity started to trap Sliggoo and force it to evolve into its other evolution, Mimidra. Being trapped made Mimidra collapse, transforming everything in goo and making the Earth's surface being covered by the weirdest of colours and terrains.
Competitive Description: Non-psychic Psysurge abuser OR Fairy offensive mon with good defenses OR defensive pokemon OR mimicry electric/grass/psychic wallbreaker with terrain pulse and mimicry
Evolution Method: Level-up while a field effect is active.

Name: Chlorodra
Typing: Dragon/Grass
Abilities: Sap Sipper/Chlorophyll/Gooey
Stats: 90/110/120/90/120/70 (600 BST)

New Moves: Weather Ball, Breaking Swipe, Solar Blade/Beam, Giga Drain, Synthesis, Liquidation, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy
Removed Moves: Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, Focus Punch, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Fire Blast

Flavour/Design: Exposure to a Leaf Stone has given Sligoo its own chloroplasts. Chlorodra is a strictly herbivorous Pokemon. It eats plants and stores their chloroplasts on its back, which it then uses to synthesise. Its often see lounging in shallow waters, absorbing sunlight for energy. Chlorodra only appear in areas completely free from pollution, making them highly coveted visitors for gardeners

Competitive Description: Chlorodra, thanks to its abilities and great stats, can take on a multitude of roles. As a mixed Chlorophyll sweeper, it can utilise Weather Ball, Solar Blade/Beam, Rock Slide, Flamethrower, or Earthquake to clean up opposing teams. Additionally, it's newly acquired Synthesis patches up a major issue its counterpart Goodra has; a lack of reliable recovery, greatly increasing its longevity
Its great bulk & Synthesis allows it to act as a tank as well, and within this role it can run Sap Sipper as a fuck you to Ferrothorn or Gooey to punish physical attackers like Urshifu-R. Though its typing leaves a lot to be desired defensively, it still manages to absorb attacks well, and its Att is decent enough for it to deal out an alright amount of damage as well. While it has lost some useful coverage, it makes up for this with options for healing between Giga Drain, Synthesis, and Leech Seed, and the ability to take a clerical role with Aromatherapy

Name:Goodry
Type: Dragon/Ground
Ability:Dry Skin/Misty Surge/Magic Bounce(HA)
Stats:90/110/150/80/70/100
Removed Moves: All Water, and Ice type moves that goodra can learn, and sligoo can't

Flavour Design: Our favourite and only slugon get dehydrated, and now it's goodry. Its skin release a strange steam
Competitive Design: A swapped, fast goodra with recovery.

Height: 0.80 m
Weight: 50 kg

Added Moves: Meteor Beam, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Grass Knot, Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Mystical Fire, Scald, Life Dew

Flavor: Calibosa is based on a Snail and in Chilli. It's design would consist in a Chilli Snail covered in Beans with a Bowl as it's Shell

Abilities: Shell Armor/Flame Body/Cursed Body (H)
Height: 0.6 m
Weight: 90 kg

Added Moves: Poltergeist, Spirit Shackle, Fire Lash, Memento, Destiny Bond, Pursuit

Flavor: Escarghoul is based on the fact that only the shell of snails are left after the animal dies

Escargoop and Snailava

Name: Escargoop
Evolves From: Slugma
Typing: Fire / Poison
Weight: 40 kg
Abilities: Poison Point / Flame Body / White Smoke
Stats: 81 / 53 / 84 / 125 / 92 / 101 (BST: 536)

New Moves: Flip Turn, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Rapid Spin, Energy Ball
Removed Moves: Shell Smash, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rollout, Smack Down, Stone Edge, Sandstorm
Flavor/Design: Escargoop has a reputation of being highly dangerous to train, not due to any aspects of its demeanor (in fact, they tend to be quite friendly), but because even being near one is simply incredibly dangerous. Not only are they seemingly made of lava, but they constantly emit highly toxic smoke.

Competitive Description: Escargoop is a hard-hitting Scarf user, plain and simple. It uses Fire Blast as its primary STAB, and has Energy Ball for hitting the Ground-types and Water-types that threaten it. Flip Turn is generally a nice thing for this kind of pokemon to have, which Escargoop does.

Name: Snailava
Typing: Fire / Rock
Weight: 100 kg
Abilities: Flame Body / Magma Armor / Weak Armor
Stats: 92 / 81 / 125 / 84 / 101 / 53 (BST: 536)

New Moves: Power Gem, Meteor Beam, Energy Ball
Removed Moves: Shell Smash
Flavor/Design: Snailava come into existence when a Magcargo realizes it can absorb lava to add to its being. These absolute units of lava snails are far more agressive than their poisonous counterparts, but they are too slow to really do anything about it.

Competitive Description: A simple mon that stands to simply exist as Magcargo, but better at being a functional wall.

ESCARGUN

Name: Escargun
Typing:

Height: 0.8 m
Weight: 75 kg
Abilities: Weak Armor/Flame Body/Mega Launcher (HA)
Stats: 80/50/110/110/100/70 (520 BST)

New Moves: Aura Sphere, Power Gem, Dark Pulse, No Retreat, Calm Mind
Removed Moves: Shell Smash, Yawn, Rock Polish
Flavor/Design: gun (Evolves from Magcargo if theres a Blastoise in the front slot, at level 45)

Competitive Description: WIP

Toxargot

Name: Toxargot
Typing:

Height: 1.0 m
Weight: 45 kg
Abilities: Corrosion/Merciless/Weak Armor
Stats: 80/50/95/120/70/105

New Moves: Power Gem, Nasty Plot, Sludge Wave, Dark Pulse, Calm Mind
Removed Moves: Shell Smash, Yawn, Rock Polish
Flavor/Design: toxic rock slug, based on some sort of rock that releases toxic gas or something, its related to volcanos and volcanos = fire, and fire = fire type and fire type = magcargo. (Evolves from Magcargo if it takes (the ammount of damage in galarian yamask's evo method into runerigus) from a poison type attack, at level 45)

Competitive Description: WIP

Magcargo-Alola

Name: Alolan Form of Magcargo
Typing: Fire/Ice
Height: 0.8 m
Weight: 55.0 kg
Abilities: Ice Body/Flame Body, Simple
Stats: 70/50/70/100/80/60, 430

New Moves: Aurora Beam, Aurora Veil, Avalanche, Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Frost Breath, Hail, Ice Beam, Ice Burn, Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, Icy Wind, No Retreat, Powder Snow, Sheer Cold, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Work Up
Removed Moves: Gyro Ball, Rollout, Sandstorm, Shell Smash, Smack Down, Stealth Rock, Stone Edge

Design: These Pokemon look identical to the Magcargo that are found in Johto, however, instead of a rock shell, it just has a cube of ice resting on its back. This happened when Slugma could not find any rocks to use for a shell, so they went with the crazy idea of using ice instead. The heat of its body and the coldness of its shell cancel out, so the magma isn't hardened by the ice and the ice isn't melted by the magma. Becayse of this, it is simultaneously the hottest and coldest Pokémon in existence.
Competitive Description: This Pokémon has a wide movepool and many set-up moves that it can use to abuse Simple. Its most important one is No Retreat, meaning it can get +2 in all stats with the use of a single move. It may also run defensive sets with Simple + Stockpile, allowing it to maximize its defenses in only 3 turns (and it has recovery). However, this Pokémon has bad typing (forcing it to run Boots) and really low stats before set-up.

Osmidian

Name: Osmidian (Osmosis + Obsidian)
Typing:

Ability: Solid Rock / Rock Head / Mirror Armor [HA]
Stats: 70/80/135/40/100/5 [430 BST]
New Moves: Astonish, Grudge, Hex, Night Shade, Ominous Wind, Poltergeist, Shadow Ball, Spirit Shackle, Burning Jealousy, Lash Out, Heavy Slam, Iron Head, Metal Burst, Body Press (14)
Removed Moves: Ember, Incinerate, Flame Burst, Lava Plume, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Flame Charge, Overheat, Heat Wave, Inferno, Explosion, Shell Smash (11)
Competitive Description: Defensive Magcargo. Trades speed and offenses for overall better bulk. Moveset still panders to offensive play style, with access to 5-speed Gyro Ball, Poltergeist, Stone Edge, and Body Press.
Flavor: Exposure to high amounts of water and cool temperatures causes Slugma’s body to harden, and condense into Obsidian. Unable to move, the Slugma perishes. It’s soul, however, is trapped within the rock, unable to leave. This new entity is known as “Osmidian.” Osmidian uses large amounts of its spiritual energy to transport its obsidian body across the world. Osmidian roams in search of picking fights with the strongest Pokémon it finds, in hopes that one day, it’s opponent may be able to shatter its Obsidian prison.

Stats: 90/60/120/100/80/80 (530 BST)

New Moves: Hex, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Ominous Wind, Destiny Bond
Removed Moves: Shell Smash

Flavour/Design: Obsidian lol (WIP)

Competitive Description: Bulky Will-O-Wisp + Hex spammer, with the ability to bypass Fire-type's burn immunity with Spectral Flames. It's essentially just Spectrier's Hex set + an actual movepool and the ability to burn Fire-types, but -snowballing ability and generally being broken. Apparago's other abilities also have decent niches, with Mirror Armour reflecting back stat drops from Intimidaters and Parting Shot users, and Weak Armour just being Weak Armour ig. Apparago also has some neat utility options with Stealth Rock, Dual Screens, Explosion, and Clear Smog, so that's cool


Name: Volcanusk
Typing: Rock/Electric
Abilities: Electric Surge/Lightning Rod/Weak Armour
Stats: 80/90/100/120/80/60 (530 BST)

New Moves: Rising Voltage, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Discharge, Thunder Wave, Wild Charge, Volt Switch,
Removed Moves: Earth Power, Earthquake, Shell Smash

Flavour/Design: Volcanic storms (WIP)

Competitive Description: A special wallbreaker that can muscle past would-be checks thanks to Electric Surge + Rising Voltage. Access to reliable recovery and utility options in Yawn, Will-O-Wisp, Stealth Rock, Memento, and Clear Smog is also great for it, giving it a niche as a Stealth Rock setter or status spreader that can create setup opportunities for its teammates with Memento

New Moves: Dragon Dance, Stomping Tantrum, Parting Shot, Poison Jab, Toxic Spikes, Outrage, Liquidation

Flavor/Design: Sludgeon is known by some as the Wrath of the Seas. Due to the heavy pollution of the East Sea, Gastrodon have begun to evolve and become Sludgeons. No more gods, only rage.

Competitive Description: Sludgeon is a Dragon Dance sweeper with access to reliable recovery from Poison Heal and, well, Recover. Poison Jab hits the Fairy-types that threaten it, and Parting Shot lets it escape from sticky situations, at the cost of losing its stat boosts.

Name: Vibrollusk
Evolves From: Gastrodon-West
Typing: Water / Ground
Weight: 20 kg
Abilities: Sticky Hold / Storm Drain / Serene Grace
Stats: 110 / 61 / 97 / 98 / 101 / 61 (BST: 528)

New Moves: Toxic Spikes, Hyper Voice
Removed Moves: Earthquake
Flavor/Design: Vibrollusk is a product of the relatively calm West Sea causing a Gastrodon to achieve evolution through pure calm. Its only concern is mating, which it does by vibrating intensely, emitting a booming mating call.

Competitive Description: Vibrollusk is an expansion of standard Gastrodon, being a water-immune water/ground mon with high defensive stats and reliable recovery. It now has the option to use Toxic Spikes, and could theoretically run Serene Grace with Scald and/or Ice beam.

Toxislug

Name: Toxislug (Toxic + Slug)

Name: Hellos-East
Typing: Rock/Ground

Removed Moves: Hydro Pump, Scald, Surf, Waterfall, Brine, Dive, Muddy Water, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Hail, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Skitter Smack (14)
Flavor/Design: Hellos-East opted not to live inside literal fire, and instead evolved over time into a more demonic form. Their weird squishy-looking horn things have solidified and lengthened, and their body has crusted into a very thin - but imposing - layer of armour.

Competitive Description: Rock Head Head Smash go brrr. Stats are Hellos-West's rearranged.

Stats: 80/125/75/60/85/80

New Moves: Close Combat, Superpower, Hammer Arm, Zen Headbutt, Iron Head
Removed Moves: All water Moves
Flavor: While escaping from Gastrodont and keeping its mind empty from bad things, Gastrodon left the sea and went to the land to become stronger.

While it had no arms, Gastrodon learned and mastered punching with its head, and it evolved to the first Gastrodo of the world.
Competitive Description: Physical Attacker.
Evolution Method: Level-up without having any water moves learned.


Name: Gastrodont
Typing: Water/Dark
Abilities: Poison Heal / Sticky Hold
Stats: 111/52/100/52/100/90

New Moves: Quash, Taunt, Snatch, Knock Off, Topsy-Turvy, Foul Play, Parting Shot
Removed Moves: All Ground Moves, Recover

Evolution Method: Level-up when battling a Dark-type pokémon.

Dironarch and Clepsnail

Name: Dironarch
Typing: Water/Ghost
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Storm Drain/Magic Bounce
Stats: 111/83/88/92/97/39 (510 BST)

New Moves: Stealth Rock, Spikes, Shadow Ball, Curse, Hex, Shadow Sneak, Spite, Bubble, Bubble Beam
Removed Moves: None

Flavour/Design: Dirona albolineata & bubble snails (WIP)

Competitive Description: Bulky hazard stacker with a decent-ish SpAtt and excellent ability in Magic Bounce. Dironarch is currently the only Magic Bouncer with access to Spikes and the only non-mega with Stealth Rock, allowing it to act both as a hazard stacker and hazard blocker. It's STAB combo allows it to hit many of the tier's Stealth Rockers hard, and access to Recover increases its longevity greatly


Name: Clepsnail
Typing: Water/Ground
Abilities: Sticky Hold/Storm Drain/Sand Force
Stats: 106/73/88/122/82/39 (510 BST)

New Moves: Trick Room, Healing Wish, Morning Sun
Removed Moves: None

Flavour/Design: Sundial Snail (WIP)

Competitive Description: A secondary Trick Room setter & sweeper, with an added Water immunity thanks to Storm Drain. Its Water/Ground typing, decent bulk, reliable recovery, and access to Ice Beam all allow it to check other Ground-types, which common Trick Room sweepers such as Mega Mawile, Memetal, and Alolan Marowak appreciate. Healing Wish is also great for it, giving it the opportunity to sacrifice itself mid- to late-game and fully heal + switch in a teammate for free
Thanks to Clepsnail's all around good stats it can also function decently outside of TR as a Physical wall and Special wallbreaker, but that's lame and nobody likes that

If they don’t count for something in the top 5, they are ignored and you move down the line, and the rest below it work like that.

Your vote counts for the group of branched evolutions that a person has submitted. So one vote for a submitter's entire set of evolutions for a Pokémon.
