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.

Cicamega
Type:
Height: 0'4"
Weight: 8 pounds
Abilities: Mummy
Stats: 96/66/126/96/96/35
New Moves: Pain Split, Hex, Toxic Spikes, Will-o-Wisp, Shadow Claw
Removed Moves: Defog, Air Slash
Flavor/Design: Cicada + Mega (Cicada is a frequently dead bug, and Mega comes from the griffinfly, which makes it a massive cicada that cannot fly as well as a dragonfly). Yanma evolves into Cicamega instead of Yanmega if Yanma has red HP when evolving.
Competitive Description:
Cicamega is a functional combination of Cofagrigus and Shedinja. The bug/ghost combination provides interesting defensive utility by shutting down fighting types and being a nuisance for physical attackers with will-o-wisp. However, instead of being a 1 hp wonder guard machine, Cicamega goes down the Cofagrigus route of setting up tspikes/wisp and hexing away. Mummy and its large defense stat allow it to mess around with some physical attackers. Pain split is to have unreliable recovery but recovery nonetheless, and rest is also an option. Cicamega has poultry speed and attack and moderate special attack, it's still weak to SR, and gets bodied by a lot of types, but I think it's definitely interesting. Toxic spikes might be a cool addition to the meta. This is my first sub so I hope you enjoy!

Description: If a Drakloak evolves holding a Revive, it will evolve to Dragocaulus instead of Dragapult. Dragocaulus is how the Dragapult line would've looked like if it wasn't actually extinct

Special Wall / Mixed Wall / Defensive Pivot
Alright so this is my way of adding a new defensive mon to the meta. This is specifically designed to provide more counter-play against Phankyr and Mega-Lapidour.
Magneboom is immune to not one, but BOTH of Phankyr’s STAB. It also has access to Levitate, so Phankyr doesn’t beat it with Earthquake. Currently, Phankyr is definitely a dominant mon in the meta, it gets pretty much free set up with Coil and Esiugsid (Disguise), and because of Poltergeist, it is able to hit very hard. It also has supper effective STAB against Annhailord and Clefable, which are two of the most viable Unaware users. All of this can make Phankyr a hard mon to wall.
If Magneboom was introduced into the meta, it would be able to limit Phankyr a bit more without nerfing it anyway. Normal/Steel type at first glance may not seem like the best defensive typing, but because Branch Potential’s meta has a lot of Ghost-types, it is a lot more useful.
Magneboom also has a good matchup against Mega-Lapidour, it resists both of Mega-Lap’s STAB and it’s only really directly threatened by Hidden Power Fighting. It would probably make HP Fighting more common on Mega-Lap, which would definitely limit its moveset more. A SpDef Magneboom would be able to live any hit from Mega-Lap and OHKO it in return with a Steel-type move. Magneboom also has some really cool tools. Most notably Doom Desire.
Doom Desire would essentially be used defensively on Magneboom in the same way Future Sight is used on the Slowtwins. Doom Desire would be great against Mega-Lap, and also breaks Phankyr’s Disguise.
Magneboom’s biggest downfall is definitely its 4x weakness to Fighting. Because of this, it definitely wouldn’t be overwhelming as a wall.
(It also resists Banshigen’s dual stab, and Mega Banshigen has also proven to be very strong in the current meta.)
View attachment 367822
It’s based on a speaker, specifically this levitating speaker. It gets more range in its movepool because that is pretty common with Normal-types. I chose to go for a speaker because I wanted to show how magnets can be used within electronics. I think its a cool transition from magnets to electronics. It gets the Normal-typing since some sound based moves like Sonic Boom (which is a pretty limited move that the Magnemite line already has access too) and Boomburst are Normal-type moves.
