Custom Elements: *Photosynthesis:
Grass-type | Status | —% accuracy | PP: 20 - 32 | For 5 turns (8 if holding Light Clay), damage to opponents is 4/3x; can only be used under Harsh Sunlight [Aurora Veil clone].
Justification: This is my try on adding a niche to Sun weather condition. In the actual meta, except Torkoal that is used sometimes in Doubles, there aren’t a lot of Sun users and abusers. With the fact that Chlorophyll is only available to Grass-type Pokémon, that are weak to Fire type, makes them bad choices for a Sun-based team. Seeing how Hail shined a little when Ninetales-Alola introduced Aurora Veil in the meta, I tried somehow to emulate this with an offensive version of that, since it fits even more with Fire type. With Drought-boosted Synthesis this mon can resist a lot on the field, and if you avoid the few types Flora’s weak to, it can set both Sun and Photosinthesis multiple times along the battle. It has strong Solar Beam on its side, but also Giga Drain, Overheat, Fire Blast and Flamethrower, while it can also use some utility moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Leech Seed.
