> Evolution by knocking out a Pokémon with Payback in a battle, on the condition that it wasn't fainted at the end of battle.
Original Pokemon: Tauros
New Pokemon Evolution: Taurror (Tauros + Horror), based of Spanish Fighting Bull
Type:
Ability: Intimidate / Combat Breaker (!) |
Sheer Force
(
Combat Breaker: Fighting-type Motor Drive; immune of Fighting-type moves and gain +1 Speed when hit by one.)
Stats: 90 (+15) / 130 (+30) / 100 (+5) / 40 / 80 (+10) / 120 (+10) | BST: 560
Move Additions: Knock Off, Flare Blitz, Swords Dance, Head Smash
Competitive Niche (OU): Fast sweeper that will crush any oppositions not being able to resist its STAB. Although a double-weakness to Fighting really stinks, Combat Breaker can help it to gain more speed by safely switchin' into a Pokémon using Close Combat, High Jump Kick (especially this one) and even Focus Miss. It also got Knock Off as a main STAB, or it can keep Pursuit, while having access to a good amount of coverage such as Iron Head, Zen Headbutt, Flare Blitz, Earthquake and Head Smash, the former three boosted further by Sheer Force.
> Evolution by level up at Level 32 or higher, with Sweet Kiss learned and not having Draining Kiss.
Original Pokemon: Luvdisc
New Pokemon Evolution: Amourami (French word Amour + gourami)
Type:
Ability: Shift Swim / Drizzle |
Hydration
Drizzle is only accessible via Ability Capsule on a Amourami with Shift Swim if not available at wild.
Stats: 93 (+50) / 40 (+10) / 80 (+25) / 80 (+40) / 135 (+70) / 107 (+10) | BST: 540
Move Additions: Calm Mind, Recover, Psychic, Defog, Moonblast, Dream Eater, Lovely Kiss
Competitive Niche (OU): Fast Special Wall or when using Drizzle, fast Special Sweeper. Lovely Kiss is situational but is more accurate than Hypnosis and Sing, but nowhere as accurate as Spore thus discouraging spamming. Defog is also used for support to get rid of entry hazards, and Scald can still be used if you want to burn something regardless of Ability used. Hydration can be used instead which can be infuriating for most Special Attackers that lacked super effective moves, as it will fully recover via Rest and wake back up in Rain, but its luck runs out outside of it.
=======================
> Evolution by level up at Level 32 or higher, with Draining Kiss learned and not having Sweet Kiss.
Original Pokemon: Luvdisc
New Pokemon Evolution: Sorbtisc (Corruption of absorbtion and disc)
Type:
Ability: Shift Swim / Technician* |
Magic Bounce
Technician is only accessible via Ability Capsule on a Sorbtisc with Shift Swim if not available at wild.
Stats: 93 (+50) / 40 (+10) / 80 (+25) / 135 (+95) / 80 (+15) / 107 (+10) | BST: 540
Move Additions: Calm Mind, Foul Play, Psychic, Moonblast, Giga Drain, Dream Eater, Lovely Kiss
Competitive Niche (OU): Fast wallbreaker/sweeper that unlike Amourami and despite same type, it got Technician or Magic Bounce to get around not having Drizzle. Technician allows for Draining Kiss and Hidden Power usage (super recovery damage and glue-coverage respectively) while Magic Bounce to counter Taunt, entry hazards, and other annoying Status moves. It also got Giga Drain to take out bulky Water-type after a Calm Mind boost, such as Rotom-Wash, but also take down Mega Swampert and Greninja-Ash outside of the rain.
