Pretty clearly here, the winners ended up being Pterarena, Tumblwire, and Griffoneye...
Spreadsheet will be updated tomorrow as I kept forgetting to make this closing post and only got to it when super tired, but otherwise, the mod is complete! I'll do another slate similar to this if the mod ends up seeing play, but otherwise, this is the meta. Feel free to reserve any incomplete sprites or discuss the mod in its current state if you feel like!
Pokemon: Pterarena
Weight: 300 kg
Type: Reptile / Avian
Ability: Reflective Body / Lighten / Thick Skull
Stats: 108 / 99 / 49 / 73 / 90 / 119
Moves:
: Cold Strike, Guard Roomba, Heavy Strike, Piscine Spine, Scatter Scrape, Take to the Skies, Unrelenting Crunch, Vampiric Claws![]()
: Depth's Wrath, Sap Energy, Stun Needle![]()
: Aromatic Terrain, Plasmodium, Seagull Swipe, Shimmering Scales, Suspend![]()
Description: Setup sweeper. Plasmodium is its main setup option, passively giving Bulk Up boosts while trapping the user. Thankfully, Pterarena has the tools to abuse this move in Suspend or Seagull Swipe as recovery or Protect clone Shimmering Scales. Pterarena has several attacking options in Take to the Skies and Unrelenting Crunch as STAB and Ghoul coverage for Artifical-types with Cold Strike and Vampiric Claws.
Pokemon: Tumblwire
Weight: 17 kg
Type:![]()
![]()
Ability: Brave Spirit / Thick Skin / Dust Storm
Stats: 94 / 96 / 20 / 122 / 125 / 71 (BST: 528)
Moves:
: Swift Swoop, Unrelenting Crunch, Tree Fall, Scute Shot, Web Shot, Fae or Foe, Take to The Skies![]()
: Whirlpool Drain, Lizard Breath, Angelic Cry, Technology's Madness, Leaf Blower, Computer Crash, Conifer Cannon, Excavation![]()
: Rain Dust, Stand Guard![]()
Description: The weather setter. Dust is really good for a Mineral type pokemon, as it provides a damage and defense boost (to patch up its base 20 defense), as well as a neutrality to Slime. It should use Computer Crash and Excavation as dual STABs, Technology's Madness for setup, and the last slot is for coverage (probably Lizard Breath). The main ability to use is Dust Storm, as Brave Spirit (better Suction Cups) and Thick Skin (Bleed + Priority immunity) are not as useful to Tumblwire as Dust Storm. With a Dust setter in the meta, it can be run with Dust Surfer Arengene.
Name: Griffoneye (Griffon + Tiger's Eye, a type of gemstone)
Weight: 300 kg
Typing: Ghoul/Mineral
Stats: 97/111/41/120/77/42 (488)
Abilities: Bird Aura / Hunter's Instinct / Dependable Eyes
Movepool:
Physical: Acidic Claws, Stone Pitch, Down Bash, Maul, Ghoulish Hammer
Special: Fantasy Beam, Lizard Breath, Stereo Screech, Lethal Injection, Whirlpool Drain, Scavenger Circle, Diamond Flash, Shining Hiss,
Status: Zen Vibrations, Sharpened Scales, Sinister Proposal, Petrify
key: STAB, useful
Description: Formerly known as Magiquartz. Basically check what readytolose said about it. Horrible stats but great potential as a Beast trapper and Trick Room enabler. Also, when using it as a Trick Room attacker, Stereo Screech is damn useful, because it ignores priority.
