Pokémon: Emolga
Typing: Electric / Flying
Abilities: Air Lock / Adaptability / No Guard
Stats: 70 / 60 / 80 / 140 / 110 / 140 (600 BST)
New Moves: Nasty Plot, Flash Cannon, Heat Wave, Surf, Hurricane, Focus Blast, Boomburst, Reflect, Memento, Parting Shot,
Static Zone
Custom Move Information (if applicable): Electric, Status, ---BP, ---% Acc, 15 PP (max: 24)
Custom Move Description (what effects it has): For 5 turns, protects allied pokemon from the secondary effects of attacks, in addition to halving the damage of physical and special attacks. Light Clay does not extend the duration of this effect.
Competitive (niche in Ubers): Emolga finds itself a home in Ubers as a fast offensive support pokemon that can also take on many more offensive roles thanks to its well-rounded stats. While it may not be the most physically bulky, it carries good enough special bulk to stomach hits from pokemon such as Mega Gengar. Its high speed lets it abuse Parting Shot, Memento, and both of the Screens, in addition to its signature move, Static Zone, giving it great synergy with offensive threats such as Deoxys-A and Mega Gengar, making it a great addition for offensive teams. Switcheroo lets it easily mess up common defensive staples such as Zygarde-Complete and Ferrothorn, paving the way for its teammates to easily break them. Its fantastic role compression means that it's not restricted to pure support - thanks to its access to Nasty Plot and important coverage moves in Heat Wave, Surf, and Flash Cannon, on top of its fantastic offensive abilities in Adaptability and No Guard, Emolga can also function as a powerful late-game cleaner. It is admittedly held back by its poor physical defense stat and Stealth Rock weakness, but with proper support, Emolga can easily break open teams like nobody's business.

Leaf Storm
Z-Move Custom Move Description (what effects it has): Summons Grassy Terrain for 5 turns.
Competitive (niche in Ubers): Simisage is able to find a place amongst Uber's fastest and most powerful pokemon as a fast mixed glass cannon thanks to its great offensive typing and offenses on both sides. Grass / Fighting it a really good STAB combo, letting it offensively check stuff such as Primal Kyogre, Ferrothorn Dusk Mane Necrozma, Arceus-Water, and Arceus-Ground while its vast pool of coverage moves let it check stuff such as Xerneas, Mega Gengar, Arceus-Fairy, and Mega Salamence. At the same time, its signature Z-move, Nature's Guardian, makes for a reliable one-time nuke, letting it break through stuff that it would otherwise struggle to break, such as Primal Groudon and Zygarde-Complete. As powerful as this seems, though, Simisage's damage output can be a bit underwhelming without a boost from Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, which can be a bit difficult given Simisage's fraility and poor defensive typing, and even after it sets up, it can still fail to KO certain threats such as Lunala without significant hazard-stacking, making it a bit difficult to fit on teams.
