Pet Mod [Gen 1] FutureProofing (Complete)

[Yoshiblaze]

Another week, another Pokemon slate

- Pokémon Slate 9 - ​

This slate is a Pokemon Slate, where you can add any future gen Dark, Steel, and Fairy-type Pokémon to the metagame!

Rules (Also on the OP)
- During Pokemon slates, you will sub any future generation Dark, Steel, or Fairy-type Pokemon and adapt it into a Gen 1 environment by changing their typing, stats, and movepool.
- You are allowed to sub 1 Pokemon of each type during the slate. You must specify which voting category your Pokemon fits into (as denoted on the submission template below), which covers for cases like Bisharp or Grimmsnarl, who have multiple future typings.
- When subbing Pokemon, you will change their typing (obviously), as well as their stats and movepools. Movepools are based on their current generation movepools, automatically including any move they learn that exists in Gen 1 + any moves added to the mod through Move Slates that they already learn (keep this in mind if you sub anything that learns Snarl, Steel Wing, or Strange Steam).
- Pokemon subs can be vetoed if they are broken, so try to stay in OU's power level. This especially important for Slate 1 as we don't want to change the power level of the metagame that much so early.
- Eligible Pokemon from Legends: Arceus can be submitted, including Qwilfish-Hisui, Overqwil, Sliggo-Hisui, Goodra-Hisui, and Enamorus.
- Future Gen Pokemon who have a Mega Evolution that give them one of the eligible types are allowed to be subbed as their base form. This allows you to sub Altaria and Audino as Fairies.
- To decide what gets added to the metagame, we'll use a non-ranked vote. Whichever sub gets the most votes in each category will win and get added to the metagame, giving us ~3 new Pokemon each slate and ~30 new Pokemon throughout the mod.
- Any prevolutions of the Pokemon you sub that win will automatically be added. Their stats, typing, and movepools will be decided by council based on your winning sub, so you do not have to include these with your submission.
- Submissions for Pokemon slates last 5 days, with 1 day of voting and 1 day of a discussion phase

[Z-nogyroP]

Pokémon: Drapion
Category: Dark
New Type: Poison / Bug
Stats: 70 / 90 / 110 / 60 / 95 (425 BST)
Movepool: Guillotine, Swords Dance, Cut, Double-Edge, Poison Sting, Twineedle, Pin Missile, Leer, Bite, Hyper Beam, Earthquake, Toxic, Agility, Screech, Bide, Spike Cannon, Leech Life, Rest, Rock Slide, Slash, Substitute, Taunt, Smart Strike
Description: Beedrill but with stats and Earthquake. Fastest Bug in the meta by a good margin, which lets it leverage its STAB a bit better against Psychics, though it's still weak to their STAB and slower than a lot of the important ones.


Pokémon: Copperajah
Category: Steel
New Type: Ground / Water
Stats: 122 / 130 / 69 / 69 / 30 (420 BST)
Movepool: Slam, Stomp, Headbutt, Tackle, Body Slam, Thrash, Double-Edge, Water Gun, Hydro Pump, Surf, Bubble Beam, Hyper Beam, Strength, Earthquake, Fissure, Toxic, Bide, Rest, Rock Slide, Substitute, Heavy Slam
Description: Same STAB Earthquake off 130 Attack that Rhydon carries, but with a typing that leaves it weak to only Razor Leaf and Lash Out in exchange for much worse physical Defense and no resistance to Normal. Its Special is also okay enough that running Surf is reasonable to target Rhydon and Steelix and friends.


Pokémon: Audino
Category: Fairy
New Type: Normal
Stats: 103 / 60 / 86 / 86 / 50 (385 BST)
Movepool: Pound, Double Slap, Mega Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Mega Kick, Body Slam, Double-Edge, Tail Whip, Growl, Flamethrower, Surf, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Submission, Seismic Toss, Strength, Solar Beam, Thunderbolt, Toxic, Psychic, Defense Curl, Light Screen, Reflect, Bide, Metronome, Amnesia, Dream Eater, Rest, Tri Attack, Crafty Shield
Description: Midground between Snorlax and Chansey that can do a little of each. It's obviously much less bulky than either, it doesn't have Snorlax's tremendous Attack or Selfdestruct, and it can't Softboiled or Thunder Wave or Sing like Chansey, but unlike Chansey, it has Amnesia, and unlike Snorlax, it has a nice Special.

 

[Eeveeto]

Been following this thread for a while, and since I have myself a GSC Pet Mod (don,t expect it to appear for many months yet though), might as well contribute to this one.

Pokemon: Umbreon.
New type: Ghost
Stats: 65/110/60/130/65 (410 BST).
Movepool: Body Slam, Reflect, Rest, Substitute, Bide, Bite, Double Edge, Double Team, Focus Energy, Growl, Mimic, Quick Attack, Rage, Sand Attack, Skull Bash, Swift, Tackle, Tail Wind, Take Down, Toxic, Taunt, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Fake Tears, Dream Eater, Hyper Beam (Bold moves are the ones that are not learned by Eevee).
Description: Was going to make Umbreon fully defensive as it originally was, but then made some calcs and it completely neutralized Tauros, Snorlax and Chansey in one slot. Now, with these Stats, Tauros still has only a 16,4% chance to 3HKO with EQ (not counting crits) and Snorlax can still be quickly neutralized by Reflect. Psychic types fare better: despite not getting the 3HKO naturally, they can drop the Special
Umbreon is a weird Mon, in the sense that he can,t get super effective damage, but can,t use it either (except Psychic for Poison types) and doesn,t have STAB to abuse those high offensive Stats (originally I wanted to give give Double Kick, but it does a lot to Chansey, ruining the concept). He is not broken, since it has a severe syndrome of 4 move slots: Rest is the one obvious move. After that it wants Psychic to abuse the 130 Special Attack, Body Slam to abuse the physical one, Reflect to better wall Snorlax (who otherwise does 3HKO), Taunt to reliably defeat Chansey, Confuse Ray, Toxic, Hyper Beam... and can,t have them all at the same time. Despite not being broken, he can be a nightmare for the 3 best Mons of RBY.

Pokemon: Perrserker
New type: Fight/Rock.
Stats: 70/110/100/60/50 (390 BST)
Movepool: Body Slam, Double Edge, Lash Out, Rest, Taunt, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Growl, Heavy Slam, Hyper Beam, Pay Day, Scratch, Screech,Slash, Snarl, Submission, Toxic, Substitute.
Description: Oh, yeah, another anti-Normal Mon. Hits very hard with Heavy Slam and can prevent Reflect Lax from resting with Taunt. The horrible special bulk combined with attrocius defensive typing (at least won,t die from Explosion though) keeps Perrserker in check, even when he can resist some hits if using Snarl.

Pokemon: Ribombee
New type: Bug/Psychic
Stats: 60/58/60/95/121 (383 BST)
Movepool: Light Screen, Psychic, Reflect, Rest, Stun Spore, Double Team, Dream Eater, Toxic, Hyper Beam, Solar Beam, Mega Drain, Sleep Powder, Substitute, Fleur Cannon.
Description: The lead metagame has been solved. Not only Ribombee outspeeds every common lead, but it also threatens all of them: Alakazam, Jynx and Exeggutor are OHKOd by Fleur Cannon), Starmie gets very damaged and Gengar is scared by Psychic (with high crit chance). After sleeping something and maybe paralyzing another Mon, the utility of Ribombee drops, but by then he has already achieved his goal. Paralysis ruins this mon a lot, so Jolteon lead is the way to go.

Pokémon: Sharpedo
Category: Dark
New Type:

Stats: 70 / 120 / 40 / 95 / 95
New Moves: Dragon Rage
Removed Moves: Super Fang, Snarl, Lash Out
Competitive Overview: . Sharpedo is a unique mixed attacking Water-type, trading Kabutops' defensive utility and Swords Dance for being stronger on both sides and faster, which can make it a menace to weakened or paralyzed teams. 95 is unfortunately not as good of a Speed tier as Sharpedo wishes it could be, so plenty of Pokemon can outspeed and revenge kill it, and being a Water-type that doesn't resist Blizzard sucks (though at least it's not weak to Electric), but it'll be a bit tough to switch into late in the game as long as you keep it safe

Set

Sharpedo
- Hydro Pump
- Blizzard
- Slash
- Hyper Beam

Full Movepool

Agility, Bite, Blizzard, Double Team, Double-Edge, Earthquake, Focus Energy, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Leer, Mimic, Rage, Rest, Roar, Screech, Skull Bash, Slash, Strength, Substitute, Surf, Swift, Take Down, Thrash, Toxic, Waterfall, Taunt, Dragon Rage

Pokémon: Magnezone
Category: Steel
New Type:

Stats: 70/70/105/130/60
New Moves: Magneton's movepool + Heavy Slam, Body Slam, Flash
Removed Moves: N/A
Competitive Overview: Magneton's concept done kinda right, resub edition. 130 Spc with TBolt and 105 Def with Heavy Slam and TWave all make Magnezone decently tough to switch into, plus it has the option to use Gear Up to really have fun, but it's walled forever by Rhydon (even with Heavy Slam), Steelix, Rest Jolteon, Hydreigon, and Exeggutor. Even Reflect Chansey deals with it if it switches in on TBolt or TWave.

Set

Magnezone
Ability: None
- Thunderbolt
- Heavy Slam
- Thunder Wave
- Rest / Gear Up

Pokémon: Ninetales-Alola
Category: Fairy
New Type:

Stats: 73 / 80 / 75 / 84 / 109
New Moves: Ninetales' movepool + Blizzard, Ice Beam, Aurora Beam, Mist, Fake Tears, Slash
Removed Moves: Fire Blast, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Ember
Competitive Overview: wow all my old fairy subs that didn't win sucked

Set

Ninetales-Alola
- Blizzard
- Slash
- Ice Beam
- Hyper Beam / Rest

Full Movepool

Bide, Body Slam, Confuse Ray, Dig, Hyper Beam, Mimic, Rage, Reflect, Rest, Skull Bash, Substitute, Swift, Tail Whip, Double-Edge, Double Team, Ember, Quick Attack, Roar, Take Down, Toxic, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Aurora Beam, Mist, Fake Tears, Slash

Movepool: Light Screen, Psychic, Reflect, Rest, Stun Spore, Double Team, Dream Eater, Toxic, Hyper Beam, Solar Beam, Mega Drain, Sleep Powder, Substitute, Fleur Cannon.
Description: The lead metagame has been solved. Not only Ribombee outspeeds every common lead, but it also threatens all of them: Alakazam, Jynx and Exeggutor are OHKOd by Fleur Cannon), Starmie gets very damaged and Gengar is scared by Psychic (with high crit chance).

We'll have another (likely uneventful) discussion slate before we move on to another Pokemon slate.

 

[PokemonMasterDebater]

Houndoom when it sees that Fire Spin hasn't been Removed from it's movepool:

(This post may age poorly)

Ribombee: A lighting fast Double Powder user that also can OHKO several Psychic types, itself included; Ribombee will likely be to this meta as Deoxys-Speed is to Gen4 Ubers. It is the Star that the entire lead metagame must orbit around. Jolteon can trade status with it while not being too threatend, Aerodactyl has about a 44% chance to win the lead matchup this without getting statused, (either OHKOing with Crit STAB or dodging a powder), and Crafty Shield users like Porygon and Magnezone force awkward 50/50s that will sometimes work in their favor. But the simplest/most reliable method of beating your opponent's Ribombee is to also use Ribombee and win the speed tie. It feels fitting, given how RBY OU matches often come down to Tauros mirrors or Snorlax mirrors, or Chancy mirrors, to have matches often start off with lead mirrors.

Alright, here we go

- Pokémon Slate 9 - ​

This slate is the last Pokemon Slate, where you can add any future gen Dark, Steel, and Fairy-type Pokémon to the metagame! This is also the last slate for the mod.

Rules (Also on the OP)
- During Pokemon slates, you will sub any future generation Dark, Steel, or Fairy-type Pokemon and adapt it into a Gen 1 environment by changing their typing, stats, and movepool.
- You are allowed to sub 1 Pokemon of each type during the slate. You must specify which voting category your Pokemon fits into (as denoted on the submission template below), which covers for cases like Bisharp or Grimmsnarl, who have multiple future typings.
- When subbing Pokemon, you will change their typing (obviously), as well as their stats and movepools. Movepools are based on their current generation movepools, automatically including any move they learn that exists in Gen 1 + any moves added to the mod through Move Slates that they already learn (keep this in mind if you sub anything that learns Snarl, Steel Wing, or Strange Steam).
- Pokemon subs can be vetoed if they are broken, so try to stay in OU's power level. This especially important for Slate 1 as we don't want to change the power level of the metagame that much so early.
- Eligible Pokemon from Legends: Arceus can be submitted, including Qwilfish-Hisui, Overqwil, Sliggo-Hisui, Goodra-Hisui, and Enamorus.
- Future Gen Pokemon who have a Mega Evolution that give them one of the eligible types are allowed to be subbed as their base form. This allows you to sub Altaria and Audino as Fairies.
- To decide what gets added to the metagame, we'll use a non-ranked vote. Whichever sub gets the most votes in each category will win and get added to the metagame, giving us ~3 new Pokemon each slate and ~30 new Pokemon throughout the mod.
- Any prevolutions of the Pokemon you sub that win will automatically be added. Their stats, typing, and movepools will be decided by council based on your winning sub, so you do not have to include these with your submission.
- Submissions for Pokemon slates last 5 days, with 1 day of voting and 1 day of a discussion phase

Pokémon: Honchkrow
Category: Dark
New Type: Flying

Stats: 100/125/52/105/60 (442/547 BST)
Movepool: Drill Peck, Steel Wing, Taunt, Haze, Fireblast, Psychic, Substitute, Submission, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Confuse Ray, Dream Eater, Hyperbeam, Snarl, Rest
Competitive Overview: Pure flying is a unique typing, and it has decent bulk alongside high attacking stats make it a decent paralysis abuser (confuse ray para, anyone?)

Pokémon: Goodra-Hisui
Category: Steel
New Type: Dragon

Stats: 80/100/100/110/60 (450/560 BST)
Movepool: Body Slam, Counter, Hyperbeam, Rock Slide, Sludge, Strange Steam, Substitute, Thunderbolt, Toxic, Surf, Rest, Surf, Heay Slam.
Competitive Overview: Physically tankier Chansey with a less diverse movepool but a more immediately threatening one.

Pokémon: Enamorus-Therian
Category: Fairy
New Type: Psychic/Flying

Stats: 74/115/80/100/46 (415/515 BST)
Movepool: Psychic, Earthquake, Hyperbeam, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Rest, Sludge, Strange Steam, Taunt, Fairy Lock
Competitive Overview: Big Stat Stick, slow setup sweeper, fairy lock abuser, potential rest tank.

 

[Eeveeto]

Pokemon: Umbreon.
New type: Rock
Stats: 65/60/130/110/65 (430 BST).
Movepool: Body Slam, Reflect, Rest, Substitute, Bide, Bite, Double Edge, Double Team, Focus Energy, Growl, Mimic, Quick Attack, Rage, Sand Attack, Skull Bash, Swift, Tackle, Tail Wind, Take Down, Toxic, Taunt, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Fake Tears, Dream Eater, Hyper Beam, Snarl, Heavy Slam, Lash Out (Bold moves are the ones that are not learned by Eevee).
Description: Ok, if Umbreon can be Poison type and can,t be Ghost type, the only other type that kinda makes sense is Rock (what is the Moon? Just a big rock floating in the space.). As a Rock type, Umbreon its a slow mixed Sweeper that also takes hits very well, though he does have 4 weaknesses. With Heavy Slam, he damages the Normal types, with Lash Out he prevents Surf Starmie from being a free counter and with Psychic he does the same for Victreebel. Apart from the many weaknesses, main problem this variant of Umbreon has is the inability to damage Exeggutor (and to a lesser extent, the Alakazam match-up too).

Pokemon: Sandslash Alola
New type: Ice-Ground
Stats: 75/100/120/55/55 (405 BST)
Movepool: Agility, Blizzard, Body Slam, Counter, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Rest, Sword Dance, Substitute, Amnesia, Dig, Hyperbeam, Toxic, Slash.
Description: Ice-Ground combo hits everything at least neutrally in RBY and Sandslash has 3 boosting Moves to abuse whatever combination he wants. Still, defensively the typing is not good, outside of Electric and Thunder Wave immunity, so Sandslash has troubles actually boosting. The Blizzard damage is also lacking, for example at +0 it can,t 2HKO Exeggutor and doesn,t always OHKO Dragonite. Sandslash does kinda wall Boltbeam Chansey and Zapdos, but has big troubles vs Cloyster and Starmie.

Pokemon: Ninetales Alola
New type: Ice-Ghost
Stats: 73/67/75/100/109
Movepool: Blizzard, Body Slam, Disable, Ice Beam, Rest, Roar, Substitute, Aurora Beam, Confuse Ray, Dream Eater, Hyper Beam, Hypnosis, Solar Beam, Tackle, Tail Whip, Lick, Night Shade, Crafty Shield.
Description: Walls Normal Mons, but still can,t beat Chansey without significant hax. Does however handily beat Snorlax and can also beat Tauros one on one (even without Reflect, which I originally gave, but eventually discarded due to being very hard to break with it). Starmie match-up is pretty bad, unless you epicly use Solar Beam (or Crafty Shield the obvious TW), Alakazam and Jynx aren,t much better (outside of lead position). This Mon can work as a very competent lead with Hypnosis + Crafty Shield, forcing Ribombee to predict instead of just launching Sleep Powder. Opposing Ice and Water Mons are the main enemies of Ninetales, Chansey too if both Sleep and Freeze Clauses are already in effect (or if Chansey is paralyzed).

I haven't had a chance to fine tune these as much as I want, so feel free to comment if you think that anything needs to be tuned down.

Pokémon: Jirachi
Category: Steel
New Type:

Stats: 70/100/90/90/100 [450 BST]
New Moves: Bide, Earthquake, Dig, Fissure
Removed Moves: Amnesia, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Light Screen, Thunder Wave
Competitive Overview: Ground type that can come in safely on Fighting and Psychic moves. Sorta like Mew, but without Soft-boiled and Swords Dance. Can be 3HKO'd by Ice moves from all of the Big 3.

Example set

Jirachi
Ability: No Ability
- Earthquake
- Psychic
- Rest
- Reflect

Pokémon: Zarude
Category: Dark
New Type:

Stats: 105/120/100/70/105 [500 BST]
New Moves: Bide, Earthquake, Fissure
Removed Moves: Low Kick, Snarl, Growth
Competitive Overview: Fast Pivot/Cleaner that is immune to T-Wave but has a deadly cold allergy. Even non-stab ice moves like Tauros' Blizzard have a Chance to OHKO.

Example set

Zarude
Ability: No Ability
- Earthquake
- Lash Out
- Taunt
- Bind

Pokémon: Diancie
Category: Fairy
New Type:

Stats: 48/100/150/130/52 [480 BST]
New Moves: Growth, Heavy Slam, Bide, Body Slam, Double Edge, Earthquake, Dig, Snarl
Removed Moves: Amnesia, Fire Punch, Reflect, Light Screen, Explosion,
Competitive Overview: A versatile boosting sweeper, that can build around Sharpen and/or Harden. Its 150 Defense looks crazy, but without STAB its Heavy Slam deals comparable damage to Tapu Koko's, and its HP is low enough that it has lower physical bulk than every other rock in and around this meta. Its HP is just low enough that it is 3HKO'd by Seismic Toss.

Example set

Diancie
Ability: No Ability
- Harden
- Snarl
- Rest
- Heavy Slam

Pokémon: Mawile
Category: Fairy
New Type: Normal
Stats: 70 / 95 / 105 / 65 / 45 [380]
New Moves: Rage and Bide as universals
Removed Moves: Swords Dance
Competitive Overview: So you look at this and wonder: why would I ever use this over Tauros, Snorlax or even other bad Normals like Kangaskhan? Then you look at the movepool and see Super Fang. Super Fang creates so many KO paths with Hyper Beam, giving it a 51% chance to KO Tauros and a guaranteed KO on Chansey. It is incredible at punishing switches, though its frailty gives some risks to its strategy. Sing could also be game changing.

full movepool

Bite, Body Slam, Counter, Double Team, Double-Edge, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Growl, Headbutt, Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Ice Punch, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Mimic, Rest, Rock Slide, Seismic Toss, Sing, Slam, Solar Beam, Strength, Substitute, Super Fang, Thunder Punch, Toxic, Vise Grip, Rage, Bide

Pokémon: Heatran
Category: Steel
New Type: Fire
Stats: 91 HP / 130 Atk / 106 Def / 106 Spc / 77 Spe [510 BST]
New Moves: Rage, Mimic, Bide
Removed Moves: Solarbeam, Earthquake
Competitive Overview: Fires are pretty bad this gen, but Heatran presents a unique approach to addressing its flaws. The Rocks dislike dealing with Fire Blast doing a quarter (except Tyranitar), especially with the 30% burn getting factored in. Explosion covers the Waters trying to come in, OHKOing Starmie and doing a significant chunk to the rest. Fire Spin will also let it play trapping games, getting things into range for its Explosion.

full movepool

Body Slam, Dig, Double Team, Explosion, Fire Blast, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Headbutt, Hyper Beam, Leer, Rest, Roar, Rock Slide, Self-Destruct, Strength, Substitute, Toxic, Rage, Mimic, Bide

Competitive Overview: Went all the way back to Slate 1 for this lol. Originally made this pure Ghost, but it sounded annoying like that, so it's Flying now because Hurricanes. Anyway, Absol's a weird hybrid of offense and defense here, with one of the highest Attack stats in the game and access to SD, Drill Peck, Hyper Beam, and Slash, with perfectly usable Special and Blizzard to hit Rhydon, plus defensive utility in TWave and a Ground immunity. It's quite a glass cannon though, taking a huge chunk from almost anything and Wish doesn't exist for it unfortunately

Submissions are now closed!

However, before we get to voting, we've deemed a lot of subs this slate to be too strong and thus we'd like them tweaked before we get to voting, making it our first veto slate in awhile. Submissions are still open during the next 24 hours that we're allowing submissions to get fixed, as well.

Pokémon: Honchkrow
Category: Dark
New Type: Ghost/Flying

Stats: 100/125/52/105/60 (442/547 BST)
Movepool: Drill Peck, Nightshade, Steel Wing, Taunt, Haze, Fireblast, Psychic, Substitute, Submission, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Confuse Ray, Dream Eater, Nightshade, Hyperbeam, Snarl, Rest
Competitive Overview: Ghost Type that can switch into eqs, trading that immunity for rock, electric and ice weaknesses, Jack of all trades, master of none.

Ghost/Flying is an insane typing on anything with real stats as it essentially makes a Pokémon immune to physical moves that aren't Rock-type, of which there aren't many in OU. This makes a core like this + Chansey + a Rock-resist super hard to break through. Thus, we recommend that you change Honchkrow's typing to pure Flying

Pokémon: Goodra-Hisui
Category: Steel
New Type: Dragon/Normal

Stats: 80/100/100/110/60 (450/560 BST)
Movepool: Body Slam, Counter, Hyperbeam, Rock Slide, Sludge, Strange Steam, Substitute, Thunderbolt, Toxic, Surf, Rest, Surf, Heay Slam.
Competitive Overview: Physically tankier Chansey with a less diverse movepool but a more immediately threatening one.

Goodra's stats and movepool are probably just a little too good to have such a good typing as Normal, so making it pure Dragon would make it a little more manageable

Pokémon: Enamorus-Therian
Category: Fairy
New Type: Psychic/Flying

Stats: 74/115/110/135/46 (480/615 BST)
Movepool: Psychic, Earthquake, Hyperbeam, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Rest, Sludge, Strange Steam, Taunt, Fairy Lock, Growth
Competitive Overview: Big Stat Stick, slow setup sweeper, fairy lock abuser, potential rest tank.

You did say that this was a stat stick, but those stats with a Psychic-typing and a good movepool are just a little much. We recommend removing Growth and lowering its Defense and Special a good amount

Pokémon: Jirachi
Category: Steel
New Type:

Stats: 80/100/100/90/100 [470 BST]
New Moves: Bide, Earthquake, Dig, Fissure
Removed Moves: Amnesia, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Light Screen,
Competitive Overview: Ground type T-Waver that can come in safely on Fighting and Psychic moves. Sorta like Mew, but without Soft-boiled and Swords Dance. Can be 3HKO'd by Ice moves from all of the Big 3.

This is almost okay on paper, but Ground/Psychic is such a good typing that Jirachi's otherwise meh stats combined with its amazing movepool becomes really dangerous. We recommend reducing its bulk a little bit as well as either removing Thunder Wave or its Psychic-typing

Pokémon: Diancie
Category: Fairy
New Type:

Stats: 48/100/150/150/52 [500 BST]
New Moves: Growth, Heavy Slam, Bide, Body Slam, Double Edge, Earthquake, Dig, Snarl
Removed Moves: Amnesia, Fire Punch, Reflect, Light Screen, Explosion,
Competitive Overview: A versatile boosting sweeper, that can build around Sharpen, Growth and/or Harden. Its 150 Defense and Special looks crazy, but without STAB it's Psychic is comparable to Slowbro's, and its Heavy Slam deals comparable damage to Tapu Koko's. The only Pokemon that has access to both Harden and Growth. Its HP is just low enough that it is 3HKO'd by Seismic Toss.

Diancie's stats are just a little crazy, namely its Special bulk is kinda ridiculous when it's not weak to any common special moves that aren't Razor Leaf and has Growth. Thus, we recommend lowering its Special and removing Growth

You will have 24 hours to apply these changes and then voting will begin

Wow, those fixes happened fast!! Thanks everyone.

Vote for your top 3 in each category. Everyone subbed for all 3 and so they may self vote themselves in first place once.

We'll probably close voting in about 24 hours, right before the dawn of the new generation.

Btw, since Gen 9 arrived and there are many Steels, Fairys and especially Dark Mons, maybe another slate or 2 could be done to reflect that.
