I'm afraid not :P There aren't that many submissions though, and they start here.Do we have a spreadsheet?
WDYM by Dragon Energy: Magic? (If this is a really dumb question, sorry.)Ok so we figured out the slate here we go
After a poll on our Discord server we've decided the two new Regis would be the first Crown Tundra Pokemon we would tackle. It may seem premature to do them this early on but people have been voicing issue with how these Pokemon are design, notably their extremely one-dimensional movepools and certain other inconsistencies with the original 3 Regis. As such they need more heavy-duty modification than the birds and should receive that attention first. Doing just 2 Pokemon would be kinda barren though so we've decided to toss in Relicanth as it ties back into the whole Regi theme seeing as how it was vital for the original Regi puzzle in RSE as well as being another notoriously weak Pokemon we have yet

Typing:/
Stats (changes highlighted in bold): 100 / 110 (+20) / 130 / 45 / 65 / 55 (505 BST)
Abilities (changes highlighted in bold): Unaware, Rock Head, Primordial Sea, if not reasonable then just keep Sturdy
Moves: +Flip Turn, Slam
How this makes it more interesting:
Not really much you can do with this fishy tbh. All that's doable is buffing up what it can do. Unaware and Primordial Sea are meta references to its age and unchanging nature, the latter could be a funny pick but I understand if it's considered too excessive for a normal Pokemon.
Pokémon: Regieleki
Typing:
Stats (changes highlighted in bold): 80 / 100 / 45 (-5) / 125 (+25) / 50 / 200 (600 BST)
Abilities (changes highlighted in bold): Motor Drive, Berserk
Moves: +Discharge, Earthquake, Focus Blast, Flash Cannon, Superpower, Zing Zap
Tweaks to existing moves/abilities:
Thunder Cage: 90 BP, 100% accurate
How this makes it more interesting:
Far less one-dimensional than the vanilla version now that it has actual coverage and abilities that facilitate the boosted SpA. Berserk in particular is meant to reference this:
"This Pokémon is a cluster of electrical energy. It's said that removing the rings on Regieleki's body will unleash the Pokémon's latent power." -Sword dex entry
The stat changes are designed to give it the same points as CFM OG Regis but re-arranged.
Pokémon: Regidrago
Typing:
Stats (changes highlighted in bold): 200 / 125 (+25) / 50 / 100 / 45 (-5) / 80 (600 BST)
Abilities (changes highlighted in bold): Mold Breaker, Intimidate
Moves: +Earthquake, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Ice Fang, Poison Fang, Superpower
Tweaks to existing moves/abilities:
Dragon Energy: Magic
How this makes it more interesting:
Similar MO to Regieleki where the changes are in the name of diversifying what it can do. Mold Breaker is a Dragon staple in CFM and Intimidate synergizes somewhat with Dragon Energy by letting it take less damage so that move can apply its full effect.
"Magic" is the term we use sometimes to mean "physical or special depending on higher attack stat"WDYM by Dragon Energy: Magic? (If this is a really dumb question, sorry.)
That's a very interesting pair! Coalossal's is kind of underwhelming on the whole and its typing makes it extremely matchup-dependent. Its signature move in Tar Shot's also pretty useless..Other than the rest of the Galarian flops, here are some 8 gen mons that could use some help

A Rock/Fire type that almost works. Ultimately let down by its mediocre offensive stats and competition with other defensive Rock types.

Raise your hand who was disappointed when this thing's stats were revealed.
Hmm, the problem with doing the birbs all at once is that they kind of have to "match" the existing CFM birbs. They also need to be consistent with each other, so if this were to be a slate, I'd have to insist that they have to be submitted as a trio.could be one possible slate
too. (respectively) guts, mold breaker and no guard isnt enough.
First off, good to see you back =)As for Frosmoth, it's not that bad, is it? It's a little on the slow side, but with its bulk and power, so what?
It's notable that we still have Hidden Power here, so Frosmoth can use that to get through steel types after a Quiver Dance and some chip damage.First off, good to see you back =)
Now on Frosmoth, this thing is held back mostly by its terrible typing and its inability to get past any Steel type. But yeah, despite being yet another slow Ice type, it is actually unique at that.

Anyway, here are more ideas for a slate. These guys have in common that have an unique gimmick (Octolock for Grapploct and No Retreat for Falinks) but fail at that (both have dropped to Untiered).
Thanks, man! And thanks for the suggestions!First off, good to see you back =)
