What are its stats? I wanna know :3
Pokemon Name: Machamp-GMax
Role: Strong, Bulky Physical attacker, yet isn’t too fast.
Stat Changes (If Any):
Ability Changes (If Any):
Movepool Changes (If Any):
G-Max Move Effects: Raises Speed by 1
G-Max Move Drawbacks: Reduces Pokemon’s HP by 1/10th (Life Orb Effect)
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: Machamp is different, with higher base attack and access to the coveted Guts ability. Fun fact: Machamp G-Max, with Guts activated, has a higher Attack than Double Band Darmanitan-Galar! However, a low Speed makes Machamp outsped easily, something that Darmanitan-Galar does not have an issue with. The speed increasing of G-Max Chi Strike partially solves this issue, however this comes at the price of decreasing your health. Overall, Machamp-GMax is outclassed by Darmanitan-Galar in OU (although Machamp’s higher Attack could potentially make it a niche wallbreaker!), but it could serve a purpose in Ubers where it’s Attack stat is nearly on par with Zacian-Crowned, it could function as a second Physical Sweeper.
Stats are the same as in the spreadsheet. Should I paste those stats here?
Yea, I don't even know what spreadsheet you are talking about...
Pokemon Name: Flapple
Role: DDancer that's strong, but limited coverage and slow
Normal Stat Changes: 80 / 110 / 85 / 95 / 65 / 70 (505 BST, +10 HP, +5 Def, +5 SpD, )
G-Max Stat Changes: 100 / 115 / 85 / 95 / 65 / 75 (550 BST, +20 HP, +5 Atk, +10 Def, +10 SpD, +5 Spe)
Movepool Changes (If Any): Crunch, Refresh
G-Max Move Effects: Lowers opponents Defense by 1, increases your accuracy by 1.
G Max move drawbacks: BP = Max Knuckle BP + 10
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?:
Unlike Klinklang, Flapple can threaten its resists with Grav Apple and G-Max Tartness, threatening cores that rely on resisting STABs. Flapple can't boost its speed by +2, however. Flapple seperates itself from other DDancers with its absurd Hustle Outrages, relying on Grav Apple to break through steels. Flapple also can't threaten too much without dancing first and can be revenged easily.
Dynamax Flapple can set up Grassy Terrain for itself, providing immediately stronger Grass moves out of the bat - and buffing Flapple outside of Dynamax. However Max-Wyrmwind is strong neough especially after Tart Apple.
Second Place
Pokemon Name: Charizard
Role: Fire Type Mixed Attacker
Gigantamax Stat Changes: 78 / 114 (+30) / 78 / 119 (+10) / 85 / 110 (+10) (584 BST)
G-Max Move Changes (If Any): Destroys foe's consumable items
G-Max Move Drawback: 33% recoil
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Close Combat, Fly
Fly: Charge turn nullified when used by a Flying type Pokemon
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: Offensive Fire types exist, but none that can hit on both sides of the offensive spectrum quite like Gigantamax Charizard. The closest thing to one is Arcanine, who doesn't have the useful Flying dual STAB, nor as much Speed and power overall. However, Charizard also doesn't have the defensive utility of Arcanine with lesser bulk and no Intimidate, as well as no priority and slightly worse coverage overall. Still a threat though, so watch out
Pokemon Name: Garbodor
Role: Wearing down the foe via hazards and Poison spreading
Gigantamax Stat Changes: 80 / 105 (+10) / 107 (+25) / 60 / 107 (+25) / 65 (-10) (524 BST)
G-Max Move Changes (If Any): Sets Toxic Spikes on the foe's side of the field. Toxic Spikes set this way cannot be nullified by Poison types.
G-Max Move Drawback: Lowers Speed by 1
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Earthquake, Iron Tail, Knock Off, Stealth Rock
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: Garbodor is the only available Pokemon aside from Mew with access to both Spikes variants and Stealth Rock. In comparison to other suicide leads, Garbodor specializes in getting off as much passive damage as possible via hazards, G-Max Malodor setting Toxic Spikes and techniques like Aftermath and Explosion. That said, it can't do much against common Defoggers like Corviknight, and its ever-decreasing speed can cause issues.
Pokemon Name: Kingler-GMax
Role: Strong Physical Attacker that can outspeed opponents.
Stat Changes (If Any): 55 / 150 (+20) / 115 / 50 / 50 / 105 (+30)
Ability Changes (If Any):
Movepool Changes (If Any): + Close Combat, Earthquake, Stone Edge
G-Max Move Effects: Lowers opponent’s Speed by 2
G-Max Move Drawbacks: Removes All entry Hazards from opponents side of the field (Rapid Spin against you.)
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: With higher base attack and Speed makes Kingler-GMax far stronger than it ever was. However, it’s Speed is still an issue, leaving outsped by multiple foes. It’s type also makes it weak to Thunderbolts from common Dragapult. The speed decreasing of G-Max Foam Burst partially solves this issue, however this comes at the price of removing entry hazards from the opponent’s side of the field, something that is not helpful to Kingler. Despite this, Kingler serves a brilliant role as a strong Physical sweeper that is still fast and is hard to deal with.

G-Max Move Effects: Ignores all abilities. Pokemon immune to Electric due to type are now 1* effective.
G Max move drawbacks: 33% Recoil
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: Normal Pikachu is now usable as a frail, powerful Volt Switcher. Jolteon is stronger, able to use (Choice) Items, and is bulkier. Pikachu also likes being able to use physical attacks, but Volt Switch is special. Pikachu's coverage options are also mostly special - while it has coverage (over Jolteon), it doesn't like the limited power. Volt Tackle and G-Max Volt Crash cause recoil, limiting Pikachu's longetivity.
G-Max Pikachu is bulky enough not to get picked on by Priority and can smash through a Pikachu check. But even with the buffs, Pikachu is prone to being revenged by faster threats (especially after Recoil). Its still fast enough that it can clean bulkier teams, after revengers are removed.
Dynamax PIkachu is much faster than G-Max, allowing Pikachu to (potentially) survive a stray priority hit. Setting up E-Terrain is also stronger than G-Max's attack buffs.
Gardevoir's Speed can't go that high since that's put it at 538 BST, with the limit being 535
Which is why i can't allow it. No outclassing pre-existing stuff, thank you very much. Besides, auto-Electric Terrain + Bolt Beak sounds just a bit dumb.
Adaptability Fish Rend is weaker than STAB Strong Jaw Fish Rend, and thats ignoring all of Arctovish's other numerous problems.
