This is where Perfect Galar comes in. This is a miscellaneous changes mod much in the lieu of Sylvemons with a very simple but very ambitious goal in mind: To make a Sword and Shield OU metagame where every single fully evolved Pokemon in the Galar Pokedex has a unique, valuable niche.
As stated earlier, this will be accomplished via community-driven slates. But what exactly might happen in these slates?
Stat Re-Adjustments: Obviously, some Pokemon will have to get their stats buffed to keep up. 535 will be the BST cap for all normal Pokemon with no more than +50 points for any Pokemon. Anything already above that threshold cannot have their BST heightened further. Legendaries' BSTs must also be kept the same.
Custom Elements: In the interest of accessibility, the introduction of custom abilities, items and moves will be kept to a minimum. Instead, we will try to buff pre-existing stuff to the best of our ability, keeping their original purpose in mind (eg no turning ring target into a blank special attack buffer).
Other Pokemon Buffs: Aside from editing stats, Pokemon can have altered ability sets and movepools. A Pokemon's typing may not be changed at all, and its basic role cannot be changed either (eg no making Shiinotic into a fast sweeper).
Pokemon-Exclusive Traits: I have already stated my intention to avoid custom elements as much as possible. However, in extenuating circumstances where a Pokemon cannot be given an interesting, valuable role with these restrictions in mind even after multiple revisions, they may be given exclusive buffs. These could come in multiple ways, more specifically custom Gigantamax forms, exclusive items and abilities.
Legality: For the most part only the original Galar dex + the first 35 Home-exclusive mons are legal. However a select few DLC Pokemon have been allowed in via slates. All DLC tutor moves are also legal.
Anywho, here's the submission template:
Pokemon Name:
Role: (e.g. sweeper that relies on x set-up move, special attacker for y type). Again, do not stray too far from the roles they were initially meant to occupy.
Stat Changes (If Any):
Ability Changes (If Any):
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: This is the most important part of any submission. I'm not expecting a thesis paper, but you need to provide some pretty compelling reasoning for why when building a team one would use this Pokemon over other options. For example, if you're trying to buff Blastoise, you need to explain to me what substantial niches your submission has over other Shell Smash sweepers and/or bulky Waters depending on which aspect you want to focus on. "Oh it has x coverage move which can hit y for a bit more damage than other mons" is not good enough.

And one more thing...
Here is the spreadsheet. Upon looking at it, you may notice that I've already formulated a substantial revamp to the Dynamax mechanic! I would advise reading through it, for it may affect how you go about your submissions. We will not be banning the mechanic, instead trying to keep it balanced via the measures such as the ones I have put in place already and other nerfs/readjustments if necessary. Also, here is a Discord server.
Now Playable On...
