My deepest apologies for not closing this, I wanted to three days ago but it slipped my memory. I'll try my best to be better about this going forward.
Anyways, the winners for the Mountain Climbers are Emergence's Wakitty and PokePoindexter's Cruchick...
The winning gift Pokemon is Ema Skye's Gifsterious...
And last, the mythical is Scoopapa's Hyakada...
And for the next slate...
Lakes and Rivers

For this slate, we'll be subbing Pokemon meant for bodies of water. Fish, turtles, amphibians...you all get the gist, whatever you all think would be fitting for Brazdo. These can be anything from one-stage to three-stage as well. I'll probably give you all until the 24th to submit, but I will give a 48 hour warning in advance. See you guys then!
Anyways, the winners for the Mountain Climbers are Emergence's Wakitty and PokePoindexter's Cruchick...
Name: Wakitty (wawa, Inca word for baby, + kitty)
Typing:![]()
Abilities: Snow Cloak / Slush Rush / Cute Charm (HA)
Base Stats: 42 / 60 / 40 / 60 / 40 / 73 (315)
Height/Weight: 0.4 m / 4 kg
Flavour/Design: Wakitty is a chimera kitten (the left and right halves of its face are different colors) with icy cold light blue fur, with one half of its face a pale yellow and the other black. There is a small zigzag symbol under one eye and a moon-shaped symbol under the other eye. Wakitty lives on snowy mountaintops, with its fur helping it blend into the snow. Wakitty may be small but they are fully capable of hunting and defending themselves. Evolves into Cougaquil with max happiness during the day, or into Jagaska at night.
Name: Cougaquil (cougar + Catequil, an Inca god of lightning)
Typing:![]()
![]()
Abilities: Snow Cloak / Slush Rush / Moxie (HA)
Base Stats: 70 / 112 / 70 / 90 / 60 / 113 (515)
Notable Moves: Icicle Crash, Ice Shard, Zing Zap, Wild Charge, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Freeze-Dry, Play Rough, Crunch, U-turn, Volt Switch, Nuzzle, Taunt, Hone Claws, Agility
Height/Weight: 1.4 m / 60 kg
Flavour/Design: Cougaquil is a cougar with light blue fur and yellow lightning bolt patterns along its body and behind its ears. Cougaquil prowls snowy mountains and caves, subduing prey with powerful thunderbolts or blasts of ice.
Competitive: Cougaquil has the famed Ice/Electric STAB combo with high speed and the offenses to use it. Icicle Crash and Zing Zap/Wild Charge are its main moves, with priority in Ice Shard and pivoting in U-turn or Volt Switch. Hone Claws could possibly be used to set up with the switches it forces, synergizing well with Icicle Crash's imperfect accuracy. Moxie allows it to snowball.
Name: Jagaska (jaguar + Ch'aska, Inca goddess of dawn and twilight)
Typing:![]()
![]()
Abilities: Snow Cloak / Slush Rush / Prowess* (HA)
Base Stats: 70 / 90 / 60 / 112 / 70 / 113 (515)
Notable Moves: Ice Beam, Freeze-Dry, Dark Pulse, Night Daze, Moonblast, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, U-turn, Taunt, Calm Mind, Moonlight, Agility
Custom Feature: Prowess* - Moxie clone that boosts SpA
Height/Weight: 1.5 m / 75 kg
Flavour/Design: Jagaska is a jaguar with light blue fur and black spots on its body. Its eyes are pale and pupil-less, resembling the moon. Hiding in the shadows on snowy mountains through the day, they emerge at night to hunt. Jagaska are known to stalk their prey for several hours through the night, waiting until their prey falls asleep to attack.
Competitive: The special counterpart to Cougaquil, Jagaska still has a potent offensive STAB combo, solid coverage options, and U-turn or Calm Mind. Its new ability Prowess lets it snowball.
Name: Cruchick (Crude [oil] + Chick)
Typing:/![]()
![]()
Ability: Corrosion / Refrigerate (Hidden: Merciless)
Base Stats: 80 / 33 / 65 / 43 / 70 / 34 (Total: 325)
Notable Moves: Ice Beam, Blizzard, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Toxic, Haze, Stockpile, Spit Up, Swallow, Corrosive Gas, Toxic Spikes
Flavor/Design: A blue-gray rockhopper penguin chick with a small acid green crest drooping over its head like oil. Cruchick became a Poison-type following an oil spill in a lake located in the mountains of Brazda. Overexposure to oil has made Cruchick sluggish and lethargic in comparison to its ancestors.
Name: Pengroleum (Penguin + Petroleum)
Typing:/![]()
![]()
Ability: Corrosion / Refrigerate (Hidden: Merciless)
Base Stats: 115 / 63 / 100 / 78 / 105 / 64 (Total: 505)
Notable Moves: Ice Beam, Blizzard, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Toxic, Haze, Stockpile, Spit Up, Swallow, Corrosive Gas, Toxic Spikes, Body Press, Toxic Snowball
New Features:
Toxic Snowball
Type: Ice/Status
Effect: Protects the user. Deals 25% damage to and Poisons opponents that try to use Special Attacks. May fail if used in succession.
Flavor/Design: A fully-grown indigo-and-white rockhopper penguin with a larger crest. Pengroleum carries more than 20 gallons of oil inside its body and on its feathers. It is considered a public health hazard and is forbidden to keep outside of Pokeballs in several parts of Brazda.
Potential Competitive Role: Pengroleum is pretty clearly a defensive mon. Options like Toxic (with Corrosion), Haze, Toxic Spikes, and the combination of Stockpile and Swallow are all at its disposal. Alternatively, Merciless allows Pengroleum to do some decent damage to Poisoned opponents and helps avenge its lackluster offensive stats. And, of course, there's its signature attack Toxic Snowball, which is an amped-up Baneful Bunker that triggers against Special attacks instead. Although its typing leaves a lot to be desired and its movepool isn't particularly large, Pengroleum can be a nasty wall to break when played correctly.
The winning gift Pokemon is Ema Skye's Gifsterious...
Name: Gifsterious (gift + mysterious), the Present Pokemon.
Typing: Normal
Ability: Thoughtful (This Pokemon's type is the same as the last Pokemon in the party)
Base Stats: 90 / 90 / 90 / 90 / 90 / 90 (540 BST)
Notable Moves: Level Up: Present, Copycat, Mimic, Confide, Captivate, Celebrate, Play Nice, Metronome, Helping Hand, Follow Me, Wish, Healing Wish, After You, Reflect Type, Happy Hour, Hold Hands
TM/TR: Everything
Flavour/Design: Children in Brazado give this Pokemon to each other as a thought of friendship. It resembles a box, though it looks like a child has turned it into a creature with marker stripes, paper taped in different directions, paper ears (in two different colors), googly eyes on its side and a giant pompom for its tail. Once it has been given to the recipient, it can never be opened, serving as a thoughtful reminder of friendship, even into adulthood.
Potential Competitive Role: Limiting stats due to everything being average, but it can do virtually everything. It's a great wildcard, playing a lot like Mew. While Mew has better stats, you can influence Gifsterious' typing to help it fit into any team composition.
And last, the mythical is Scoopapa's Hyakada...
Name: Hyakada
Typing: Rock / Ice
Ability: Solar Flare*
Base Stats: 85 / 115 / 95 / 115 / 75 / 115 | BST: 600
Flare Forme: 85 / 135 / 55 / 135 / 105 / 135 | BST: 650
Notable Moves:
Physical: Century Blade*, Stone Edge, Triple Axel, Flare Blitz, Sacred Sword, Solar Blade, Explosion, Rapid Spin
Special: Meteor Beam, Power Gem, Ice Beam, Aura Spere, Focus Blast, Solar Beam, Weather Ball,
Status: Swords Dance, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Morning Sun
New Features:
Solar Flare - Changes to Flare forme if Harsh Sunlight is active, reverts to base forme otherwise.
Century Blade - Rock type | Physical | 120 BP | 90 Acc. | 5-8 PP | Charges turn 1 and raises Def 1 stage. Hits turn two. Charges and hits in the same turn if Harsh Sunlight is active.
Potential Competitive Role: A fast and powerful mixed attacker. Rock and Ice are both great offensive types, and it has Fire and Fighting coverage to help deal with Steel types. However, it has a pretty atrocious defensive typing that will leave it getting 1-2HKOed even if it grabs a Defense boost or two. Outside of Sun, Special Meteor Beam sets would be superior. In sun, it can abuse its custom physical move to great effect.Design: Humanoid pokemon with a dark grey body and a large, rocky head that looks like a cicada's. It has relatively short arms and legs, with the forearms and shins being made of ice. It has two curved, thin, blade-like wings. In Flare forme, it emits a stream of red energy towards the sun, and floats above the ground.
Lore: This pokemon streaks through the sky every 100 years. It is considered an omen of death and destruction, but it is said that it sometimes lands on the Earth in order to lead a pure-hearted warrior (read: an 11 year-old child) to victory.
Origin: The pokemon is based on a comet; comets are made of rock and ice, hence the typing. For the name, I looked for an interesting name of a comet. There was a flyby of a comet called Hyakutake (named for the person who discovered it) in 1996. Hyakutake is Japanese for "100 Samurai", with Hyaku meaning "100". Because comets only appear every so often and it has "100" in the name, I decided to incorporate aspects of cicadas in the design, since they can hibernate underground for huge amounts of time and only emerge every so often.
And for the next slate...
