your vote is ilegal, super scope is an ability
Name: Sky Uppercut
Power: 95
Accuracy: 100
PP: 15
Category: Physical
Type: Fighting
Effect: It launches the opponent into the air and causes them to crash back down, dropping them on the hazards below and causing them to take 1/8th of their maximum health if there are any hazards on the field
Priority:
Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): Punching, Contact
Potential Pokémon With This Move:
Justification: This makes sky uppercut a pretty nice fighting option, by utilizing hazards you can achieve a decent amount of damage output and also get a consistent fighting option that some mons will love instead of relying on brick break or maybe who do not want to take the cc drop
Name: Hypnotic Horror | Blackout
Power: 130
Accuracy: 90%
PP: 5
Category: Special
Type: Psychic | Dark
Effect: Lowers the user's SpA by 2 stages.
Priority: 0
Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): usual
Potential Pokémon With This Move:
|
Justification: Only good Dark special STAB is Dark Pulse, and Fiery Wrath if you're Moltres-Galar. Ghost types only have Hex and Shadow Ball (Astral Barrage and Moongeist Beam are for legendaries only, they better stay this way). A simple clone of Overheat can fix that. Also giving it to Malamar can lead to really funny mixed sets.
Name: Syrup Bomb (Resub from slate 6)
Power: 60
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
Category:
Type:
Priority: 0
Flags: Same
Effect: Creates a Swamp on the opponent's side of the field.
Potential Pokémon With This Move:
Justification: Great speed control, that is balanced by being locked to an otherwise mid mon.
Name: Bonfire (RESUB)
|
| PP: 10 (16) | Power: 60 | Accuracy: 100% | Priority: +0
Effect: Physical if user's Atk > SpA. +20 BP for each other Pokémon in party that knows this move.
Flags: Protect, Mirror
Potential Pokémon:
Justification: Splash-able Fire-type attack that puts an emphasis on team building.
Name: Foul Future
Power: 120
Accuracy: 100%
PP: 10
Category:
Type:
Effect: Deals damage two turns after this move is used. At the end of that turn, the damage is calculated at that time and dealt to the Pokemon at the position the target had when the move was used.
Priority: 0
Flags: N/A
Potential Pokémon With This Move:
Justification: Physical Future Sight is a cool niche, and one I think Poison type best encapsulates. Combos well with strong fighting types
Name: Ki Blast
|
| PP: 5 (8) | Power: 140 | Accuracy: 100% | Priority: +0
Effect: The user is also damaged by the move (akin to Confusion but with 140 BP and SpA used) if the move hits at least one target, unless the user is immune to Fighting. Hit all targets. Magic Guard does not prevent the user from being directly damaged by itself due to working like Confusion self-damage, which Magic Guard does not prevent.
Flags: Protect, Mirror, Bulletproof
Potential Pokémon:
Justification: Hits harder than Focus Blast, far more reliable, but hurt the user in the process similar to Confusion. This drawback is unique compared to the physical Recoil moves and the likes of Steel Beam, as the self-hit can be mitigated, or worsened, depending on the user’s secondary type.
Name: Rainbow Blast
|
| PP: 5 (8) | Power: 130 | Accuracy: 90% | Priority: +0
Effect: 30% chance of lowering the opponent’s Special Attack by one stage.
Flags: Protect, Mirror
Potential Pokémon:
Justification: Very powerful Fairy-type move, but only a few Fairy-type Pokémon learns it, so it’s more of a coverage nuke. This also allows Special Attack oriented Eeveelutions to have a very helpful coverage, especially Espeon. (Sylveon would still prefer Pixilate Hyper Voice for it’s more reliable Accuracy.)
Name: Rock Climb (Revamp)
|
| PP: 5 (8) | Power: 120 | Accuracy: 85% | Priority: +0
Effect: 10% chance to confuse the target.
Flags: Protect, Mirror, Contact
Potential Pokémon: Old distribution +
Justification: Turning from yet another Normal-type HM into a powerful physical Rock-type HM / TM. The chance of confusion is reduced to make it far less annoying, but is there to give Sheer Force users a 156 BP Rock-type coverage… or STAB in Rampardos’ and Kleavor’s case! As Flareon and Leafeon can’t reliably use Rainbow Blast (if that move won), they have this move as their much helpful coverage move.
Name:Dungeon's Looplet
Effect: All abilities of the user's species are active at once. Self announces on switch-in ("(Pokemon) is inheriting power from a mysterious dungeon!"). Arena Trap, Power Construct, and Shadow Tag can't be active by this item.
Can Be Knocked Off (Yes or No): Yes
Ignored by Klutz (Yes or No): No
Fling Power & Effect: 60 BP, no additional effect
Justification: Removes opportunity cost on the ability slot for species like,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,

, and
by granting them the Pokebilities rule, but in exchange also limits their item slot, rewarding creativity for species that may want this item over other nice options in the metagame.
Name: Cursed Feather
Effect: If afflicted with status: the holder's attacks deal 1.3x damage, and it restores 1/8th of its max HP at the end of every turn. Ignores stat drops from burn/paralysis/frostbite.
Can Be Knocked Off: Yes
Ignored by Klutz: Yes
Fling Power & Effect: 80
Justification: Status deterrent, without being too good at soaking it.
Name: Eviolite | Training Wheels
Effect: If the holder's species can evolve, increase its defense, special attack and special defense by x1.5 | increase its attack and speed by x1.5
Can Be Knocked Off (Yes or No): Yes
Ignored by Klutz (Yes or No): Yes
Fling Power & Effect: 40bp.
Justification: Buffing both Training Wheels and Eviolite at the same time. I noted mostly just physical attackers used Training Wheels and that the few eviolite users that exist tend to prefer special attacks. With the training wheels, You get strong offensive pivots like Mienfoo, Primeape and Scyther and tanky special attackers like Haunter, Duraludon and Chansey.
Name: Gale Wings (re-sub)
Effect: This Pokemon's Flying-type moves have their priority increased by 1.
Permanent (Yes or No): Yes
Mold Breaker (Yes or No): No
Potential Pokémon With This Ability:
Justification: As it was submitted for in the past slate, it aims to add a new layer of priority to the tier to keep offensive playstyles in check while introducing potential viable Pokemon in Braviary for its large Attack stat with Bulk Up + Close Combat, along with Talonflame coming back as a relevant offense check as well.
Name: Snow FlurryIce Body/ Slush Rush ("new" | adjustment)
Effect: (Snow Flurry) "This Pokemon's Ice, Ghost, and Fairy attacks have 1.2x power. IfHailSnow is active, this Pokemon's Ice, Ghost, and Fairy attacks instead have 1.3x power and ignore user's Burn.HailFrostbite immunity."
(Slush Rush) "This Pokemon cannot be burned and frostbitten. IfHailSnow is active, this Pokemon's speed is doubled.Hail immunity"
(Gaining either ability cures Frostbite. Gaining Slush Rush also cures Burn.)
Permanent (Yes or No): No (both)
Mold Breaker (Yes or No): No (both; technically yes with Slush Rush and status, but said status would just get auto-healed, so....)
Potential Pokémon With This Ability: (Snow Flurry)Potentially all current Ice Body "users" if HydreigonTheChild's Ice Body change doesn't win(&

Justification: Snow should also be thrown a bone, but Voden's buffs were vetoedlastSlate 07, so this is approaching two of those abilities from a different direction (since I already subbed a Snow Cloak change that I may resub later). With Snow it makes sense to lean towards being both aggressive and diverse since Ice-typing has no real defensive benefits (especially with Caltrops now around too). So I'm lumping in Ghost as always while lumping Fairy mostly because as privileged as Fairy it is, thankfully isn't already buffed by anything unlike other Terrain-having types (and since Dark really doesn't need the buff on top of overlapping with Ghost anyway). If I was still doing Sand, then Snow Flurry (which would have been an Ice Body change until I saw HydreigonTheChild's) is how I would largely boost Sand Force for the record since it's not like Sand Force has ever been good, much like how Ice Body hasn't been good since like Gen 4 Stallrein. (Slush Rush was already mostly fine, just on largely underwhelming users, but it could still use a bit of a boost given being Ice type is suffering.)
Name: Pickup (RESUB)
Effect: If this Pokémon flings its item or it gets consumed, it recovers it at the end of the turn.
Permanent (Yes or No): No
Mold Breaker (Yes or No): No
Potential Pokémon With This Ability: Current +(replaces keen eye),
(replaces battle armor),
,
,
,
,
,
,
(replaces own tempo),
Justification: Fling is an underrated move and Pickup is a lame ability. This ability can now be used for all sorts of fun stuff such as restockable berries, air balloons, Power Herbs and more. You also get to spam fling for either a 130bp dark stab with big nugget or very annoying toxic orb / light orb spam.
Name: Cosmic Energy
Effect: Moves that require a turn of charge will charge immediatly.
Potential Pokémon With This Ability:
Justification: Power Herb but permanent. Should be cool for Meteor Beam spamming, or Skull Bash if my other sub wins, or also Solar Beam, Electro Shot...
Name: Rattled
Effect: Speed is raised 1 stage if hit by a Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost-type attack, or Intimidated. Resists Bug-, Dark-, and Ghost-type attacks; immune to Intimidate.
Permanent: Yes
Pierced by Mold Breaker: Yes
Potential Distribution: Current,,
,
,
(would probs replace super luck)
Justification: Makes Rattled a more worthwhile ability, while also expanding options for ghost and dark resists.
Name: Resourceful
Effect: If this Pokémon's item would trigger, it triggers again. Once per battle, if this Pokémon's item would be consumed, it isn't.
Permanent: No
Ignored by Mold Breaker: No
Potential Pokémon:
Justification: A strong ability that greatly empowers held items. Looked mostly at lower-tier Pokémon (some UU mons included) since I don't think most would want, say, a Landorus running around getting double the benefit from Leftovers or Rocky Helmet.
Name: Savage (Resub)
Effect: The Pokémon’s Attack or Special Attack copies from the higher stat (held items does not apply for which is higher). Stat stages and held items apply as normal.
Potential Pokémon With This Ability:
Justification: While less applicable than previous two, Savage allows Pokémon with coverage limited to the other side and wallbreak / sweep at both side. Parallel Mega Gyarados, Sceptile and Banette now have a much stronger Ability, especially in Banette’s case where it has effectively 165 Atk and SpA at once! Wugtrio could also have this Ability to make viable use of Earth Power and Ice Beam, otherwise it is stuck with an abysmal amount of usable physical moves. Beautifly gets it mostly for the PokéDex entries that stated it to be quite savage, but you can only help the likes of Beautifly so much in this Pet Mod.
The “Held item does not apply” emphasis is so Protector does not double a Pokémon’s SpD and SpA at once in case of Willful. This also applies to Choice Band / Choice Specs regarding the three, particularly Savage.
Name: Garchomp / Mega Garchomp
Type:
Abilities: Skill Link / Levitate (Rough Skin), Unconcerned
New Moves: Bone Rush, Rock Blast, Flip Turn, Shore Up
Removed Moves: None
Justification: Garchomp has always been limited to hazard setting + Z-Crystals, this adds up a ton of variety for its roles, notably also making the mega even more usable as a mixed wallbreaker.
Name: Deoxys
Type:
,
,
,
New Moves: Close Combat, Land's Wrath, Caltrops, Toxic Spikes, Aromatherapy, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Clear Smog, Body Press
Removed Moves: Zap Cannon, Thunder, Dynamic Punch, Mega Kick
Justification: As far Glacemons OU is concerned this adds a cleric to ease dealing with status in the current metagame even more with
Name: Empoleon
Type: Water / Steel
Abilities: Torrent / Anticipation
New Moves: Rapid Spin, Calm Mind, U-Turn, Dragon Tail, Taunt, Encore, Thunder Wave, Spikes
Removed Moves:
Justification: These changes should make empoleon a decent force to be wrecked with in OU. in OU with anticipation it can tank hits quite well from things like heatran, charizard y, diancie-m, kyurem, latios-m, iron crown, zapdos, etc. With calm mind you can serve as a potential win con, with rapid spin you can focus on removing your own hazards, with d tail you can distrurb the enemy especially with spikes, thunder wave, and encore to make pokemon take advantage easier esp with flip turn you can pivot into pokemon who can take advantage of such a pokemon.
Name: Floette-Eternal (Resub from slate 9)
Type:/
Abilities: Rock Head, Trace
New Moves: Light of Ruin, Dark Pulse, Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, Metronome, Misty Explosion, Psychic Noise, Skill Swap, Trick, Parting Shot, Healing Wish
Removed Moves: None
Justification: Make Floette-Eternal legal, and also give its light of ruin and Florges' moves. Note: Cannot use Eviolite, as it cannot evolve.
Name: The Lycanrocs (RESUB)
Type:+/

Abilities:
Armor Tail/Super Luck/Sand Force
Intimidate/No Guard/Sand Stream
Moody/Tough Claws/Sand Rush
Movepool Changes:
Name: The Ultra Beasts
Types: Remain the same unless otherwise noted:Electric/Poison;
pure-Steel (loses Rock)
Name: Azelf / Mesprit / Uxie
Type:
//
- Levitate / Karate / Moody | Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Defog, Gunk Shot, Hyper Voice, Liquidation, Psychic Noise, Recover, Surf, Swords Dance, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Will-O-Wisp
- Levitate / Telepathy / Moody | Aura Sphere, Body Press, Defog, Cosmic Power, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Iron Defense, Night Shade, Recover, Seismic Toss, Surf, Taunt, Will-O-Wisp
Justification: Azelf makes up for Mega Gallade being banned, functioning as a break in it's place that's also customizable, albeit not having the bulk that makes Mega Gallade formidable. Mesprit is an attempt of the basic toxic immune Calm Mind breaker, but can be used for Tail Glow on more offensive teams to break faster along with having general utility with Prankster Encore, Heart Swap, and Thunder Wave. Uxie is meant for more fatter teams with a bucket full of utility and hopefully cannot be passive with it's new movepool dealing set amounts of damage, along with other moves such as Defog and Heart Swap.
: Does Sky Uppercut also trigger Toxic Spikes on the target (if any)? This is going to be a quite nice utility/coverage move if so.: I sure hope Malamar gets these moves out of the synergy they have with Contrary, especially as it's going to be limited to lower tiers anyways. These moves are powerful in any case and shouldn't be given to every Psychic or Dark-type.
: 
Smeargle is going to be wild with this, isn't it? Assuming this move's effect retains the turn limit like the original field effect this is fine, but otherwise it outclasses Sticky Web to say the least.
: Bonfire is going to be powerful in Monotype for sure, which is neat as Mono Fire is often mid.
: Foul Future sure keeps following the trend of Eeveemods to have Future Sight clones, this is going to complement Dark-types nicely as this forces out most Fairy-types, perhaps there'll be a raise in Pokerus Vaccine to compensate?
: This is practically a Fighting-type Steel Beam but with the catch that the recoil is relative to the user's typing. I can picture virtually any user of this to benefit from 
Legend Plate Ghost.
: Rainbow Blast is a really powerful move, it should only be given to mid Fairy-types and maybe to some non-Fairy users.
: Rock Climb turning into a Rock-type Megahorn is wild, chances are that some Daredevil users could appreciate this in particular, but it shouldn't get too much distribution either by nature.: I genuinely wonder what'll be the best abusers of Dungeon's Looplet in the tier. The item is really powerful and should probably enable a ton of things to have more of a niche in the tier, especially given the increased power level at this point.
: Polkadot Bow seems strong at first, but with 
Legend Plate Normal bringing it competition, the item is likely limited to more dedicated counterteams on moves such as Sonic Boom, Extreme Speed and Boomburst.
: Pseudo-Poison Heal as an item, wow. If this accounts Comatose as an status, wow, we have AAA 
Tapu Fini on crack in the tier, at least it can be removed by Knock Off.
: The NFE items were surprisingly underpowered, and this raises the variety of options in the tier, I like them.
: Surprise Bomb is powerful but also quite limited, hopefully there's some decent Pickup / Resourceful abusers.
: Even more priority, this doesn't really help the tier that much. I wouldn't expect this to get wide distribution by nature in any case.: The snow abilities seem okay, they seem to enable a bit more snow teams into the tier, which is fine, distribution can be quite decent as the abilities seem relatively tame for the most part.
: Pickup is going to be used for some funny Endure + Custap Berry abuse, which'd be broken if it wasn't for the heavy trend of actual priority in the tier. Fling + 
Expert Belt is also going to force a lot of switches now.
: Light Power is simple yet effective, hopefully it gets decent distribution.
: Cosmic Energy is powerful, Meteor Beam, Skull Bash, Sky Attack, Electro Shot, Razor Wind, Solar Beam, and Solar Blade users can all benefit from it, but realistically this is going to get limited distribution.
: Rattled is basically a better version of Ice Body, while I'd hope some Ghost, and especially Psychic-types get this ability, nothing too already dominant should get it.
: Resourceful is basically the offense version of Pickup, this is going to enable a ton of offensive pressure way more efficiently, in fact a bit too much if given to really optimal users, but I hope it doesn't get only distributed to unmons either.
: Savage is a quite neat ability, it's like a healthier version of Velocity, by extension this could have wide distribution with little concern, not many things are kept in check by limited coverage.
: I kinda feel this is a sort of swiss army knife as now it can do basically whatever it wants on any team structure, which sure is neat, maybe it'll even give competition to 
Landorus-T for the glue potential.: Bundling these together as their niches overlap quite a bit. First off, Deoxys-D and Uxie have very similar roles, with Uxie having better ability options, but Deoxys-D compensates with a better movepool, teams likely will have to think a bit on if a team would benefit more from one or the other. Mesprit and Deoxys-S also have the same typing and similar well-rounded stats, with Deoxys-S having a niche by its high Speed tier to be a wallbreaker, revenge killer or a lead, while Mesprit instead aims to be a powerful stallbreaker. Azelf is the only remaining one that is legal in Glacemons OU, and it sure is going to be a potent lead with -ate Explosion, and it seems to be pre-nerf 
Iron Valiant all over again with its solid Speed tier, mixed offenses, Moody and 
Macho Brace compatibility. Deoxys-N and Deoxys-A are going to be even more powerful anti-meta options in Ubers, and Zrp is surely going to go wild with them.
: This'd have been better with Volt Absorb, but this is still an okay sub, I doubt it's going to be popular as there's a ton of competition, but it does compress utility well.
: PLZA hype? This brings competition to 
M-Absol, but it does appear to be a solid 
Choice Specs pivot.: The latter two seem to be potent abusers of Dungeon's Looplet, and will easily find niches in the tier. :lycanroc-midday:Lycanroc-Midday, however, seems a bit underpowered, Super Luck + Stone Edge isn't going to carry it that far on its own when Rock/Steel is quite awful to say the least, Meteor Beam Pokemon have more of an offensive presence than this.
: I doubt all of these will be viable, but the overall sub will shake up the metagame a bit. 
Naganadel in particular is going to be relevant now in Ubers over being eclipsed by 
Eternatus.
Ah yes, the color of pure savagery…
