Abilites: Levitate/Neutralizing Gas/Stench
Move Changes: N/A
Overview: Poison/Steel with leech seed, spikes, stealth rock, and a toxic that never misses combined with that great bulk is truly the ultimate wall. Although it's main method of attack is now gyro ball given its speed and base 80 attack stat. On top of that Levitate is going to be your main ability here since any ground attack is bad news for you. Luckily this means you only have the weakness of fire to worry about here if you go that route.

Abilites: Levitate/Neutralizing Gas/Misty Terrain
Move Changes: Strange Steam is now Strange Spikes. It is a physical version of the same move except it is now 100% accurate.
Overview: Alright so here we have the best defensive typing, with some of the best defensive moves, on this incredibly defensive Pokemon. Of course Toxic has that 90 accuracy again and even with Strange Spikes, Gyro Ball is gonna be your main attack. However unlike with regular form, the galarian form allows for more NGas shenanigans as you don't have that 4x weakness to ground. Despite that though levitate still gives you the only one weakness.

Abilites: Chlorophyll/Harvest
Move Changes: Barrage becomes Fanged Fury, a normal type bonemerang clone that also makes contact.
Overview: Here we have a decent physical sweeper that will out speed most things, and then become untouchable in sun. However its moveset is going to devolve into Fanged Fury/Zen Headbutt/U-Turn/some coverage move, meaning that it'll end up being fairly predictable. However given that it'll end up being banded most of the time anyway, idk how big of a problem this will actually be

Types:
Stats: 70 / 114 / 77 / 64 / 90 / 115 [BST: 530]
Abilites: Frisk/Harvest
Move Changes: Barrage becomes Fanged Fury, a normal type bonemerang clone that also makes contact.
Overview: Just like that Raticate turned into a better normal/dragon type than Drampa. First of all despite that -10 to speed it still has a decent speed tier, and while it doesn't become fucking Speedy Gonzalez in the sun like its default form, this hits a bit harder. It also can take advantage of Dragon Hammer. Now the biggest issue with this thing is that, it cannot do shit against fairies. The only "option" it has is iron tail which is not going to be very reliable. However Fanged Fury with swords dance or banded could lead to a decent stall breaker thing since it breaks through subs, but you can also say that about the original. I know it feels like I'm shitting on my own creation, especially when my highest praise about it is that it's better than drampa, but idk maybe you like draconic tree rats.

Pokemon Being Impersonated: Dugtrio

Abilites: Sand Veil/Arena Trap/Sand Force
Move Changes: N/A
Overview: You might be asking why I did this, and well since since Dugtrio is stuck with Sand Force as an ability I had to make something decent for the alolan form, and yes that is coming, but does this have any merit? Well kind of. It's gonna hit hard, take hard physical hits, has two type immunities, and access to toxic because Sandshrew doesn't give a shit about the lack of the toxic TM for gen 8.

Abilites: Sand Veil/Tangling Hair/Sand Force
Move Changes: N/A
Overview: Alright so here we have a mono steel type with high defense and decent physical attack, big whoop. It doesn't even have sturdy, which means it's less defensive than normal. While both of those are true Tangling Hair actually has a high chance of being used now since it's on a mon that is actually defensive. This could mess with some sweepers who manage to take it out only to get revenge killed ASAP. Weirdly enough this does the opposite of Dugtrio, by setting up potential revenge kills, rather than being the killer. Also this thing does have rapid spin so it can get rid of those rocks, spikes, and the like. This also applies to the base form and in fact they're both pretty good spinners since they take little damage from rocks and are immune to toxic spikes.

Abilites: Sturdy/Rock Head/Sand Veil
Move Changes: N/A
Overview: Alright so looking at this you go, what the fuck why would anyone make this? To be honest I don't really know but it has a massive HP and Attack stat so I guess it should break some walls. This is a weird sorta wall breaker that breaks walls not through sheer power, but because it has so much fucking HP that it's a pain in the ass to chip away, while also you attacking you for some good damage.

Overview: Wow it fills the same role as above, except it can trap steel types which is useful. Although if you want to have more than just thunder punch as an electric STAB than you're gonna have to go with galvanize. Either way this was just more of the same.
