Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED! Boy, I thought I only got two votes until I realized that we're now on page 6! So, sit down, and listen....to the tales...of who these terrors really are!
"Legends tell of how the ancient swamp of Jack's Hollow is said to be the shortcut that everyone wants to take...but at the same time, they would see nothing but darkness afterwards. The swamp was named after Jack, a merchant who drowned in the rancid mud after he neglected to go on the straight road, thinking that taking the last shortcut he would ever take would allow him to get his most prized creation yet to the fair in time: A Jack-O-Lantern said to have been carved with the tooth of a long extinct Ghost-type Pokémon. As he drowned under the swamp, his spirit fused with the essence of the tooth that was grafted on the pumpkin, turning him into a pumpkin vampire known only as Jackolure. With the assistance of it's bony arm, said to be the head of the extinct Pokémon that carved the lantern that carried his demise, Jackolure lures it's victims into Jack's Hollow with a light that convinces them to take the shortcut...only to realize at the last time they'll ever breathe that they have fallen into the trap...OF JACKOLURE!"
Design A will now be known as Jackolure, who was made by G-Luke. This strong Grass/Ghost mixed attacker has access to four different types of good attacking moves, from Grass, Ghost, Dark, and Fire, with the help of it's signature ability that powers up it's Fire-type moves and boosts it's defences by 1 after it uses Mind Blown...hah, take that, Blacephalon!
"...Hold on. I cannot tell you this Pokémon's tale...it is still a mystery!"
That's right, we have another tie on our hands! Both Cyaneedle's Moonerie and G-Luke's Wichinharur got five votes a piece, meaning it's identity won't be decided until the next slate when the tiebreaker begins....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Please say a round of applause for TERROR404, crafted together by Cyaneedle...it was the only entry for Design C that actually got any votes! This pure Fire-type serves as a deadly revenge killer, with it's own Special Hell that is kind of like a Fire-type First Impression that ignores Substitutes! Better bring some water to cool it down...
Thank you for voting! Jackolure and TERROR404 will be entering the database soon...Slate 13 will be coming up sooner than that, and it's a Legends Z-A themed slate this time...maybe we might see some actual familiar faces for once?
SLATE 13: LEGENDS Z-AH, A BAKER'S DOZEN! “I hope you’re all enjoying Pokémon Legends ZA: Boy, it was totally worth the two year wait! But…to be honest, it’s reveal period should have needed some adjustments, we got literally most of the Mega Evolutions introduced in this game from the “Find out for yourself when the game releases period!” that unveiled all the remaining new blood that wasn’t revealed beforehand. For starters, last year’s Pokémon Presents was the greatest test of patience ever, and this year’s Pokémon Day Presents didn’t introduce any new Mega Evolutions at all: The second one only revealed Mega Dragonite, who, due to being the only new one to be revealed for a while, got a shameless self promotion by appearing in Pokémon Horizions just to be advertised. But that’s not to say the other reveals were bad, they had EFFORT! Mega Victreebel was revealed in a horrifying recording session, Mega Hawlucha made the match of the century, and_ALL GLORY TO OUR BEST FRIEND, MALAMAR, AND THE FOLLOWING HE MADE IN HIS MEGA FORM’S REVEAL! (This does not take the reveal of the Mega Kalos Starters and Mega Raichu into account: They’re probably already in someone’s fangame long before we can even get access to them!) Unfortunately, there was one major downfall to this…no new Pokémon came with this game. We haven’t had a new one since Pecharunt, and likely won’t see another one until next year!!! But maybe, it comes to show that if you reveal all your stuff early…you really take the surprise factor out of them, eh?”
For the 13th slate, which may be unlucky for some, we have some two sided entrants that look extremely familiar to us...but it's up to you to decide if these forms are Mega Evolutions, or something else entirely! Remember, if a design has more than two sprites, your submission must make use of all of them...but you are allowed to choose which form is the default one! DESIGN A:
DESIGN B:
DESIGN C:
Quick eyes will notice that the leftmost sprites of each entry are in fact identical to the official Pokémon, Seaking, Heatmor, and Jumpluff! However, that does not mean you are forced to make them those Pokémon: I do remember that one Fakédex in the Pokébeach that managed to make a good roster simply by reusing existing designs! However, it does mean one good thing...
...For this slate, I will allow you to use the official Showdown renders to substitute for the leftmost sprites, as shown below:
But anyway, you have until Sunday the 9th of November OR Monday the 10th of November, whichever one we can access easily first, to cast your submissions...GOOD LUCK! TIEBREAKER! (NOT PART OF THIS SLATE!)
If we could flip a coin this would have been over in the blink of a night, but luck is not the deciding factor of a true design! Put either Cyaneedle's Moonerie or G-Luke's Wichinharur in your submission to decide who this sorry little witch from Slate 12 is...boy, she really is out of touch now, she's a Halloween sprite...IN NOVEMBER! This time, the tiebreaker will close the same time as the submissions do, so good luck!
Name: Seaking (Evolite Compatible) Type: Water Abilities: Swift Swim / Water Veil // Lightning Rod Stats: 80/92/105/65/110/78 Weight: 86.0 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Metronome, Hide and Seaking, Aerial Ace, Aqua Jet, Body Slam, Bounce, Dive, Double-Edge, Drill Run, Endeavor, Flail, Flip Turn, Fury Attack, Head Smash, Horn Attack, Horn Drill, Icicle Spear, Liquidation, Peck, Pluck, Poison Jab, Poison Sting, Retaliate, Rock Smash, Smart Strike, Waterfall, Zen Headbutt, Blizzard, Bubble, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Echoed Voice, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Muddy Water, Mud Shot, Psychic, Scald, Surf, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Zap Cannon, Acupressure, Agility, Aqua Ring, Curse, Focus Energy, Life Dew, Rain Dance, Soak, Spikes, Splash, Swords Dance, Work Up
Name: Koipress Type: Water/Fighting Abilities: Iron Fist / Water Veil // Lightning Rod Stats: 85/107/80/105/85/64 Weight: 180.0 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Metronome, Hide and Seaking, Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, Aqua Cutter, Aqua Jet, Arm Thrust, Beat Up, Body Slam, Bounce, Breaking Swipe, Brick Break, Bullet Punch, Circle Throw, Close Combat, Counter, Cross Chop, Darkest Lariat, Dive, Double-Edge, Double Hit, Drain Punch, Drill Run, Dynamic Punch, Endeavor, Fake Out, Fire Punch, Flail, Flip Turn, Focus Punch, Force Palm, Fury Attack, Hammer Arm, Head Smash, Horn Attack, Horn Drill, Ice Punch, Icicle Spear, Jet Punch, Liquidation, Mach Punch, Mega Punch, Meteor Mash, Peck, Pluck, Poison Jab, Poison Sting, Retaliate, Rock Smash, Seismic Toss, Shadow Punch, Smart Strike, Strength, Sucker Punch, Superpower, Throat Chop, Thunder Punch, Upper Hand, Waterfall, Zen Headbutt, Blizzard, Bubble, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Echoed Voice, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Muddy Water, Mud Shot, Mud-Slap, Psychic, Scald, Surf, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Vacuum Wave, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Zap Cannon, Acupressure, Agility, Aqua Ring, Bulk Up, Coaching, Curse, Focus Energy, Life Dew, Rain Dance, Soak, Spikes, Splash, Swagger, Swords Dance, Work Up
(Hide and Seaking: Water, Physical, 180 BP, 100 Acc, 5 (8) pp, User dives underwater on turn 1 (effect of dive). Attacks on turn 2. If the user is Seaking, also raises the user's Spe by 1 after hitting.)
Flavor: If you anger the fish, it grows limbs and beats you up. Description: Kind of like a weaker Palafin but without the Zero to Hero gimmick. Seaking can be a defensive mon with Evolite, but it lacks any form of recover and has little utility, so it likely isn't great.
Name: Heatmor Type: Fire Abilities: Gluttony / Flash Fire // Stakeout Stats: 78/102/61/102/61/80 Weight: 58.0 kg
Name: H3a1M0r (call it 3tmor or Threetmor for short) (Alternate form of Heatmor. Item locked into the item Heat Suit Prime. Heat Suit Prime can't be removed and adds Iron Head and Flash Cannon as fifth and sixth moves in the user's moveset.) Type: Fire/Steel Abilities: Battle Armor / Flash Fire // Filter Stats: 78/91/117/91/117/90 Weight: 999.9 kg
Flavor: Heatmor puts on a mech suit. Competitive: Heatmor is taken from Super Smash Stereotypes which was taken from Perfect Galar. 102 offenses + Spikes, Fire Lash, and Stakeout cause difficulty in switching around Heatmor, allowing it to pin opposing mons. However, it suffers from bad bulk, being boots locked, and a mid speed tier. Threetmor is a big defensive sort of mega Pokemon that exchanges power for a better typing and much better defenses. It doesn't have the advantage of a switch up between base and mega form that a normal mega would have, but it exchanges that for being rock neutral and not super frail switching in. It lacks recovery, but it has very good stats, typing, and a solid movepool.
I support Megas that have unique but not explicitly better than their bases, even though the best Megas are flat out improvements.
Voting for Moonerie
Name: Neptunian and Mega Neptunian Type: Water [Mega: Water/Dragon] Abilities: Technician / Water Veil | HA: Swift Swim
[Mega: Lightning Rod] Stats: 100 HP / 102 Atk / 60 Def / 85 SpA / 85 SpD / 78 Spe | BST: 510
[Mega: 100 HP / 102 Atk / 80 Def / 135 SpA / 105 SpD / 88 Spe | BST: 610] Weight: 38.7 kg | 128.4 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Body Slam, Triple Dive, Surf, Dive, Scald, Liquidation, Waterfall, Megahorn, Horn Drill, Ice Beam, Ice Shard, Blizzard, Aqua Jet, Flip Turn, Knock Off, Icy Wind, Poison Jab, Peck, Mud Slap, Mud Shot, Muddy Water, Quick Attack, Scale Shot, Hydro Pump, Smart Strike, Skull Bash, Soak, Swords Dance, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Facade, Counter, Fury Cutter, Drill Run, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dance, Dragon Breath, Outrage, Rapid Spin Flavor: A giant powerful karp monster. It's Mega is more of a mermaid esqe being. Competitive: Neptunian is a decent wallbreaker thanks to Technician boosted Triple Dive being a big damage dealer. Rapid Spin gives it solid utility and can be seen as a speed boosting option. It's Mega on the other hand is a powerful special wallbreaker, carrying strong Dragon STAB in D.Pulse and Hydro Pump to wallbreak with. It can pivot out with Flip Turn as well.
Name: Heatmor and Heatmor-Ultra Type: Fire [Ultra Burst: Fire/Bug] Abilities: Stakeout / White Smoke | HA: Flash Fire
[Ultra Burst: Shield Dust] Stats: 100 HP / 107 Atk / 66 Def / 105 SpA / 66 SpD / 95 Spe | BST: 539

Signature Z-Move: Buzz That Burns The Ears | 190 BP | Special | - Acc | - PP | Requires move Bug Buzz. 30% chance to burn target, even if Fire type. Sound based Item: Ultraheatmorium Z Flavor: It's a super sentai transformation that utilizes a big boss ender move. Competitive: WIP
Alias, Crossover Chaos Generation 9....if it weren't for Sans, you would have been endlessly....Oh, sorry! *clears throat* Even anaconja's joining in the fun, that's how much this slate is worth in imagination! But, since UberTrainer2000 won't have access to Discord tomorrow until Sunday due to being out on holiday....
...This is your fair reminder that you have until that Sunday to cast your submissions and decide the tiebreaker! Get them in before it's too late....
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED!
My, that was indeed one mega slate, but it's time to wrap things up for this baker's dozen by kicking off the one day voting classic! First, though, we need to find out who won the Slate 12 tiebreaker....
...And with a vote of 2 to 1, Design B will now be known as Moonerie! Gah, and we were so close to getting another Ice type for the metagame, much to the joy of all the Glacerate fans! (We haven't had a new one since Slate 3!) Anyway, Moonerie wass designed by Cyaneedle, and is a Specially Defensive Dark/Fairy type that can perform many roles with it's 110 Special Attack stat and it's unique Lunar Beacon ability that can absorb Fairy-type attacks and turn them into healing!
...Sorry, no scary story this time, we're saving all of those for Krampus next month...Unless....
Oh, heck with this, here's one anyway! "It is said that every 29 years, the moon wakes up and becomes Moonerie, an evil witch that is said to bring eternal night upon the land for a day. During this horrifying time, everyone will rise up into the night sky and join the familiar on Moonerie's head, forever a crater on the moon for the rest of their lives. The only way to survive Moonerie is to not think of the moon at all during those 24 hours...but when you see the moon with a wretched face during the night, your fate has been sealed for all eternity. Those who survive the Moonerie night will have no memory of what just happened, and will blame the disappearances on the local witches...but, in reality, Moonerie is trying to make sure...that no-one ever remembers this dreadful night so that it will never be hunted down."
Now that the tiebreaker has been done and dusted, it's time to move on to voting time! This time, some users failed to finish their submissions in time, and so they will not be mentioned here unless otherwise stated. So if your submission does not appear here, you have nothing to blame but father time! Here are the choices this time: DESIGN A: (A Water type's getting in no matter who wins)
Cyaneedle's Koillector and Mega Koillector
PalpitoadChamp's Seaking and Koipress (Two for the price of one?!)
G-Luke's Neptunian and Mega Neptunian
DESIGN B:
....That's predictable, all of the submissions for this design are named Heatmor in some way, and both are Fire-types! Thus, Design B will have to go under that name from now on! I guess there's no way you can mistake the Durant eater as something else...but which submission will Heatmor get?
PalpitoadChamp's Heatmor and H3a1M0r, alongside the custom item Heat Suit Prime
anaconja's Heatmor and Mega Heatmor
G-Luke's Heatmor and Ultra Heatmor (A last second entry: It was WIP but was finished before the first vote was cast) DESIGN C: (Please welcome another Grass-type into the metagame after this...hey, a Grass/Fire/Water trio!)
Cyaneedle's Kottenjeru and it's Origin Form, alongside the custom item Cotton Core
anaconja's Jumpluff and Mega Jumpluff Remember, for this vote, the topmost submission of each design in your vote will count as two votes, and you cannot put your own submission as the top vote. For example, if you were to copy the above text exactly, then Koillector, PalpitoadChamp's Heatmor, and Kottenjeru would get two votes instead of one. The submissions with the most votes in each design will enter the metagame.
Voting will last until tomorrow, hopefully...GOOD LUCK!
Hmmmm....I think we can settle with just two votes this time round! Therefore, the votes are now CLOSED! So, who was really the Rank A of this Z-A? Let's see what the two voters have spoken for....
....But the downside of closing the votes with only two of them is soon clear, as both Cyaneedle's Koillector and Mega Koillector alongside PalpitoadChamp's Seaking and Koipress got three votes a piece for Design A! We'll have to settle this with a tiebreaker in the next slate, so watch out for that!
But for the other two designs, we have a winner for each! Heatmor, who was Design B...I hope you can get used to using G-Luke's spread for you, because that's the one that got the most votes, congratulations! And my, what a dark horse entry it was: It didn't appear in the voting until after it started! But anyway, This incarnation of the flaming anteater has an Ultra Burst that turns it into a Fire/Bug type that can incinerate anything with the first Z-Move of the metagame, the Buzz That Burns The Ears! Keep in mind that the other Z-Moves are banned in this metagame: It IS a Generation IX metagame, after all....
Finally...holy moley, Design C's name is now Kottenjeru, who was created by Cyaneedle! This reliable defensive Grass/Fairy type can become it's Origin Form with the Cotton Core, which gives it Neuroforce, meaning that those weak to Grass and Fairy moves might want to run. Notable tools in it's kit include Mist Ball, Giga Drain, and Wish! Compared to Alraterasu, the other Grass/Fairy type in the metagame, Kottenjeru has slightly less Special Attack even in it's Origin Form, and can't set up Sun....but, yeah, Kottenjeru is better than it in every other category. Is it time for a buffing period soon?
Thank you for voting! You'll find Kottenjeru in the database soon, and Heatmor's entry will soon be filled out now that it has a proper identity...But first, the next slate will be starting very very soon, so take care!
SLATE 14: ORIGINALITY'S DAY OFF “While we’re on the topic of giving old friends new tricks, have you noticed that the mobile games are getting really stingy with their reveals? While it was inevitable that we knew that we wouldn’t be seeing any new Pokémon in any mobile game that isn’t Pokémon Go, it is still nice to see your favourite Pokémon or character join the game, such as the Eeveelutions gradually joining Pokémon UNITE, having a Garchomp be your Pokémon Café Remix assistant, and Ash Ketchum himself joining Pokémon Masters EX as a guest character. But then comes the news that no-one is hyped for: Alternative costumes. They are literally the same thing as the older Pokémon, but the Pokémon Company makes such a big deal out of them that they’re trying to hype us…when in reality, we’re not, especially when it takes up precious time in Pokémon Presents. (The seasonal costumes and Neo Champion outfits of Masters are an exception, because they at least are partnered with Pokémon we couldn’t raise in the game before…until they started being partnered with existing Pokémon: I’m looking at you, Arc Suits) It’s like my good friend Cranky Kong always told me…”Sure, instead of adding Dusknoir to the game in a Halloween event, just take Pikachu, slap some cheap Halloween costume on him, and call it a high end character!””
We found these next three designs from a garbage can near the local loot boxes...it seems like whoever pulled them wanted something new, but now it's up to you to give these alternative costumes an identity they'll cherish forever...or to decide if these are even the original Pokémon at all! DESIGN A:
DESIGN B:
DESIGN C:
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...AN...EMERGENCY DONATION DRIVE?!
With there now being an Ultra Burst in the metagame and possibility of a Mega Evolution coming as well, it was clear that this gallery needed more than just those, or else everyone would be like those beginning Shufflers who only had Mega Audino to work with! Fortunately, Quasartico Inc. has found some leftover Rogue Mega Evolutions that need new homes, and we've taken the liberty of adopting them...but it's up to you to decide if they can actually Mega Evolve. That does mean this slate has SIX designs to work with! Remember, you must use all the sprites in a design in your submission, but you are allowed to choose which one is the default form! DESIGN D:
DESIGN E:
DESIGN F:
This time, you have until Monday the 17th of November to cast your submissions...good luck! TIEBREAKER! (NOT PART OF THIS SLATE)
Who knew closing the votes with only two of them would be a detriment? Design A from the previous slate had tied, and now it's up to you to decide if Cyaneedle's Koillector and Mega Koillector or PalpitoadChamp's Seaking and Koipress are the true winners...list the name of one of them in your submission before Thursday! Good luck! AND FINALLY...WHO NEEDS BUFFS OR BRUISES!
Even though this metagame is not on DragonHaven yet, we would still like some predictions on who's underperforming or overperforming...you can list the names of the most prominent or pathetic Pokémon in the metagame in your entry, and we'll see if we can start hosting a balancing slate in the future with them...
So, with that being said...
GOOD LUCK!

They hooked the old zard up to a new flesh-suit with cybernetic enhancements and now he's better than ever! Competitive: Either a fringe mixed-sun sweeper or a silly regen pivot Superhot Slide: Fire Type, Physical, 60 BP, 100% Accuracy, 32 PP, User switches out after damaging the targed.

Flavor: Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free. You are a pirate! Yar-har, fiddle-dee-dee, Being a pirate is alright to be. Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, You are a pirate! Competitive: Wallbreaking guy with below average speed but can fare against faster teams well with its pretty good Type Combo.
(WIP) Name: Intellegene (Intellegene-Rushdown) Type: Psychic / Steel (Psychic / Fighting) Abilities: Sturdy / Rushdown (Rushdown)
Stats: 120/110/90/45/80/45 (430 BST) ( [BST) Weight: 326 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Metronome, Meteor Mash, Flash Cannon, Steel Beam, Zen Headbutt, Power-up Punch, Rock Smash, Circle Throw, Revenge, Low Sweep, Upper Hand, Brick Break, Drain Punch, Cross Chop, Close Combat, Focus Blast, Low Kick, High Jump Kick, Focus Punch, Reversal, Counter, Final Gambit, Flavor: Does this thing know what an amoeba looks like? Competitive: little guy with a funky mech that can be very very fast but usually serves as a fat slow breaky fella
the other guys will be done soon
Butter Bomb - Fire, Physical, 90 BP, 100 Acc, 10 (16) PP, Has a 10% chance to lower the target's Spe by 1. If the user moves first, has its critical hit ratio increased by 1. Flavor: Probably has a KFC like taste Competitive: We have Hearthflame at home. Hearthflame at home:
Name: Pikachu's Sleep Paralysis Demon Type: Ground/Ghost Abilities: Lightning Rod / Long Reach // Sticky Hold Stats: 107/50/80/97/86/91 Weight: 0.69 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Sleep Talk, Metronome, Explode All Pikachus, Earthquake, Earth Power, Recover, Bulldoze, Scorching Sands, Calm Mind, Hex, Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Phantom Force, Nightmare, Dream Eater, Thunder Wave, Nuzzle, Knock Off, Rock Slide, Sandstorm, Taunt, Torment, Thief, Body Slam, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Discharge, Bulk Up, Spider Web, Switcheroo, Stealth Rock

Flavor: That Pikachu may look like it's smiling, but it's actually terrified. Competitive: Solid offense backed with usable defense providing an glueish mon with plenty of utility. No pivoting sucks, but it has most other than notable things.
Flavor: Lucario as a pirate in his past life. Competitive: Scary offensive mon with odd coverage and no CC forcing it to use Jump Kick, Drain Punch, or Superpower which all have issues. Also it's a Protosynthesis mon that doesn't like the Sun, so it either runs Booster or has no real ability.
Name: Marvin (-Mega) Type: Water/Steel Abilities: Water Bubble (Mega: Water Bubble) Stats: 50/60/130/60/140/50 Mega Stats: 50/70/135/70/145/120 Weight: 480.0 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Sleep Talk, Metronome, Surf, Waterfall, Hydro Pump, Flash Cannon, Meteor Mash, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Aqua Jet, Stealth Rock, Iron Head, Magic Coat, Work Up, Thunder, Rock Slide, Electro Web, Drain Punch, Superpower, Psychic, Psyshock, Psychic Noise, Zen Headbutt, Bubble, Bubble Beam, Signal Beam
Flavor: Alien guy in his suit. Mega evolution makes him eat two of his arms. Competitive: Weird Araquanid that trades Webs for Rocks, an arguably better typing, rock resistance, and the ability to get 120 speed with an item.
Cinco - This Pokemon's Ice-type moves hit five times with 0.3x power per hit.
Flavor: Hippo lizard thing with a fake head vs his Ice hydra super form. Competitive: World's most normal stat spreads. Base is an odd offensive Poison. Mega is also an offensive Poison, but it's also an Ice-type that uses Aurora Beam as a 65 * 1.5 move with five 10% chances to lower Att.
Name: Why Does Everything Look Poison Typed (-Mega-X and -Mega-Y) Type: Fighting (Mega X: Fighting/Steel, Mega Y: Fighting/Fire) Abilities: Sheer Force / Heavy Metal // Dry Skin (Mega X: Tough Claws, Mega Y: Liquid Ooze) Stats: 80/90/80/90/80/90 Mega X Stats: 80/139/129/90/80/92 Mega Y Stats: 80/90/80/139/129/92 Weight: 96.0 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Sleep Talk, Metronome, Superpower, Drain Punch, High Jump Kick, Jump Kick, Karate Chop, Aura Sphere, Force Palm, Focus Blast, Meteor Mash, Recover, Iron Head, Heavy Slam, Metal Claw, Iron Tail, Hone Claws, Howl, Stomp, Stomping Tantrum, Body Slam, Bulldoze, Rock Slide, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Tar Shot, Poison Jab, Gunk Shot, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Will-O-Wisp, Stone Edge, Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Stealth Rock, Bulk Up, Coaching, Rollout, Metal Sound, Sunny Day, Moonblast, Night Shade
Flavor: Flammable goo with a robot friend. Competitive: Base is a sheer force demon with Sludge Wave/Focus Blast/Flamethrower or Fire Blast that can go mixed for Rock Slide. Mega X is a threatening physical sweeper with Bulk Up/Hone Claws and Tough Claws. Mega Y is a special offensive mon that trades Sheer Force for a secondary STAB and better overall stats.
On thing I will say is that Ubertrainer clearly wants more type diversity, but it feels like every other mon that gets subbed screams Dark or Poison type. Just a strange thing I noticed.
Well, look where we found Thursday at...that means it's time to decide who won this tiebreaker for once and for all! So, with two votes for them, the winner of the Slate 13 Tiebreaker is...wait...did PalpitoadChamp just...include two Pokémon in a single submission? Well, that's smart, and we'll allow it: The winners of the tiebreaker are Seaking and Koipress, they will have Design A's identity! Seaking is a powerful Eviolite compatible defensive Water-type Pokémon that evolves into Koipress, a Water/Fighting offensive Pokémon who, in the submitter's words, is "an OU version of our good friend Palafin"!...Despite the fact that it's BST actually decreases when it evolves! Just watch out for that 180 power Hide and Seaking...hmmm, now where have I seen that phrase before?
Since Seaking is now in the metagame, it would be pulp fiction to also say that Goldeen will be joining the metagame too...but I don't recommend using one, it's unchanged and is the equivalent of using one sent out of a Smash Bros Poké Ball! You'll find all three in the database soon...take care!
I hope you're having fun with the unoriginal designs and the donated mega whines, but this is your fair reminder that you have until Monday to cast your submissions! Get them in or finish them up before it's too late, especially since we only have two submitters so far for this slate, and two designs only have one submission each!
Name: Cosmic Armor Charizard Type: Fire / Psychic Abilities: Trace / Battle Armor | HA: Flash Fire Stats: 78 HP / 78 Atk / 84 Def / 109 SpA / 100 SpD / 85 Spe | BST: 534 Weight: 79 kg Movepool: Agility, Amnesia, Aura Sphere, Body Slam, Blast Burn, Calm Mind, Confuse Ray, Confusion, Cosmic Power, Crunch, Double Team, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail, Earthquake, Ember, Encore, Endure, Energy Ball, Expanding Force, Facade, False Swipe, Fire Blast, Fire Fang, Fire Pledge, Fire Punch, Fire Spin, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Fling, Fly, Focus Blast, Focus Punch, Future Sight, Giga Impact, Growl, Grass Knot, Gravity, Growl, Heal Pulse, Healing Wish, Heat Crash, Heat Wave, Helping Hand, Hyper Beam, Hyper Voice, Hypnosis, Imprison, Inferno, Knock Off, Light Screen, Mean Look, Memento, Metronome, Mystical Fire, Night Shade, Overheat, Pain Split, Protect, Psybeam, Psych Up, Psychic, Psychic Noise, Psychic Terrain, Psyshock, Recover, Rest, Sacred Fire, Skill Swap, Sleep Talk, Smokescreen, Stored Power, Substitute, Sunny Day, Swift, Taunt, Teleport, Temper Flare, Tera Blast, Thief, Thunder Punch, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Trick, Trick Room, Weather Ball, Will-O-Wisp, Wish, Zen Headbutt Flavor: It's a Charizard with cosmic (Psychic) armor. Competitive: Cosmic Armor Charizard is a decently bully Calm Mind wallbreaker with access to reliable recovery and great coverage. It's bulk allows it to do some fun utility things as well so don't be shocked at utility variants rising up.
Name: Wilt-Pikachu Type: Electric Abilities: Static / Lightning Rod | HA: Battle Bond Stats: 80 HP / 95 Atk / 75 Def / 90 SpA / 85 SpD / 95 Spe | BST: 525 Weight: 6.9 kg Movepool: Agility, Alluring Voice, Body Slam, Bounce, Brick Break, Calm Mind, Celebrate, Charge, Charge Beam, Charm, Court Change, Dig, Disarming Voice, Discharge, Double Team, Draining Kiss, Eerie Impulse, Electric Terrain, Electro Ball, Electroweb, Encore, Endeavor, Endure, Energy Ball, Facade, Fake Out, Fake Tears, Feint, Flail, Fling, Floaty Fall, Fly, Focus Punch, Grass Knot, Growl, Helping Hand, High Jump Kick, Ice Ball, Iron Tail, Knock Off, Light Screen, Nuzzle, Pika Papow, Play Nice, Play Rough, Present, Protect, Pyro Ball, Quick Attack, Rain Dance, Reflect, Rest, Reversal, Shadow Ball, Sleep Talk, Spark, Splishy Splash, Substitute, Surf, Sweet Kiss, Swift, Tail Whip, Take Down, Tera Blast, Thief, Thunder, Thunder Punch, Thunder Shock, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Tickle, Trailblaze, Upper Hand, Volt Switch, Volt Tackle, Weather Ball, Wild Charge, Wish, Work Up, Zippy Zap Flavor: This is a Pikachu that has bonded very closely with a certain imaginary friend from a certain home, which has granted this Pikachu amazing powers...and the ability to be excellent at any ball based sport. No rules against it. Competitive: Wilt-Pikachu is incredibly powerful, instead of being a fast electric type like Chainon, Wiltchu makes its claim to fame it's amazing coverage + Battle Bond that allows it be a very threatening set up sweeper. No Nasty Plot because you can't make a strong bond with an imaginary friend with one.
Zippy Zap | Electric | 50 BP | Physical | - Acc | 16 PP | +2 Priority | Always lands in a critical hit.
Light Ball - All Ball Moves are boosted by 1.3, takes 50% less from Ball Moves
Name: Lucarrghio Type: Poison / Fighting Abilities: Oppurtunist / Merciless | HA: Guard Dog Stats: 70 HP / 110 Atk / 90 Def / 85 SpA / 70 SpD / 100 Spe | BST: 525 Weight: 54 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Close Combat, Mach Punch, Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Sky Uppercut, Superpower, Low Kick, Power Up Punch, Poison Jab, Gunk Shot, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Poison Fang, Baneful Bunker, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Sludge Wave, Venoshock, Hex, Smokescreen, Roost, Swords Dance, Nasty Plot, Taunt, Thunder Wave, Feather Dance, Peck, Chatter, Boomburst, Wood Hammer, Anchor Shot, Scald, Brine, Surf, Wave Crash, Crunch, Earthquake, Bone Rush, Zen Headbutt, Grass Knot, Dark Pulse Flavor: Pirate Lucario Competitive: Lucarrghio is a solid offensive threat in the metagame, utilizing good but unexplored abilities like Oppurtunist, Merciless and the like, making it a unique wallbreaker. Poison Types and Fighting types are both very uncommon so making it so was very important imo, so this should be good.
Name: Tardinaut and Mega Tardinaut Type: Ice / Steel [Mega: Ice / Psychic] Abilities: Water Bubble [Mega: Regenerator] Stats: 110 HP / 65 Atk / 75 Def / 125 SpA / 85 SpD / 50 Spe | BST: 510
[Mega: 110 HP / 75 Atk / 95 Def / 155 SpA / 85 SpD / 90 Spe | BST: 610] Weight: 13 kg | 11 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Ice Beam, Freeze Dry, Blizzard, Aurora Veil, Icicle Crash, Icicle Spear, Ice Shard, Icy Wind, Sheer Cold, Avalanche, Haze, Ice Spinner, Flash Cannon, Iron Head, Metal Claw, Heavy Slam, Steel Beam, Iron Defense, Psychic, Psycho Cut, Psyshock, Zen Headbutt, Heal Block, Trick Room, Trick, Wonder Room, Surf, Meteor Beam, Meteor Mash, Cosmic Power, Energy Ball, Moonblast, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Solar Beam, Draco Meteor, Stored Power, Knock Off, Earthquake, Disable, Pain Split, Stealth Rock, Metronome, Liquidation, Aqua Jet, Flip Turn, Soak, Aqua Ring, Whirlpool Flavor: It's a Tardigrade / Water Bear but as a space exploring astronaut. Makes sense because Water Bears are famous being able to survive the vacuum of space. Water Bubble is because they are water bears and their helmets are made of a water bubble. It's Mega shatters it's protective water bubble and space suit (hence ability and type change) after it develops intelligence, and survives space with its psychic power and extremely resilient body. Competitive: Metagame lacks Ice types, so Tardinaut comes in to the rescue as a non SR weak Ice / Steel with solid offensive coverage between dual STAB + Water Bubble Surf. It's Mega is much stronger with good offensive movepool and is a powerful offensive pivot.
Name: Cobblesaur and Mega Cobblesaur Type: Rock / Ground [Mega: Rock / Ground] Abilities: Intimidate | HA: Strong Jaw [Mega: Shed Skin] Stats: 89 HP / 120 Atk / 89 Def / 48 SpA / 67 SpD / 77 Spe | BST: 490
[Mega: 89 HP / 140 Atk / 119 Def / 78 SpA / 107 SpD / 57 Spe | BST: 590] Weight: 142 kg | 298 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Jaw Lock, Earthquake, Bulldoze, Headlong Rush, Sand Tomb, Sand Attack, Mud Slap, Earth Power, Scorching Sands, Dig, Rock Tomb, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Meteor Beam, Rock Blast, Sandstorm, Rock Polish, Stealth Rock, Smack Down, Body Slam, Crunch, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Psychic Fang, Hone Claws, Coil, Head Smash, Roar, Glare, Zen Headbutt, Headbutt, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Outrage, Scale Shot, Focus Punch, Iron Head, Iron Tail, Aqua Tail Flavor: It's a Big Head Rock Dinosaur that transforms into a Hydra. Competitive: Base form is a very strong wallbreaker thanks to Jaw Lock + Strong Jaw being a crazy strong move. However, it also gets stuck, and is not able to swap out, making it a lot more easy to punish. It's Mega is a bulky Coil user that can also use Jaw Lock in its own unique way as well.
Jaw Lock | Rock | 100 BP | Physical | 100 Acc | 8 PP | Contact | Biting | Prevents both user and target from switching out
Name: Gravogunk | Gravogunk-Eerie | Gravogunk-Kiln Type: Poison / Rock | Poison / Ghost | Poison / Fire Abilities: Toxic Chain [HA: Solid Rock] | Toxic Chain [HA: Infiltrator] | Toxic Chain [HA: Heatproof] Stats: 68 HP / 78 Atk / 115 Def / 90 SpA / 92 SpD / 87 Spe | BST: 530 Weight: 135 kg Movepool: Protect, Facade, Rest, Sleep Talk, Snore, Endure, Substitute, Confide, Tera Blast, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Gunk Shot, Poison Jab, Barb Barrage, Mortal Spin, Bulk Up, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Clear Smog, Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Strength Sap, Stone Edge, Power Gem, Toxic, Haze, Superpower, Drain Punch, Giga Drain, Nasty Plot, Knock Off, Double Slap, Belch, Earth Power, Earthquake, Dig, Bulldoze, Brick Break, Acid Spray, Acid Armor, Corrosive Gas, Venoshock, Pain Split Eerie Only: +Poltergeist, Hex and -Stone Edge, Power Gem Kiln Only: +Flare Blitz, Lava Plume and -Stone Edge, Power Gem Flavor: A smelly imp that loves to make suits of armor to defend itself from its environment, and it inhabits Caves, Graves and Volcanoes. Competitive: Gravogunk base form adds a solid Rock type to the tier, and it's utility as Mon is solid, with access to Mortal Spin, Knock Off, Barb Barrage, Clear Smog and almost all of the hazards. Toxic Chain ensures that it can be a ferocious spreader of the status as well. However, if being part Rock type isn't your cup of tea, Gravogunk has two separate forms, Eerie and Kiln, each with a few key SAtABs of their own. Eerie can start with a nasty Hex set that abuses Toxic Chain, while Kiln can take it up a notch as a defensive Mon, via spreading dangerous Lava Plumes, though it may prefer to run Heatproof.
