I like X more than Y, poison on Slowbro makes me uncomfortable. I like the hippo theme tho

Golem
Typing: Rock/Ground -----> Rock/Ground
Abilities: Rock Head / Sturdy / Sand Veil -----> Sand Force
BST: 80/120/130/55/65/45 (495) -----> 80/160/140/65/85/65 (595)
New moves: none............................--/+40/+10/+10/+20/+20
Description: What this does is make Gollum a very fearful sweeper, with base 160 attack, 65 speed, and very respectable 80/140/85 defenses it can find many opportunities to set up Autotomize. And with Sand Force and the provenance of Tyranitar and Hippowdon it could abuse the opponent's own sand against them, or have them as teammates to support him for exactly that reason.
It's typing is still terrible so it's still easily taken care of, don't worry about it being broken.
Slowbro time
Water-Psychic -> Water-Psychic
Ability: Intimidate
Stats: 95/75/110/100/80/30 -> 95/85/150/140/80/40
Concept: The ultimate physical wall slowbro shuts down over half the op physical attackers in this new meta. YOU THINK THIS METAGAME IS OFFENSIVE? YOU HAVENT SEEN SLOWBRO. Intimidate because screw your shenanigans, Slowbro is gonna wall you (not talking to defiant users). However, in an attempt to keep it slightly balanced, Psychic typing remains (so weak to bisharp), and notice how I didn't increase spdef. Pointless stat buffs because let's be honest, NO mega is complete without pointless stat buffs.
<---- Mega slowbro right there. So that justifies intimidate. DOESNT IT LOOK SO EVIL?

Best submission. All of you can go home.
What a nice way to increase people's self esteem
I like this really solid and stuff.

Impressively balanced with the added bulk helping to ease the set up chances and yet still having woeful typing Liked :)
My problem with this is the disrupted stat distribution. Defense really should be higher than attack IMO, it doesn't make flavorful or logical sense to change that

I like the ability though
I can see giving boosts to useless stats for things that already have good stats. Not Golem, though. I'd say that based of its current stats, you should take 10 Atk and 10 SpA and put it in Def, it should remain higher than Atk.

I personally could see it working about as well with Sand Rush, but Sand Force is cool too. Only issue I see is that Garchomp exists as another Mega with Sand Force.
If he drops the speed back to 45, we can have a Mega that works incredibly awkwardly at best in Singles and niche-y in Doubles (Sandstorm Trick Room abuser). Now its speed is mega awkward
Well, at +2 it's kinda fast. The issue with Sand Force is that it finds it difficult to set up
acestriker19 why isn't Phione on the list? It's a fully evolved Pokemon
Golem's kind of a dead subject imo. Whatever it's going to do, it'll be overshadowed by other Pokemon. What I did was give him a pretty unique niche in being really bulky with its defensively terrible typing and try to make him stronger with 160 base attack and the ability to demolish with Sand Force activated. It's typing is wonderful offensively and it should make use of that imo with STAB QuakEdge, which are a nuke.
Even with that, he's still kinda overshadowed by Rock Polish Rhyperior lol.
Must have missed it but I'm adding it now thanks for letting me know!
Just saying, but I'm positive that mega phione has been done by someone when we were in the reservation period.
It's not on the Google Doc
Well this is Phone we're talking about.
I'm certain there are ways to make its Mega interesting. We'll see what the crowd comes up with
PRIMEAPE
Fighting -> Fighting
Ability: Vital Spirit/Anger Point/Defiant -> No Guard
Stats: 65/105/60/60/70/95 -> 65/150 (+45)/65 (+5)/60/70/135 (+40)
New Moves: Dynamic Punch, Mach Punch, Knock Off, Swords Dance
Concept: Primeape has always been a pretty overlooked Pokemon. However, I've given it some certain boosts that give it a rather offensive role. It now gains the Ability No Guard, and got a new move, a form of Priority that benefit from this as well as the legendary Knock Off. It can now spam 100% accurate Dynamic Punches, use Mach Punch, Knock Off items, and use Swords Dance to boost its new high Attack. It got two offensive stat boosts as well as a minor one to Defense. It now has an amazing base 150 Physical Attack, and a very helpful 135 Speed. Given these stat boosts, it can function well as either a wallbreaker or sweeper.

Too many new moves. Limit is 3. And not everything needs another boosting move. It gets Hone Claws and Bulk Up already.

I don't understand why Slowbro is Psychic type. I chose Fighting type because when you decide to classify a bro as a type it's either normal or fighting.
I took slow to mean slow to react to pain so numb. I didnt use magic guard for the purpose of belly drum.
The new moves are for stab.

Hone claws on a no guard set, genius. And bulk up is shit on primeape lol learn how to play Pokemon. And whatever, get rid of knock off I guess
I think this might just break a few rules. For example, lowered Defense is a no. +80 Speed is also a no. It's a nice concept but come on. If you really want to, pull an Azumarill and give it Aqua Jet to bypass its low Speed.
