Pet Mod Micrometa Mafia: A Clean Slate Spinoff (Slate 5: Setup Sweeper, Stallbreaker, Choice Scarf User, Priority User)

For those of you who don't know, the whole theory goes off of the saboteurs being given a prompt where their subs have two duplicate types with each other or existing Pokemon. Five people fell under this with their finalized submissions, and one more did so before changing them.
I was certain this was it until I learned that saboteurs had two prompts and they could take one or the other, but the way a lot of people who currently break or have broken the supposed shared types rule have really weirded me out. It's beyond me not agreeing with them, a lot of their arguments seriously feel very out of character. The biggest example I keep going back to is Keegan, who might be fine but could have easily jumped from one prompt to another. When I questioned him having two Grasses and two Dragons, it took him two full minutes of typing to tell me that they had different roles. When I kept talking to him about it, he asked the chat in general if there were any other issues with his subs as if to change the conversation. I could easily see that last part just being normal and not necessarily a saboteur play to try and hide something concerning, but with everything else that happened both in this conversation and in later conversations in the Discord, it's very weird. This is a pretty major thing for so many people to overlook twice, I would imagine just about everyone would want to avoid type redundancy even if I could easily see a few town being roped in with the saboteurs here. Either way, he could have easily jumped from one saboteur prompt to another.
The theory makes a lot of sense, and the situation lines up very well, so if they're saboteur then I can't even blame myself for falling for it. I have no other reason to believe otherwise other than the mostly empty "what if." For anyone who disagrees, feel free to argue with me about this on Discord or something even if I can't change my elimination votes, but until anyone convinces me otherwise I'll still be believing this.
I really don't think so, hats off to Ema if they're saboteur but I truly don't think they are. Their idea for what the prompt makes a lot of sense with how last slate leads me to think this is more about finding patterns, and it would make sense for the saboteurs are meant to bring in stuff that is unhealthy rather than blatantly overpowered. It's much easier to have a good argument from whether or not a sub is healthy or unhealthy, it keeps people who aren't good at judging power levels by nature from being screwed out of the mod, and it's going to be much easier to make discrete prompts like this.
