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

:ss/decidueye:
Name of the Pokemon: Decidueye
Role(s): Mixed Wallbreaker, Set-Up Sweeper (Nasty Plot, Swords Dance), Hazard Removal (Defog), Hazard Setter (Spikes)
Type: Grass/Ghost
Abilities: Overgrowth / Long Reach (HA)
Stat Distribution: 73/107/70/105/100/95 (550)
Movepool Additions: Thousand Arrows, Spikes
Movepool Removals: -
Justification: I gave Decidueye a usable Speed Tier alongside more SpA and a Ground-type coverage move. Grass and Ghost work well with Ground on offense and Thousand Arrows even helps with Flying-types that can be annoying. Special Sets can utilise Hurricane and Nasty Plot and while their coverage is worse, Special Sets have higher BP moves. Decidueye can also run bulkier sets with Roost and Defog, in case a team needs it. It can also run Spikes on its offensive sets to punish switch ins.

:ss/zweilous:
Name of the Pokemon: Zweilous (can hold eviolite)
Role(s): Physical Wallbreaker, Set-Up Sweeper (Dragon Dance, Coil)
Type: Dark/Dragon
Abilities: Hustle
Stat Distribution: 105/85/70/65/70/65 (460)
Movepool Additions: Coil
Movepool Removals: -
Justification: Zweilous serves as a bulky attacker. Hustle gives it a free CB boost while also allowing it to run an Eviolite for more bulk. Coil makes up for the accuracy drop while making it stronger and bulkier. It has a 4MSS. Coil, RestTalk and Crunch work, but they struggle against Fairies, while 3 attacks + Coil struggle against Status.
 
:bw/tropius:
Name of the Pokemon: Tropius
Role(s): Hazard Control (Defog,) Physical Attacker, Sun Abuser, Setup Sweeper (Dragon Dance)
Type:
Grass.png
Flying.png

Abilities: Chlorophyll / Harvest
Stat Distribution: 100 / 100 / 105 / 75 / 65 / 85 (BST: 530)
Movepool Additions: U-Turn, Pollen Puff
Movepool Removals: None
Justification: Tropius now gets some Bug-type moves for coverage, being more of support for removing hazards, being a crazy sun abuser, getting DD and a ton more. However, Tropius keeps its original typing so it won't go too crazy.

:ss/guzzlord:
Name of the Pokemon: Guzzlord
Role(s): Special Wall, Special Attacker
Type:
Dark.png
Dragon.png

Abilities: Beast Boost
Stat Distribution: 130 / 65 / 60 / 105 / 115 / 55 (BST: 530)
Movepool Additions: Dragon Pulse
Movepool Removals: Body Press, Drain Punch, Gyro Ball, Stone Edge, Steel Roller
Justification: Now I know what you're thinking, this HP stat sounds way too crazy, but thats because Guzzlord's HP stat was way to high lol. With that aside, it's a pretty threatening special wall with high HP and SPD stats, but to compensate it has low defense.

(1000th message :v4:)

I skipped out on CS2 so it's been so long since I subbed to one of these, good to be involved again even if it's not the same

Name of the Pokemon: Gastrodon
Role(s): Special Wall, Hazard Setter (Stealth Rock)
Type: Water/Ground
Abilities: Damp / Poison Touch / Water Absorb
Stat Distribution: 95/75/75/75/95/74 (489)
Movepool Additions: Scorching Sands, Flip Turn, Stealth Rock, Knock Off
Movepool Removals: Clear Smog
Justification: Let's start the meta with some defensive stuff, here's a hazard setter and bulky Water. Fire and Electric are typically special attacking types and you take Ice coverage decently so I felt like making this more specially bulky than physically.

Name of the Pokemon: Klefki
Role(s): Mixed Wall, Hazard Removal (Defog)
Type: Steel/Fairy
Abilities: Infiltrator / --- / Magician
Stat Distribution: 85/90/90/90/90/85 (530)
Movepool Additions: Recover, Whirlwind
Movepool Removals: Spikes, Calm Mind
Justification: Bulky Steel with mixed defenses to go with whatever defensive stat the meta needs it to. Not really the bulkiest but its typing should give it the defensive utility that it needs on its own.

EDIT: For all to see, I'll say here that I changed Seismitoad's (now Gastrodon's) HP and Sp. Def from 105 to 95.
EDIT2: Also was requested to swap Seismitoad for Gastrodon since Seismitoad was in CS2 apparently. Still will be functionally identical.

:swsh/vileplume:
Name of the Pokemon: Vileplume
Role(s): Special Wall, Hazard Setter (Toxic Spikes)
Type:
Grass.png
Poison.png

Abilities: Chlorophyll / Drought / (Effect Spore)
Stat Distribution: 75/80/95/115/110/50 (525)
Movepool Additions: Toxic Spikes
Movepool Removals: None
Justification: Bulky mon with a really good typing. While Drought worsens one of it's weaknesses, it also give it access to Solar Beam as STAB to not be passive at all. It also boosts Synthesis if it wants to use something else than Strength Sap as recovery (such as if the mons it wants to check end up having very low Attack stats)

:swsh/bronzong:
Name of the Pokemon: Bronzong
Role(s): Mixed Wall, Hazard Setter (Stealth Rock)
Type:
Steel.png
Psychic.png

Abilities: Heatproof / Heavy Metal / (Levitate)
Stat Distribution: 67/109/126/79/126/33 (540)
Movepool Additions: Recover
Movepool Removals: None
Justification: Bulky Steel. Sets rocks, isn't passive, has recovery. Good typing and great mixed bulk should make it pretty easy for it to adapt to the meta.
 
:ss/regidrago:
Pokemon: Regidrago
Roles: Defensive Pivot, Hazard Control, Mixed Wallbreaker
Type:
Dragon.png

Stat Distribution: 200/90/50/90/50/50 (530 BST)
Abilities: Dragons Maw | Regenerator
Movepool Additions: Rapid Spin, Parting Shot, Earthquake, Flamethrower, Fire Blast
Justification: An all-rounder defensive piece that can reliably clear hazards and then bring in offensive options in order to force progress throughout the match. Regen keeps it healthy and significantly shores up its otherwise mediocre bulk. Additionally, the surprise offensive Dragon's Maw set is still possible (and slightly boosted in viability thanks to better anti-Steel coverage) but the incredibly low speed should keep that kind of set more than manageable enough.

:ss/stunfisk-galar:
Pokemon: Stunkfisk-Galar
Roles: Special Wall, Mixed Wall, Hazards, Stallbreaker
Type:
Ground.png
Steel.png

Stat Distribution: 109/91/99/66/84/32 (481 BST)
Abilities: Mimicry | Magic Guard
Movepool Additions: Taunt
Custom Elements: Snap Trap is now a Physical Steel-type clone of Magma Storm
Justifcation: Magic Guard is a well known S-tier ability, so I am always careful when incorporating it into a submission. However, in Stunfisk's case, Magic Guard has a somewhat diminished impact on its overall effectiveness due to Ground/Steel's natural resilience to many forms of chip damage. That's not to say it's bad, of course. Ignoring spikes, burn chip, and the all-important 3% Stealth Rock damage is still quite appreciated. It also opens the door to run funny Life Orb sets! The last change worth mentioning is Snap Trap's newfound life as a potent trapping move that also inflicts decent immediate damage, so this guy could also stallbreak if you're mentally unstable.

A Knight with a Dragon to Fight

:Sirfetch’d:
Name of the Pokemon: Sirfetch'd
Role(s): Bulky SD Sweeper, Defogger, Revenge Killer, Choice Band User
Type: Fighting/Fairy
Abilities: Scrappy | Grassy Surge
Stat Distribution: 92/135/95/68/82/65 [BST: 537]
Movepool Additions: Roost, Toxic, Play Rough
Movepool Removals: Focus Energy

:Noivern:
Name of the Pokemon: Noivern
Role(s): Fast Calm Minder, Stealth Rock Setter, Revenge Killer, Choice Specs User
Type: Dragon/Psychic
Abilities: Frisk | Trace
Stat Distribution: 85/70/80/97/80/123 [BST: 535]
Movepool Additions: Stealth Rock, Calm Mind, Psyshock
Movepool Removals: Defog


Justification: I created a pair of 2 pokemon that fit multiple cool roles on different teams, while having a duality. They are both inspired by some of my favorite Pokemon in M4A.
Sirfetch'd: It can act as a versatile toolbox with access to both offensive and defensive sets and the ability to use them well. The ability grassy terrain supports its already great defensive typing with passive recovery and also an earthquake resistance. It has lots of different items it can use from Leek to Choice Band, to defensive sets with Leftovers or Rocky Helmet. It also has access to 2 priority moves in Grassy Glide and First Impression to revenge kill.
Noivern: Moving differently from Sirfetch'd Noivern is a fast pivot with access to stealth rock, its typing allows it to switch into moves moderately well but it can benefit still from the ability to roost this fast, or use regenerator back at the opponent. And considering its speed it can run calm mind sets well as well, but is held back by its average special attack stat.

:ss/entei:
Name of the Pokemon: Entei
Role(s): Choice Band user, Wallbreaker
Type: Fire
Abilities: Pressure | Inner Focus
Stat Distribution: 95 / 130 / 85 / 105 / 85 / 80 (total 580)
Movepool Additions: Earthquake, High Horsepower
Movepool Removals:
Justification: This build can 2HKO a lot of separate things, but has a speed tier that makes it prone to revenge-killing, and a Stealth Rock weakness, not dissimilar from SSOU Kyurem. Not much to say otherwise.
:ss/throh:
Name of the Pokemon: Throh
Role(s): Setup sweeper (Bulk Up), priority user (Drain Punch)
Type: Fighting
Abilities: Guts / Triage | Mold Breaker
Stat Distribution: 130 HP / 90 Atk / 85 Def / 30 SpAtk / 85 SpDef / 45 Spe (total 435)
Movepool Additions: Drain Punch
Movepool Removals:
Justification: Google Revenankh. Overall this could be a neat end-game sweeper, but relying on Drain Punch for recovery (&rest ig) leaves you dying to special threats.
 
thank you labor day for giving me time to get something together

:klang:
Name of the Pokemon: Klang (Eviolite compatible)
Role(s): Physical Tank, Hazard Removal (Rapid Spin), Hazard Setter (Spikes), Bulky Setup Sweeper
Type: Steel/Electric
Abilities: Levitate, Electric Surge
Stat Distribution: 60/80/110/70/70/50 | 440
Movepool Additions: Spark, Rapid Spin, Spikes, Bulldoze
Movepool Removals: Toxic
Justification: Pretty versatile Pokemon with a cool typing and Eviolite capability. Can set or remove hazards, maybe not both at the same time but can provide either. Levitate is very useful here as it leaves you with only two weaknesses, though without Recovery and reliance on Eviolite it's not impenetrable. If the Ground immunity doesn't suit you, Electric Surge can be used to boost the power of your Electric moves, which otherwise have unimpressive BP (90 and 65 respectively). Combined with setup moves like Shift Gear you could run this as a sweeper/cleaner that serves as a defensive pivot until the time is right.

:nidoqueen:
Name of the Pokemon: Nidoqueen
Role(s): Special Attacker, Wallbreaker, Late-Game Cleaner, Offensive Hazard Setter (Stealth Rocks)
Type: Ground/Fairy
Abilities: Sheer Force, Serene Grace
Stat Distribution: 65/70/75/95/75/100 | 480
Movepool Additions: Moonblast, Calm Mind
Movepool Removals: Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Incinerate, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Icy Wind
Justification: Fairy-type attacker that fully utilizes the power of Moonblast, either through LO Sheer Force or Serene Grace letting it fish for drops on the opponent in tandem with Earth Power. Forced switches can be capitalized on by setting SR. Calm Mind helps up its damage output: it's likely not fast enough for a sweep, but can either help it break or finish off a weakened team. I took away its Fire/Ice coverage (and Dragon Pulse) to make it less threatening versus any given Pokemon, which should help it make use of more interesting options instead of running 4 Attacks.
