Added Moves: Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw
Weight: 191.8 lbs | 87.0 kg
Flavor/Design: Pokémon X: "The second Mega stone associated with Venusaur has caused its flower and even body to seemingly lose cohesion in many places, becoming pale and ethereal as well as lighter and faster."
Pokémon Y: "Even when not using the pale pink petals of its now detached flower to cover itself or block attacks, unnatural shadows cover Venusaur no matter how much sunlight it is bathed in."
Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: "The fact that the energy of Mega evolution has caused the majority of the flower on Venusaur's back to come apart has only raised further questions as to the nature of the seed implanted there."
My "let's indulge in Mega-form cruelty to justify type-changing" tour continues with a Venusaur that's literally falling apart. Not in a gruesome...well, okay, not in a gory, edgy sort of way that makes it look like some rotting zombie way with its brain exposed or anything like that, but in a sort of ill and "ruined" way.
Even before my idea to make sure idea that at least one of the Gen I starter's Mega forms had a total advantage over the other, which Grass/Poison already does over Water/Fairy, the "ghostly" idea also fit just because all flowers naturally wilt after blooming. So Venusaur-Mega-Y also lost some weight, in its case an entire Ivysaur's worth.
To be honest, I mostly just wanted a Grass/Ghost mon that finally focused on SpA since somehow we have four fully evolved ones--technically *seven* if you count all Gourgeist forms separately--yet they all focus on physically attacking. That's long bothered the hell out of me, so this is a very glassy cannon-y attempt to "fix" that, at least on the physical side since I also wanted each starter Mega to have 130 stat somewhere due to Charizard-Mega-X. Venusaur-Mega-Y ended up with 130, so it's actually bulkier than the official Venusaur-Mega on that side.
(Shadow Claw is more just a formality given that otherwise this thing kind of hilariously walls itself via Bulletproof and its own new typing.)
Competitive Overview: This thing is a stallbreaker supreme just because it murders all of the usual Stall mons with SubSeed stuff: Blissey, Amoonguss, and Toxapex can't really touch it at all behind a sub and this has quite a few tools to bully even Corviknight and Clefable as well. Hell, it's basically the only mon that can probably really take advantage of having both Synthesis and now-Ghost-type Curse (since Trevenant somehow doesn't get the former despite being slow as hell, likely due to Harvest). And it only gets better with Dragapult's stupid self gone.
That said, given how difficult (read: impossible) Blastoise's new Mega was to balance and given how fat both figuratively and literally Venusaur-Mega(-X) is, I intentionally let this be a glass cannon physically, especially since it has loads of recovery tools. So watch out for Pursuit and Sucker Punch mons (and have something else to kill other Bulletproof mons I guess). It's at least not automatically dead weight against offensive teams, however, since it's actually rather bulky on the special side as already noted, not that it really completely resists many common special attackers outside of two of the Tapus and, uh, Regieleki? Shrug.

Added Moves: Icicle Spear, Ice Ball, Hammer Arm
Weight: 125.5 kg
Flavor/Design (Optional): Upon Mega Evolving, water from Blastoise's cannons freeze inside them, forming a a formidable ice harpoon that Blastoise is able to shoot out at any moment. With this new weapon, Blastoise is able to attack foes from far away and drag them back to where Blastoise is in order to keep attacking them. Legend has it that the first siting of a Mega Blastoise X was when one harpooned a sail ship, causing it to sink and the crew to go missing, with only one surviving to tell the tale
Competitive Overview (Optional): With a pretty bleh defensive typing, only okay STABs in Liquidation and Ice Punch, and a meh speed tier, Mega Blastoise X should be a threatening but very balanced Shell Smash sweeper. With Long Reach, it can avoid being worn down by Ferrothorn, one of its biggest switchins, and any random Rocky Helmet chip, while the coverage from its STAB + Earthquake or Brick Break (or Hammer Arm if you wanna kill Ferro at the cost of one of your Speed boosts) lets it potentially sweep

Added Moves: Corrosive Gas, Gunk Shot, Poison Jab, Sludge Wave, Surf, Toxic Spikes, Waterfall
Removed Moves: Autotomize, Explosion, Flash Cannon, Hyper Beam, Self-Destruct, Solar Beam, Weather Ball
Weight: 39.7 lbs. | 18.0 kg [same as normal Roggenrola's weight]
Flavor/Design: Pokémon Sun: "The Roggenrola of Alola are thought to be born from volcanoes, though they oddly seem most at home on beaches and near the water."
Pokémon Moon: "If you see a Roggenrola floating in the air without expelling water, then stay away! Much like Koffing and Weezing, it can expel poisonous gasses to levitate."
Pokémon Ultra Sun: "Due to their ability to levitate as well as absorb significant amounts of water, Alolan Roggenrola have been theorized to have come to Alola from over the water or maybe even from underwater volcanoes."
Pokemon Ultra Moon: "Despite its lack of a solar energy core and the small cracks in its duller colored body that help it both absorb and vent gasses and liquids, Alolan Roggenrola are just as sturdy as other Roggenrola."
This was the third idea I had for Roggenrola-Alola and its line, but the first idea felt too mundane, and the second idea would have been too extreme in terms of stats moved around to make up for the awful typing I was going to give it--R.I.P. useful Magcargo. So I would like to think this is a happy compromise despite that usually being an oxymoron and this ending up with two immunities to would-be weaknesses, which is another significant change from something that would probably just look like regular Roggenrola but more brown and with purple crystals. This especially since like the second idea I had, this Roggenrola-Alola and its line are still based on the idea of volcanic rocks, just focusing instead on volcanic poison gases and volcanic interaction with water than the innately fiery parts of volcanism.
Competitive Overview: I still know nothing about Little Cup, but I doubt that Kid Nihilego would make much of a splash despite giving that tier | metagame a unique "new" typing. Shrug.

Added Moves: Aqua Jet
Weight: 224.9 lbs. | 102.0 kg [same as regular Boldore's weight]
Flavor/Design: Pokémon Sun: "Despite outwardly looking like Boldore of other regions, Alolan Boldore's purple crystals contain harmful poisonous minerals instead of solar energy."
Pokémon Moon: "It likes to explore beaches as much as it does caves. Despite its potentially frightening appearance, if treated nicely and handled with care, Boldore is an extremely friendly and loyal pokémon."
Pokémon Ultra Sun: "People who prey on Boldore of other regions have found a dangerous surprise when trying to take the crystals of Alolan Boldore, especially since ones with the red and sometimes orangeish crystals are the most poisonous."
Pokemon Ultra Moon: "This pokémon has an unfortunate habit of resting in the sandy shorelines of beaches to absorb water in a leisurely way, which often results in it being stepped on and poisoning people or pokémon by accident."
Boldore but browner and with purple crystals--unless its shiny, in which case it gets cinnabar red crystals to signify deadliness--continues to depart from regular Boldore by getting access to a decently nice priority move, which is what ultimately saw its Atk getting reduced unlike what I originally intended. It's maybe slightly spikier and/or slightly rounder. Shrug.
Competitive Overview: Like Roggenrola-Alola, I still know nothing about the Not Fully Evolved tier or if that's even a thing, so who knows--not me certainly. I suppose I could see this being a decent tank in lower tiers like PU or something, but it's not like I know much about those tiers either.

New Evolution Name: Gigalith-Alola
Type:/
Abilities: Sturdy / Levitate / Water Absorb (hidden ability)
Stats: 085 HP / 130 Atk / 125 Def / 060 SpA / 090 SpD / 025 Spe [base Gigalith's stats: 085 HP / 135 Atk / 130 Def / 060 SpA / 080 SpD / 025 Spe]
Added Moves: Moonlight
Weight: 573.2 lbs. | 260.0 kg [same as regular Gigalith]
Flavor/Design: Pokémon Sun: "It is normally rather slow, but if it's absorbed enough gas or water and angered enough, it can jet around in short bursts at surprising speed if it sees something it wants to attack."
Pokémon Moon: "In the exact opposite behavior of other Gigalith, Alolan Gigalith seem to be most activate at night. It is still unknown why at present."
Pokémon Ultra Sun: "The lack of a large energy core to absorb sunlight may make this version of Gigalith less destructive than others, but in some ways that aids with its compression and makes it even more sturdy and resilient."
Pokemon Ultra Moon: "Alola Gigalith in the wild spend almost as much time bathing in moonlight as they do in the water, causing some to speculate that they gain nutrition from moonlight somehow."
And we finally get to bizzaro, poisonous Gigalith, which has the same color and mechanical changes as both Roggenrola-Alola and Boldore-Alola, but now takes it even further by getting an outright non-Rest healing move in the form of Moonlight, (doubly) ironically making it more effective in Sun than regular Gigalith ever would be despite that having Solar Beam. Between Levitate doing away with its quad weakness--if you avoid Mold Breaker mons and I guess Zydog--and it keeping most of its bulk even if its Def is intentionally less due to now shoring up its SpD a bit, I fear that Moonlight could push it over the edge in terms of being obnoxious in at least one tier even if I doubt it would be broken enough to get banned from OU. "...Probably," he says, looking nervously at Corrosive Gas and Moonlight and hazards being all on the same non-Smeargle mon.
Competitive Overview: As the great philosopher Cowboy Bebop once told the world, "Tank!". ...Well, more "wall" really now that it has access to Moonlight in addition to everything else it's gained from its new all defensive abilities to its new moves to the status options it already had. I thankfully resisted the urge to give it Spikes too, though that seems to have let me give into the urge to let it have a couple of Water moves after I realized Water Absorb justified them.
Despite having lesser bulk overall (outside of Sandstorm), this is ironically probably plays better on Sand teams as a support mon than regular Gigalith tends to play as a support mon even when it's actually setting Sand, especially since this Gigalith-Alola does have naturally higher SpD and can also outright either avoid Ground or even absorb Water for its team if it really wants to do so. I could even easily see using Boots on this to bluff Levitate at times despite it neither being weak to Stealth Rock nor lacking healing.
There's not much else to say about it beyond that outside of the fact that I guess it's also a decent revenge killer, at least against frail, Water-weak mons due to having access to Aqua Jet at present. Yay?

Flavor/Design: Gigalith is shaped like a quadruped snow animal, with small but numerous blue crystals that can be fired like missiles.
Justification: Rock / Ice is a horrid defensive Typing, with two double-weaknesses in the form of Steel and Fighting. Alolan Gigalith focus on the offensive side of things, with fast Aurora Veil or Stealth Rocks support (or even both!) and dual priority in Accelerock and Ice Shard. Naturally fast, but lacks boosting moves except Rock Polish, which means it can also be used for revenge killing.

Added Moves: Grassy Terrain, Sunny Day, Worry Seed, Solar Blade, Petal Blizzard, Bullet Seed, Grass Knot, Solar Beam
Removed Moves: Autotomize, Flash Cannon, Heavy Slam, Lock-On, Magnitude, Sand Tomb, Sandstorm
Weight: 12 kg
Flavor/Design (Optional): Legend has it that the Alolan variant of Roggenrolas first sprang up when a trainer released a few their Roggenrolas into the Melemele Meadow. While a few went to live in the nearby Seaward Cave, most stayed in the meadow, soaking up the sun and frolicking in the flowers, just because of how nice it felt. Eventually, after staying in the Sun for so long combined with getting bits of flower and seeds all over them, flowers began to grow on the Roggenrolas, allowing them to enjoy the sun even more, though some trainers note that their Alolan Roggenrolas are often in discomfort due to the flowers.
Competitive Overview (Optional): Stupid low special bulk and weakness to Fighting plus being severely outclassed by Onix means that Roggenrola-A has no place in LC

Removed Moves: Autotomize, Flash Cannon, Heavy Slam, Lock-On, Magnitude, Sand Tomb, Sandstorm
Weight: 80 kg
Flavor/Design (Optional): The bodies of Alolan Boldores are even more overrun with flowers and greenery than Roggenrolas, but Boldores are much more used to this and use it to their advantage, allowing them to soak up the sun's rays more efficiently and create a little ecosystem on their bodies, with Cutieflies commonly pollinating their flowers and Oricorio's getting nectar from them

Removed Moves: Autotomize, Flash Cannon, Heavy Slam, Lock-On, Magnitude, Sand Tomb, Sandstorm, Throat Chop
Weight: 200 kg
Flavor/Design (Optional): Alolan Gigaliths are highly important figures in the Melemele Meadow ecosystem as they can essentially act as a habitat for Bug and Grass Pokémon by themselves, thanks to their large size, large amount of flowers that sprout berries, and friendly demeanors. Seeing this and seeing how rapid industrialization is effecting local Bug and Grass Pokémon populations in other parts of Alola, Aether Paradise scientists have started using Alolan Gigaliths as mini-habitats for displaced Pokémon, until they can be relocated to another habitat. The flowers on Gigalith's body change depending on where they are; Yellow in Melemele Meadow, Red in Ula'ula, Lavendar in Poni, Pink at the Royale Avenue garden, and white anywhere else.
Competitive Overview (Optional): I took the fact that Gigalith already learns Solar Beam for some reason and ran with it. Anyway, with Cultivate and good 125 Attack, Gigalith has monstrous power behind its Returns and Double-Edges, combined with coverage in STAB Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Superpower to cover for meh offensive coverage. Plus, with its good 85/125/95 bulk and Strength Sap and an okay defensive typing, Gigalith can act as a pretty decent physical wall.

Added Moves: [NONE]
Weight: 476.2 lbs. | 216.0 kg [the same weight as Lugia; base Dragonite's weight: 463.0 lbs | 210.0 kg]
Flavor/Design: I'm not going to do mock Pokédex entries for this one due to a combination of not being sure which Gen it "should" go, being distracted by a sudden & lengthy back-and-forth text conversation I wasn't expecting, and being more than a bit tired. Just picture it as a Dragonite with bigger wings, a bit more bulk, longer claws, and maybe ridiculous lightning-shaped eyebrows and/or spikes on its back down to its tail. Shrug.
I decided to lean more into the speed and anti-rough seas aspect of Dragonite's entries than anything else, though not in the way that I originally intended. Much like the Alolan Roggenrola family, this was my third idea for this mon. I had wanted to do a Dragon/Water one, but Sereg already did that, and I think this is probably more balanced anyway than my initial idea anyway. Well, as much as a 700 BST mon that we're trying not to make Ubers-level can be, which is why I intentionally dumped so much into Speed and kept its arguably mediocre innate typing.
Competitive Overview: This is meant to be an anti-meta mon more than a direct attempt at "let's not repeat Salamence-Mega's mistake"...which is why I just dropped that Atk boost a bit and dumped even more into SpA only just now. If I did well enough, then this Dragonite-Mega might get to happily sit between the brokenness of Salamence-Mega and even Metagross-Mega due to its lack of a damage-boosting ability and the basically never-used limbo of Garchomp-Mega and Tyranitar-Mega, though again, it's largely a meta-call even with the amount of Speed it got.
Speaking of which, it got that much Speed almost solely because, besides flavor, it needed at least 137 Speed to punch Barraskewda in its stupid face even outside of rain, and then I remembered that Dragapult's even dumber face has 142 Speed. So here were are. I figure Cloud Nine made the most sense to screw over Rain teams, especially since it's supposedly Kingdra's rival from forever ago and since Water Absorb doesn't stop Ice from murdering it, in addition to Sand teams as well as the far rarer Sun teams and even Hail (read: mostly Aurora Veil) teams. That's honestly about it, though I do worry about its Speed alone being enough to push it over the edge, especially when Multiscale is a hell of a drug for set-up before becoming Mega.

Added Moves: Heavy Slam, Liquidation, Sheer Cold, Hyper Voice, Flip Turn, Scary Face
Weight: 840 kg
Flavor/Design (Optional): Once upon a time, a a legendary Dragonite roamed the Seveii Islands in the Kanto Region. Local elders say that this Dragonite was almost nothing like your typical powerful, but cute Dragonite. This Dragonite was absolutely gigantic, rivaling Gigantamax forms in height and some Ultra Beasts in weight, had much darker skin than normal, glowing yellow eyes that shined brighter than a lighthouse, and a booming voice who's sonic waves could cause an earthquake. It was so large, some say, that a deep fog would precede its presence. While no reported incidents took place while the monster roamed the islands, locals were absolutely terrified of it, falling dead silent every time that heard it coming. The last reported sighting took place about 25 years ago, with the last sighting before that being over 50 years before that.
In the present day, scientists created a Mega Stone for Dragonites in order to try and replicate the power of this legendary giant Dragonite of old. After many years of trial and error, the scientists finally created something that can strike fear into the hearts of trainers facing it down. However, the elders of the Seveii Islands note that this manmade Mega Dragonite is nowhere near as terrifying as the legendary giant Dragonite of old.
Competitive Overview (Optional): This thing is FAT, with great 91/125/135 bulk and a bunch of utility moves in Roost, Flip Turn, Haze, Roar, Dragon Tail, Body Press, Thunder Wave, Defog, and Heal Bell, made even better with Pressure sapping away the opponent's PP. With its fatness and pretty-good-for-a-Mega 144 Attack, it can also attempt to sweep teams by setting up multiple Dragon Dances. However, it has a bad Stealth Rock weakness and its slow and pretty weak without a DDance, plus it has to rely on Roost a lot since it lacks Leftovers, so you have to be careful using it.

Concept: With this mega evolution, Dragonite reverts back to the mystical serpent-like appearance of Dratini and Dragonair. It also becomes a much stronger special attacker and gains the Fairy-typing. Competitively, it'd be a great special wall breaker as it already has amazing special coverage with BoltBeam, Flamethrower, etc. Its only way to boost its special attack is through Berserk, which means that it would have to lose hp to be able to setup. What helps with this is that it has good bulk and could recover hp with Roost after gaining a Berserk boost. Berserk also gives it the potential to run mixed wall breaking sets.

Pokémon Ultra Sun: "People who prey on Boldore of other regions have found a dangerous surprise when trying to take the crystals of Alolan Boldore, especially since ones with the red and sometimes orangeish crystals are the most poisonous."
Pokemon Ultra Moon: "This pokémon has an unfortunate habit of resting in the sandy shorelines of beaches to absorb water in a leisurely way, which often results in it being stepped on and poisoning people or pokémon by accident."
Boldore but browner and with purple crystals--unless its shiny, in which case it gets cinnabar red crystals to signify deadliness--continues to depart from regular Boldore by getting access to a decently nice priority move, which is what ultimately saw its Atk getting reduced unlike what I originally intended. It's maybe slightly spikier and/or slightly rounder. Shrug.
Competitive Overview: Like Roggenrola-Alola, I still know nothing about the Not Fully Evolved tier or if that's even a thing, so who knows--not me certainly. I suppose I could see this being a decent tank in lower tiers like PU or something, but it's not like I know much about those tiers either.
Pokémon: Boldore-Alola
Link: Evolution
New Evolution Name: Gigalith-Alola
Type:/
Abilities: Sturdy / Levitate / Water Absorb (hidden ability)
Stats: 085 HP / 130 Atk / 125 Def / 060 SpA / 090 SpD / 025 Spe [base Gigalith's stats: 085 HP / 135 Atk / 130 Def / 060 SpA / 080 SpD / 025 Spe]
Added Moves: Moonlight
Weight: 573.2 lbs. | 260.0 kg [same as regular Gigalith]
Flavor/Design: Pokémon Sun: "It is normally rather slow, but if it's absorbed enough gas or water and angered enough, it can jet around in short bursts at surprising speed if it sees something it wants to attack."
Pokémon Moon: "In the exact opposite behavior of other Gigalith, Alolan Gigalith seem to be most activate at night. It is still unknown why at present."
Pokémon Ultra Sun: "The lack of a large energy core to absorb sunlight may make this version of Gigalith less destructive than others, but in some ways that aids with its compression and makes it even more sturdy and resilient."
Pokemon Ultra Moon: "Alola Gigalith in the wild spend almost as much time bathing in moonlight as they do in the water, causing some to speculate that they gain nutrition from moonlight somehow."
And we finally get to bizzaro, poisonous Gigalith, which has the same color and mechanical changes as both Roggenrola-Alola and Boldore-Alola, but now takes it even further by getting an outright non-Rest healing move in the form of Moonlight, (doubly) ironically making it more effective in Sun than regular Gigalith ever would be despite that having Solar Beam. Between Levitate doing away with its quad weakness--if you avoid Mold Breaker mons and I guess Zydog--and it keeping most of its bulk even if its Def is intentionally less due to now shoring up its SpD a bit, I fear that Moonlight could push it over the edge in terms of being obnoxious in at least one tier even if I doubt it would be broken enough to get banned from OU. "...Probably," he says, looking nervously at Corrosive Gas and Moonlight and hazards being all on the same non-Smeargle mon.
Competitive Overview: As the great philosopher Cowboy Bebop once told the world, "Tank!". ...Well, more "wall" really now that it has access to Moonlight in addition to everything else it's gained from its new all defensive abilities to its new moves to the status options it already had. I thankfully resisted the urge to give it Spikes too, though that seems to have let me give into the urge to let it have a couple of Water moves after I realized Water Absorb justified them.
Despite having lesser bulk overall (outside of Sandstorm), this is ironically probably plays better on Sand teams as a support mon than regular Gigalith tends to play as a support mon even when it's actually setting Sand, especially since this Gigalith-Alola does have naturally higher SpD and can also outright either avoid Ground or even absorb Water for its team if it really wants to do so. I could even easily see using Boots on this to bluff Levitate at times despite it neither being weak to Stealth Rock nor lacking healing.
There's not much else to say about it beyond that outside of the fact that I guess it's also a decent revenge killer, at least against frail, Water-weak mons due to having access to Aqua Jet at present. Yay?
Pokémon Name: Mega Dragonite @ Dragonitite
Link: Mega Evolution
Type:
Ability: Berserk
Weight: 335.0 kg | 738.5 lbs
Height: 5.8 m | 19'00"
Stats: 91 / 134 / 115 (+20) / 144 (+44) / 115 (+15) / 101 (+21) (700 BST)
Added Moves:
Play Rough
Moon Blast, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss
...
Concept: With this mega evolution, Dragonite reverts back to the mystical serpent-like appearance of Dratini and Dragonair. It also becomes a much stronger special attacker and gains the Fairy-typing. Competitively, it'd be a great special wall breaker as it already has amazing special coverage with BoltBeam, Flamethrower, etc. Its only way to boost its special attack is through Berserk, which means that it would have to lose hp to be able to setup. What helps with this is that it has good bulk and could recover hp with Roost after gaining a Berserk boost. Berserk also gives it the potential to run mixed wall breaking sets.
Congratulations to The Damned, JosJet, and Samtendo09 for winning!
Pokémon: Ledian
Link: Base Stat Total Change
Stats: 55 HP / 35 Atk / 50 Def / 55 SpA / 110 SpD / 95 Spe (+10) | 400 BST
Justification: 95 Speed is impressive by PU / ZU standards, so Ledian being able to set up Light Screen and Reflect while equipping Heavy-Duty Boots if lower tiers under UU in NatDex become a thing.
