OK everyone the results are in. Here are the winners
Fire / Ice. Winner: Contrunion (5 votes). Runner up: Pyrice (2 votes)
Rock / Ghost: Cursphinx (4 votes). Runner up: Spirattler (3 votes)
Steel / Poison: Cryptech (3 votes). Runner up: X-talkerex (2 votes)
Dark / Electric: Thunderusa (5 votes). Runner up: Swindeul (2 votes)
Fairy / Fighting: Angealous (3 votes). Runner up: Cinderelic (2 votes)
Congratulations to PokemonMasterDebater Gravity Monkey Origin0 and Yoshiblaze - as your prize for winning this slate, you each get to pick one combination (this includes mono types if you wish) for the next slate. Please PM me or leave a message on my profile ASAP (this is to not clutter up the thread).
Have updated the spreadsheet in the OP with the winners of slate 1
Slate 2
Type: Rock / Fire (600 BST limit)
Type: Bug (530 BST limit)
Type: Psychic / Normal (530 BST limit)
Type: Fairy / Ground (530 BST limit)
Type: Ghost / Normal (530 BST limit)
As I had the most overall votes, I chose the Rock / Fire type for the 600 BST limit, partly because both are considered lacklustre types in standard Monotype and partly because I have an idea for a legendary quartet.

Basis: A manmade weather changing pokemon, as opposed to the nature-oriented terrain changers of Alola. Man vs. Nature stuff
Ability: Drought | Flash Fire (HA)
Base stats: 50 / 135 / 105 / 105 / 95 / 80 | BST: 570
Useful Moves:
: Flare Blitz, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Explosion
: Solarbeam, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Power Gem, Earth Power
: Stealth Rock
Sprite: Solrock colored crimson
Weight: 37.8 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 1.02 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: Solem is a powerful wallbreaker, Sun setter, and Choice Scarfer. On Fire teams, it will help smash past Fire-type checks on the opposing team in order to help its teammates clean up. Running a physically-based mixed set, its Rock, Ground, and Grass coverage will prove very valuable for Fire teams as well. Of course, Sun is quite beneficial to them too. On Rock teams, a Specially-based mixed set will provide stronger special hits than anything else Rock has access to.
Is it broken?: Flare Blitz is extremely powerful in Sun, but also damn near suical with only 50 base HP. Realistically Stealth Rock + one Flare Blitz kill will usually leave it too weak to switch in on Stealth Rock again. It's quite the glass cannon otherwise, so while it's a volatile threat, it shouldn't be overpowered. Smart sacs, pressure, and revenge killing are the name of the game.
Pokedex: This pokemon was created and given life by an ancient civilation. Unfortunately, they squandered its power to control the weather on warfare. When the Guardians of Alola intervened, only Solem was spared.
(Also part of a Legendary quartet lol)

Basis: Elizabeth + Ant. It's a queen ant.
Ability: Queenly Majesty / Swarm | Magic Guard (HA)
Base stats: 80 / 100 / 70 / 100 / 50 / 115 | BST: 515
Useful Moves:
: Attack Order, U-turn, Knock Off, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Superpower, Zen Headbutt
: Bug Buzz, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, Focus Blast
: Defog, Spikes, Taunt, Calm Mind, Encore, Defend Order, Heal Order,
Sprite: Durant colored green
Weight: 37.8 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 1.02 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: Bug tends to run offensive, and it has multiple great physical megas, Quiver Dance users, and Sticky Web setters. For a mono Bug type to stick out enough to be used on a mono Bug team, it needed to bring something significant to the table. This is why I ended up giving it Magic Guard and Spikes, alleviating some of Bug's poor relationship with hazards. Ilizant is a fast supporter, with U-turn, Spikes, Taunt, Encore, Defog, and Knock Off all being useable. It can also run Focus Sash to be a last minute sweep stopper, something that's pretty useful in monotype.
Is it broken?: Although it has some significant strengths, its bulk and coverage is not the greatest, and it has no way of boosting its power. Beating it with a bulky tank or a faster pokemon shouldn't be too hard.
Pokedex: Its regal wings denote its position as the leader of a colony of Durant. After leaving its home and establishing a new colony, it grew too large to fly anymore.

Basis: Annelida (the phylum of earthworms) + silk
Ability: Wonder Skin / Shield Dust | Dry Skin (HA)
Base stats: 30 / 20 / 20 / 145 / 225 / 15 | BST: 455
Useful Moves:
: none
: Earth Power, Moonblast, Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Hidden Power, Draining Kiss, Nature Power
: Geomancy, Heal Bell
Sprite: Caterpie colored pink
Weight: .02 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: .1 m
Egg Group(s): Bug
Competitive use: Provides Ground teams with a SpD tank and Water immunity that isn't as passive as Gastrodon or Seismitoad. On the special side, it's bulkier than Shuckle, but it has possibly the worst physical bulk of any fully evolved pokemon. With Geomancy, it also provides a bulky win condition for those teams, who tend to rely more on Swords Dance from Garchomp and Excadrill. Ground / Fairy is also uncommonly good offensive STAB coverage for either a Fairy- or Ground-type, so it should have some niches over other potential members of those teams.
Is it broken?: It's a pokemon with very strong advantages and very strong disadvantages, which can be more difficult to judge. I would say the fact that it is both slow and has one pitiful defense should prevent it from being OP, as you should have an opportunity to hit it with a physical attack before it can beat you. It can reach a whopping 352 Speed after a Z-Geomancy, but that requires a two turn setup and maximum Speed investment.
Pokedex: When it crawls through soil, it imbues the ground with a mysterious energy that causes plants to grow much taller and faster than normal.

Ability: Stamina / Pressure | Sheer Force (HA)
Base stats: 130 / 110 / 85 / 65 / 60 / 45 | BST: 495
Useful Moves:
: *Shadow Slam, Phantom Force, Return, Double Edge, Body Slam, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Superpower, Iron Head, Heavy Slam
: Hydro Pump, Muddy Water, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball
: Stealth Rock,
*Shadow Slam - Ghost-type Heavy Slam clone
Sprite: Donphan colored pale purple
Weight: 297 kg
Gender: Default 50/50
Size: 2.53 m
Egg Group(s): Field
Competitive use: A Stealth Rock tank and check to physical attackers, a bulky offensive pivot with Choice Band, or a mixed wallbreaker with Sheer Force. All of these traits are quite nice for Ghost and Normal teams alike. Its access to Stealth Rock should free up Ghost from running Golurk and Normal from running SR on Chansey. Pivoting into physical Fighting-types will be incredible for Normal teams, and punishing Choice-locked Ghost moves with strong attacks will be big for Ghost teams.
Is it broken?: I would look at it like a Rhyperior with way better defensive prowess but less offensive power. It's downfall will be the fact that it often moves last, lacks recovery, and is still vulnerable on the Special side. It's movepool is great but its Ghost STAB will be somewhat inconsistent, and Double Edge will do damage to itself.
Pokedex: It only lives in remote areas that are untouched by civilization. To encounter one, you must be strong-willed, with a mind clear of worries, so it mistakes you for a wild beast.
Basis: Elephants are large, intelligent, and strong-willed. Many of them are also endangered. These traits make 'elephant' a good fit for a pokemon that represents an ancient, pristine, wilderness that is lost to time.

Basis: Lackadaisical + cat
Ability: Fluffy / Thick Fat | Traunt (HA)
Base stats: 117 / 75 / 72 / 98 / 78 / 75 | BST: 515
Useful Moves:
: none
: Hyper Voice, Psychic, Psyshock, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Moonblast
: Slack Off, Calm Mind, Parting Shot, Skill Swap, Heal Bell
Sprite: Purugly with lightish red instead of grey
Weight: 18 kg
Gender: Default 50/50
Size: .4 m
Egg Group(s): Field
Competitive use: A nice bulky pivot or win condition that will make the most of the Ghost immunity and Fighting neutrality it provides for Psychic and Normal teams, respectively. Fluffy gives it outstanding physical bulk, but it's still notably vulnerable to Earthquake, Stone Edge, and most of all Z-moves. Although Psychic and Normal have no shortage of bulky pokemon, its type, reliable recovery, and incredible bulk (factoring fluffy) should make it worth a pick.
Is it broken?: You definitely shouldn't sleep on setup sets, but either offensive pressure, Taunt, or status should be sufficient to stop it from running away with a Calm Mind sweep.
Pokedex: When it sits idly, little can sway its attention. While it appears to be lazing around, it's mind is busy warding away evil spirits.

Ghost / Normal
Psychic / Normal (WIP)
Name Origin: Tabby (as in Tabby Cat) + Abyss
Ability: Shadow Guardian (Fur Coat Clone) / Friend Guard (HA)
Base stats: 65 / 85 / 70 / 53 / 65 / 92 [425 BST]
Useful Moves (Pure flavor in brackets)
Physical: Return, Knock Off, Shadow Sneak, Shadow Claw, U-Turn, [(Z-)Bounce, (Z-)Dig,] (Z-)Wake-Up Slap, Rapid Spin, Play Rough, Elemental Fangs, Body Slam
Special: Night Shade, [Moonblast, Charge Beam, Hyper Voice, Disarming Voice, Shadow Ball]
Status: Moonlight, Hone Claws, Toxic, Heal Bell, Substitute, Memento, Taunt, Yawn, Encore, Pain Split, Trick, Bulk Up [Spite, Spite, Grudge]
Sprite: Glameow with deep purple fur and (if possible) one blue eye and one red eye
Weight: 10.2 lbs (4.6 kg)
Gender: 50% Male, 50% Female
Size: 1' 4'' (.4 m)
Egg Group(s): Fairy, Field
Competitive use: WIP (A Fighting-type check to aid Chansey and alleviate hazard removal duties from Staraptor, also helps Ghost as a great pivot and deals with mirror matches. Can also use a gimmick in a Bulk Up set with Moonlight and decent coverage from Return and Wake-Up Slap/Shadow Claw/Play Rough. (92 Speed underspeeds max speed Adamant TTar so you can U-Turn on it without taking a ton of damage from Pursuit))
Is it broken?: Tabbyss' poor 65/65 Special bulk means that any strong special attacker should have no problem beating it. At only 92 Speed, base 61s (neutral max speed) and 51s (positive nature max speed) can outspeed bulky Tabbyss and force it to use Moonlight more often, which only has 8 PP. Also, non-Bulk Up sets are extremely passive.
Pokedex: The shadow that follows this cute Pokémon has a mind of its own. Sometimes, it may attack somebody who walks near Tabbyss, though it's quite weak.

Base stats: 75 / 115 / 70 / 90 / 70 / 115 [530 BST]
Useful Moves (Pure flavor in brackets)
Based on Girafarig's movepool, new moves with an asterisk
Physical: Return, Hyper Fang, Psychic Fangs* (now compatible with Gen 2 moves), Earthquake, Elemental Fangs*, Poison Fang*, Crunch, Double Kick, Iron Tail, Facade, Double-Edge* (compatible with all moves), Seed Bomb
Special: Hyper Voice, Psychic, Psyshock, Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Focus Blast*, Mirror Coat
Status: Nasty Plot, Wish, Calm Mind, Trick, Skill Swap, Magic Coat
Sprite: Girafarig but stretched vertically
Weight: WIP
Gender: 50% Male, 50% Female
Size: WIP
Egg Group(s): Field
Competitive use: WIP (Physical Meloetta)
Is it broken?: Especially with the expected power creep that will likely take place, Arafara's bulk when uninvested is quite poor. Arafara's Speed tier, while great, is still outsped by offensive threats like Tapu Koko, Tornadus-T, Greninja, Weavile, and more. Also, do to a lack of good Attack boosting move, very bulky physical walls like Celesteela can take it on (especially if it doesn't run Fire Fang).
Is the prevolution broken with Eviolite? Girafarig's bulk is still lackluster with an Eviolite, has no forms of recovery other than Wish, and is weak to Knock Off, so it still sucks

I am amazed how similar this submission is to the one I was making! Even down to the Pokemon in the placeholder sprite is the exact same!! Well guess I'm taking that design back to the drawing board lol.
Anyway, speaking of submissions...
Insperation: Gnomes and Dwarfs from various fantasy stories. Name is based on Dig and Gnome.
Ability: Keen Eye / Thick Fat (Pixilate)
Base stats: 85/125/55/50/130/85 [530] (Subject to change)
Useful Moves:
: Earthquake, Stomping Tantrum, Play Rough, Quick Attack, Body Slam, Return, Double Edge, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Payback, Fire Punch
: Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, Power Gem,
: Switcheroo, Stealth Rock, Slack Off, Sing, Rock Polish, Swords Dance, Curse
Sprite: Drowzee with lighter yellow skin, dark blue replacing the brown parts, a white beard, and a big red pointed cone hat like a lawn gnome.
Weight: WIP
Gender: 50/50 (And all the females have beards too. I insist upon this.)
Size: WIP
Egg Group(s): Human-Like.
Competitive use: WIP
Ground: Can be a bulky pivot, able to switch in to Ice type moves easier than most ground types. Can also function as a wall breaker with really powerful STAB Pixilate Return/Double Edge.
Fairy: STAB Earthquake can Plow through most things that resist it's Fariy STAB, making it best suited to a Wall Breaker or late game Cleaner role.
Is it OP?: Its middling speed means that it will have a hard time sweeping without a boost against most teams, and it's physical bulk is relatively low, meaning it can be forced out or revenge killed

More to come.
Edit: More has come.
Insperation: Schrodinger's Cat, a famous thought experiment that has deeply confused many people for nearly a century. Hidden ability is a reference to the use of Poison in the thought experiment.

: Façade, Shadow Claw, Quantum Entanglement, Stomping Tantrum, Quick Attack, Shadow Sneak, U-Turn, Elemental Fangs, Psychic Fang[Psycho Cut, Slash, Cross Poison, Dig, Bite]
: Hyper Voice, Tri Attack, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Dark Pulse, Infestation.
: Toxic, Substitute, Work Up, Hone Claws, Calm Mind, Amnisia, Nasty Plot
NEW MOVE: Quantum Entanglement: Ghost type, Physical, 80 Power, 100 Accuracy, 16 Max PP, Makes Contact.
If the user has a major status affliction, this move will inflict that status onto the target on hit. Doesn't cure user's status, and doesn't ignore status immunities.
Sprite:Delcatty Purugly with sp00ky colors.
Weight: WIP
Gender: 50/50
Size: WIP
Egg Group(s): Field & Amorphous.
Competitive use: A physical tank that can effectively spread Toxic Poison while attacking, grinding foes down to make way for a late game cleaner to sweep up after it. It's defensive typing leaves it with 3 immunities (Including Fighting and Ghost, which it's types are normally weak to), 2 resistances, and a single weakness to Dark. In addition, it combo's well with Chancy on Normal teams, as it has high natural Def, and it doesn't need to worry about Knock Off as long as you get poisoned before your Toxic Orb is removed.
Is it OP?: I don't think so, it's notably weak Sp. Def does leave it vulnerable to any special attacker with neutral STAB, and low speed makes it slower than most Wallbreakers.

Sprite: Dalmatian Granbull
Weight: WIP
Gender: 50/50
Size: WIP
Egg Group(s): Field, Human-Like
Competitive use:
Psychic: A Specially Defensive Claric that has Immunity to Ghost. Pavlove can wall many off the threats that use Shadow Ball or Bug Buzz, as it can be immune to both with Soundproof. It can also support the team with Wish and Heal Bell, or try Soundproof Parish Trapping. It can also be used as a boosting sweeper, and has an advantage over M-Gallade in that it doesn't require the use of a mega stone to be effective. It can Switch into a Special attacker it can wall, and then use that chance to start boosting with one of its many boosting moves.
Normal: As its Cleric Set is outclassed by Chancy, here it is better off as a Bulky Boosting Sweeper, Parish Trapper, or Offensive Tank. It's Simple Hone Claws set is unique in that it can boost the accuracy of Hypnosis and Dynamic Punch, making them 100% and 80% accurate after a boost respectively. Alternatively it can use Bulk Up to boost its weak defense stat, or Calm Mind to make use of its strongest STAB move Boomburst.
Is it OP?: It has a lot of options, and that can make it hard to predict, however, I don't think that any individual set is too much. It's low defense makes if very vulnerable to Dark type moves, especially Knock Off and Pursuit, which are common to see as coverage. Parish Trap relies on Wish for healing, and can't trap the ghost types that Pavlove is basically designed to counter. It's sweeper sets are easily outsped by most offensive Pokemon, not to mention it has low base attacking stats for an offensive 'mon, meaning it really relies on it's boosting moves to be able to apply pressure.

Sprite: Golurk colored Red.
Weight: WIP
Gender: Genderless
Size: WIP
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: A powerful Wall Breaker, Magnarök functions more or less the same on both Fire and Rock teams.
Is it OP?: I don't think so. It's very low speed prevents it from being a Choice Scarf user, and even if it sets up with Rock Polish, it can still be outsped by any choice Scarf user with base 83 speed or higher, meaning that it will have a hard time sweeping against any offensive team. It does get Hard Countered by physically defensive Water/Grounds, which are used very often in both Water and Ground teams, meaning it is very weak in already weak matchups. It's bulk is above par, but it's weaknesses to common attacking types means that it is still easy to force out.

Is it broken?: Rock/Fire has two 4x weaknesses to Ground and Water, exasperating Rock's and Fire's weaknesses to both of them. It's also very large, leaving it vulnerable to Low Kick and Grass Knot, as well as having a weakness to the first.
Pokedex: Infernotitan is the largest fossil Pokemon discovered to date, being almost as long as Wailord and being more than twice as heavy!

Guts is used with a Flame Orb to boost Rangeruff's Attack as well as giving it a powerful STAB Facade. It has a decent physical movepool with Crunch for Ghost-types and Play Rough for Dark-types.
Is it broken?: Normal/Psychic has only two weaknesses but also only one resistance and one immunity, so it doesn't provide much in terms of defense, especially on Psychic teams. It is also walled by Steel-types.
Pokedex: Loyal and intelligent, Rangeruff is a beloved Pokemon that is popular with all kinds of people, from the elderly to the athletes to the police.

Egg Group(s): Field / Amorphous
Competitive use: Ghost teams get a balanced Pokemon with a Ghost immunity and wide movepool, Normal teams benefit from its Fighting immunity. Quatchigo can be an Unaware wall with Roar/Haze and Moonlight or a more offensive threat with Adaptability. It has wide physical and special movepools, including STAB priority in Fake Out and Shadow Sneak, elemental punches and their special counterparts, and Nasty Plot or Hone Claws to set up. It can also use Defog, which helps both teams since Ghost has fewer hazard removers while Staraptor has a Rock weakness.
Is it broken?: Its stats are all rather average, and its offensive stats don't hit hard without boosts. Quatchigo is also slow and strong wallbreakers can bypass Unaware. It still has a Dark weakness which doesn't help Ghost teams.
Pokedex: Many people around the world have reported seeing a tall, bipedal shadow moving through remote forests at night. Only recently was it discovered that the shadows were actually a rare Pokemon, now named Quatchigo.

Ability: Crystal Core
Base Stats: 84 / 134 / 104 / 70 / 84 / 104 (580 BST)
Crystal Core: All damage dealing moves are either physical or special, depending on which stat is highest. If both are the same, moves will be physical. Z-moves and status moves are unaffected. If an attack lowers either attacking stat, it will lower the one used. So a physical Overheat would sharply drop the user's Attack, while a special Superpower would drop Defence and Special Attack.
Useful moves
Physical: Flare Blitz, Stone Edge, Earthquake, Flame Charge
Special: Fire Blast, Overheat, Eruption, Crystal Beam, Hidden Power, Energy Ball
Crystal Beam: 100 BP, Special, Rock Type, 100% accuracy, 10 PP, no secondary effects. Aurora Beam animation. Z Power: 180

Sprite: Misdreavus coloured red
Weight: 97.9 lbs, 44.44 kgs
Size: 3 ft 5 in, 1.06 m
Sprite: Mismagius coloured red
Competetive use: I see Krakatuby as being a very powerful wallbreaker on Rock and Fire teams. On Rock, it can deal with the always annoying Scizor while on Fire it can shred the likes of Mantine and Dragonite. Crystal Core essentially transforms all of your attacks into Photon Geyser, minus the Mold Breaker effect, meaning you've got a physical Rock type that doesn't have to rely on Stone Edge and a physical Fire type that doesn't have to incur recoil (although you could still use Flare Blitz with Firium Z if you need to OHKO Hippowdon). It could theoretically run a variety of sets, ranging from Swords Dance to Choice Band to offensive Stealth Rock and possibly Choice Scarf, though I suspect Terrakion and Blacephalon would be more popular in those roles as they're faster.
Is it broken?: Rock / Fire comes with 2 4X weaknesses to Ground and Water, two types Rock and Fire already struggle with. While base 104 Speed is certainly not bad, it leaves it lagging behind stuff like Mega Pinsir, the latis, Mega Diancie and Mega Gallade.
Gender: None
Egg Group: Undiscoverd
Pokedex: In the Priviosa Region, it is known as one of the 4 sacred treasures. Said to be the living embodiment of Fire, it has the ability to reawaken extinct volcanoes.

Sprite: Kirketune coloured pink
Weight: 3.4 lbs, 1.5 kgs
Size: 1.0 ft, 0.3 m
Competetive use: I asked myself, what doesn't Bug have at the moment? A good cleric, is the answer. With that insanely high base HP (highest of all Bug types in fact) it can pass massive Wishes to its teammates, and thanks to U-turn it's not a momentum sink. Heal Bell also lets it cure its allies of status problems, and it can even be a secondary hazard remover, easing the pressure on Armaldo.
Is it broken?: It is rather passive with its meagre base 77 Attack. It's also weak to all hazards, and pure Bug still isn't the best defensive typing despite having useful resistances to Ground and Fighting.
Gender: All
Egg group: Bug
Pokedex: It draws out toxins from other living organisms to stay alive. Health clinics often breed large amounts of these Pokemon, as there is a limit to how much they can take in.

Speical: N/A (SpA is too low)
Status: Bulk Up, Stealth Rock
Sprite: Typhlosion coloured Pink
Weight: 55.2 lbs, 25 kgs
Size: 3 ft 7 in, 1.13 m
Competetive use: Can serve 2 distinct roles, depening on its ability. With Sugar Rush it can function as a strong wallbreaker, with near unresisted STABs that can threaten defensive teams. With Immunity it can be a good stallbreaker, as it's naturally immune to Toxic.
Is it broken?: Its physical bulk isn't that good, and worse it's very slow. While it has good special bulk, Ground typing gives it weaknesses to common Water, Grass and Ice type moves. It also doesn't have reliable recovery, forcing Bulk Up sets to either forgo coverage with Sleep Talk or stay asleep for 2 turns.
Egg groups: Field
Pokedex: Despite its cute appearance, it is a highly aggressive Pokemon. It raids hives of Combee and steals the honey, completely oblivous to the stings.
Sugar Rush: User's physical attacks gain 50% power (stacks with STAB and other modifiers) when the user is holding Honey

Special: N/A (SpA is too low)
Status: Hone Claws, Taunt, Will-o-Wisp
Tomb Tackle: 120 BP, Ghost, Physical, 100% accuracy, 10 PP, makes contact. Boosted by Tough Claws and Reckless. Z Power: 190
Sprite: Mimikyu coloured light blue
Weight: 46 lbs, 20.86 kgs
Size: 3 ft 0 in, 0.91 m
Competetive use: Artilde can serve 2 distinct roles: either a wallbreaker with Reckless or a revenge killer with Technician boosted Shadow Sneak and Quick attack. With its huge base HP stat, recoil isn't too detrimental either. Its STABs alone have almost perfect neutral coverage, only missing out on Bisharp and Tyranitar, which it can hit with Force Palm. On Normal I think it would most likely be seen running a Technician revenge killer set, as Normal already has Diggersby (Artilde can break Skarmory though), while on Ghost it would just be a strong wallbreaker, as Ghost doesn't have many good wallbreakers.
Is it broken? Its speed is pretty awful, and while it does have STAB priority, there are plenty of faster Pokemon that can easily take a Quick Attack or Shadow Sneak. What's more, while it has impressive base HP its defenses are noticably lacklustre, meaning most strong neutral moves will usually 2HKO it.
Gender: All
Egg group: Human like
Pokedex: It craves love from humans and its fellow Pokemon. Legends say the first was created by a woman unable to have children on her own.

Sprite: Serperior but DESERT
Weight: 0.1 lbs

Competitive Use: Amazing sand abuser or offensive hazard control. Not much can switch into this to stop it from clearing hazards or setting SR. Shore Up is amazing in Sand and out, letting Pixoil keep up its health and tank special moves for the team. Marvel Scale can also be used with Flame orb for a mixed wall, as it can heal burn damage easily.

Pokedex: In ancient times, no one was sure if this Pokemon was just an Illusion. It uses Sand to preserve it's health and boost its attacks.

Competitive Use: Binariint can be used as either an offensive Stakeout to kill things, or a Regenvest user to provide a more bulky pokemon. Normal/Ghost is a great typing offensively and defensively, on normal and ghost teams, so it really depends on what your team needs.
Is it broken?: Although Normal/Ghost is a great typing, Dark types can often give bad matchups for both normal and ghost teams. Binariint also doesn't have amazing stats.

Base stats: 100/90/100/90/100/120 [600 BST]
Useful Moves:
Physical: Flame Charge, Smack Down, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, Bulldoze, Accelerock
Special: Ancient Power, Earth Power, Magma Spit, Hidden Power Grass
Status: Calm Mind, Bulk Up, Will-o-Wisp, Stealth Rock
Magma Spit: Fire-type Frost Breath clone
Sprite: Camerupt but darker red
Weight: 250 kg (550 pounds)
Gender: Genderless
Competitive use: This Pokemon has many uses: it can be a wallbreaker, setup sweeper, and revenge killer, being viable both physically and defensively. It gives both Fire and Rock a fast, offensive option to work with.
Is it broken?: It offers very little useful resistances or immunities: it takes neutral from Grass, but that's about it. In fact, it stacks Ground weaknesses that both Fire and Rock struggle with. Additionally, it has no recovery and is weak to Stealth Rock.

Is it broken?: It offers no useful type coverage, has only one STAB, and its speed tier is lackluster.

Gender: Male/Female
Competitive use: Furfrou can work as a mixed tank or a offensive pivot, with its powerful boosted Hyper Fangs and Psychic Fangs. It gives a neutrality to Fighting for Normal and an immunity to Ghost for Psychic.
Is it broken?: It gives a weakness to Fire attacks, which makes Normal more susceptible to Mega Charizard X and Y, and has bad coverage options.

Gender: Male/Female
Competitive use: Granbull is a powerful attacker with almost unresisted coverage, as well as great physical bulk with Intimidate. It also offers a neutrality to Poison for Fairies.
Is it broken?: It is incredibly slow, meaning that it will have to take a hit before attacking, which wears it down very easily. It doesn't help that its Special Defense is lacking either.

Competitive use: Girafarig is a great addition to both Normal and Ghost teams, offering a Fighting and Ghost immunity, respectively. It has an odd but helpful spread, having great physical bulk while also packing offensive power. Flash Fire is great for checking Volcarona, Mega Charizard, and Victini.
Is it broken?: It stacks a weakness to Dark; while Normal is not weak to Dark, it does not appreciate the higher spammability of Knock Off, since Chansey and Ditto rely on their items for maximum value.

Def: 70
SpA: 90
SpD: 125
Spe: 110
Total: 530
Physical moves: Wrap, Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak, Knock off (Spirsheet is a utility 'mon, so it would mostly use physical attacks for trapping, utility, or to prevent being taunt fodder.)
Special moves: Flamethrower, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball, Hyper Voice ( again, Spirsheet is a utility 'mon, so it would mostly use special attacks to prevent being taunt fodder.)
Status moves: Defog, Will-o-Wisp, Taunt, Destiny Bond, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Perish Song, Encore

Competitive use: Spirsheet can be used as a utility 'mon with magic Guard and Magic Bounce, or as a Perish-Traper to remove dangerous sweepers and walls.
Is it broken?: It has mediocre attacking stats, and despite its good special defense, its poor physical bulk and hp make it a victim to powerful attacks.

This mon looks way too overpowered, basically being a Poison Heal Snorlax that trades a bit of defense for almost unresisted coverage. Why does it matter that its defense isn’t that high when it has Bulk Up? It doesn’t care about speed either, when it can live almost any hit thrown at it. Celesteela can’t do anything to it while it freely sets up and KOs it. This needs a nerf.
Once again, I have Fakemon for all these types (besides one).
