Monotype Gen 8

[ChrystalFalchion]

I'll buff Fabio

New Ability: Majestic ( Special Intimidate clone )
New Move: Energy Ball
New Move: Tail Glow

I'm not completely sold on Tail Glow being balanced; although I suspect that Ampharos-M's 45 base speed combined with the lack of fully defensive teams in monotype will keep it in check. The idea is not to sweep with it, but rather to break a wall that may try to stall you out. Nasty Plot is the other obvious option of course. I'm hoping for feedback on whether TG would be broken or NP would be sufficient.

It would do well against stall teams, however it would struggle somewhat against offensive teams due to low Speed. While Electric can run Sticky Web, as G Luke said Galvantula is poor on those teams so it is quite rare. I think Tail Glow Ampharos is fine.

I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but can I post some sprites for these custom 'mons that I made here?

 

[Scoopapa]

I'm working on an app that can generate pokedex code from a google sheet, something that will be very helpful for this and other mods. Since this mod has a massive number of uncoded fakemons as well as lots of info for each of them ( such as egg groups and weights ), I'm starting with it to develop the app. It's relatively functional so far:

But it's incomplete. There are a few things I need from whoever edits the spreadsheet in order to have it be complete:

Weight: Please only have the number in kg. Delete the lb measurements from the spreadsheet or put them in a different column if you want to keep them.

Egg Groups: These don't effect anything in battle, but you will see them when you type !dt [pokemon name] in the chat. Only add them to the spreadsheet if you care about this.

Also Magmule only has 10 HP on the spreadsheet, which shows in the code above.

( I'm still working on the gender part )

 

[ChrystalFalchion]

I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but can I post some sprites for these custom 'mons that I made here?

Absolutely, knock yourself out.

 

[ChrystalFalchion]

Scoopapa great work with the app, I have removed the pound weights and gone purely kilos instead, and have added Egg Groups too. As I have heard no objections to Pidgeot gaining Focus Blast and Ampharos gaining Tail Glow, Energy Ball and Majestic, those will be implemented.

 

[superstrike66]

Alright, without further ado, here's my sprite for Alolan Venusaur!

Let me know if you need anything changed on this guy.

Fully functional dex entries now, only technically missing height. Up to you if that matters. I'm working on getting the app to do learnsets as well. Whoever else is working on code should focus on the custom moves and abilities, as I should be able to generate the learnsets fairly quickly once I get that working.

Edit: Learnsets:

Minor update - have added analyses of Magmule, Krakatuby, Focus Blast Pidgeot and Tail Glow + Majestic Ampharos to the OP.

Also, questions for you guys - is 5 days enough time to create new Pokemon? Or is 5 a slate too many? If the answer to either of those is yes, what changes do you think would be better?

 

[Brodaha]

Personally I think 5 in 5 days is too many, but I tend to take a long time to do fakemon. I would recommend lowering it to 3-4 in 5 days, but I haven't been super active in this mod so I'd like to hear what others think.

Personally, I think 5 days for a slate is too short. I would at least make it 7 days long, just to make sure everyone is able to find time in their weekly schedule to submit. They were so many times where I wanted to submit but couldn't due to having my free time barely after the deadline. It happened to me in other pet mods, but mostly here.
Another solution I have would be to announce the closure of a slate somewhat 24 hours before, like in some other mods. This way, its way more difficult to be surprised by the deadline than it is right now.

Monotype Gen 8 is incomplete but playable on Dragon Heaven now. Currently missing are the recent pokemon buffs and most of the custom moves and abilities ( aside from the two custom moves of Contrunion ). All the new fakemons can be used, however, just without their custom elements.

All of the new fakemons have been given Hidden Power, Toxic, Substitute, Protect, Rest, and Sleep Talk ( I may have missed other moves that basically everything gets ), despite them not being listed in the submissions in most cases. I think we all assumed that would be the case, but I figured I would mention it.

That's awesome! And as to how long the slates should be, I think they should be a week long. 5 days is just too short.

Okay guys, start making your teams!

I basically finished the code. It's not live yet, but it will be soon and I'll update this post when it goes live.

Edit: It's live on Dragon Heaven! I made a few teams, feel free to challenge me if you see me on there, discord, or just on smogon.

 

[superstrike66]

I'm working on a couple of sprites for my winning 'mons, and I was wondering if I could create the sprites of some other 'mons that I didn't create. If so, can people tell me which ones to work on? I'm very busy right now, but I'll be able to create a few sprites.

 

[Scoopapa]

I suppose whichever become most commonly used would be the best ones to make sprites for first. You are more than welcome to sprite any of mine ( I doubt anyone would object tbh ).

Ok! I was just asking because some people might have a specific design in mind.

I have no problem with you making sprites for any of my mons.

Great job with coding Scoopapa , really appreciate your work. Will make some sample teams tomorrow.

 

[ChrystalFalchion]

Scoopapa and I had a few battles today, and there are several conclusions we drew.

1. Coal Trap, Magmule's signature move, is insane. So we have taken it off Magmule (which would still be great anyway, it's like a mini Primal Groudon) and has been given to Heatmor instead. While the move is still awesome, it also means you have to run Heatmor...which sucks.
2. Contrunion is insane. Sheer Force + Life Orb on a Pokemon with base 142 Speed and base 110 power STABs on both sides meant it could crush almost anything. Yes it has pathetic bulk, but that doesn't matter too much when you outrun virtually all of the unboosted meta. So, it is now slightly slower at base 132 speed, and has Magic Bounce instead of Sheer Force. To compensate, it now has base 112 / 112 attacking stats and Nasty Plot.
3. With several very strong new Pokemon, Fire is looking like a great type in this meta.

Also, the OP has been updated with a new viability ranking, the analyses of Magmule and Contrunion have also been updated, and we have some sample teams. Stay tuned - next week I will be starting a tournament!

Edit: So after some playtesting I have some nominations for the VR. Do you agree?

Magmule: S Rank on Fire
It provides an incredibly useful Water immunity, has fantastic physical bulk, and is one of the best Stealth Rock setters Fire teams have. STAB Earth Power also lets it check Rock teams.
Pumpkindle: S Rank on Fire
Take Torkoal, remove Stealth Rock and some physical bulk, give it better defensive typing and reliable recovery, and you've got Pumpkindle.
Torkoal: S Rank to Unranked
Why would you use this over Pumpkindle?

Krakatuby: S on Rock
Remember when Steel easily beat Rock? Not anymore. Krakatuby is a menace that is nigh impossible to switch into, and Crystal Beam is so spammable.
Rockatrice: A on Rock
Rock struggles to find good hazard control, and Rockatrice gives it a Defogger which doesn't care about hazards thanks to Magic Guard. It also has access to a recoil free Brave Bird, which helps against Fighting teams.

I really still think Coal Trap is broken, and just not fun in general. It accomplishes way too much in one turn, it doesn't just help like other hazards do, it wins the moment it's up. Sure, there are ways to deal with it, but it's a big strain on teambuilding. As far as I understand it, a lot of monotype teams (offensive ones) don't worry about hazard removal atm. Now any team like that is invalid. We should be trying to avoid adding centralizing elements that you have to know about and prepare for to not autolose, if we ever want new players to learn the meta.

The tournament is now up! Click here. Also Scoopapa you'll be happy to hear Coal Trap has been banned from the tournament. It is way stronger than I originally thought it would be, as many types don't have a viable grounded Fire type and hyper offensive teams often don't have space for dedicated hazard control.

Here are the sprites for Lupina and Spirisheet!

OK everyone, in time for the start of the tournament I've started filling out the new VR. If there is anything you disagree with, please let me know. Do note that I haven't had time to test all the new Pokemon.

Bug

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Burrobee to A (possibly S) - great speed and high Special Attack, also helps out a lot in the Rock and Fire matchups. Can also set Stealth Rock, giving Armaldo another moveslot

Araquanid - up to S. Again, Bug needs all the help it can get against the rising Fire.

Mega Scizor - down to B. Pinsir is usually the better choice for the mega slot, and regular Scizor can hit harder with Life Orb or Band

B Rank

Clawcroach to B (maybe A) - I ran an SD + 3 Attacks set with Compoundeyes and Rockium Z, it's a good wallbreaker that can lure and kill a lot of stuff that would otherwise expect to wall it like Celesteela and Toxapex. With Sticky Web down it outruns the unboosted grounded metagame.

Forretress - down to C (maybe D). Armaldo is just way better, all it really has over it is Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

C Rank

Temprasect to C - really wishes it was faster, physical sets can't scratch Skarmory and Celesteela, special sets are genearlly outclassed by Volcarona

Shuckle - down to D. Massive momentum sink, Galvantula and Araquanid are far better Web setters. Unless you really need webs and rocks on the same mon, don't use it.

D Rank

No Change

Dark

Hide

S Rank

No changes

A Rank

Thunderusa to A - Really strong wallbreaker, STABs alone have fantastic neutral coverage

B Rank

Krookodile up to A - hyper offensive Dark is very threatening in this meta, and Krookodile is the best hazard setter for that
Lupina to B - Nice stallbreaker, really wishes it had Psychic Fangs though

C Rank

Mega Sharpedo to B (maybe A) - As I know from experience, it can actually sweep Fighting teams with Strong Jaw boosted Psychic Fangs. For HO Dark I would say it's as good as Mega Tyranitar, maybe better.

D Rank

No changes

Dragon

Hide

S Rank

Latios to A - While it does offer a joint Defogger / revenge killer, that role compression just isn't as valubale. Mega Altaria can also provide Defog support. Doesn't really help Dragon out in any tough matchups.

A Rank

Gryphoid to A - very solid Fairy check, also a nice status shuffler with Thunder Wave, Toxic and either Dragon Tail or Roar.
Basilom to A - Also greatly helps in the Fairy matchup, as nothing on a Fairy team bar Klefki wants to take a STAB Gunk Shot from this thing. Dragon Dance set is a great lategame cleaner.
Kommo-O to B - helps in the Steel matchup, but costs your Z crystal and also comes with a nasty 4X Fairy weakness

B rank

Temprasect to B - Quiver Dance set is a nice wallbreaker, as it can take out Celesteela and Skarmory with Fiery Dance for Basilom and Mega Altaria

C Rank

Dragalge to D - unless you really need Toxic Spikes, use Basilom

D Rank

No changes

Electric

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Electrolyte to A (maybe S) - Checks a lot of Pokemon Electric teams hate like Ferrothorn. Also provides some much needed hazard control, greatly helping Sticky Web Electric.
Electivire-Mega to A - IMO the best mega on Electric teams. Functions a lot like AoA Mega Mawile in OU, thanks to its awesome coverage and Iron Fist. Has very few safew switchins.
Magnezone down to B - with Mega Electivire, the Steel matchup is notably easier as only Excadrill gives it problems. Therefore, dedicated Steel trappers aren't as useful. Golem-A stays, as it's the best Stealth Rock setter Electric has.

B Rank

Mega Manectric to C - Electivire is a more useful Mega, and as a fast pivot all it really has over Tapu Koko is Intimidate and Fire coverage
Thunderusa to B (maybe A) - Gives Electric both STAB priority and a Pursuit trapper, 2 things it previously lacked.

C Rank

Galvantula up to B (maybe A) - Sticky Web Electric is looking very threatening, as Electric teams usually do well against most Defoggers.

D Rank

Mega Ampharos up to C (maybe B) - Tail Glow absolutely shreds stall, it can also OHKO Pokemon Xurkitree never could, like Ferrothorn, Mega Venusaur, Mega Steelix. Can also run a pivot set with Majestic.
Raikou to unranked - why would you use this thing? Thundurus(T) is just straight up better.

Fairy

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Pixoil to A (maybe S) - Great Stealth Rock setter that really helps against Steel and Poison.
Vivifire to A - Eases pressure on Klefki as a Steel check. Also provides hazard control
Klefki down to B - Vivifire checks Steel types better. Priority Spikes and Screens are still helpful though
Mimikyu down to B - Average Attack stat backed by weak STABs, it just isn't that good. Other Pokemon need the Z crystal more
Angealous to A - Great Speed and Sheer Force with awesome coverage, it's a great late game cleaner

B Rank

Ribombee up to A - Sticky Web can be very effective, and Ribombee naturally scares out Mega Sableye.
Togekiss down to C - Scarf set is outrun by Mega Aero and the Babiri set is just not very good. Vivifire checks Grass teams better.
Jerbola to B - Much quicker than Azumarill, however it's frail and struggles with Steel types.

C Rank

No change

D Rank

Gardevoir down to Unranked - Why would you use this thing? Togekiss is a better Scarf mon, Mega Diancie and Pixoil check Poison teams better.

Fire

Hide

S Rank

Torkoal down to D Rank - with Punpkindle able to set up sun and provide hazard, there's little reason to use Torkoal.
Punpkindle to S - Drought, Rapid Spin and a Rock / Water / Ground check all in one? Yes please.
Magmule to S - Best Stealth Rock setter on Fire, also checks Water types well with Dry Skin

A Rank

Infernape down to B - being a fast physical attacker is no longer unique - Contrunion and Krakatuby both do that too
Rotom-H down to B - it's a decent Screen setter, but Pumpkindle and Contrunion both provide hazard control while Magmule checks Water
Krakatuby to A - Massive Attack, good Speed, almost nothing can safely switch into this thing. If it gets in safely, you're in trouble.
Contrunion to A - Solar Power set hits like a truck, Swords Dance set honestly isn't that good on Fire. Great Speed also helps.
Vivifire to A - gives Fire a cleric that can also hold its own offensively. Dual Screens is its best set IMO, but it's a versatile mon.

B Rank

Victini down to C - Krakatuby hits much harder than Victini and is a little bit faster. Victini has better bulk and better defensive typing, but that's pretty much it.

C Rank

No Change

D Rank

No Change

Fighting

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Heracross down to B (maybe C) - Souldier just straight up outclasses it as a Scarf mon, as it's faster and has better coverage.
Angealous to A - CM + 3 Attacks is a great wallbreaker / late game cleaner, Defog is also extremely helpful as Fighting teams don't have many good hazard removers
Souldier to A - Scarf set is a great revenge killer and late game cleaner thanks to perfect neutral coverage with its STABs.

B Rank

Breloom down to C - too slow, too frail, and really wishes it could run 2 items. Without Focus Sash it dies too quickly, without Life Orb it misses key KOs.
Buzzwole down to C - as a Scarfer it's outclassed by Heracross, which in turn is outclassed by Souldier. You could try a defensive set I guess, but its typing isn't the best

C Rank

Lucario up to B - SD + Bullet Punch is effective in the Fairy matchup, as it can revenge kill threatening Pokemon like Mega Diancie, Angealous and weakened Mimikyu.

D Rank

No Change
Termight to D - it's just so damn slow, it worsens the matchup with Flying which Fighting already struggles with. Prankster Hypnosis sounds nice but in reality it's just too unreliable.

Flying

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Rockatrice to A - a great offensive Defogger, Magic Guard gives Flying a Defogger which is completely immune to hazards. Frees up Zapdos and Gliscor to run other moves instead.

Landorus-I to A - great special wallbreaker that packs a handy rock neutrality and electric immunity.

B Rank

Tornadus-T to C - as a fast Defogger, Rockatrice is generally superior as it's immune to the Rocks it aims to remove. Tornadus-T also doesn't offer much defensive synergy either.

C Rank

Hawlucha to D Rank - It can't use Terrain seeds like it can in OU (well not reliably at least) meaning it has to use Sub and Berries. Gliscor and the Landorus formes contribute more to the Steel and Rock matchups.
Mega Pidgeot to C Rank - No Guard Hurricane and Focus Blast is very helpful, although between M-Aero's epic Speed and Charizard Y's massive power, it is hard to justify.

D Rank

Mandibuzz to Unranked - why would you use this thing? Skarmory and Gliscor can do its job way better.

Grass

Hide

S rank

Pumpkindle to S - All on its own it makes offensive Grass possible as with Drought and its powerful Fire STABs. Also provides a welcome Fire immunity thanks to Flash Fire

A Rank

Venusaur-Alola to A - great check to Fire types, and is overall much less passive than Cradily. Does mean you can't use Mega Venusaur though.
Cradily down to B - Venusaur-Alola tends to be a better Rock / Grass type, so really you'd only use this if you want to use Mega Venusaur

B Rank

Celebi up to A - Nasty Plot + Psychium Z can do a lot in the Poison matchup once Muk-A's gone (even so, doesn't like taking a +2 Earth Power).

C Rank

Serperior up to B (maybe A) - great late game sweeper, hits like a truck under Grassy Terrain, Glare is awesome and it can even Defog (although there's better options).
Gourgeist Super down to D - It's just...really bad. SubSeed stalling is all it can do, and honestly it's not even especially good at that. While Harvest + Sun might seem great, in reality it just means Gourgeist gets hit harder by Fire moves.

D Rank

No Change

Ground

Hide

S Rank

No Change

A Rank

Burrobee to A - hits like a truck in a Sandstorm, also helps in the Grass matchup
Gastrodon down to B - better bulk and reliable recovery do seperate it from Seismitoad, but it's extremely passive and Ground teams tend to be offensive.

B Rank

Magmule to B - Helps in the Grass matchup, also packs a Water immunity. Slow and has no reliable recovery though.

C Rank

Krookodile down to D - Landours-T is a better Scarf mon, Pursuit trapping isn't especially useful
Pixoil to C (possibly B) - It's a decent tank, wishes it had Heal Bell or Aromatherapy though.

D Rank

Scorpoid to D - If you really need Toxic Spikes...use Nidoking. It's faster but that's about it really.
Mega Camerupt to Unranked - Magmule trades power for much more utility and not filling the mega slot

 

[G-Luke]

Every mon i made is an S rank candidate *dabs*

 

[ChrystalFalchion]

Just an idea I wanted to float with you guys: for Pokemon getting buffed, what do you think about the possibility of giving them moves from Let's Go? Like you could give Incineroar Sizzly Slide and Salamence Floaty Fall?
