Name: Woolefant
Prompt: Woolly Mammoth
Typing:
Abilities: Tangling Hair / Overcoat | Sand Force
Stats: 100 / 75 / 95 / 95 / 70 / 76 [511 BST]
Notable Moves:
Body Press, Knock Off, Trailblaze
Draining Kiss, Earth Power, Meteor Beam, Moonblast, Mystical Fire, Scorching Sands
Calm Mind, Roar, Slack Off, Stealth Rock, Spikes
Role: Special wallbreakers basically don't exist right now outside of a handful of Ghosts and Combysa, so Woolefant provides a new option for offensive/balance teams to consider running. Offensive Calm Mind sets are entirely unwallable in the current meta outside of Cradily, making Woolefant extremely strong into bulkier teams, but its bad speed tier and litany of weaknesses leave it easily revenged by faster offensive mons or outpaced by pivot-heavy teams. Tangling Hair, however, does give it an out into certain offensive mons, making Woolefant a solid check to Alticombat and Archeops.Ancient Power, Assurance, Attract, Block, Body Press, Body Slam, Brutal Swing, Bulldoze, Calm Mind, Charm, Curse, Dazzling Gleam, Defense Curl, Dig, Double-Edge, Draining Kiss, Earth Power, Earthquake, Facade, Fissure, Flail, Giga Impact, Gravity, Growl, Head Smash, Headbutt, Heavy Slam, Helping Hand, High Horsepower, Horn Attack, Hyper Beam, Iron Head, Knock Off, Magic Room, Magnitude, Meteor Beam, Misty Explosion, Moonblast, Mud Shot, Mud-Slap, Mystical Fire, Natural Gift, Play Rough, Power Gem, Protect, Psych Up, Psychic, Psyshock, Rest, Roar, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rototiller, Sand Attack, Sand Tomb, Sandstorm, Scorching Sands, Skill Swap, Slack Off, Slam, Sleep Talk, Smack Down, Snowscape, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Stomping Tantrum, Stone Edge, Substitute, Superpower, Tackle, Take Down, Tera Blast, Throat Chop, Thunder Fang, Trailblaze, Water Gun
Flavor: We already have one mammoth with Eleffigy, so I wanted to lean hard into the "woolly" aspect of this mon's design in order to differentiate it.
Name: Felice
Prompt: Smilodon
Typing:
Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Technician | Slush Rush
Stats: 75 / 80 / 80 / 105 / 70 / 112 [ BST]

Close Combat, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Thunder Fang

Felice provides a fast, special attacking Ice type that can threaten the Ice resists Salazzle loses to (Drednaw, Lapras), while losing to the ones it beats (Kabutops, Arctobyss, Cradily, etc.). Felice has much more immediate power than Salazzle, with Technician Frost Breath hitting like a truck, forcing teams to run actual Ice resists to beat it. However, those Ice resists check Felice much better than they answer Salazzle, as Salazzle's combination of Nasty Plot and Freeze-Dry beat pretty much every Felice answer in the meta. This will allow Salazzle and Felice to actually be run on the same team, as they beat each other's counterplay pretty effectively, and Felice's worse matchups into actual Ice resists will stop it from outclassing Salazzle completely despite its better overall damage output.Chi Shift: 60 BP Special Fighting, 15 PP, 100% Acc. Swaps all changes to the target's Attack and Special Attack stats.
Flavor: Ice cat go prrrr
All of these are far too offensively potent for the meta, and will need major toning down.
Name: Combuscobble (Combust + Cobble)
Original Pokemon: Gouging Fire
Typing: Fire/Rock
Abilities: Strong Jaw/Stone Crown
Stats: 74/100/115/76/54/81 (500)This pokemon's rock type moves use its defense stat instead of attack when calculating damage - like body press
New Moves: Mountain Maw (from chatbats), Rock Slide, Will-O-Wisp, Ice Fang, Jaw Lock, Iron Defense, Bulk Up, Clear Smog
Removed Moves: (all dragon moves except scale shot), Burning Bulwark
Role: Set-Up sweeper with Bulk Up or Iron Defense + Stone Crown. Fire Rock is an alright typing, ground and water are decently common typings, although it does resist more typings than it's weak to - though the typings it resists aren't as common as the one's it's weak to. It has alright stats, with high defense but kinda low special defense and hp. It's also a kinda middle speed tier, maybe could work pretty good with scarf. Strong jaw lets it deal pretty high damage with STAB mountain maw and fire fang, as well as with coverage like thunder fang, ice fang and psychic fangs. Stone Crown I'm not fully sure is balanced, I think iron defense/bulk up with the ability is fine.
Flavor: The large shield on its head is an extremely durable extension of its rock hard skeleton, and it uses it to ram into its foes - dealing high damage. Its teeth, too, are made of hard rock - which helps it rip and rend prey.
Name: Nimbusaur (Nimbus + Dinosaur)
Original Pokemon: Raging Bolt
Typing: Electric/Flying
Abilities: Cloud Nine/Lightning Rod (I am considering replacing cloud nine with delta stream)
Stats: 42/49/95/120/79/115 (500)
New Moves: Furious Thunderhead, Tailwind, Hurricane, Air Slash, Splishy Splash
Removed Moves: (all dragon moves), Thunderclap, Earthquake, Heavy Slam, Sunny Day
Role: Glass cannon who can also do a tiny bit of speed control utility with tailwind and t-wave, plus can set up with calm mind I guess.80Bp, Flying, Sp, 90Acc, 8PP, 30% chance to cause paralysis, upon being used for the second time or more on the same pokemon, becomes electric and deals 1.5x damage.
Flavor: In ancient times it floated around atop grey clouds, and was known to bicker with aerodactyl.
Name: Pristineuro (Pristine + Neuro)
Original Pokemon: Walking Wake
Typing: Water/Psychic
Abilities: Drizzle/Neuroforce
Stats: 94/100/81/40/90/93 (500)
New Moves: Ice Spinner, Psychic, Psyshock, Calm Mind, Psychic Fangs, Scale Shot, Lunge, Pounce, Wave Crash
Removed Moves: (all fire moves), Breaking Swipe, Dragon Breath, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Cheer, Hydro-Steam, Scald
Role: This pet mod doesn't have many good rain setters (I don't think there's a single mon with drizzle, actually), despite there being some good swift swim mons and a lot of good mons who could work as good rain abusers. After a dragon dance this mon can start firing off powerful psychic fangs and wave crashes.
Flavor: Its mind is extremely large, and it can infuse its psychic strength into its attacks. It can use its psychic strength to harness the weather from the skies themselves, bringing down rain around it.
Please list the effect of Mountain Maw in your submission. Splishy Splash is dexited and therefore cannot be distributed. However, you can submit it as a custom with the same effect (which gives you more room to edit the flavor).You know what move this one needs. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Arm_Thrust_(move)
Name: Nimbustrike (Nimbus + Strike, as in to hit something but also as in a strike of lightning.)
Original Pokemon: Raging Bolt
Typing: Electric/Fighting
Abilities: Thunder strike/Primordial Sea
Stats: 135 HP/159 Atk/91 Def/70 Sp Atk/60 Sp Def/135 Spe
Thunder Strike: All electric type and fighting type moves gain a chance to flinch (30%, like if they could hold three king’s rocks at once.)
New Moves: All punch moves, Volt Tackle, Close Combat, High Horsepower
Removed Moves: All dragon type moves, Sunny Day
Role: Fast, powerful physical disruption with sub-par defenses. I’m also sort of treating these as the true, strongest forms of the paradox Pokemon, so it outdoes raging bolt in BST and switches its role.
Flavor: Instead of Lugia, this past version of Raikou was created by Kyogre to bring thunder to its rains.
Name: Frigiflare (Frigid + Flare. If I were doing normal paradox names it would have been called Frigid Flare.)
Original Pokemon: Walking Wake
Typing: Water/Fire
Abilities: Chilling Wave/Desolate Land
Stats: 95/85/70/175/70/155
Chilling Wave: All ice type moves gain STAB. Water type moves can become ice type if ice moves would be more effective. Water is prioritized over ice, and the type is chosen before any state changes.
New Moves: Ice Beam, Blizzard, Fire Blast, Mystical Fire, Weather Ball, Heat Wave, Chilling Water
Removed Moves: Breaking Swipe, Outrage, Draco Meteor
(Note: Hydro Steam will need to be changed to ignore Desolate Land.)
Role: Fast, powerful physical disruption with sub-par defenses.
Flavor: Instead of Lugia, this past version of Suicune was created by Groundon to bring the steam that took the water from the earth.
Name: Pureoasting (Pure + Roast + Sting)
Original Pokemon: Raging Bolt
Typing: Fire/Fairy
Abilities: Purifying Ash/Delta Stream
Stats: 150/170/110/60/100/40
Purifying Ash: All fire type moves have a 20% chance to lower all of the target’s raised stats by 2, capping at neutral.
New Moves: Play Rough, Spirit Break, Dazzling Gleam, Sacred Fire, Crunch, Stone Edge, Iron Head
Removed Moves: All dragon type moves, Flame Charge, Sunny Day
Role: Slow, powerful, bulky sweeper who thrives in Trick Room.
Flavor: Instead of Lugia, this past version of Entei was created by Raquaza to quell fury as it quelled the weather.
This is far too offensively potent for the meta. 159 Attack is ridiculously high, especially when paired with 135 Speed (making this the fastest mon in the meta) and STABs as explosive as Volt Tackle and Close Combat. Additionally, Thunder Strike is vetoed wholesale - flinch is an uncompetitive mechanic, and I refuse to allow such an optimized flinch spammer into the meta. This mon's offenses need to be lowered drastically and the custom ability needs to be reworked entirely. Additionally, you can't just say "all punch moves" in your submission's added moves - it gives me a ton of extra work as the coder because I'm forced to go and look up all of the punch moves (and to wonder if you meant to include moves like Rage Fist). Please list exactly which punch moves you want the mon to learn. Similar to Nimbustrike, this mon's offenses are way too high. 175/155 is nearly double most of the meta special attackers' offenses, and that's without even mentioning the absurd base power of Desolate Land-boosted STABs. Desolate Land will likely always be broken on a Water/Fire type with Hydro Steam, so I recommend removing it entirely and focusing on your custom ability, along with lowering the offenses drastically. Similar to the other two, this mon's stats are just way too high. 170 Attack is about 50 points higher than even the strongest physical attackers in the meta, and 150/110/100 bulk is just far too much on a Fire/Fairy type with reliable recovery. Additionally, this part isn't a veto, but Purifying Ash is very undertuned as an ability and will likely not be run over Delta Stream, which makes me question if it's even necessary to have the custom at all.
