Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
+ Synthesis, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Knock Off
- All Water and Ice moves
Height: tall. will actually complete this part if it wins Flavor / Explanation: Lapras is based of the Lochness monster, this is based off of long-necked dinosaurs and dinosaurs with shells or armor, such as the Brachiosaurus and Ankylosaurus, which are kind of like the land version of the Lochness monster (at least in appearance). Classified as the Carrier Pokemon. Competitive Role: Bulky boy. Should be able to at least check Soaperior and Starizard and provides some really nice Grass type utility especially with Natural Cure. It’s a bit passive which should balance it out though.
Original Pokemon: Durant New Pokemon: Furant Type:
Abilities: Fur Coat | Fluffy (HA) Stats: 58 / 99 / 58 / 78 / 132 / 59 [BST: 484] Weight: 4.1 kg Movepool Changes: + Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Double-Edge, Extreme Speed, Draining Fur, Knock Off, Leaf Blade, Outrage, Quick Attack, Rapid Spin, Scale Shot, Solar Beam, Solar Blade, Stealth Rock, U-turn

Type:
Category:
Base Power: 50 Accuracy: 100% PP: 16 Effects: User uses SpD as SpA stat in damage calculation. It heals 75% of the damage dealt.
Height: 0.2 m Flavor / Explanation: Furred Insect Pokemon. When Furant was newly born, its face was painted in a pattern unique to the hill it is in; to differentiate it from the Furant from another hill. Furant will always fight against the other of its kind from another hill. The winner will get all the resources, but the loser will be eliminated. Competitive Role: A slow defensive mon with some utilities in Knock Off, Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock with a not so reliable recovery.
Congratulations to the winners! The voting was very close, especially for Gen 1-3. We'll post Slate 3 in a few hours! mainly because everyone else in the council is possibly asleep/busy rn and i do not have the balls to post yet— But for now, post your thoughts and discussions about the Pokémon and metagame either here or on the Discord server which is in the OP. And again, thank you for all the activity this mod's been getting. All of the subs have been really great and we hope to see more to make this a fun meta! ^^
I have a feeling this is gonna be the premiere defensive Pokemon, at least for a while, very solid mon.
Flying is unresisted rn so Specs sets with this mon are gonna go hard.
Very good utility mon, rn it looks like it doesn't have many great MUs, but hey, it gets Spin, U-Turn, Knock Offs, Rocks and Extreme Speed so it's probably gonna find a place regardless.
Fastest mon in the tier with absolutely nuclear Water STAB and Coil is gonna be pretty good, though do watch out for Sapras.
Idk what to say about Zard but it's probably good. Doesn't look very easy to switch in on (especially Psychic STAB) and coupled with Analytic this looks pretty threatening as a breaker.
Dunno, it has superb typing but until we get more shit idt this is gonna take off.
Watch this be outdated in like 3 seconds bc im basing my opinions on a meta with literally 6 mons.
Seems to be blanked by Steels and might affect its overall usefulness, but I expect it to be a somewhat decent utility Pokémon until the metagame is flushed out further.
Weird Pokémon. It has meh bulk all things considered, and is painfully passive without offensive investment. Access to Knock Off + U-turn is pretty nice though, since we all know the usefulness of aslow pivot + item removal. Time will tell if it can be a consistent Rapid Spinner but I expect Spinblockers to be it's most consistent countermeasure. Draining Fur is the worst move of all time, never use it.
Edit: This thing has STAB Extreme Speed and Close Combat defensive Pokémon my ass LMAOOO, run CB and predict Knock Off on the Ghosts.
Orthworm: I agree with my fellow Smogon user above, I am not sure how good this Pokémon will be, considering all of Dragon's good resists lie on the special department. Seems like much worse Tank Chomp, and the metagame already seems to be shaping up for stronger threats.
I apologize that this took a bit of time, but here is slate 3!
Slate 3: Regional Revolution

Typing: Rock
Power: 90
Category: Special
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
Sound Move?: Yes
Description: No additional effect.
Height: 1.4 m Flavor / Explanation:
"This Pokemon is extremely social. It communicates with others of its species using an elaborate language. This language hasn't been deciphered yet."
"It is often seen breaking open the rocks it eats using its powerful voice. A Ruk's voice is so powerful, there has been many cases of a small group of them creating avalanches using only their voice."
Punk rock Muk, pretty simple. Pre-evo is called Humer. Competitive Role: Tank with a somewhat unique typing and solid offenses. Keeps Sludge Bomb/Wave so it isn't walled by fairies.
Original Pokemon: Slowbro New Pokemon: Glowbro Type: Electric/Poison Abilities: Own Tempo / Quick Draw | Regenerator Stats: 95/70/95/120/80/30 Weight: 65.2 kg Movepool Changes (Based on Slowbro-Galar): Cannon Bolt, Charge, Charge Beam, Electric Terrain, Shock Wave, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Thundershock, Zap Cannon.

PP: 5
Description: After using this move, the user's Defense and Special Defense stats are lowered by 1 stage.

"Glowpoke evolves into Glowbro when bitten by an Eelektric. The electricity caused by the bite flows through its entire body, making it more aggressive and aware of its surroundings."
"This Pokemon has extreme precision, and it is often seen shooting targets several miles away from its location. The Eelektric it possesses in its hand is often featured in sci-fi movies."
Laser gun Slowbro, based on the pun often used for Galarian Slowbro's name. Pre-evo is called Glowpoke. Competitive Role: Strong Trick Room attacker with insane coverage.
(bad at spriting so a simple recolor atm) New Pokemon: Fweezing Original Pokemon: Weezing Type:
Abilities: Levitate / Slush Rush / Thermal Exchange Stats: 65/120/85/60/70/90 (BST: 490) Weight: Unchanged Movepool Changes:
+ Mountain Gale, Defog, Recover, Chilly Reception, Psychic Fangs, Thunder Fang, Ice Shard, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Ice Fang, Icicle Crash
- all Poison moves except Clear Smog, all Fire moves except Will-O-Wisp Flavor Explanation: has an ice-like body (think cryogonal). instead of noxious fumes, it emits really cold air. Competitive Role: physical wallbreaker that can pivot with Chilly Reception. Slush Rush is interesting right now because there isn't a Snow Warning pokemon at the moment, so the best way to set Hail is with your own Chilly Reception which switches you out.
Original Pokemon: Slowbro New Pokemon: Lowbra (Cobra + corruption of libra) Type: Steel/Dragon Abilities: Heavy Metal (Regenerator) Stats: 95 / 75 / 80 / 100 / 90 / 50 (490 BST) Weight: 200Kg Movepool Changes:
- All Water and Psychic-type moves
+ Iron Head, Heavy Slam, Flash Cannon, Steel Beam, Gyro Ball, Metal Claw, Doom Desire, Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Dragon Rage, Dragon Pulse, Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw, Dragon Breath Competitive Role: Gotta add more fatmons, does wall duties and can act as a bulky pivot with RegenVest that supports its team with Doom Desire and Volt Switch, or alternatively go for a surprise wallbreaker role with Steel Beam and decent longevity with Regen to potentially try again on the battle without much issue, that's further supported by its surprisingly good coverage.
Original Pokemon: Raichu-Alola because it is closer than the original design-wise
New Pokemon: R’atchoo (just Atchoo)
Type: Ice/Psychic
Abilities: Slush Rush/Forecast (Refrigerate)
Stats: 45 / 80 / 50 / 100 / 130 / 80 (485 BST)
Weight: 20Kg
Movepool Changes:
- Agility, Body Slam, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Trailblaze
+ Powder Snow, Frost Breath, Explosion, Chilling Water, Snipe Shot, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Icicle Crash, Icicle Spear, Triple Axel, Ice Shard, Hail, Chilly Réception Competitive Role: A cool Snow abuser, can also use a LO maybe breaker with Refrigerate and a surprise Explosion on Blissey.
Flavor: So it’s Raichu with a Flu. Don’t wonder of why it got Snipe Shot. It floats on his cover. Looks like the little Beartic.
Please add Fweezing.
Sad I can’t use Alolan, it looks way more like what I wanted.
Original Pokemon: Clodsire
New Pokemon: Cods’sire (Lord of Cods)
Type: Water/Poison
Abilities: Schooling, Prankster
Stats: 90/53/85/40/80/97 (430 BST)
School: 90/150/85/130/80/70 (580 BST)
Weight: 100Kg/1.2Tons
Movepool Changes:
- Stealth Rock
+ Taunt, Ice Beam, Ice Fang Competitive Role: Two roles, a slow breaker or a Fast hazards setter.
Flavor: So it’s a lot of little Woopers with fins and lateral gills, that fuse.
- Although the categories of this slate were chosen because these Pokemon have had regional forms, the name typo will be based on the original form (it will not include the region name).
Original Pokemon: Sandslash New Pokemon: Candylash Type: Fairy Abilities: Sweet Veil/Pixilate Stats: 55/100/50/95/45/105 (Total: 450) Weight: 40 lbs Movepool Changes:
+: Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss, Misty Terrain, Moonblast, Play Rough, Echoed Voice, Extreme Speed
-: Sand Attack, Sand Tomb, Earthquake, Dig, Gyro Ball, Rock Slide, Sandstorm, Rock Tomb, Mud Shot, Bulldoze, Stomping Tantrum, Earth Power
Flavor / Explanation: This Pokemon is made from hard sweets. It lures would-be predators in by disguising itself as a tasty snack, and bites back with its sharp claws, which are honed on rocks. Competitive Role: Candylash can be a moderately powerful attacker in both physical and special means, and could be mixed if it so desired. It can also be used as a Spinner, which is not blocked by Ghost types due to Pixilate. However, its awful bulk means that it has to be careful on what it chooses as its target.
Original Pokemon: Braviary New Pokemon: Wavyary Type: Water Abilities: Hydration/Torrent Stats: 80/87/55/123/85/80 (Total: 510) Weight: 70 lbs Movepool Changes:
+: Aqua Jet, Aqua Cutter, Aqua Ring, Aqua Tail, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Dive, Flip Turn, Hydro Pump, Liquidation, Soak, Surf, Water Pulse, Water Spout, Wave Crash, Whirlpool, Nasty Plot
-: Sky Attack, Peck, Wing Attack, Air Slash, Aerial Ace, Tailwind, Acrobatics, Air Cutter, Fly, Hurricane, Brave Bird, Roost, Facade, Crush Claw, Hyper Beam
Flavor / Explanation: A mass of water that looks like a bird when on the surface. Since it blends in with the water, it can sneak up on prey and rip them to shreds with its own waves. Competitive Role: Mainly a special sweeper using Nasty Plot and Hydro Pump/Surf.
Original Pokémon: Golem New Pokémon: Ballem Stats: 80 HP / 120 Atk / 65 Def / 55 SpA / 100 SpD / 75 Spe / 495 BST Typing:
Abilities: Magic Bounce / Ball Fetch | Receiver Weight: 6.0 kg Movepool Changes: + Assurance, Dark Pulse, Embargo, Knock Off, Pursuit, Pyro Ball, Quash, Slam Dunk, Snarl, Snatch, Swords Dance, Switcheroo, Taunt, Thief, Throat Chop, Torment
Type:
Category:
Base Power: 120 Accuracy: 100 PP: 5 Effect: This move can hit a target using Bounce, Fly, or Sky Drop, or is under the effect of Sky Drop. If this move hits a target under the effect of Bounce, Fly, Magnet Rise, or Telekinesis, the effect ends. If the target is a Flying type that has not used Roost this turn or a Pokemon with the Levitate Ability, it loses its immunity to Ground-type attacks and the Arena Trap Ability as long as it remains active. During the effect, Magnet Rise fails for the target and Telekinesis fails against the target.
(Smack Down's effect) Priority: 0 Flags: Contact, Protect, Mirror
- Ancient Power, Autotomize, Earth Power, Fissure, Fury Cutter, Magnitude, Mud Sport, Rock Polish, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Sandstorm, Stone Edge Role: Tank with high Atk and great coverage. Typing and special bulk allows it to be an effective Pursuit trapper capable of removing Starizard and Smoninja. SD and Sucker lets it sweep; while Explosion, Taunt and Rocks lets it pull off a suicide lead set (helped immensely by MBounce stopping opposing hazards and Taunt). Switcheroo is nice if Scarf becomes a thing. Height: 1.4 m Flavor: he ballin
Original Pokémon: Mr. Rime New Pokémon: Dr. Rime Stats: 80 HP / 85 Atk / 85 Def / 110 SpA / 110 SpD / 50 Spe / 520 BST Typing:
Abilities: Healer / Screen Cleaner | Poison Heal Weight: 64.2 kg Movepool Changes: + Discharge, Eerie Impulse, Electric Terrain, Electro Ball, Electroweb, Hyper Voice, Mystical Fire, Parabolic Charge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Spark, Thunder Punch, Thunder Shock, Volt Switch, Wild Charge - Avalanche, Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Ice Beam, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, Expanding Force, Future Sight, Guard Swap, Triple Axel, Magic Coat, Misty Terrain, Power Split, Power Swap, Psybeam, Psychic Terrain, Teleport Role: Fat Electric. Comfortably switches into Smoninja while being able to check Soaperior. Tons of longevity thanks to PHeal and Slack Off. Has neat coverage options. Poison moves are mostly flavor but Sludge Bomb can be used to hit Sapras harder. Can be a bulky sweeper with NP or provide hazard removal with Rapid Spin. Height: 1.5 m Flavor: mr. rime went to med school
Original Pokémon: Clodsire New Pokémon: Bodsire Stats: 130 HP / 110 Atk / 100 Def / 35 SpA / 35 SpD / 20 Spe / 430 BST Typing:
Abilities: Guts / Unnerve | Unaware Weight: 336.6 kg Movepool Changes: + Brick Break, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Dynamic Punch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Ice Punch, Power-Up Punch, Superpower, Thunder Punch - Ancient Power, Hydro Pump, Liquidation, Sandstorm, Stealth Rock, Surf, Trailblaze, Waterfall, Water Pulse Role: Beefy physical tank. Hits like a truck with Guts while being able to keep itself healthy with Recover. Can set Spikes/TSpikes like regular Clod. Offensive Unaware is kinda cool but loses out on Guts' power boost. Height: 2.7 m Flavor: clodsire but he is jacked
Original Pokemon: Raichu New Pokemon: Raichase Type: Poison/Electric Abilities: Lightning Rod, Poison Point, Antivenom(HA) Stats: 65/50/65/110/70/125 (BST 485) Weight: 40 kg Movepool Changes:
+ Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Toxic Spikes, Taunt, Spikes
- Fly Height: 1 m Flavor / Explanation: A prolific hunter resembling a cheetah, it outruns and injects its prey with fast acting venom. Orange color, long tail, brown stripes, a similar palette to original Raichu just having the body shape of a cheetah. Competitive Role: Offensive electric Pivot with usefulness in its immunity abilities and wide array of coverage, as well as a strong suicide lead. However, it struggles with bulky pokemon and is quite frail.
If this pokemon is hit by a Poison-type attack or absorbs Toxic Spikes, it raises its Special Attack by 1; Poison Immunity
Original Pokemon: Mr. Rime New Pokemon: Mr. Time Type: Steel/Dark Abilities: Sturdy, Screen Cleaner, Overcoat(HA) Stats: 100/55/85/105/95/80 (BST 520) Weight: 78 kg Movepool Changes:
+ Flash Cannon, Dark Pulse, Stealth Rock, Teleport
-All Ice Moves, Slack Off, Nasty Plot Height: 2.1 m Flavor / Explanation: It resembles a grandfather clock, with its mustache becoming hands on a clock, with a brown coat and black leggings. Its eyes remain similar and its hat becomes a bit taller as well as being brown. Its face is white in color with the brown hat and coat surrounding it. Competitive Role: Bulky steel capable of checking offensive threats in the tier such as Starizard and Smoninja whilst being able to set rocks and spin hazards off as well as pivot for teammates, with a solid offensive stabs and excellent coverage. However, it lacks a reliable recovery and suffers from common weaknesses such as Fire, Ground, and a 4x weakness to fighting, making it afraid of fighting coverage.
Original Pokemon: Electrode New Pokemon: Elesnowde Type: Ice/Ground Abilities: Snow Warning, Refrigerate, Soundproof(HA) Stats: 70/110/70/50/70/120 (BST 490) Weight: 9.7 kg Movepool Changes:
+Double Edge, Earthquake, Icicle Crash, Ice Shard, U-Turn, Stealth Rock, Ice Spinner, Body Slam
-All Electric moves Height: 1.4 m Flavor / Explanation: Snowman! Basically it’s Electrode with multiple snowballs, and a cheeky grin Competitive Role: Another offensive pivot with amazing stabs and abilities, but has poor coverage and a mediocre defensive profile
Height: 2.4m Flavor / Explanation: bird has paint on its wings and likes to draw now Competitive Role: better grimmsnarl with a worse typing to compensate. Sounds kinda cool with SD if it had real coverage though
- Fake Out
- Play Rough
- Seed Bomb
- X-Scissor
- Dig
- Heavy Slam
- Iron Head
- Iron Tail
- Gyro Ball
- Gunk Shot
- Flash Cannon
- Steel Beam
- Uproar
Height: 0.8 m (2'07'') Flavor / Explanation: Dreadserker are a more aggressive and vicious variant of Perrserker. They are commonly seen attacking other Pokemon for their food and habitat, often critically injuring the innocent wildlife. It is believed that Dreadserker were originally Perrserker cast out into the wilderness to fend for themselves, causing them to fall prey to their anger, hence the Dark-typing it received. When Perrserker isn't terrorizing Pokemon, it rigorously trains on mountain tops. The reason is unknown for its immense hunger for strength, however, most theorists believe it is to cast vengeance on the ones it used to call family for abandoning it. Dreadserker looks strikingly similar to its predecessor Perrserker, although, it has very distinct red colorations on it's horns and beard. Additionally, it's claws are significantly longer and sharper, probably a result of its training. Competitive Role: Dreadserker just seems like a nice stallbreaker with Bulk Up and Taunt, as well as, a potential Choice Scarf pivot with Parting Shot. It's a bit faster than Perrserker, however, less bulky and not as physically strong. This isn't really an issue due though since it has new utility to use and in my opinion an underated STAB combination. Without its Steel-type coverage and Gunk Shot, it's going to have issues against Fairy-types quite often, balancing it out pretty welll.
Original Pokemon: Tauros New Pokemon: Typos Type: Normal/Dark Abilities: Intimate/Finger Point/Tear Force
-Intimate: Boost the accuracy of this pokemon's physical attacks by 50% but lowers their power by 20%(reverse hustle)
-Finger Point: When sent out this pokemon points a finger and accuses the opponent of something dastardly, lowering the opponents special attack by one stage.(Intimidate for special attack)
-Tear Force: Through the power of this pokemon weeping it gains a stronger affinity with water (Steelworker for Water Type Moves) Stats: 110/40/70/100/95/75 [BST 490] Weight: 8.84 KG Movepool Changes: -Raging Bull, Close Combat, Iron Head, Outrage
+ Hyper Voice, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, Aqua Jet, Liquidation, Hydro Pump, Chilling Water, Water Pulse, Ruling Word
Ruling Word: Dark/Special/100bp/90ac/16pp-This pokemon swaps the letters around in words and enforces their new meanings in order to trick their foes. Has a 10% chance to give the target confusion.
Height: .14m Flavor / Explanation: Yeah everything here relates to typos. Its abilities are all typos of the original Tauros' abilities, its height and weight are typos of its original height and weight with the decimal point moved. Its name is literally Typos. I would have made the stats typos instead of inverting them but like Tauros' stats aren't really good for that while maintaining the same BST. Competitive Role: It's my attempt at a special wallbreaker here. Its decent bulk should allow it to set up a few times with nasty plot and Tear Force gives it some extra water power.
(I know it's more of a bush than vines, but Bushtales is too stretchy) Original Pokemon: Ninetales New Pokemon: Vinetales Type:
Abilities: Poison Point | Grassy Surge (HA) Stats: 73 / 106 / 80 / 89 / 67 / 90 [BST: 505] Weight: 19.9 kg Movepool Changes: Based on Alolan Ninetales.
+ Absorb, Acid, Acid Spray, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Grassy Glide, Grassy Terrain, Growth, Mega Drain, Play Rough, Poison Jab, Power Whip, Seed Bomb, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Solar Blade, Sunny Day, Swords Dance, Trailblaze
- Agility, Aurora Beam, Aurora Veil, Avalanche, Blizzard, Calm Mind, Dream Eater, Freeze-Dry, Frost Breath, Hail, Ice Beam, Ice Shard, Icy Wind, Mist, Powder Snow, Sheer Cold, Stored Power, Wonder Room, Zen Headbutt
Height: 1.1 m Flavor / Explanation: Evolved from Vinepix. Poisoned Berry Pokemon. When first discovered, Vinetales approached the group of researchers calmly. It whipped its tail, scattered berries around before ran away. Some researchers picked those berries up and ate them. Later that night, they suffocated to their inevitable death. Competitive Role: Here's your favorite gorilla in the form of fox. The upside is that this has an additional STAB, but the downsides are that its Grassy Glide hits way less hard and it's completely walled by Steel unless you run Dig, but who tf runs Dig anyways.
:
(Idk how to replicate aurora, but I tried) Original Pokemon: Cursola New Pokemon: Aurosola Type:
Abilities: Snow Cloak | Aurora Cloak (HA)
When snow is active, this Pokemon starts the Aurora Veil effect on its own side.
Height: 18.4 m Flavor / Explanation: Evolved from Bergsola. Light Cloak Pokemon. Aurosola's whole body is made of aurora. It usually hides inside of an iceberg and will only comes out when it is sure that the outside is safe enough for it. For some unknown reason, Aurosola will be minimized when caught by a Poké Ball. Competitive Role: Aurosola could set Veil while also raising its own physical defense due to snow by Snowscape. The downside is that its natural physical bulk is on the low side, so it might not be that easy to setup.
:
(Looks better than I thought) Original Pokemon: Lilligant New Pokemon: Killigant Type:
Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, After You, Aqua Cutter, Assurance, Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Cover, Cross Poison, Cut, Dark Pulse, Dazzling Gleam, Double Team, Draining Kiss, Encore, Entrainment, Facade, Fake Out, Fake Tears, False Surrender, Flash, Flash Cannon, Fling, Focus Energy, Foul Play, Frustration, Giga Impact, Helping Hand, Hidden Power, Hyper Beam, Hyper Voice, Iron Head, Knife Play, Knock Off, Laser Focus, Lash Out, Leaf Blade, Mega Kick, Memento, Metal Burst, Metal Claw, Metal Sound, Mirror Shot, Misty Terrain, Moonblast, Moonlight, Nasty Plot, Night Slash, Parting Shot, Payback, Play Rough, Power Swap, Power Trip, Protect, Psycho Cut, Punishment, Rest, Round, Safeguard, Slash, Sleep Talk, Smart Strike, Snore, Spiky Shield, Substitute, Sucker Punch, Swagger, Switcheroo, Take Down, Taunt, Thief, Throat Chop, Torment, Toxic, U-turn
Name: Knife Play Type:
Category:
Base Power: 70 Accuracy: - PP: 16 Flags: Slicing Effects: Combines Steel in its type effectiveness.
Height: 2.1 m Flavor / Explanation: Evolved from Metilil. Serial Killer Pokemon. Killigant, with its extremely sharp blades, superb speed and a will to kill any living creature it sees, is one of the most dangerous Pokemon in the world. While it is unsure how some Metilil evolve into Killigant instead of Quilligant, it surely is very rare.
Metilil and Quilligant are
by the way. Competitive Role: Killigant is a very generic wallbreaker. With its triple STAB provided by Night Slash and Knife Play which are also boosted by Sharpness, Killigant is able to hit 8 types with the power of Gigalith Explosion.
Killigant's STAB + Sharpness + SE Night Slash
252 Atk Sharpness Killigant Night Slash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 306-362 (89.7 - 106.1%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
Gigalith's plain Explosion
252+ Atk Gigalith Explosion vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 307-362 (90 - 106.1%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
Moxie is also cool, might not be as good though due to a lack of instant power, but if it can kill at least once, it's already better than the Sharpness variant.
Original Pokemon: Golem New Pokemon: Golull Type: Rock / Fairy Abilities: Comatose / Sweet Dreams | Solid Rock (HA) Stats: 90/85/100/90/85/45 [495] Weight: 256 kg Movepool Modifications:

Sweet Dreams: If an ally is asleep, they gain back 1/16 at the end of the turn.
Sleepwalk | Normal | Status | ACC: - | PP: 16 | +1 Priority | Target: User
If the user is asleep, they switch out. Otherwise fails.
Height: 1.28 m Competitive Role: Slow Wall with utility, Sleepwalk for abusing Comatose, and U-Turn for slow pivoting. At long last: A Smoninja switchin.
- Golull takes a similar appearance to Golem, but with roots, leaves, vines, and flowers growing in the cracks of it's rocks, and even on top of the rocks themselves. It gets a Golem-Alola esque beard that is white and covered with flowers.
- Golull are known to be the elder of some forests, protecting baby pokemon and sheltering them. This tends to make it hostile towards deliquent trainers & those who try and knock down forests.
- Golull has an excellent relationship with small bug type pokemon. Allowing them to hide on/in it, while it finds a safe place from them to enter a cocoon. Bug types often return the favor by bringing Golull flowers and fruit when it is old and immobile.
Original Pokemon: Weezing New Pokemon: Weeping Type: Water / Ghost Ability: Water Absorb | Drizzle Stats: 100/68/105/103/72/42 [490] Weight: 10.2 kg Movepool Modifications:
- Assurance, Belch, Captivate, Corrosive Gas, Explosion, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Flash, Gyro Ball, Heat Wave, Incinerate, Infestation, Payback, Poison Gas, Psybeam, Self-Destruct, Shock Wave, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Smog, Smokescreen, Spit Up, Stockpile, Sunny Day, Swallow, Taunt, Thief, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Toxic Spikes, Venom Drench, Venoshock, Zap Cannon
+ Brine, Bubble, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Confuse Ray, Fake Tears, Hex, Hydro Cannon, Hydro Pump, Icy Wind, Life Dew, Night Shade, Ominous Wind, Scald, Soak, Surf, Tearful Look, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Water Sport, Withdraw
Height: 1 m Competitive Role: Rain Setter that serves as a solid physical check, giving shades of pelipper, also a solid Furant switchin.
- Weeping is still two-headed, but lacks the puffs of toxin. The eyes are larger, and their frown is more pronounced, with teardrops hanging from their eyes.
- Weeping are often believed to be the manifestation of dreadful children. Due to this, parents and older figures are very kind to them, and advise others to do the same
- When they get attached, Weeping tend to resonate with their trainer's sadness. Many therapists have taken one as a partner, as to assist with their patients.
Coldsire's contact moves have Ice type effectivity.
Height: 2.2 m Competitive Role: Ice type bulky breaker. Not a wall, but doesn't mind eating a hit or two if possible.
- Coldsire is light blue / snow white colors. The spikes on it's back are gone, replaced with long stripes. It has two tusks, and closed, slanted eyes.
- Coldsires live in freezing climates. Often sitting in snow or ice, for days at a time before moving again. It manages this by eating small fish, and converting snow/ice to water for hydration
- Despite it's lazy, and quite nonchalant appearance, Coldsire's jaw is comparable to a hippopotamus. It's bite force can take care of most of the pokemon universe, but it often uses it's massive jaw to consume snow, and use it as hydration.

Flavor: Tasty (edible fish). Salmon are known for leaping out of the water when swimming upstream. This is based off another fish that is known (probably the most famous) for leaping out and gliding in the air, the flying fish, tho with a small hint of machine added on. Competitive Role: very good (TBD)
Original Pokemon: Obstagoon New Pokemon: Osstagoon Type: Dark / Rock Abilities: Battle Armor / Sand Stream Stats: 93 / 110 / 81 / 60 / 101 / 75 (520 BST) Weight: 66 kg Movepool Changes: + Stone Edge, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Superpower, Rock Tomb, Bone Rush, Iron Head, Ancient Power, Earth Power, Stealth Rock, Spikes, Rock Polish, Ossify - Baby-Doll Eyes, Blizzard, Close Combat, Counter, Cross Chop, Double-Edge, Fake Tears, Focus Energy, Fling, Focus Energy, Grass Knot, Helping Hand, Hyper Voice, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Iron Tail, Lick, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Obstruct, Pin Missile, Quick Guard, Reversal, Round, Screech, Seed Bomb, Shadow Ball, Submission, Surf, Take Down, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Trick, Whirlpool, Work Up, X-Scissor
Rock-type status move, 16 PP. Protects from damaging moves, and the user gets +1 Defense if the attacker makes contact.
Height: 1.6m, same as Obstagoon Flavor / Explanation: Osstagoon, although similar in appearance to Obstagoon, have fashioned themselves armor made out of bones. Osstagoon are in an eternal search for bigger and tougher bones to make their armor even more impressive. Competitive Role: Since almost all the winning submissions up to this point are special attackers, Osstagoon acts as a very solid special wall even without investment, thanks to having Sand Stream as an Ability. Although its typing gives it numerous weaknesses, Dark/Rock has solid coverage, and Osstagoon's access to Earthquake rounds it out nicely. Osstagoon's greatest strength is its sheer number of viable sets: it can run offensive with Rock Polish, Choice sets with Switcheroo, offensive Stealth Rock, defensive Stealth Rock, stallbreak with Taunt, etc.
(but fr though if it ends up being too much just lemme know lol)
Original Pokemon: Goodra New Pokemon: Moodra Type: Normal/Dark Abilities: Anger Point / Mood Swing Stats: 85 / 105 / 110 / 105 / 110 / 85 (600 BST) Weight: 150.5 kg (same as Goodra) Movepool Changes: + Dark Pulse, Hyper Voice, Throat Chop, Double-Edge, Fiery Wrath, Lash Out, Sucker Punch, Fake Tears, Ice Punch, Poison Jab - All Dragon moves (except Dragon Tail and Outrage), Absorb, Acid Armor, Acid Spray, Bide, Bubble, Chilling Water, Confide, Counter, Hydro Pump, Incinerate, Infestation, Laser Focus, Life Dew, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Muddy Water, Mud Shot, Power Whip, Secret Power, Shock Wave, Skitter Smack, Water Gun, Water Pulse
When this Pokemon switches in, it gets either +1 Atk/-1 Spa or +1 SpA/-1 Atk.
Height: 2m (same as Goodra) Flavor / Explanation: Despite its similar body shape, Moodra and Goodra are not related to each other in any way. Moodra lacks the goo on its body, and instead its body changes colors, depending on its moods...which happen to usually be bad. Competitive Role: A weird one, Moodra switches between physical and special on a dime. As it happens, Moodra is the king of mixed sets, using its above average 105 attacking stats and strong movepool to blast through defensive Pokemon by hitting them on their weaker defense. Its typing is a bit on the weak side, but it aids its offensive coverage rather well.
I have a feeling this is gonna be the premiere defensive Pokemon, at least for a while, very solid mon.
Flying is unresisted rn so Specs sets with this mon are gonna go hard.
Very good utility mon, rn it looks like it doesn't have many great MUs, but hey, it gets Spin, U-Turn, Knock Offs, Rocks and Extreme Speed so it's probably gonna find a place regardless.
Fastest mon in the tier with absolutely nuclear Water STAB and Coil is gonna be pretty good, though do watch out for Sapras.
Idk what to say about Zard but it's probably good. Doesn't look very easy to switch in on (especially Psychic STAB) and coupled with Analytic this looks pretty threatening as a breaker.
Dunno, it has superb typing but until we get more shit idt this is gonna take off.
Mountain Scream, Stealth Rock, Hyper Voice, Boomburst, Ancient Power.
Acid Armor, Acid Spray, Belch, Fire Blast, Fire Punch, Gunk Shot, Poison Fang, Poison Gas, Poison Jab, Venom Drench.
