Ok, veto time!
Stareena should either have Serene Grace or Axe Kick removed here, as if you do not miss with Axe Kick, you have a 60% chance to confuse opponents, which is pretty uncompetitive when considering how fast this mon is and would likely limit defensive counterplay a decent bit. Also, Star Kick does not have a listed confusion chance percent and will be removed from the mon if it isn't added. With Serene Grace, I'd recommend trying to keep this chance smaller(10%?).
Dachgun's reworked Quick Draw raised concern with the council since this would essentially allow it to pretty freely revenge kill all our offensive metagame outside of maybe Aurodactyl. We recommend either changing the ability's effect or removing it entirely.
Beevile is too fast and too strong considering Pain Poison. It'd probably be best to scrap Pain Poison here and instead keep the stat spread closer to base Weavile here so it can still work how it does now but not be as strong as it is now.
Sorry for the wait once again. You will have 24 hours to fix your subs!
We were concerned that Wo-Chimp is too bulky especially in conjunction with Drain Punch to have a move like Monkey Dance with its great repertoire of coverage as well. There's multiple ways to fix this, but if it is to keep Monkey Dance, then the bulk or attack should be lowered, or Drain Punch should be removed. Removing Monkey Dance here would also solve the issues here as well.UU and RUBL
Original Pokémon: Wo-Chien
New Pokémon: Wo-Chimp

Monkey Dance - Fighting | Status | - Acc | 10 PP | Dance | Boosts Attack, Defense, Accuracy and Speed by one stage.
Role: Physical Set Up Sweeper
Flavor: A big monkey. What appears to be the shell is in fact it's padded tail which is coiled up on it's back.
Wo-Chimp is a set up sweeper with the incredible Monkey Dance (credit to Glubbfubb for the insanely funny move), using it to clean up weakened teams after little effort.
Garchimp is too strong with No Guard Stone Edge and Dynamic Punch, we really don't have any answers for this combo. Remove No Guard and it should be OK though

Crystaledge doesn't have any abilities, please add them. We were also concerned about Meteor Beam + Rock Polish especially with Crystal Beam essentially being a better Hidden Power, so Meteor Beam should be removed here.

Cristal Beam: If a Pokémon is to use that move at the start of the turn, its typing is changed to his Hidden Power type. Change stays after switch. Changes type to user’s primary type.
Rock, special 75 BP
A polyvalent Sweeper, specs has unpredictability with crystal beam (terastal fr)
Demonaliant's signature move, Devil's Gambit, would likely be a bit too much considering the speed drop, so it should be removed.Y'know what? Fluff it, I'ma sub the whole family.

Flavor / Explanation: A steel gargoyle-like creature with detachable wings that can be turned into 2 headed scythe.
Competitive Role: Hazards (Spikes, Stealth Rock) / Mixed Wallbreaker / Pivot (Devil's Gambit)
Nullcorona would likely be extremely difficult to deal with as the ability to choose its typing (which also wouldn't show up on team preview due to how RKS System works), massive Special attack, and especially QD, would make this way too versatile offensively and very difficult to predict. It's essentially got a better Tera Blast with it to boot. Would recommend either reworking it entirely or removing Quiver Dance.
Nullcarona
Origin: Volcarona
Type: Normal
Abilities: RKS System
Stats: Volcarona
Movepool Changes: + Multi-Barrage (Special Multi-Attack)
Description: Volcarona becomes white, with a menacing rusty helmet covering its head. It’s fir becomes Type: Null’s mane thing and it’s wings resemble Type: Null’s tail.
Competitive Value: Nullcarona is the same as Volcarona, but it has the capacity to be any single type, and have a 120 base power STAB move corresponding to its typing.
Quiver Dance
Nullcarona @ Fairy Memory (or any)
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Modest
- Quiver Dance
- Multi-Barrage
- Fiery Dance
- Roost / Giga Drain
Beevile
Origin: Weavile
Type: Bug/Dark
Ability: Tinted Lens / Poison Point | Pain Poison (Huge Power Clone)
Stats: HP-70 Atk-65 Def-95 SpA-70 SpD-85 Spe-125
Movepool Changes: - All Ice moves, Knock Off
+ Fell Stinger, Leech Life, First Impression, Gunk Shot, Pin Missile, Bug Buzz.
Description: Weavile but it’s red ear thingies are clear and shaped like bee wings, the red fans on its head and around its neck are yellow, it has additional bee wings on its back, the tail it replaced with a stinger, and its claws are thinner, straighter, and black. It also has another pair of arms and bug eyes.
Competitive Value: Beevile is a powerful sweeper, revenge killer, and cleaner. Pain Poison gives it a massive attack stat to go around spamming Bug and Dark STABs. While it may seem inbalanced with Swords Dance, keep in mind many things can wall its STAB combo, and it can’t run Tinted Lens alongside a decent Attack stat.
Swords Dance

Beevile is too fast and too strong considering Pain Poison. It'd probably be best to scrap Pain Poison here and instead keep the stat spread closer to base Weavile here so it can still work how it does now but not be as strong as it is now.
Wing-Fu's combination of stats, typing, bulk and abilities would make this hit extremely hard while being difficult to remove. We recommend lowering the attack by at least 20 points here
Original Pokémon: Ting-Lu
New Pokémon: Wing-Fu
Type:
Abilities: Technician / Scrappy
Stats: 110 / 155 / 125 / 80 / 55 / 45 (570 BST)

Movepool Changes:

- all Dark and Ground moves
Flavor/Explanation: Looks like Ting-Lu, but has wings and stands on two legs.
The ability + Boomburst is excellent for this Pokemon's typing and would make it way too difficult to answer defensively. Removing Boomburst on here is the way to go.OU
Original Pokemon: Iron Moth
New Pokemon: Siren Moth
Type: Electric/Flying
Abilities: Soundproof | Lighting Rod || Seismic Scream
Stats: 80/100/60/120/100/120Normal moves turn into ground type without any power boost.
Weight: 55 kgs?
Movepool Changes:
+ Boomburst, Hyper Voice, Uproar, Echoed Voice, Overdrive, Hurricane, Chatter, Air Slash, Snarl, Earthquake, Round
- All Poison moves barring Acid Spray; All Fire moves barring Overheat; Roost
Flavour: Moth that won't shut up
Role: Specs mon, Hits behind subs, Electric/Flying which hits opposite Ground types
Gholdengoo's bulk is way too much with Recover. Remove Recover and it will most likely be fine.all right, let me give this a shot

New Pokémon: Gholdengoo
Type: Steel/Poison
Abilities: Gooey, Flame Body (HA: Water Compaction)
Stats: 107/70/85/123/131/34 (550)
Height/Weight: Same as Gholdengo
Movepool Changes:
Added: Acid, Acid Spray, Acid Armor, Sludge, Smog, Poison Gas, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Molten Blast, Lava Plume, Fire Punch, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Will-o-Wisp, Toxic, Toxic Spikes
Removed: All Ghost-type moves, all Electric-type moves except Thunder Punch, Make It Rain, Low Kick, Low Sweep, Psychic, Focus Blast, Power Gem
Molten Blast - Steel | Special | Power: 90 | Accuracy: 100% | PP: 10 | 30% chance to burn or poison target.
Flavor: Its body is made up of extremely hot molten gold from one thousand melted coins. During the melting process, the gold absorbed toxins from other metals. Touching it is extremely dangerous—not only will you be horribly burned and lethally poisoned, the molten gold will cling to your body, weighing you down.
Role: Special Tank
Pros:
-Incredible defensive typing, bulk, and recovery
-Great Sp. Atk with strong STABs and Fire coverage
-Superb special offense and defense make it a great special tank
-Can spread status with Will-o-Wisp, Toxic, and Toxic Spikes
-Molten Blast, Sludge Bomb and Lava Plume are also useful status-spreading options on more offensive sets
-Scary Nasty Plot sweeper on Trick Room teams
-Multiple options for punishing contact attackers
-Water Compaction can patch up its lackluster Defense if played correctly
Cons:
-Defense is not great, making it vulnerable to physical wallbreakers, especially if they primarily run non-contact moves
-Double Ground weakness
-Coverage is limited to STAB + Fire and effectively nothing else, leaving it walled by several common Pokémon
Checks/Counters:
-Defensive: Mud, Aurodactyl, Eelix, Appleton
-Offensive: Arcamine, Urthwyrm, anything with Earthquake really
Dapamence likely hits too hard with Fairy Aura/Dark Aura, in combination with its movepool and unpredictability. We recommend changing its abilities to something a bit less powerful.
Dapamence
Original Pokémon: Salamence
New Pokemon: Dapamence
Type: Dark/Fairy
Stats: 95/135/80/120/70/100
Abilities: Fairy Aura/Dark Aura
Movepool Changes: -Dragon moves (bar Dragon Claw), +Moonblast, +Play Rough, +Fairy Wind, +Charm, +Disarming Voice, +Misty Terrain, +Moonlight, +Dazzling Gleam, +Beat Up, +Brutal Swing, +Dark Pulse, +Foul Play, +Knock Off, +Nasty Plot, +Night Slash, +Snarl, +Taunt
Role: Mixed attacker (like Iron Valiant)
Flavor: Mence’s wings are now fairy wings, and it’s more evil and it has a top hat (this is very important)
Sorry for the wait once again. You will have 24 hours to fix your subs!

Using the feedback you gave me I updated my entries
Garchimp's No Gaurd is replaced by Stamina, Stareena trades Axe Kick for normal Jump Kick, and Dashgun's Quick Draw now gives the next move it uses +1 priority as soon as it reaches below 1/2 HP.
Will those changes be suitable for this metagame?
Hello! Is it possible to edit a sub that has no vetoes in? Is just a typing and ability change and I believe it would still be not veto-worthy.

Okay, we have our winners for this slate!
For OU/UUBL, our winner is Glimmaurora by Z-nogyroP!
For UU/RUBL, our winner is Wither Wing by Jrdyop :)
And for RU/NUBL, our winner is Bullibot also by Z-nogyroP!
For OU/UUBL, our winner is Glimmaurora by Z-nogyroP!
Original Pokémon: Glimmora
New Pokémon: Glimmaurora (evolves from Commet)
Type: Ice / Fire
Abilities: Levitate / Magic Guard (Hidden)
Stats: 83 / 90 / 55 / 81 / 86 / 130 (525 BST)
Weight/Height: 1.5 m / 15.0 kg
Movepool Changes: + Dazzling Spin (Mortal Spin clone, Fire-type, 50% chance to burn), Aurora Beam, Ice Shard, Ice Beam, Ice Spinner, Triple Axel, Blizzard, Lava Plume, Flare Blitz, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Overheat, Mind Blown, Aurora Veil, Snowscape, U-turn, Acrobatics, Air Slash, Hurricane, Tailwind, Flame Charge
- Rock moves except Power Gem, Poison moves, Spikes, Iron Defense, Earth Power, Mud Shot, Spiky Shield
Flavor: A rocket-like creature based on auroras and fireworks. Seen streaking across the sky at high speeds, leaving beautiful trails of colour in its wake.
Competitive: Glimmaurora is primarily a speed demon and a breaker, though not without a few tricks up its sleeve (and not without its share of flaws). Dazzling Spin is a fantastic hazard removal tool, only blockable by Flash Fire Taranitar, and with a very useful 50% burn chance to boot. This complements Magic Guard, which saves it from its severe hazards weakness and enables it to run Life Orb and powerful recoil moves. On the physical side it has Flare Blitz, while on the special it has Mind Blown. Combined with U-turn to pivot and either Triple Axel or Ice Beam, it's got a very potent kit.
Unfortunately, its attacking stats leave quite a bit to be desired - this is made up for by the high BP attacks it can fire off, but Mind Blown, the stronger of the two, works off its weaker attacking stat. Further, Ice / Fire is not a great STAB combination, resisted by both Fire and Water - it can get around both with Power Gem and Energy Ball, but the unimpressive BP of these moves off only 81 SpA leaves them lacking, and it can't run STABs, Power Gem, Energy Ball, Dazzling Spin, and U-turn on the same set. Further, Eelix's SpD is too high for it to care about Energy Ball anyways, and Soaperior outspeeds it and murders it with Water Bubble STAB.
For UU/RUBL, our winner is Wither Wing by Jrdyop :)
And for RU/NUBL, our winner is Bullibot also by Z-nogyroP!
Our next slate will be coming soon, but in the meantime, feel free to discuss the winners!
Original Pokémon: Bellibolt
New Pokémon: Bullibot (evolves from Tadbump)
Type: Fighting / Steel
Abilities: Volt Absorb / Iron Fist / Long Reach (Hidden)
Stats: 109 / 103 / 91 / 64 / 83 / 45 (495 BST)
Weight/Height: 1.2 m / 280.0 kg
Movepool Changes: + Mach Punch, Drain Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Counter, Focus Blast, Brick Break, Body Press, Bulk Up, Curse, Heavy Slam, Gyro Ball, Meteor Mash, Iron Head, Iron Defense, Bullet Punch, Steel Beam, Belly Drum, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Earthquake
- Water moves, Mud-Slap, Mud Shot, Parabolic Charge, Acid Spray, Confuse Ray, Electro Ball, Hyper Voice, Weather Ball
Flavor: An artificial Pokémon whose spring-loaded fists can pop out to pummel its enemies. Unfortunately, something in its programming went awry, and it's more aggressive than intended.
Competitive: Bullibot can fulfill a variety of roles, making up for its somewhat underwhelming statline. It has a lovely defensive profile combined with Volt Absorb and reliable recovery in Slack Off, Mach Punch and Bullet Punch for priority, Drain Punch to keep itself healthy, and multiple setup options - Curse if running Gyro Ball, Bulk Up if not, and of course the Belly Drum + priority combination that makes our good friend Azumarill tick. Belly Drum is likely its best niche, since unlike a lot of Belly Drummers it's not unfeasible for it to pull it off more than once thanks to Slack Off, Drain Punch, and Volt Absorb.
The caveat is that the meta as it is right now is not overly kind to it; lots of Grounds, most of the meta can hit it neutrally with at least one STAB, and its poor Speed does it no favours.
I'd just like to mention real quick that there's been A LOT of one-liners in this thread especially. I was fine with letting a few slide at first because people weren't doing it often and it was for pretty important stuff, but I've warned a few users privately and realized it'd be best to just mention here since it's gotten pretty normal in this thread. If you have a complaint with a sub, want to mention you've fixed a vetoed sub, or have some other short and simple question but nothing else to post, it is best suited for Private Messages, the Discord server (join!) or something similar.
Nobody's in trouble yet but just wanted to remind everyone that this is a forum rule and I will start giving more serious warnings if it continues. Thanks!

Arcanadel
Origin: Naganadel
Type: Dragon / Ghost
Abilities: Levitate | Power of Alchemy
Stats: HP-70 Atk-50 Def-70 SpA-127 SpD-127 Spe-96 BST: 540
Movepool Changes
Calm Mind, Psychic, Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Trick, Defog, Taunt, Recover
Competitive Value: Arcanadel makes a good offensive hazard setter with Spikes and Toxic Spikes, but is probably better at hazard control, given access to Defog and Magic Bounce. Using a set-up move like Calm Mind or Nasty plot, Arcanadel can effectively sweep late game with its wide movepools of coverage. It can also pair Dragon Tail with its hazard setting moves to phase opponents. (Note that a secondary Ghost-typing lets it serve as a spinblocker, while access to a relatively fast Taunt lets it thwart opposing Defoggers).

Hydrygon
Origin: Hydreigon
Type: Rock / Ghost
Abilities: Dry Skin | Drought
Stats: HP: 92 Atk: 105 Def: 90 SpA: 125 SpD: 90 Spe: 98 BST: 600
Weight: 130,0 kg
Height: 1,5m
Movepool Changes:
+: Willow Wisp, Stealth Rock, Power Gem, Shadow Ball, Poltergeist
-: Taunt, Nasty Plot, all Dragon Attacks
Flavor/Explanation:
Hydrygon consists of many snakes, that could not extract enough water from their prey. They got burried underground, but their souls combined to form a stronger being, which haunts the deserts. It is said that rare specimens cause severe droughts to take revenge on the snakes, which would't share their food.
Competetive Role:
I like Pokemon, which are able to summon weather despite not obtaining the appropriate typing (Groudon, and sort of Hippo).
It can be a strong wallbreaker and rocks setter, or you can give him one of the choice items.
I took Nasty Plot and Taunt, because Hydrygon could be to strong with them and they belong more to the original.

Flavor: A cute, Audino-like creature with a nurse aesthetic. Its arms end in wicked stingers resembling hypodermic needles.
Competitive: Weird Poison that can provide team support with Heal Bell or just murder things with Lethal Injection. Also able to do a Glowking impression with FuturePort and WishPort, but the lack of Regenerator hurts it there, as do its weaknesses to Earthquake and Knock Off.

Weight/Height: 1.8 m / 220.0 kg

Flavor: A mass of white glue, with a horn resembling the orange cap on a glue bottle. Incredibly sticky.
Competitive: Fat Normal stat stick with Poison Heal for longevity and STAB Facade. Can also be run with Dry Skin as a Water check. Reeeally doesn't like Roseroast.

- Ground moves, Steel moves except Smart Strike, Rock moves, Body Press, Ice Spinner, Ice Fang, Rapid Spin, Knock Off, Volt Switch
Flavor: A mechanical Ariados repurposed for surveillance. Its eyes are now camera lenses, and it can phase in and out of reality to creep through walls and spy on people.
Competitive: Webs setter that differentiates itself from Taranitar with a different defensive typing, a physical lean, and much worse Speed. Not much of a stallbreaker, but it can set Toxic Spikes alongside Sticky Web and trap with Spirit Shackle as poison wears down the enemy.
