Unique type combo sub:
Ludicolo -> Ludivico (Ludicolo + Ludovico technique)
Type:
Base Stats: 80 | 85 | 70 | 105 | 70 | 70 [BST = 480]
Abilities: Analytic, Rattled, Swift Swim
Movepool Changes: +Psychic, Dark Pulse, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Sucker Punch, Psycho Boost, Poltergeist , - All Grass and Water moves, except for Leech Seed and Rain Dance
Height: 4'11" Weight: 55.8 kg
Description: Versatile special attacker. 70 Speed allows it to either go slow and take advantage of Analytic against faster foes, or using its unique typing and Swift Swim to support (eventual) rain teams. Its attack isn't too bad either, giving more value to moves like Drain Punch and STAB Knock Off. Last but not least, it has Psycho Boost as a nuke move for offensive presence, to compensate for its low base SpAtk for a sweeper.
Flavor: Ludicolo gains psychic powers... but at what cost? Metal implements are forcing its eyes open. Green highlights are now dark grey, body and hat top are less spiky and more pale
Unique BST sub:
Swalot -> Swolot (Swole + Swalot)
Type:
Base Stats: 140 | 77 | 65 | 70 | 65 | 50 [BST = 467]
Abilities: Mold Breaker, Stamina, Poison Heal
Movepool Changes: + Body Press, Bulk Up, Drain Punch, - Substitute
Height: 7'01" Weight: 680.4 kg
Description: Fat af setup mon. Use Poison Heal a/o drain punch for reliable recovery, or Stamina + Body Press to function as a bulky physical attacker.
Flavor: Swalot but it's big, red, jacked, and ready to ruin your day
Unique evo method sub:
Mantine -> Meantine (Mean + Mantine)
Type:
Base Stats: 95 | 85 | 90 | 45 | 110 | 60 [BST = 485]
Abilities: Oblivious, Natural Cure, Water Absorb
Movepool Changes: + Brave Bird, Night Slash, Shadow Sneak, Foul Play, Taunt, - All Water moves
Height: 6'09" Weight: 215 kg
Description: "Mom can we have Mandibuzz?" "No, we have Mandibuzz at home" The Mandibuzz at home:
Flavor: Evil Mantine be like... Upper body is black insead of blue, with the ring patterns being red. Fins and 'horns' are sharper, and mouth has a pair of vampire fangs. Lace tail is pronged like a imp/demon. Accompanied by a Murkrow instead of a Remoraid.
edit 1: added heights, weights, and appearance descs for all subs
edit 2: heavily reduced swolot's bulk in accordance to veto

This hits really hard with Adaptability First Impression coming off of 124 attack, and considering its coverage for Fighting types and respectable Speed, this seems a bit too difficult to answer defensively. I'd likely lower the attack by around 5-10 points or remove First Impression.
Techno Blast is likely too much with this mon's current Special Attack, Speed, abilities, and coverage. I'd lower the Special Attack here around 5-10 points or remove Techno Blast.
This likely has enough defense to run IronPress sets a bit too effectively due to its incredible 110/130/75 bulk and access to Recover and Prism Armor, making it very difficult to remove. I'd remove Recover, or lower the bulk a bit. Prism Armor could also be worth removing but it may not be necessary depending on the bulk. Personally I think removing Recover is the best play here.
Checkmate is a crazy ability in general, lowering base power for each kill seems pretty unfun and would likely make this too difficult to answer late game. Please change the ability, and I'd likely change the typing as well since we already have a Dark/Steel, but the type change isn't required.
This feels slightly overtuned for this current meta, it's fantastic bulk, solid coverage, great utility, and access to setup in Bulk Up makes this very unpredictable and it'd most likely be very difficult to answer as a result of its singular weakness to Fire - which it can hit via its coverage. I'd most likely recommend lowering this mon's bulk a bit overall to make it a bit more abusable offensively (you can put lost stats into Spe or SpA).
Not a veto, but you should probably finish this mon's full moveset. You can likely base it off Gliscor to save you some time since this is also based off of a flying animal, but either way, yeah.
Custom hazards are not eligible for submission in this mod, so the ability is vetoed. Also if this was changed to Toxic Spikes instead of a hazard identical to them, it'd likely be ridiculous either way. Setting Toxic Spikes on entry seems extremely busted, requiring no commitment from this mon at all, without any counterplay to speak of here. Change the ability.
Unfortunately, this will be vetoed because it was subbed past the deadline. Just to note, this would have been vetoed anyway because Wishiwashi is not present in this meta as it is a micrometa, meaning only the mons that win slates here make it into the mod.
