[FALCOWNPAUNCH!]

Original Pokemon: Aerodactyl
New Pokemon: Aurodactyl
Type:

Abilities: Heatproof / Clear Body
Stats: 80 / 60 / 80 / 105 / 90 / 100 (515 BST)
Weight: 59 kg (same as Aerodactyl)
Movepool Changes:

- All previously learned Rock-type moves, all Dragon-type moves, Aqua Tail, Assurance, Attract, Bide, Brutal Swing, Bulldoze, Celebrate, Confide, Curse, Double Team, Earth Power, Earthquake, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Foresight, Incinerate, Laser Focus, Mimic, Ominous Wind, Pursuit, Rage, Roar, Rock Smash, Strength, Supersonic, Take Down, Torment

Height: 1.8 m (same as Aerodactyl)
Flavor / Explanation: Aurodactyl is made almost purely of gold. It is said that when it flew in sunlight long ago, its body glimmered with an array of colors and dazzled the prehistoric skies.
Competitive Role: Aurodactyl has a plethora of roles, ranging from Defog to Life Orb 3 attacks + Roost to even Choice items. While it doesn't have a pivoting move, Aurodactyl is more than able to keep itself healthy and perform its role multiple times in a match, thanks to keeping Roost and having Heatproof as an Ability to remove one of its two weaknesses.

also I purposefully didn't give it Good as Gold, that Ability is stupid


Original Pokemon: Audino
New Pokemon: Undino
Type:

Abilities: Storm Drain / Regenerator
Stats: 113 / 50 / 60 / 91 / 86 / 45 (445 BST)

Flavor / Explanation: Undino are plesiosaur-like sea Pokemon that bear a resemblance to Audino. This kindhearted Pokemon will rescue people who are drowning, and use its control of water to lessen the impact of rough waters against boats.
Competitive Role: Wish and Flip Turn together would already be excellent, but Undino also has Regenerator to keep its own health up. Undino keeps Calm Mind from Audino as well, so a boosting set is possible too.


Original Pokemon: Garbodor
New Pokemon: Barbodeur
Type:

Height: 1.9 m (same as Garbodor)
Flavor / Explanation: Barbodeur sets itself apart from its close evolutionary cousin, Garbodor, by having its trash-bag exterior riddled and punctured with barbs. Fishing hooks, coat hangers, bits and pieces of steel--these are Barbodeur's prey.
Competitive Role: Barbodeur's main roles are either as a hazard setter, with every main type of hazards bar Sticky Web and a great defensive typing, or as an Iron Defense booster with Body Press. Barbodeur's base 105 Attack also lets it run more offensive sets if you want.

[DuoM2]

Original Pokemon: Pinsir
New Pokemon: Pingsir
Type: Bug/Electric
Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Mold Breaker | Multiscale
Stats: 75/125/120/55/70/55
Weight: ligma balls idiot
Movepool Changes: + Zing Zap, First Impression, Megahorn, Recover, Thunder Wave, other random electric moves that have no relevance here
Justification: Computer bug. Weird offensive Pokemon with some pretty funky utility outside of just "breaker." Might be cool for anti-offensing stuff with Fimp or just breaking things with SD after you get in through Multiscale. Will want to sprite this if it wins.

Original Pokemon: Salamence
New Pokemon: Salaminte
Type: 100/115/100/90/90/105
Abilities: Intimidate / --- | Ice Body
Stats: Ice/Flying
Weight: i put type and stats in the wrong place in my 1 AM delirium and did not care to move them back if anyone wants to complain at me then they can refer to the above weight
Movepool Changes: + Mountain Gale, Icicle Spear, Ice Shard, Close Combat, Bulk Up, Knock Off, i'll toss some ice and grass flavor moves in here later
Justification: An arguably better stat spread than Salamence while keeping Intimidate, where's the catch? Well your typing now sucks defensively and you lost Dragon Dance in favor of Bulk Up. It took me a lot of deliberating and random tweaks to get this to a point where I was satisfied, I kept bouncing back and forth between broken and not broken and I think it's fine now. Do keep in mind that what is likely forced Boots will make this thing way weaker than it initially may seem to be.

for the coders who are removing moves

Breaking Swipe, Draco Meteor, Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rage, Dragon Rush, Dragon Tail, Ember, Fire Blast, Fire Fang, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Heat Wave, Incinerate, Outrage, Sunny Day, Twister

Sceptical
Dark/Psychic
Wonder Guard
110/84/90/122/1/123
Movepool: +Salt Cure, Inferno, Water Sport, Sheer Cold, Glaciate, Poison Fang, Toxic, Camouflage, Shadow Sneak, Psystrike, Dark Pulse, Sticky Web, Electro Web, Toxic Thread, Spider Web, Confuse Ray, Confusion, Rage, Rage Powder, Hyper Bean, Eerie Impulse, Meteor Bean, Charge Bean, Aurora Bean
-Grass moves except Leech Seed, Giga Drain, Solar Bean, Energy Ball, Sleep Powder

So it’s Sceptile a bit OP, inspired by complotists. hard coded to 1 HP if possible, wanted Nasty Plot but I have a doubt if it’d be broken. The ability may be too much but it’s weak to U-Turn so I guess it’s fine. Its moves are inspired by theories

Since the other posts responding to this have been a bit unproductive, I'll respond as well. I've seen quite a few people before try to give something Wonder Guard and an actual HP stat and it's never really worked. Shedinja itself is not a bad Pokemon despite what its untiered status may tell you. In a bunch of tiers where stall is viable, Shedinja has seen fringe viability and often even tournament success, and removing a major weakness of such an extreme Pokemon is going to make something drastically better. Chip damage is essential to beating Shedinja and giving it even the slight ability to take those on is doing just that.

Counterplay to Shedinja is limiting and reactive enough that this is a weakness it needs to have for competitive balance. I can't speak for this mod's council but wouldn't be surprised if this got vetoed for that reason. The defensive typing would probably need changed in addition to the HP being reduced to 1 and probably Sleep Powder + Salt Cure being removed. U-Turn weakness really is not as big as it may seem because the stall teams you'd run this on don't care about losing momentum and not very many Pokemon in this micrometa even learn the move.

@ Everyone else reading this, let's avoid one-line responses, especially if it's just to clown on someone for no reason. Thanks!

[Loginator]

Original Pokemon: Medicham
New Pokemon: Magicharm
Type: Fairy / Rock
Abilities: Magical Power / Healer (HA)
Stats: 60 / 40 / 85 / 70 / 85 / 70 | 410
Weight: 36.3 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Power Gem, Flash Cannon, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Iron Defense
- All punching/cutting moves, all Fighting moves, Fake Out, Helping Hand, Taunt, Work Up
Flavor: Magicharm is a magical trinket, with the arms replaced with chains, as if it could go around your neck. The dots are replaced with shiny jewels, as with the eyes.
Role: Can be a special sweeper with Rock Polish or Choice Specs wallbreaker with an insanely high Sp. Atk stat when combined with its unique ability, on top of a very expansive movepool and good offensive typing. However, it is set back by its poor bulk and initial speed, combined with common weaknesses.

Magical Power

The user's Sp. Atk stat is doubled. Basically a special version of Pure Power.

Original Pokemon: Glalie
New Pokémon: Flalire
Type: Fire
Abilities: Flame Body / Levitate / Drought (HA)
Stats: 80 / 120 / 100 / 40 / 60 / 80 | 480
Weight: 268 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Sun Flare, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rock Blast, Will-O-Wisp, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish
- All Ice and Water type moves
Flavor: A fiery core surrounded with a rocky exterior. There’s less holes, and no longer any teeth, with a fiery open mouth instead. The horns are also removed. This makes it resemble a different species due to these physical differences.
Role: A more offensive Drought supporter, with a faster speed and much higher offensive presence than Torkoal, on top of a fantastic signature move. It can also turn its weakness to Ground to an immunity, or cause Water type moves to hit it neutrally with Drought. However, the mediocre speed and poor special bulk holds it back.

Sun Flare

Type: Fire
BP: 100
PP: 10
Accuracy: 100%
Physical
Explanation: Has a 30% chance to burn the target.

Original Pokemon: Sandaconda

Movepool Changes:
+ Gunk Shot, Poison Jab, Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes, Spikes,
- All Ground type moves besides Dig, All Rock type moves, Outrage, Dragon Rush, Hurricane, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang
Flavor: It's a toxic worm instead of a snake! The nostrils have been replaced with eyes, with the Sandaconda's eyes being a part of the different pattern the worm has. The ring around it has been replaced by a spiky metal one, hence the Steel typing, but no pattern on it.
Role: Physically defensive Pokemon that can spread hazards and paralysis with Glare, or run a Coil set with Body Press and Gunk Shot. Earth Eater turns an otherwise fatal 4x weakness into an immunity, making use of its great defensive typing.

[fratelli bc]

Oh! Sorry for missing voting last slate! Congrats to the winners!

For now, in this slate, I have only one idea:

Original Pokemon: Lopunny
New Pokemon: Zapunny
Type: Electric/Fairy
Abilities: Static / Huge Power
Stats: 75/60/95/54/95/101
Weight: same
Movepool Changes:

- All Fighting-type moveS except High Jump Kick, Ice Punch, Triple Axel.

+ Draining Kiss, Dazzling Glam, Volt Switch, Wild Charge, Zing Zap, Shockwave, Spark.

Height: same as original

Flavor / Explanation: A cute electric bunny. Evolves from Bunestatic.

Competitive Role:

Zapunny @ Choice Scarf /Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Zing Zap/Wild Charge
- Play Rough
- Switcheroo/Fire Punch/High Jump Kick

Huge Power and overall good speed tier, Zapunny looks like an excelent choiced pivot, be it Scarf or Band. Usually U-Turn, Play Rough and Zing Zap/Wild Charge are necessary. The last slot is the coverage you want it to have. HJK, Fire Punch, Switcheroo, all serve for different purposes. Fire Punch is for Sapras, but defensive pokemon often fear to be choiced more.

It can also use Assault Vest sets. Little ATK EVs are needed to 60 base atk mon, with Huge Power. to have a bigger stat than a 110 base atk mon, so the rest can be distributed into Speed, HP or SPDef.

Typing lets it switch into Smoninja

- Poison Jab, Stealth Rock, Swords Dance, Fling, Surf, Draco Meteor, Scorching Sands, Whirlpool, Twister, Fly, Dragon Tail
Flavour:
Dex Entry 1: Carchomp looks very similar to Cyclizar, and also can be ridden. However, it is not recommended since while it is much faster, it has less control.
Dex Entry 2: Carchomp is normally sluggish, but when it releases the wheels on its legs it can move up to 200 Kilometers per Hour. Rival Carchomp will race for territory, and the faster Carchomp wins.
Prevos: Cible, Cabite

Competitive Role: Ground/Steel type alternative to Iron Treads and Excadrill that has some sweeping potential as well. Can run mixed sets as well as Physical sets, and is bulkier than normal Garchomp but initially slower. It can utilize Shift Gear to turn into a terrifying sweeper, but lacks an ability to go along with that power. It also somewhat lacks in immediate power, but makes up for it with an amazing profile of U-Turn, Close Combat, and a Reckless-boosted Head Smash along with keeping Spikes. Head Smash is a sort of risk vs reward option with Stone Edge, as it eats into Carchomp's longevity in exchange for stunning power.

Balance Changes: Speed Boost -> Reckless, +Head Smash, -Headlong Rush, -10 Atk, +10 Speed

PP: 15
Effect: Drops the speed of the opposing pokemon, then switches out
Priority: -
Flags: Protect, Magic Bounce/Mirror Coat

Flavor:
Centiskorch, but it floats and has gamer lights around it :)
"It doesnt like to engage in fights, so when attacked, it liberates multiple blinding lights around it to blind its attacker and escape"
"The lights it creates liberates strange powder that amplifies psychic abilities, the powder is normaly used in charms, and in spoons for some reason"
Name comes from Centiskorch + Calm
It evolves from Mysstipede
Competitive Role:
A pivot that has great abilities and moves, but mid defenses and bad defensive typing, but with good ofensive synergy, Bug being able to hit the Dark and Psychic types that resist or are straight up inmune to Psychic, and Psychic being able to attack the Fighting and Poison that Bug cant deal much damage against, Dazzling makes it inmune to Smoninja's Smoke Shuriken and Arcamine's Accelerock, Regenerator is an overall good pivoting ability, and Magic Guard helps with its SRock weakness as well as being able to switch into Toxic's and Will-o-Wisp's and being able to fire off its own Will-o-Wisp's as well as Scald, and can help slower mons from its team to switch in with Light Trick

"Long ago, the spirit of an unknown pokemon took control of this doll to try and communicate with the people of an unknown town, the people feared the doll, so they burned it with the spirit still inside"

"It hides its real body inside the doll it lives in, when a traveler goes near it, it will spook it by going out of the doll in a blast of flames"
Doesnt have preevo
Name comes from Bannete + Burn
Competitive Role:
Fast and frail special attacker, outspeeds Smoninja, can punish physical attacks with Flame Body, and gets one of its weaknesses removed with Levitate, and can be a tiny bit more defensive with Fluffy, over all because of its poor hp stat, gets easily shut down by special walls and paralyzis, even with Fluffy, its pretty weak versus physical attacks, over all because of being weak to Rock, Ground and Fighting, three of the main physically attacking types

[Mossy Sandwich]

Original Pokemon: Camerupt
New Pokemon: Cormerust (Corrode+Camel+Rust)
Type: Poison/Steel
Abilities: Weak Armor/Water Compaction/(Filter)
Stats: 85/70/75/90/110/30 (460 BST)
Weight: 156,8kgs
Replacing entire movepool
Viable Moves: Acid Armor, Acid Spray, Body Press, Clear Smog, Corrosive Gas, Curse, Earth Power, Flash Cannon, Gyro Ball, Metal Burst, Power Gem, Purify, Sludge Bomb, Stealth Rock, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Venom Sap*, Gen 9 Universal moves (No Return or Hidden Power)
Flavor Moves: Acid, Amnesia, Ancient Power, Body Slam, Bulldoze, Defense Curl, Double-Edge, Earthquake, Giga Impact, Growl, Gunk Shot, Heavy Slam, Hyper Beam, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Iron Tail, Mirror Shot, Poison Gas, Poison Tail, Rain Dance, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rollout, Sandstorm, Scary Face, Sludge, Sludge Wave, Smog, Spit Up, Steel Beam, Stockpile, Stone Edge, Swallow, Tackle, Take Down, Trailblaze, Venoshock, Zen Headbutt
*Venom Sap: 90bp | 100% Accuracy | 10PP (16 max) | Special | Poison | User recovers 50% of the damage dealt.

Height: 1.9m
Flavor / Explanation: Evolved from Cormel, Cormerust is a veteran of battle, having survived countless encounters with its thick iron-like skin having been corroded and rusted over the course of many battles. It can shoot an acidic liquid from the humps on its back.
Competitive Role: Bulky Steel with Rocks and Tspikes as well as the ability to cripple enemies with Corrosive Gas and Toxic. It has a pretty wide movepool to try to surprise opponents with moves like Acid Armor or Metal Burst. Its utility generally boils down to setting hazards and using Toxic, Clear Smog and Corrosive Gas. Like most Steels, it lacks reliable recovery, though Cormerust can try to stay somewhat healthy with Purify and especially Venom Sap. While both have their flaws, added longevity is always welcome. It can check Smoninja pretty well and can do decently into Soaperior thanks to Water Compaction handling its physical sets better. It fears the many ground types the format currently has, though.


Original Pokemon: Corviknight
New Pokemon: Corvisleight (Corvid+Sleight of hand)
Type: Flying/Dark
Abilities: Prankster/Pickpocket/(Klutz)
Stats: 98/87/105/53/85/67
Weight: 30kgs
Replacing entire movepool
Viable Moves: Agility, Brave Bird, Bulk Up, Counter, Defog, Foul Play, Knock Off, Roost, Parting Shot, Power Trip, Sucker Punch, Switcheroo, Taunt, U-Turn, Whirlwind, Will-O-Wisp, Gen 9 Universal moves (No Return, Toxic or Hidden Power)
Flavor Moves: Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, Air Cutter, Air Slash, Assurance, Astonish, Avalanche, Baby-Doll Eyes, Blizzard, Body Slam, Charm, Confide, Confuse Ray, Dark Pulse, Drill Peck, Drill Run, Dual Wingbeat, Embargo, Fake Tears, Feather Dance, Feint Attack, Flatter, Fling, Fly, Fury Attack, Giga Impact, Heat Wave, Hone Claws, Hurricane, Hyper Beam, Leer, Lunge, Magical Leaf, Mean Look, Nasty Plot, Night Shade, Night Slash, Ominous Wind, Peck, Play Rough, Pluck, Quick Attack, Rain Dance, Razor Wind, Rock Slide, Sand Attack, Scary face, Screech, Sky Attack, Snatch, Snowscape, Spite, Steel Wing, Sunny Day, Swagger, Swift, Take Down, Thief, Tailwind, Torment, Twister, Wing Attack

Height: 2.1m
Flavor / Explanation: Corvisleight looks deceptively similar to Corviknight, lives in the same regions and even acts similarly to it, taking people on flying taxis. However, Corvisleight actually tries to trick people into thinking it's a Corviknight and uses their lowered guard as an opportunity to pocket their wealth or put them in dangerous situation. When it's not on the job, Corvisleight will play tricks it considers harmless, such as causing avalanches and rock slides, though it will sometimes impress people with its tricks.
Competitive Role: Despite having the same stat spread and a shared typing, Corvisleight takes a different role than the pokemon it's based on. While it can still work as a bulky pivot with Defog, Flying/Dark makes its bulk look much less impressive as it has more weaknesses, fewer resistances and wants to use boots to avoid Stealth Rocks. As such, Corvisleight will draw from its bag of tricks to cripple opponents, using moves like Knock Off or Will-O-Wisp. Its annoyance abilities are made stronger by Prankster, allowing it to fire off a Wisp, Taunt or Roost before the opponent can prevent them and Parting Shot can make it incredibly hard to get a grasp on. Its Ghost and Psychic resistances are also relevant in the current meta and make it work nicely as a specially-oriented wall. Using this same specially defensive set, it can make great use of Bulk Up to become a win condition and even pair it with Agility and Power trip to become a dangerous sweeper. I think I've said enough to show that Corvisleight has many tools at its disposal. However, Corvisleight has its weaknesses. Namely, it's a Dark resistance that doesn't want to take a Knock Off, not to mention it can't even use its status moves against Dark types if using Prankster, they can even block its Defog. It's pretty much helpless against Dark types. Its bulk is also not impressive enough to shrug off strong neutral hits. Overall, it's an interesting bulky support option, but one that might not be the easiest to use to its full potential.

In the next installment of birds becoming bugs, it’s time to butcher my favorite Pokémon

Buzzika

Name Origin: Buzz(y) + Zika (disease carried by mosquitoes)
Type: Bug / Dark
Abilities: Swarm, Trace
Stats: 80 HP / 120 Atk / 70 Def / 80 SpA / 70 SpD / 110 Spe (530 BST)
Weight: ask your mom
New Moves: First Impression, Leech Life, X-Scissor, Lunge, Bug Bite, Bug Buzz, Struggle Bug, Infestation, Sticky Web, Sucker Punch, Throat Chop, Beat Up, Feint Attack, Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Taunt, Drain Punch, Draining Kiss, Stealth Rock
Removed Moves: Blaze Kick, Fire Blast, Fire Punch, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Heat Wave, Overheat, Will-O-Wisp, Blast Burn, Ember, Fire Pledge, Fire Spin, Flame Burst, Heat Crash, Incinerate, Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Focus Blast, Focus Punch, High Jump Kick, Low Kick, Power-Up Punch, Seismic Toss, Superpower, Coaching, Double Kick, Dynamic Punch, Low Sweep, Revenge, Reversal, Rock Smash, Sky Uppercut, Vacuum Wave
Flavor/Explanation: Ok give me a second to explain the flavor of these abilities because holy shit these are wacky. Swarm’s kinda self explanatory, but did you know that mosquitos suck your blood to utilize your DNA to have children? Using that DNA usage fact I decided to give the mon Trace. Otherwise the whole analogous structure thing I explained before applies here as well. (Torquito —> Combuzzken —> Buzzika)
Competitive Role: Offensive Lead, Fast SD Sweeper, Offensive Pivot, Physical Revenge Killer

 

[PokePoindexter]

Aerxolotl

Original Pokemon: Aerodactyl
New Pokemon: Aerxolotl
Type: Water/Flying
Abilities: Pressure/Gooey (Hidden: Unnerve)
Stats: 80/105/65/60/75/130 (unchanged)
Weight: 130.1 lbs
Movepool Changes:
Removed: Bulldoze, Earth Power, Earthquake, Meteor Beam, Rock Blast, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Rock Smash, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Smack Down, Stone Edge
Added: Aqua Cutter, Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring, Blizzard, Brine, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Dive, Flip Turn, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Liquidation, Liquidation, Surf, Water Gun, Waterfall, Wave Crash

Height: 5'11"
Flavor / Explanation: It has the same wings as an Aerodactyl, but its head, tail, and most of its body all somewhat resemble those of a Wooper. Aerxolotl was revived from a piece of Old Amber that contained DNA from multiple other Pokemon in addition to Aerodactyl. It is much better at swimming than it is at flying, but isn't particularly good at either.

Machomp

Original Pokemon: Machamp
New Pokemon: Machomp
Type: Fighting/Rock
Abilities: Guts/Gluttony (Hidden: Earth Eater)
Stats: 90/130/80/65/85/55 (unchanged)
Weight: 286.6 lbs
Movepool Changes:
Added: Head Smash, Meteor Beam, Rock Wrecker, Stealth Rock, Gaping Bite (Rock-type clone of Leech Life)

Height: 5'03"
Flavor / Explanation: Machomp has a mouth at the end of each of its arms (which are really necks), and its body is less muscular than a Machamp. It eats through the sides of cliffs by launching its necks at them as if it were punching them, which both satisfies its hunger and provides a place for it to sleep.

WIP

Original: Tyranitar
New: Pyronitar
Type: Fire/Ground
Stats: 100/95/110/134/100/61
Abilities: Flash Fire/H: Mold Breaker
Flavor: It looks like TTar, but flames come out its back Thyphlosion-style, It’s commonly used in fossil fuel extraction.
Competitive use: Mold Breaker user, special wall breaker
Movepool Changes: -Rock Slide, -Stone Edge, -Rock Tomb, -Foul Play, -Payback, -Assurance
+Fire Blast, +Heat Wave, +Lava Plume, +Overheat, +Flame Charge, +Flare Blitz

Original: Sceptile
New: Deceptile
Type: Dark
Stats: 70/105/65/85/85/120
Abilities: Prankster, Pickpocket/ H: Rough Skin
Flavor: Mafia Boss Sceptile is here! Compared to OG Sceptile, Deceptile is much more cowering, darker, and four-legged.
Competitive Use: Prankster user along with a niche set up physical sweeper
Movepool Changes: -Grass Moves (except Leaf Blade) +Knock Off, +Parting Shot, +Swords Dance, +Close Combat, +Taunt, +Swagger, +Encore

Original: Rillaboom
New: Drillazoom
Type: Steel/Electric
Stats: 100/110/105/60/95/60
Abilities: Analytic, Galvanize/H: Levitate
Flavor: Drillazoom levitates in the air, and its long hair from Rillaboom is twisted into a drill, and its drums become motors.
Competitive Use: Slow Bulky Sweeper
Movepool Changes: -Grass Moves, -U Turn, +Iron Head, +Flash Cannon, +Shift Gear, +Volt Switch, +Discharge, +Thunder, +Thunderbolt, +Wild Charge, +Magnet Rise

 

[APaidActor]

Original Pokemon: Swampert
New Pokemon: Swarmert
Type: Bug / Steel
Abilities: Swarm / Analytic
Stats: 100 / 110 / 90 / 75 / 70 / 90 {BST: 535}
Weight: 68 kg
Movepool Changes:

• + First Impression, X-Scissor, U-turn, Iron Head, Meteor Mash, Spikes
• - All Water and Ground moves

Height: idk
Flavor / Explanation: Has some more bug-like features due to being based on the giant water bug with some steel plating. Some bugs have adapted to suit wet environments quite well similar to other animal species.
Competitive Role: Bulky pivot good both offensively and defensively due to the typing and Analytic. Iron Defense / Bulk Up sets with Body Press are possible too


Original Pokemon: Snorlax
New Pokemon: Snarlax
Type: Dark / Electric
Abilities: Immunity / Thick Fat / Defiant
Stats: Unchanged
Weight: 400 kg
Movepool Changes:

• + Knock Off, Zing Zap, Volt Tackle, Volt Switch
• - none

Height: will do this if it wins
Flavor / Explanation: Big angry cave cat (i think base snorlax is based on a bear with pointy ears so this should kinda work).
Competitive Role: Does what Snorlax usually does, but with a much better offensive typing. Stopped pretty handily by Sapras though and weak to the mutlitude of ground types, although it is able to check a decent portion of the meta, such as Starizard, Smoninja, Fweezing, and possibly Soaperior (it doesn't hit that hard with Fairy). Pivoting is also neat for more defensive sets.

maybe more to come?

 

[Genuine_Angus_B33F]

Drednaw --> Breadnaw
Fairy/Poison
Gluttony / Shell Armor / Anticipation
80/85/105/98/43/74
(-10 HP, -30 Atk, +50 SpAtk, +15 Def -25 SpDef)

Gains: Play Rough, Sludge Bomb, Acid Spray, Belch, Strange Steam, Power Trip, Stuff Cheeks, Poison Fang, Corrosive Gas, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Spikes, Pain Split, Taunt

Loses: All Water moves, All Rock moves, Earthquake/High Horsepower, Megahorn, Swords Dance, Scale Shot, Ice Beam, Ice Spinner, Superpower

Flavor: This is no Well-Baked confection: this is a moldy, stale chunk of bread that you can only begin to salvage when you crack open the rock hard crust with a Shell Smash. It will only activate its stench once it has a foe in trapped in a Jaw Lock, using the overbearing smell to dissuade anything from stealing its prey.

Role: Shell Smasher with a highly unique offensive type setup (Fairy, Poison, Dark). It can deal damage with mixed offenses, and even without STAB, Power Trip can let it break through Unaware foes. It notably can also bait out many of its natural counters with sets that trap with Jaw Lock combined with Toxic, Taunt, Body Press, or setup, letting Breadnaw take out or cripple high priority targets.



Latias and Latios
Latiat and Lationge
Normal, Normal
Levitate, Levitate
(Weight: Doubled in kg)

Latiat : 100/70/90/100/130/110
Lationge : 100/80/80/120/110/110
(For Both: +20 HP, -10 Atk, -10 SpAtk)

Gains: Weather Ball, Hyper Voice, Hurricane, Moonblast, Moonlight, Blizzard, Snowscape, Haze, Clear Smog, Flash Cannon, Gravity

Loses: Dragon Moves (aside from Dragonbreath and Twister), Psycho Cut/Zen Headbutt, Psyshock, Stored Power, Trick, Toxic, Energy Ball Psywave, Shadow Claw

New Moves:
Latiat : Brume
Normal : Special : 70 BP, 100 Acc, 5 PP
Eliminates stat changes (Target's and User's) . Ignores Immunities.

Lationge : Turbulence
Normal : Special : 70 BP, 100 Acc, 5 PP
On hit, raises the highest stat of both the user and the target by one stage. Ignores Immunities.

Flavor: Compared to their draconic cousins, Latiat and Lationge are much less grand, as rather than piercing through the clouds, they glide above them, going nearly undetected. Their colors are muted in appearance, their shape more rounded and less aerodynamic, and their personalities a lot more laid back. Telling the difference between them can be difficult at first glance (even for those who aren't colorblind)

(Their names are based on Latitude and Longitude. I think the original names were probably also based on this, which is near)

Role: Both are very high stated Normals. They come equipped with a unique combination of speed and bulk, as well as recovery and plenty of interesting status moves like Defog, Screens, Gravity, Tailwind, and more.

Their signature moves define their roles. Latiat can stonewall setup with its high natural bulk alongside Brume, while also carrying Latias' incredible utility moves in Healing Wish and a very defensively relevant Reflect Type.

Lationge can engage in scary setup of its own with Turbulence and Calm Mind, mostly held back by the very low base power and low PP of Turbulence itself. Turbulence can reasonably boost both SpAtk and Speed, but it will often need the other too badly to do a long setup sweep, or it will be stuck with a Choice item.

Original Pokemon: Medicham
New Pokemon: Magicharm
Type: Fairy / Rock
Abilities: Magical Power / Healer (HA)
Stats: 60 / 40 / 85 / 70 / 85 / 70 | 410
Weight: 36.3 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Power Gem, Earth Power, Ice Beam, Flash Cannon, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Iron Defense
- All punching/cutting moves, all Fighting moves, Fake Out, Helping Hand, Taunt, Work Up
Flavor: Magicharm is a magical trinket, with the arms replaced with chains, as if it could go around your neck. The dots are replaced with shiny jewels, as with the eyes.
Role: Can be a special sweeper with Rock Polish or Choice Specs wallbreaker with an insanely high Sp. Atk stat when combined with its unique ability, on top of a very expansive movepool and good offensive typing. However, it is set back by its poor bulk and initial speed, combined with common weaknesses.

Magical Power

The user's Sp. Atk stat is doubled. Basically a special version of Pure Power.

Original Pokemon: Glalie
New Pokémon: Flalire
Type: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Flame Body / Levitate / Drought (HA)
Stats: 80 / 120 / 100 / 40 / 50 / 80
Weight: 268 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Sun Flare, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rock Blast, Will-O-Wisp, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish
- All Ice and Water type moves
Flavor: A fiery core surrounded with a sandy exterior. There’s less holes, and no longer any teeth, with a fiery open mouth instead. The horns are also removed. This makes it resemble a different species due to these physical differences.
Role: A more offensive Drought supporter, with a faster speed and much higher offensive presence than Torkoal, on top of a fantastic signature move. The extra Ground typing gives it a unique niche, while the normally devastating Water weakness is made less deadly by Drought. However, the mediocre speed and poor special bulk holds it back.

Sun Flare

Type: Fire
BP: 100
PP: 10
Accuracy: 100%
Explanation: Has a 30% chance to burn the target.

View attachment 478414
Original Pokemon: Sandaconda
New Pokemon: Miasmamba
Type: Poison / Steel
Abilites: Earth Eater / Rough Skin / Limber (HA)
Stats: 72 / 97 / 135 / 65 / 90 / 51
Weight: 78.4 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Gunk Shot, Poison Jab, Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes, Spikes,
- All Ground type moves besides Dig, All Rock type moves, Outrage, Dragon Rush, Hurricane, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang
Flavor: It's a toxic worm instead of a snake! The nostrils have been replaced with eyes, with the Sandaconda's eyes being a part of the different pattern the worm has. The ring around it has been replaced by a spiky metal one, hence the Steel typing, but no pattern on it.
Role: Physically defensive Pokemon that can spread hazards and paralysis with Glare, or run a Coil set with Body Press and Gunk Shot. Earth Eater turns an otherwise fatal 4x weakness into an immunity, making use of its great defensive typing.

I finished updating this just so everyone knows.

Sub Review Post PART 1

Resub


Original Pokemon: Sceptile
New Pokemon: Sceptrial
Type:

Abilities: Justified / Pressure
Stats: 75 / 107 / 70 / 107 / 71 / 100
Weight: 53 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ close combat, psychic, aura sphere, zen headbutt, psycho cut, trailblaze, echoed voice, confusion, tackle, coaching, reversal
- all grass moves, dragon dance, acrobatics, dragon claw, dragon pulse, earthquake, rock slide, thunder punch
Flavor / Explanation: sceptile but (it's an attorney)
Competitive Role: mixed attacker that can run choice items (pretty frail tho)

(I'll do more later I promise)

i dont know. i dont you know LIKE it as a mon but i think this is cool for the actual metagame. Iron valiant-esque mon.

Sceptical
Dark/Psychic
Wonder Guard/Tinted Lens/Prankster
110/84/90/122/1/123
Movepool: +Inferno, Water Sport, Sheer Cold, Glaciate, Poison Fang, Toxic, Camouflage, Shadow Sneak, Psystrike, Dark Pulse, Sticky Web, Electro Web, Toxic Thread, Spider Web, Confuse Ray, Confusion, Rage, Rage Powder, Hyper Bean, Eerie Impulse, Meteor Bean, Charge Bean, Aurora Bean
-Grass moves except Leech Seed, Giga Drain, Solar Bean, Energy Ball,

So it’s Sceptile a bit OP, inspired by complotists. hard coded to 1 HP if possible, wanted Nasty Plot but I have a doubt if it’d be broken. The ability may be too much but it’s weak to U-Turn so I guess it’s fine. Its moves are inspired by theories

Edit: What a lot of hate! Btw, it has 120HP to dump it, I’d want to put it at 1HP max.

Innerleon
Fighting/Psychic
Stamina/Adaptability
125/120/75/70/75/45
Movepool: Mach Punch, Pain Slash, Drain Punxh, Close Combat, Shadow Claq, Shadow Sneak, Trailblaze, Elementals Punches, Liquidation(kept), Bulk Up, Nasty Plot, Revenge, Retaliate
-Water,Flying moves
Pain Slash:Psychic Rage Fist
A tank, a spdef set with bulk up is probably good, worse than Annihilape but it’s not here. It’s focused on revenge and is slower.

Heracles
Fighting,Fairy
Reckless/Runaway
80/125/75/40/75/105
+Moonblast, Draining KISS, Drain Punch, High Jump Kick, Play Rough, Captivate, Spotlight, Taunt, Swagger, Flatter, Outrage, Punish, Noble Roar(Lion of Nemeus), Steel Wing(the birds), Thousand Arrows(hydra), Muddy Water(he washed horse’s house), Attract(amazons), Pursuit(the deer), Throat Chop(the boar), Follow Me (Cerberus), GRav Apple (Hesperides), Triple Arrows(geryon), Head Charge(the bull), Mighty Attack
-Bug Moves, Close Combat
Mighty Attack:150 BP, 80accuracy, if Protect/miss, -50% health.
So it’s taller and faster and it wants attention. Gave it a lot of flavor moves, Triple Arrow/Pursuit are those it could use. A scarf could work, I wanted to force it to use risky moves with HJK.

even if you swapped spd for hp it would be broken because there are too few weaknesses here for an WG mon. i just dont think its fixable for now
NP adaptability pain slash is broken with stamina, i suggest you remove pain slash since mon is amazing otherwise.
150 BP STAB 125 Atk Reckless-boosted move looks broken esp w SD.

Height: 1.8 m
Flavor / Explanation:

Scarlet Entry

"Pupette loves to act and will often appear at random and perform for nearby people or Pokemon. However, it often gets too invested in its act and doesn't realize everyone's left."

Violet Entry

"This Pokemon is made of a mysterious material most similar to metal. Pupette's origin is still unknown."

A Puppet with a face and a tail most resembling that of Banette.
Competitive Role: Unaware Steel type wall with a lot of utility moves, but eh stats.

Delta, this mon is really great! Love a steel unaware recovery mon for this meta, especially with all the grounds. Nice Smoninja check!

Original Pokemon: Coalossal
New Pokemon: Soulossal
Type: Ghost/Dark
Abilities: Stakeout
Stats: 90/100/60/120/70/70 (Total: 510)
Weight: 250 lbs.
Movepool Changes:
+: Karmic Weights, Curse, Destiny Bond, Hex, Night Shade, Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw, Dark Pulse, Crunch, Bite, Beat Up, Assurance, Feint Attack, Foul Play, Knock Off, Nasty Plot, Pursuit, Snarl
-: Every Rock move with the exception of Ancient Power, every Fire move with the exception of Will-O-Wisp, every Ground move

Karmic Weights

A Ghost Status move that lowers the target's speed by one stage and doubles its weakness to Ghost-type moves. Normal type Pokemon hit by this move will take neutral damage from Ghost-type attacks. Functionally, it's Tar Shot but for Ghost types. 24 PP at max PP ups, 100% accuracy.

Flavor / Explanation: Soulossal is powered exclusively by the lingering regrets contained in the souls that possess it. It is ruthless in nature, hunting down those that the souls tell it to and judging them for their sins.
Competitive Role: Special attacker, through and through. Stakeout makes switching into Soulossal very risky. Karmic Weights can also break through Normal types.

looks really fun, karmic weights pursuit is funny but i dont see it using the move outside of a scenario where you REALLY want to break Furant.

Removals

- Meteor Beam
- Hammer Arm

Height: 1.6 m (5'03"
Flavor / Explanation:
Far North in the Sinnoh region, there was a Pokémon research lab on the outskirts of Snowpoint City. A myriad of scientists worked there, researching Pokemon with ties to meteorites, one of which was Metagross' evolutionary line. Around a year into research, a Minior grew out of control and destroyed the lab and it's inhabitants. While there were no supposed survivors, one of the Metagross went into deep hybernation and acquired it's Ice-typing as well as its name Metafrost. Once summer came around, Metafrost awoke from its slumber and was soon discovered by a local villager. Metafrost has a significantly lighter hue, almost snow white with tint of blue. It is completely engrossed in icicles and leaves trails of frost and snow as it walks.
Competitive Role:
Metafrost carves itself a niche as a wallbreaker with powerful STAB options like Blizzard and Freezing Glare. As an Ice-type it does wonders against the current Pokémon roster, beating opponents like Starizard, Smoninja, Sapras, Urthwyrm, and Arcamine. Additionally, with Snow Warning it has great synergy with Slush Rush Fweezing.

Removals

- Head Smash
- Liquidation
- Waterfall
- Razor Shell
- Rock Polish
- Shell Smash

Height: 1.0 m (3'03")
Flavor / Explanation:
Dreadnaw is seen burrowing in mountainous regions, creating a network of tunnels for hunting. It only appears above ground at midnight to prey on local Rattata and pretty much anything it can get it's claws on. Dreadnaw has distinct, pitch black claws that it uses burrowing and hunting. Dreadnaw has a long horn on it's head that it uses to aid in digging and spikes that appear across it's spine all the way down to the tail.
Competitive Role:
Dreadnaw is a potent wallbreaker and setup sweeper, which takes advantage of powerful STAB options like Crunch and Glaive Rush as well as a dangerous Hidden Ability in Tough Claws. Not much else to say about it, it has pretty nice move synergy with Swords Dance and Scale Shot. Additionally, it has access to utility like Stealth Rock, Taunt, and Dragon Tail but may seem suboptimal compared to it's more offensive movesets.

Gigantamax

Original Pokemon: Raichu

Competitive Role: Speedy Wallbreaker firing off nuclear Flare Blitz making the recoil worth using, or go for Nasty Plot set for Fire Blast / Flamethrower + Scald combo. Lightning Rod can be used to eliminate it’s Electric-type weakness at cost of power. It is fast enough to pressure Fweezing and is immune to Burn by virtue of it’s Fire-type, and STAB Fire discourage non-Slush Rush Ice-type Pokémon.

Two other subs might come latee

I like this Pokémon, metagame seems to have enough grounds for it to not be broken. GG.
awkward mon but i dont... hate it. special mons are something we have lots of

-All Dragon and Ground type moves sans Outrage, Fire Blast, Fire Fang, Stealth Rock
Role: Physical Wallbreaker
Flavor: black and red Garchomp, one of it's claws are fashioned to resemble it's mega evolution's Ax design, the other arm resembling a Spear. The Jet engine bits are gone and a Spartan mohawk war helmet design is in its place.

Warchomp is a very powerful wallbreaker that smacks hard with it's 125 Attack stat, and adds the very valuable role of a Pursuit trapper to the tier.

Will add more later, I just had to claim this idea

this mon looks really nice. good offensive presence and typing, pursuit trappers are cool, etc. GG.

Original Pokemon: Gyarados
New Pokemon: Gyrodos
Type: Steel / Electric
Abilities: Levitate
Stats: 95 HP / 125 Atk / 79 Def / 80 SpA / 100 SpD / 61 Spe BST 540
Weight: 419 kg

Subtractions: All Water Moves, All Flying Moves, All Ice Moves, All Fire Moves, All Dragon Moves
Height: 6.5 m
Flavor / Explanation: A large, metallic snake eating in the style of Ouroboros that looks strikingly similar to Gyarados. It is constantly spinning, slowly when idle and speeding up when attacking or moving quickly, and is hovering in the air. Instead of fins it has rods that conduct electricity that it generates by gyrating.
Competitive Role: A slow and powerful Coiler with a lot of defensive utility outside of setting up thanks to its typing and Levitate.


Original Pokemon: Beedrill
New Pokemon: Seadrill
Type: Water
Abilities: Water Bubble / Swift Swim
Stats: 75 HP / 77 Atk / 60 Def / 44 SpA / 60 SpD / 79 Spe BST 395

Height: 1 m
Flavor / Explanation: A large ant with its abdomen covered in a bubble. Its 2 front limbs are replaced with large needle-like limbs that shoot water. It stands on its hind legs like Beedrill, and is completely black with light blue eyes.
Competitive Role: A powerful wallbreaker, spamming extremely powerful Liquidations while also being able to pivot with U-Turn. Its just fast enough to be an offensive threat while notably being outsped by max speed base 80 Pokemon. It has surprising coverage that is notably weak due to its lowish 77 base Atk. While it has Swift Swim its probably too weak to do anything with it, but it is there as an option.


Original Pokemon: Centiskorch
New Pokemon: Centiscare
Type: Bug / Ghost
Abilities: Intimidate / Swarm / Unnerve
Stats: 95 HP / 115 Atk / 85 Def / 70 SpA / 105 SpD / 55 Spe BST 525

Subtractions: All Fire Moves except Will-o-Wisp
Height: 4 m
Flavor / Explanation: A large, long earwig with bright blue and wispy flames coming out of its face and tail to make the shape of a scary, grinning face. Across its body instead of circles it has a glowing purple skull under its head and through its body bone markings. While its markings are bright and blue, its body is dull and gray and, notably, its eyes are empty.
Competitive Role: A strong, bulky physical attacker with a relatively unique typing. With Intimidate it can switch into a lot of things and set up with Coil or spread status and pivot with U-Turn.

cool mon. can be both a coiler and probably also a scarfer? neat typing and its well thought for this ground meta.
Not sure on what this accomplishes when this is worse Soaperior. Maybe make it have something over that?
looks like a cool intim attacker. i enjoy it.

Competitive Role: Bulky Wall and hazard control mon. Checks Smoninja/Sapras/Soaperior/Starizard but has somewhat lackluster offensive presences despite Drizzle due to its middling special attack


Original Pokemon: Melmetal
New Pokemon: Melmolten (Melmetal + Molten)
Type: Fire/Steel

Stats: 114/107/93/107/72/107 (BST 600)

Molten Crash

Fire, Special, 95 BP, Physical if user's Atk > Sp. Atk. Ignores Abilities.

Nice breaker. Dont think its matchup into sapras is that bad, Just run THUNDER WAVE!!!!!
a poison mon is really valuable right now, especially if it has a way to break grounds. (notably arcamine in this case.
okay this is VERY cool. checked by mud but is a mon that can break sapras and stuff. i like it a lot.

Original Pokemon: Aerodactyl
New Pokemon: Aurodactyl

Height: 1.8 m (same as Aerodactyl)
Flavor / Explanation: Aurodactyl is made almost purely of gold. It is said that when it flew in sunlight long ago, its body glimmered with an array of colors and dazzled the prehistoric skies.
Competitive Role: Aurodactyl has a plethora of roles, ranging from Defog to Life Orb 3 attacks + Roost to even Choice items. While it doesn't have a pivoting move, Aurodactyl is more than able of keeping itself healthy and performing its role multiple times in a match, thanks to keeping Roost and having Heatproof as an Ability to remove one of its two weaknesses.

also I purposefully didn't give it Good as Gold, that Ability is stupid


Original Pokemon: Audino
New Pokemon: Undino

Height: 5.8 m
Flavor / Explanation: Undino are plesiosaur-like sea Pokemon that bear a resemblance to Audino. This kindhearted Pokemon will rescue people who are drowning, and use its control of water to lessen the impact of rough waters against boats.
Competitive Role: Wish and Flip Turn together would already be excellent, but Undino also has Regenerator to keep its own health up. Undino keeps Calm Mind from Audino as well, so a boosting set is possible too.


Original Pokemon: Garbodor

Barbwire Clothesline

Steel-type physical move, 70 BP, 90% accuracy, makes contact. If this move connects, the target will lose 1/8 of its max HP in addition to the damage dealt.

Height: 1.9 m (same as Garbodor)
Flavor / Explanation: Barbodeur sets itself apart from its close evolutionary cousin, Garbodor, by having its trash-bag exterior riddled and punctured with barbs. Fishing hooks, coat hangers, bits and pieces of steel--these are Barbodeur's prey.
Competitive Role: Barbodeur's main roles are either as a hazard setter, with every main type of hazards bar Sticky Web and a great defensive typing, or as an Iron Defense booster with Body Press. Barbodeur's base 105 Attack also lets it run more offensive sets if you want.

BASED AS FUCK. steel flying is an amazing typing. me like.
water regen is cool for this meta. actually any regen lol.
i dont like the sig move. damaging with 1/8 chip looks too much. maybe 1/16 or something?

i like my regen mons and this is based. i like this a lot

Original Pokémon: Gallade
New Pokémon: Gullblade
Stats: 88/95/85/55/115/80 (BST: 518)
Typing:

Abilities: Big Pecks / Sharpness / Gluttony
Height: 28 kg
Weight:
Movepool Changes:
+Roost, Defog, Brave Bird, Blade Wing*, Iron Head, Steel Wing
- psychic moves except Psycho Cut, fighting moves except Sacred Sword, electric moves, fire moves
Custom Elements: Blade Wing- Steel type Razor Shell
Flavor: its a seagull. its blade hands become sharp wings.
Role: oh boy a steel/flying. does sharpness things with an amazing defensive type. blade wing exists because i didn't want to give it behemoth blade.

actually cool Sharpness mon, i would like this on the meta.

Original Pokemon: Pinsir
New Pokemon: Pingsir
Type: Bug/Electric
Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Mold Breaker | Multiscale
Stats: 75/125/120/55/70/55
Weight: ligma balls idiot
Movepool Changes: + Zing Zap, First Impression, Megahorn, Recover, Thunder Wave, other random electric moves that have no relevance here
Justification: Computer bug. Weird offensive Pokemon with some pretty funky utility outside of just "breaker." Might be cool for anti-offensing stuff with Fimp or just breaking things with SD after you get in through Multiscale. Will want to sprite this if it wins.

Original Pokemon: Salamence
New Pokemon: Salaminte
Type: 105/115/100/100/90/110
Abilities: Intimidate / --- | Ice Body
Stats: Ice/Grass
Weight: i put type and stats in the wrong place in my 1 AM delirium and did not care to move them back if anyone wants to complain at me then they can refer to the above weight
Movepool Changes: + Wood Hammer, Leaf Blade, Mountain Gale, Icicle Spear, Ice Shard, Close Combat, Bulk Up, Knock Off, i'll toss some ice and grass flavor moves in here later
Justification: An arguably better stat spread than Salamence while keeping Intimidate, where's the catch? Well your typing now sucks defensively and you lost Dragon Dance in favor of Bulk Up. It took me a lot of deliberating and random tweaks to get this to a point where I was satisfied, I kept bouncing back and forth between broken and not broken and I think it's fine now. Do keep in mind that what is likely forced Boots will make this thing way weaker than it initially may seem to be.

for the coders who are removing moves

Breaking Swipe, Draco Meteor, Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rage, Dragon Rush, Dragon Tail, Ember, Fire Blast, Fire Fang, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Heat Wave, Incinerate, Outrage, Sunny Day, Twister

Since the other posts responding to this have been a bit unproductive, I'll respond as well. I've seen quite a few people before try to give something Wonder Guard and an actual HP stat and it's never really worked. Shedinja itself is not a bad Pokemon despite what its untiered status may tell you. In a bunch of tiers where stall is viable, Shedinja has seen fringe viability and often even tournament success, and removing a major weakness of such an extreme Pokemon is going to make something drastically better. Chip damage is essential to beating Shedinja and giving it even the slight ability to take those on is doing just that.

Counterplay to Shedinja is limiting and reactive enough that this is a weakness it needs to have for competitive balance. I can't speak for this mod's council but wouldn't be surprised if this got vetoed for that reason. The defensive typing would probably need changed in addition to the HP being reduced to 1 and probably Sleep Powder + Salt Cure being removed. U-Turn weakness really is not as big as it may seem because the stall teams you'd run this on don't care about losing momentum and not very many Pokemon in this micrometa even learn the move.

@ Everyone else reading this, let's avoid one-line responses, especially if it's just to clown on someone for no reason. Thanks!

Pingsir is... weird. Its definitely a good mon competitive-wise but idk, Multiscale Recover FImp are all going into different directions but they fit well here! i actually like this.
Salaminte has 620 BST when it should have 600. I like the mon, but not its typing lol.
also would like to break out of the review and say i really appreciate you replying to the Sceptical submission post, while this also reflects my entire thoughts about the sub it was also a good reply on itself. thanks!

I may aim a bit too high here, but I'll try it anyway.

Original Pokemon: Hatterene
New Pokemon: Batterene
Type:

Abilities: Battery | Sound Speed (HA)

Sound Speed

At full HP, this Pokemon's Sound-based moves have their priority increased by 1.

Stats: 57 / 90 / 115 / 96 / 123 / 29 [BST: 510]
Weight: 4.1 kg
Movepool Changes: + Aerial Ace, Boomburst, Defog, Echoed Voice, Fling, Fly, Foul Play, Gust, Heat Wave, Hone Claws, Hurricane, Hyper Voice, Knock Off, Nasty Plot, Night Slash, Parting Shot, Perish Song, Roost, Shock Wave, Snarl, Sucker Punch, Taunt, Teleport, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Thunder Punch, U-turn, Volt Switch
- Aromatic Mist, Calm Mind, Charm, Confusion, Dazzling Gleam, Expanding Force, Future Sight, Life Dew, Magic Powder, Magical Leaf, Misty Explosion, Misty Terrain, Psybeam, Psychic, Psychic Terrain, Psycho Cut, Psyshock, Stored Power

Height: 1.8 m
Flavor / Explanation: Batenna > Battrem > Batterene. Sonic Scream Pokemon. Batterene is a bat and also a battery. It furls its wings around its body, just like when bat sleeps I guess. The gray part of it glows yellow when it shares its power with others or vice versa.
Competitive Role: Priority user (Sound Speed and Sucker Punch) / Setup sweeper (SD and NP) / TR setter.

I like how this mon plays out as a mixed Contrary pokémon, basically doing what Lurantis did but not being a terrible mon.
SD sets here look good, not a big fan of form changes but this one is nice.
Batterene is a super clever name. Not a big fan of Sound Speed but it isnt broken at all.

Original Pokemon: Medicham
New Pokemon: Magicharm
Type: Fairy / Rock
Abilities: Magical Power / Healer (HA)
Stats: 60 / 40 / 85 / 70 / 85 / 70 | 410
Weight: 36.3 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Power Gem, Earth Power, Ice Beam, Flash Cannon, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Iron Defense
- All punching/cutting moves, all Fighting moves, Fake Out, Helping Hand, Taunt, Work Up
Flavor: Magicharm is a magical trinket, with the arms replaced with chains, as if it could go around your neck. The dots are replaced with shiny jewels, as with the eyes.
Role: Can be a special sweeper with Rock Polish or Choice Specs wallbreaker with an insanely high Sp. Atk stat when combined with its unique ability, on top of a very expansive movepool and good offensive typing. However, it is set back by its poor bulk and initial speed, combined with common weaknesses.

Magical Power

The user's Sp. Atk stat is doubled. Basically a special version of Pure Power.

Original Pokemon: Glalie
New Pokémon: Flalire
Type: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Flame Body / Levitate / Drought (HA)
Stats: 80 / 120 / 100 / 40 / 50 / 80
Weight: 268 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Sun Flare, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rock Blast, Will-O-Wisp, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish
- All Ice and Water type moves
Flavor: A fiery core surrounded with a sandy exterior. There’s less holes, and no longer any teeth, with a fiery open mouth instead. The horns are also removed. This makes it resemble a different species due to these physical differences.
Role: A more offensive Drought supporter, with a faster speed and much higher offensive presence than Torkoal, on top of a fantastic signature move. The extra Ground typing gives it a unique niche, while the normally devastating Water weakness is made less deadly by Drought. However, the mediocre speed and poor special bulk holds it back.

Sun Flare

Type: Fire
BP: 100
PP: 10
Accuracy: 100%
Explanation: Has a 30% chance to burn the target.

IMO remove Ice Beam and Earth Power. Magical Power 70 SpA reaches a crazy damage amount even with Scarf Timid sets and these moves push it over the edge (especially EP)
dont think it needs Ground as a type but its a good Drought mon, also has 10 more BST than what it should have.
Miasmamba looks like a fine defensive mon with EEater.

Original Pokémon: Beedrill
New Pokémon: Weedrill

- Assurance, Brutal Swing, Fury Attack, Knock Off, Payback, Pursuit, Rage, Thief, Throat Chop, Venoshock
Role: Contrary Overheat is bonkers. The downside is that these stats are only marginally better than Beedrill's.
Height: 1.0 m
Flavor: Did you know that bees are calmed by smoke. Evolves from Weeddle and Smokuna.

Original Pokémon: Urshifu-Single Strike & Rapid Strike
New Pokémon: Saurshifu-Tyrant Lizard & Wing Lizard

Role: Smoninja check (PLS). Rock/Flying is a cool bonus typing.
Height: 3.6 m
Flavor: dinosaur

hahaha weed. i appreciate that you actually gave it a niche outside of it being a meme though beedrills stats dont help it LOL
one of my favorite subs this slate. both signature STABs look really good (Terror Soar especially) and stats are also great. Nice that they can check smo well.

Flavour: Dinosaur Snorlax, slept too long during the dinosaur age, woke up in the metagame confused, chose violence. Past-paradox Snorlax with scales. Maybe stubby arms.
Competitive Role: Bulky special wall with offensive presence.


Original Pokemon: Orbeetle
New Pokemon: Orneedle
Type: Steel
Abilities: Levitate/-/Iron Barbs
Stats: 70/45/110/80/120/80
Weight: 122.4 kg (269.7 lbs) 3x original weight
Height: same as regular Orbeetle
Movepool Changes:
+ Stealth Rocks, Spikes, Flash Cannon, Iron Head, Rapid Spin, Pin Needle, Mystical Fire
- Bug Buzz, Struggle Bug, Infestation, Sticky Web, Leech Life, Shadow Ball, all Psychic moves except Reflect, Light Screen, Magic Coat, Rest, Trick Room, and Agility
Flavour: Ladybug with needles on its back, metallic shell.
Competitive Role: Corviknight with hazards or Ferrothorn with recovery, basically a bulky support Steel-type.


Original Pokemon: Lopunny
New Pokemon: Lopyree
Type: Fire/Ghost
Abilities: Flash Fire/Iron Fist/Cursed Body
Stats: 65/96/74/54/86/105
Weight: 16.6 kg (37.2 lbs) half original weight
Height: 1.2m
Movepool Changes: Reworked

movepool

Agility, Assurance, Attract, Aura Sphere, Charm, Confide, Double Kick, Encore, Endeavor, Endure, Entrainment, Facade, Fake Tears, Fire Blast, Fire Lash, Fire Punch, Fire Spin, Flail, Flamethrower, Flame Charge, Fling, Focus Blast, Giga Impact, Heal Bell, Hyper Beam, Last Resort, Low Kick, Payback, Phantom Force, Play Rough, Rest, Reversal, Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, Shadow Sneak, Sleep Talk, Spirit Shackle, Substitute, Sunny Day, Switcheroo, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Thunder Punch, U-turn, Will-O-Wisp

Flavour: You know those witch trials? Yeah. It is very upset with what they did to its physical body. Ghostly bunny with raggedy fur.
Competitive Role: Offensive physical attacker, could work as a semi-trapper with Spirit Shackle. Hopefully a low attack and poor bulk is enough to balance the power and utility of Fire Lash and Spirit Shackle. Gets checked by Soaperior, Smoninja, and Arcamine, walled to some extent by Urthwyrm.

Saurlax is GREAT. Good defensive pure Dragon mons tend to be very nice and youve got it right.
Nice defensive presence. Both abilities are very useful and it has recovery.
If this didn't have Fire Lash and Spirit Shackle this would be very mid. I really like the trapping+lash combo here.

Original Pokemon: Sandaconda
New Pokemon: Saltaconda
Type:

Abilities: Moxie / Anger Point / Shed Skin
Stats: 107/115/82/71/65/70
Weight: heavier
Movepool Changes: +Salt Cure, Gunk Shot, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes, Sludge Wave, Sludge, Toxic, Knock Off, Snarl, Parting Shot, Slack Off, Rock Polish

Height: same as original
Flavor / Explanation: its literal salt, but also very salty. and a venomous snake.
Competitive Role: offensive salt cure user, with pivoting in parting shot, also has knock off, and slack off for healing. can also be a sweeper with a doubledance set.

I think you could remove Slack Off tbh and then buff SpD a little. Salt Cure with recovery and good bulk is kinda toxic but it's also not unbearable so it's fine anyways.

 

[woo]

Sub Review Post PART 2

Oh! Sorry for missing voting last slate! Congrats to the winners!

For now, in this slate, I have only one idea:

Original Pokemon: Lopunny
New Pokemon: Sandunny
Type: Ground/Fairy
Abilities: Cute Charm / Huge Power
Stats: 75/60/90/54/90/111
Weight: same
Movepool Changes:

- All Fighting-type moves, except High Jump Kick.

+ Draining Kiss, Dazzling Glam, Earth Power, Earthquake, High Horsepower, Bulldoze, Sandtomb, Sandstorm, Stealth Rock, Rock Slide, Rock Blast.

Height: same as original

Flavor / Explanation: A cute desert bunny. Evolves from Bunearid.

Competitive Role: Ground/Fairy is an epic offensice combo. Ground is able to hit hard everything Fairy is afraid: Poison, Fire and Steel. This typing combo can hit 7 different types with super effective damage.

With this, Huge Power and good speed tier, Sandunny looks like an excelent choiced pivot, be it Scarf or Band. Usually U-Turn, Play Rough and Earthquake are necessary. The last slot is the coverage you want it to have. HJK, Triple Axel, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Switcheroo... Many options are viable!

The typing is also balanced deffensively. 4 weaknesses (Ice, Grass, Water and Steel), 4 resistances (Fighting, Dark, Bug, Rock) and 2 really important immunities in Dragon and Electric. So Sandunny has the opportunity to come in predicted attacks, even blocking Volt Switches or comming into choiced Dragons/Outrages.

I would lower Speed a little. This looks too fast for a Huge Power 60 Atk mon, maybe do 101?

Original Pokemon: Scizor
New Pokemon: Fiszor
Type:
Ground / Steel
Abilities: Sharpness / Sheer Force / Sand Force
Stats: 70 / 110 / 120 / 30 / 100 / 50
Weight: 300 lbs
Movepool Changes:

+ Earthquake, Bulldoze, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Stone Edge
- Bug Bite, Dual Wingbeat

Flavor / Explanation: Scizor but taller and blockierwith excavator hands.
Competitive Role: Bulky ground type that can set hazards. Hits less hard than normal scizor but has Sheer Force to counteract that

sub is fine, what i dont like here is bulky ground number 3 (and ground number 4). maybe change typing? it is still fine though ofc

Original Pokemon: Garchomp

New Pokemon: Carchomp

Type: Steel/Ground

Abilities: Heavy Metal/Slow Start/Speed Boost

Stats: 108/120/115/105/101/51
Weight: 190 KG (2x normal weight, it’s heavy)
Height: Half of regular Garchomp
Movepool Changes:
+ Spin Out, Headlong Rush, Shift Gear, Iron Defense, Body Press, Rollout, Rapid Spin, Flash Cannon, Facade, Knock Off, Close Combat, Heavy Slam, U-Turn
- Poison Jab, Stealth Rock, Swords Dance, Fling, Surf, Draco Meteor, Scorching Sands, Whirlpool, Twister, Fly, Dragon Tail
Flavour:
Dex Entry 1: Carchomp looks very similar to Cyclizar, and also can be ridden. However, it is not recommended since while it is much faster, it has less control.
Dex Entry 2: Carchomp is normally sluggish, but when it releases the wheels on its legs it can move up to 200 Kilometers per Hour. Rival Carchomp will race for territory, and the faster Carchomp wins.
Prevos: Cible, Cabite

Competitive Role: Ground/Steel type alternative to Iron Treads and Excadrill that has some sweeping potential as well. Can run mixed sets as well as Physical sets, and is bulkier than normal Garchomp but initially slower. Speed Boost is such a powerful ability and Shift Gear is a very powerful move, but a lack of Swords Dance and -10 Atk should hopefully be enough to balance it out. The idea is a defensive pokemon that can utilize Speed Boost to become offensively threatening.

Ideas: Might be a bit underpowered, so potentially add Recover and Sheer Force or another ability.

No this is NOT underpowered. Speed Boost Shift Gear helps it ignore its otherwise awful speed tier and be faster than the entire meta. It also has enough bulk to live 1 or 2 hits in the process, and then it just Headlong Rushes everyone. Would probably remove Speed Boost.

(Drawing coming soon!)
Original Pokemon: Centiskorch
New Pokemon: Centiskalm
Type: Psychic/Bug
Abilities: Dazzling/Regenerator | Magic Guard
Stats: 120/85/80/95/85/60 (525)
Weight: 90kg
Movepool Changes:
-All Fire type moves exept Will-o-Wisp and Sunny Day, Smokescreen, Bite, Coil, Slam, Crunch, Lunge, Solar Beam, Thunder Fang, Venoshock, Brutal Swing, X-Scissor, Power Whip, Scorching Sands, Knock Off, Rollout

+Psyshock, Psychic, Zen Headbutt, U-Turn, Extrasensory, Dazzling Gleam, Psybeam, Silver Wind, Confusion, Tera Blast, Fairy Wind, Disable, Night Shade, Light Screen, Destiny Bond, Safeguard, Hypnosis, Rain Dance, Mirror Coat, Wish, Calm Mind, Psychic Terrain, Light Trick

Light Trick

Type: Psychic
Category: Status
BP: -
Acc: 100%
PP: 15
Effect: Drops the speed of the opposing pokemon, then switches out
Priority: -
Flags: Protect, Magic Bounce/Mirror Coat

Flavor:
Centiskorch, but it floats and has gamer lights around it :)
"It doesnt like to engage in fights, so when attacked, it liberates multiple blinding lights around it to blind its attacker and escape"
"The lights it creates liberates strange powder that amplifies psychic abilities, the powder is normaly used in charms, and in spoons for some reason"
Name comes from Centiskorch + Calm
It evolves from Mysstipede
Competitive Role:
A pivot that has great abilities and moves, but mid defenses and bad defensive typing, but with good ofensive synergy, Bug being able to hit the Dark and Psychic types that resist or are straight up inmune to Psychic, and Psychic being able to attack the Fighting and Poison that Bug cant deal much damage against, Dazzling makes it inmune to Smoninja's Smoke Shuriken and Arcamine's Accelerock, Regenerator is an overall good pivoting ability, and Magic Guard helps with its SRock weakness as well as being able to switch into Toxic's and Will-o-Wisp's and being able to fire off its own Will-o-Wisp's as well as Scald, and can help slower mons from its team to switch in with Light Trick

(Drawing also coming soon!)
Original Pokemon: Banette
New Pokemon: Burnette
Type: Dark/Fire
Abilities: Fluffy/Flame Body | Levitate
Stats: 50/30/60/110/80/125 (455)
Weight: 4kg
Movepool Changes:
-Knock Off, Night Shade, Shadow Sneak, Role Play, Phantom Force, Trick, Psybeam, Thief, Trailbraze, Pounce, Charge Beam, Icy Wind, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Shadow Claw, Foul Play, Dazzling Gleam, Thunder Wave, Swords Dance, Skill Swap, Gunk Shot, Psychic, Calm Mind, Helping Hand, Trick Room, Thunder

+Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Fiery Wrath, Mystical Fire, Ember, Fire Spin, Torment
Flavor:
Banette, but it stayed too much time inside the microwave
"Long ago, the spirit of an unknown pokemon took control of this doll to try and communicate with the people of an unknown town, the people feared the doll, so they burned it with the spirit still inside"

"It hides its real body inside the doll it lives in, when a traveler goes near it, it will spook it by going out of the doll in a blast of flames"
Doesnt have preevo
Name comes from Bannete + Burn
Competitive Role:
Fast and frail special attacker, outspeeds Smoninja, can punish physical attacks with Flame Body, and gets one of its weaknesses removed with Levitate, and can be a tiny bit more defensive with Fluffy, over all because of its poor hp stat, gets easily shut down by special walls and paralyzis, even with Fluffy, its pretty weak versus physical attacks, over all because of being weak to Rock, Ground and Fighting, three of the main physically attacking types

Resub time hehe

Weight: 80kg
Flavor / Explanation: This Pokemon helps humans by using its giant head claw to demolish old buildings, or destroy trees in the way of new ones, with its inmense strengh it can brute force through the hardest of steels. Name comes from Heracross/Heracles + Bulldoze/Bulldozer
Competitive Role: Wallbreaker, Physically Offensive Attacker, Spikes Setter, Earthquake Pivot

Looks actually really interesting as a Regen mon! Also enables slow wallbreakers with Light Trick. Personally a fan.
I like that it has a good offensive presence, also helps the meta with 2 fresh new types.
you know i love this mon. EEater on this makes an otherwise mid ass typing good. Mold Breaker also looks promising!

Height: same as original
Flavor / Explanation: noble gas dinosaur cloud(?)
Competitive Role: yk what this can do. attacks. a lot of those. SFLO 3 attacks + recover or just 4 attacks and death

has an AMAZING Defensive presence. i'd probably make it a special wall though, since the metagame needs more of those and itd be a pretty awesome Soaperior check.
good bulky pivot. i like the 120 Atk here and it having Protean is certainly fun.
i appreciate the care and the thought put in the stats to work with SF. Regardless, Nice SFLO mon.

Original Pokemon: Camerupt
New Pokemon: Cormerust (Corrode+Camel+Rust)
Type: Poison/Steel

Weight: 156,8kgs

*Venom Sap: 90bp | 100% Accuracy | 10PP (16 max) | Special | Poison | User recovers 50% of the damage dealt.

Height: 1.9m
Flavor / Explanation: Evolved from Cormel, Cormerust is a veteran of battle, having survived countless encounters with its thick iron-like skin having been corroded and rusted over the course of many battles. It can shoot an acidic liquid from the humps on its back.
Competitive Role: Bulky Steel with Rocks and Tspikes as well as the ability to cripple enemies with Corrosive Gas and Toxic. It has a pretty wide movepool to try to surprise opponents with moves like Acid Armor or Metal Burst. Its utility generally boils down to setting hazards and using Toxic, Clear Smog and Corrosive Gas. Like most Steels, it lacks reliable recovery, though Cormerust can try to stay somewhat healthy with Purify and especially Venom Sap. While both have their flaws, added longevity is always welcome. It can check Smoninja pretty well and can do decently into Soaperior thanks to Water Compaction handling its physical sets better. It fears the many ground types the format currently has, though.


Original Pokemon: Corviknight
New Pokemon: Corvisleight (Corvid+Sleight of hand)
Type: Flying/Dark
Abilities: Prankster/Pickpocket/(Klutz)
Stats: 98/87/105/53/85/67
Weight: 30kgs
Replacing entire movepool
Viable Moves: Agility, Brave Bird, Bulk Up, Counter, Defog, Foul Play, Knock Off, Roost, Parting Shot, Power Trip, Sucker Punch, Switcheroo, Taunt, U-Turn, Whirlwind, Will-O-Wisp, Gen 9 Universal moves (No Return, Toxic or Hidden Power)

Height: 2.1m
Flavor / Explanation: Corvisleight looks deceptively similar to Corviknight, lives in the same regions and even acts similarly to it, taking people on flying taxis. However, Corvisleight actually tries to trick people into thinking it's a Corviknight and uses their lowered guard as an opportunity to pocket their wealth or put them in dangerous situation. When it's not on the job, Corvisleight will play tricks it considers harmless, such as causing avalanches and rock slides, though it will sometimes impress people with its tricks.
Competitive Role: Despite having the same stat spread and a shared typing, Corvisleight takes a different role than the pokemon it's based on. While it can still work as a bulky pivot with Defog, Flying/Dark makes its bulk look much less impressive as it has more weaknesses, fewer resistances and wants to use boots to avoid Stealth Rocks. As such, Corvisleight will draw from its bag of tricks to cripple opponents, using moves like Knock Off or Will-O-Wisp. Its annoyance abilities are made stronger by Prankster, allowing it to fire off a Wisp, Taunt or Roost before the opponent can prevent them and Parting Shot can make it incredibly hard to get a grasp on. Its Ghost and Psychic resistances are also relevant in the current meta and make it work nicely as a specially-oriented wall. Using this same specially defensive set, it can make great use of Bulk Up to become a win condition and even pair it with Agility and Power trip to become a dangerous sweeper. I think I've said enough to show that Corvisleight has many tools at its disposal. However, Corvisleight has its weaknesses. Namely, it's a Dark resistance that doesn't want to take a Knock Off, not to mention it can't even use its status moves against Dark types if using Prankster, they can even block its Defog. It's pretty much helpless against Dark types. Its bulk is also not impressive enough to shrug off strong neutral hits. Overall, it's an interesting bulky support option, but one that might not be the easiest to use to its full potential.

yeah rn the meta doesnt really favor it. but If you are looking for a soaperior check you could potentially run that.
non-passive Knock Off with Roost sounds good. prankster PShot is also really interesting.

In the next installment of birds becoming bugs, it’s time to butcher my favorite Pokémon

Buzzika (W.I.P.)

Name Origin: Buzz(y) + Zika (disease carried by mosquitoes)
Type: Bug / Dark
Abilities: Swarm, Trace
Stats:
Weight: ask your mom
New Moves: U-Turn, First Impression, Leech Life, X-Scissor, Bug Bite, Jaw Lock
Removed Moves:
Flavor/Explanation: Ok give me a second to explain the flavor of these abilities because holy shit these are wacky. Swarm’s kinda self explanatory, but did you know that mosquitos suck your blood to utilize your DNA to have children? Using that DNA usage fact I decided to give the mon Trace. (Torquito —> Combuzzken —> Buzzika)

FINISH YOU'RE SUB

Aerxolotl

Original Pokemon: Aerodactyl
New Pokemon: Aerxolotl
Type: Water/Flying
Abilities: Pressure/Gooey (Hidden: Unnerve)
Stats: 80/105/65/60/75/130 (unchanged)
Weight: 130.1 lbs
Movepool Changes:
Removed: Bulldoze, Earth Power, Earthquake, Meteor Beam, Rock Blast, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Rock Smash, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Smack Down, Stone Edge
Added: Aqua Cutter, Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring, Blizzard, Brine, Bubble Beam, Chilling Water, Dive, Flip Turn, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Liquidation, Liquidation, Surf, Water Gun, Waterfall, Wave Crash

Height: 5'11"
Flavor / Explanation: It has the same wings as an Aerodactyl, but its head, tail, and most of its body all somewhat resemble those of a Wooper. Aerxolotl was revived from a piece of Old Amber that contained DNA from multiple other Pokemon in addition to Aerodactyl. It is much better at swimming than it is at flying, but isn't particularly good at either.

Machomp

Original Pokemon: Machamp
New Pokemon: Machomp
Type: Fighting/Rock
Abilities: Guts/Gluttony (Hidden: Earth Eater)
Stats: 90/130/80/65/85/55 (unchanged)
Weight: 286.6 lbs
Movepool Changes:
Added: Head Smash, Meteor Beam, Rock Wrecker, Stealth Rock, Gaping Bite (Rock-type clone of Leech Life)

Height: 5'03"
Flavor / Explanation: Machomp has a mouth at the end of each of its arms (which are really necks), and its body is less muscular than a Machamp. It eats through the sides of cliffs by launching its necks at them as if it were punching them, which both satisfies its hunger and provides a place for it to sleep.

fast water does look promising but its still got Flying STAB issues, idk.
Guts Rock/Fighting is something not even Smoninja can carefully switch in. I like this.

Stats: 100/110/105/60/95/60

i dont really like grounds right now but this is one i can get behind, it's really cool.
meh. i dont think it would even use Prankster outside of SD, but it is a potent SD sweeper.
Interesting Shift Gear sweeper. Levitate doesnt look needed here and just makes it a pain to deal with.

Original Pokemon: Swampert
New Pokemon: Swarmert
Type: Bug / Steel
Abilities: Swarm / Analytic
Stats: 100 / 110 / 90 / 75 / 70 / 90 {BST: 535}
Weight: 68 kg
Movepool Changes:

• + First Impression, X-Scissor, U-turn, Iron Head, Meteor Mash, Spikes
• - All Water and Ground moves

Height: idk
Flavor / Explanation: Has some more bug-like features due to being based on the giant water bug with some steel plating. Some bugs have adapted to suit wet environments quite well similar to other animal species.
Competitive Role: Bulky pivot good both offensively and defensively due to the typing and Analytic. Iron Defense / Bulk Up sets with Body Press are possible too

maybe more to come?

neat spikes setter and pivot. Analytic FImp on a switching check deals a ton. looks fun.

Drednaw --> Breadnaw
Fairy/Poison
Gluttony / Shell Armor / Anticipation
80/85/105/98/43/74
(-10 HP, -30 Atk, +50 SpAtk, +15 Def -25 SpDef)

Gains: Play Rough, Acid Spray, Belch, Strange Steam, Power Trip, Stuff Cheeks, Poison Fang, Corrosive Gas, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Spikes, Pain Split

Loses: All Water moves, All Rock moves, Earthquake/High Horsepower, Megahorn, Swords Dance, Scale Shot, Ice Beam, Ice Spinner, Superpower

Flavor: This is no Well-Baked confection: this is a moldy, stale chunk of bread that you can only begin to salvage when you crack open the rock hard crust with a Shell Smash. It will only activate its stench once it has a foe in trapped in a Jaw Lock, using the overbearing smell to dissuade anything from stealing its prey.

Role: Shell Smasher with a highly unique offensive type setup. It can deal damage with mixed offenses, and even without STAB, Power Trip that can break it through Unaware foes. It notably can also bait out many of its natural counters with sets that trap with Jaw Lock combined with Toxic, letting Breadnaw take out or cripple high priority targets.

reminds me of Polteageist, with smash PTrip. i would give it Sludge Bomb though.
