- all Rock moves except Rock Slide and Power Gem, all Ground moves, all Dragon moves, Lash Out, Assurance, Toxic
Flavour: Sparky Archeops.
Role: Zapdos-like hazard control, helps to check Grounds and Fightings. Thought it would be cool to have a physical Flying type, since we don't have those yet.

and lastly, Gaboswampert with Mielmetal!

Original Pokemon: Melmetal
New Pokemon: Mielmetal
Type: Bug/Steel
Stats: 105/115/95/95/95/95
Abilities: Honey Gather | Honey Fists

Honey Fists

When the user uses a STAB move, the user heals 1/8 of the damage dealt

Weight: Same
Moves:
-Double Iron Bash, Dynamic Punch, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, High Horsepower, Darkest Lariat, Thunder Wave

+Meteor Mash, Bug Buzz, First Impression, Body Slam, Leech Life, Crunch, Poison Jab, X-Scissor, U-Turn, Magnet Bomb, Bug Bite, Swords Dance
Flavor:
Melmetal made out of honey :), honey is miel in spanish, so thats why its called Mielmetal, evolves from Mieltan
Competitive Description:
A great bulky wallbreaker and sweeper, with access to many STAB and coverage moves like Iron Head, Meteor Mash, First Impression, Leech Life, U-Turn, Thunder Punch, Crunch and Poison Jab, and boosting in Swords Dance, it also has some amazing longevity with its decent defenses and Honey Fists, which comboes amazingly with Leftovers, Leech Life, and specially First Impression and U-Turn, dealing a lot of damage with priority and healing at the same time, or healing a little bit before switching out, but it has some big drawbacks, it doesnt have as much atk as other sweepers, so it struggles with dealing a lot of damage without Swords Dance, it also doesnt have a lot of speed comparing it to other sweepers, and aside from First Impression, it doesnt have any other priority moves, it also has a hard time with the meta, since its full of fire types

Mielmetal tied with Goldenglow so we did a tiebreaker, congratulations to the winners! While we plan for the next slate, feel free to discuss the mons and the metagame. Don't forget to join the Discord for discussions too!

 

[G-Luke]

Thoughts before next slate happens

Mirroar - I don't find hazard control that problematic rn, but this thing can be useful on fat teams, particularly any fledgling stall builds that may want to come up.

Sparkeops - A fine Pokémon. Solid typing stats and a respectful Movepool.....only one problem. Why would give it Rocky Payload as an ability option and remove all of the good Rock type moves? Rock Slide is a pathetic physical STAB option, and Power Gem is way too weak to justify running it as a special option over something like Thunderbolt Heat Wave U-turn Roost. Feels like a wasted ability slot imo, Volt Absorb all the way.

Mielmetal - Strong offensive pivot thanks to it's ability to regularly heal off alot of damage via spamming it's STABs. I expect it to be a solid threat in our metagame.

Right now, I think our metagame has reached a point of stability between the 3 main forms of play (Offense, Bulky Offense and Balance), and can now afford to start diversifying into other playstyles and avenues like weather, Stall, Terrain and Hyper Offense, among other niche styles of play. This helps keeps the meta fresh and it doesn't devolve into boring RPS matches between the big three. I look forward to seeing what people can come up with!

Is Rotom supposed to be listed twice?

Good catch, it isn’t yeah. Rotom will be only legal to be subbed for PU subs this slate. Also Decidueye isn’t legal for subs in PU, that was a leftover from when we were planning the slate and it was missed just to clarify that too. My bad, it will be edited.

​

NU -

Flavor: Color-washed Rotom surrounded by salt crystals instead of electricity​

edit: decided to bump the stats up to that of the appliance forms - 440 just feels too low to ever be good. Also I put Salt Cure down as Purifying Salt lol, so I had to fix that​

Competitive: Ground / Fire + Vessel of Ruin = success. Bitter Blade just adds to the effect, making it pretty capable of sustaining itself, even without strict reliable recovery. Capable of pivoting, setting Spikes and Toxic Spikes, spreading burns, even potentially acting as a wincon with Curse.

 

[Loginator]

Original Pokemon: Revavroom
New Pokemon: Revavboom
Type: Rock / Fire
Abilities: Aftermath / Filter (HA)
Stats: 80 / 39 / 90 / 119 / 67 / 105 | 500
Weight: 111 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Explosive Rocks, Overheat, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Boomburst, Earth Power, Flare Blitz, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, Explosion, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish
- All Poison-type moves, all Steel-type moves
Flavor: A giant wagon carrying a load of explosives! The main vehicle is flaming coal rocks now, while the engine is gone in place of a wooden wagon-like base, with parts of it burning.
Competitive Role: Extremely strong wallbreaker and offensive pivot. with a terrifying STAB combination. This combined with Earth Power hits the entire tier at least neutrally, and also has Boomburst for strong neutral coverage. It breaks apart many Pokemon like Sapras, Taranitar, Mielmetal, and Appleton. Its access to Parting Shot also allows it to gain momentum effectively. However, its poor special bulk means special offensive threats can easily take it out. Its typing is also filled with weaknesses that are problematic even with Filter.

Explosive Rocks

Type: Rock
BP: 120
PP: 15
Accuracy: 100%
Category: Special
Explanation: Causes 1/3 recoil damage.

Original Pokemon: Eelektross
New Pokemon: Hallutross
Type: Dragon / Flying
Abilites: Regenerator
Stats: 105 / 65 / 100 / 115 / 80 / 50 | 515
Weight: 93.5 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Draco Meteor, Hurricane, Air Slash, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, Outrage, Dual Wingbeat, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Dragon Dance, Defog, Roost, Haze, Will-O-Wisp, Nasty Plot
- All Electric-type moves besides Thunder and Thunderbolt, all Poison-type moves, Giga Drain, Close Combat
Flavor: A giant wyvern-like dragon representing your worst hallucinations. The fins are all replaced with fierce wings and sharped claws and is overall more dragon-like, but with a similar color scheme and body shape.
Competitive Role: Its solid defensive typing, great bulk, and access to wisp makes it a solid physical wall. Access to both Roost and Regenerator gives it a lot of longetitivity. Its not passive either with a high SpA stat and wide arrange of coverage options. However, its weak to Stealth Rock and has an annoying 4x weakness to Ice.


Original Pokemon: Snowgoat
New Pokemon: Gogoat
Type: Ice / Ground
Abilites: Sap Sipper / Snow Warning (HA)
Stats: 123 / 100 / 62 / 57 / 81 / 108 | 531
Weight: 98 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Triple Axel, Icicle Crash, Ice Spinner, Close Combat, Megahorn, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Freeze-Dry, Earth Power, Focus Blast, Snowscape, Aurora Veil, Stealth Rock, Taunt
- All Grass-type moves except Horn Leech
Flavor: A big huge mountain goat covered in snow instead of grass! Its horns are a bit shorter to resemble a mountain goat more.
Competitive Role: Snow setter for Fweezing. Its access to both Aurora Veil and Snow Warning can help set up a Fweezing sweep, or just help its teammates in general. Taunt can also stop other leads and defensive Pokémon. Its also not deadweight with its fantastic speed, decent attack, strong STABs, and fantastic offensive typing. It can even do its own offensive sets. Its huge snow-boosted bulk and reliable recovery prevents it from being taken down too easily despite its poor defensive typing. However, outside of snow, its physical bulk leads a lot to be desired. Its typing still does not do many favors for it defensively.

Role: Slow QD sweeper. Multiscale gives it one turn to set up and sweep, but it's still slow and revenge-able. Poor coverage hampers its sweeping abilities, being unable to touch the Steels, but it still fires off strong hits and can take a few hits.

Original Pokemon: Grafaiai
New Pokemon: Gravboa
Type: Rock
Abilities: Unburden | Wind Rider | Sand Stream
Stats: 68/115/77/30/80/115
Weight: 0.5 kg
Movepool Changes:
+ Stone Edge, Stealth Rock, Spikes, Accelerock, Play Rough
- Poison moves, Rain Dance, Doodle
Flavor: These rodent Pokémon are often found in the desert riding on sandstorms they've somehow created. This causes them to leave pieces of gravel all over areas of the desert.
Competitive: Mainly a sandstorm setter that can enable Arcamine to be hella stupid (105 speed boosted by Sand Rush will be insane for real). Gravboa itself has utility in hazards, Knock Off and U-Turn, while having coverage to deal with opposing Steel types besides Mielmetal in Low Kick. If you want, you could go for an Unburden set with Swords Dance instead.

others soon wahoo

[fratelli bc]

Original Pokemon: Gardevoir
New Pokemon: Gardenoir
Type: Normal/Dark
Abilities: Bulletproof / Overcoat | Infiltrator
Stats: 68/65/65/125/80/115 (518 BST)
Weight/Height: do this if this wins
Movepool Changes:

Movepool reworked. Uses Alolan-Persian's moveepool as base.

Removed: Gunk Shot, Play Rough, Seed Bomb, Power Gem, Burning Jealousy.
Added: Camouflage, Copycat, Focus Energy, Stealth Blast*

*Custom Element - Stealth Blast
Normal-type. 100 BP. Special. 100% Accuracy. 5 PP. Hit foes. Breaks through protect (and clones).
The user surprises it's targets detonating hidden gadgets that releases massive magical energy. This attack is so unexpected that it can't be avoided by protection.

Flavor: Noir spies. Those old black and white spy movies also. Gardenoir just looks like gardevoir came from the 30s and is using beige/brown an overcoat and spy hat.
Pre-evo trivia: Rout > Spyrlia > Gardenoir. Same typing and abilities. A little scout > agent in trainning > special agent - the noir spy.

Competitive: Nasty Plost sweeper, revenge killer with scarf or specs breaker. Abilities are just ok and typing + stats looks manageable in this meta. Custom move hits really hard but still a normal-type move blocked by ghosts, resisted by steels and hitting nothing for super effective damage. Not that beeing blocked by ghosts is a problem for it's other type tho.

==================


Original Pokemon: Jolteon
New Pokemon: Jadeon
Type: Rock
Abilities: Natural Cure | Regenerator
Stats: 95/65/65/130/60/110 (525 BST)
Weight/Height: do this if this wins
Movepool Changes:

Movepool Reworked: Uses Eevee's movepool as base

Additions: Verdant Shards*, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Sandstorm, Wide Guard, Accelerock, Power Gem, Meteor Beam, Ancient Power, Rock Blast, Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Smack Down, Stone Edge, Head Smash, Earthquake, Earth Power, Iron Head, Body Press, Heal Pulse, Healing Wish, Heal Bell, Recover, U-Turn.

No removals.

*Custom Element - Verdant Shards
120 BP. Special. Rock-type. 100% Accuracy. 5 PP. Hit Foe. -1 Def and SpDef. (Rock-type Armor Cannon copy)
The user gathers energy and scatters magical jade shards at the target, dealing massive damage to the target. This also decreases the user's defense and special defense.

Flavor: Rock-type eeveelution based on jade, the famous green mineral associated with purifying and healing powers in some cultures (abilities and all the healing moves added came from this flavor). It's body is made of polished jade, and has a beautiful green tone (shiny is red - red jade).
Pre-evo trivia: Evolves from eevee when holding a jade stone while trading.

Competitive: Specially-oriented rock-type that is fast for this meta. Abilities are just supportive and helps it's survivability, since despite having high HP, defenses are really lame and it really want to spam custom move. Coverage is also just ok for it, Earth Power and Shadow Ball are the only things it has going for. Probably is good using calm mind sets with LO, or AV sets just like Mienshao does. Supportive/Suicide Lead sets are also viable, specially with Healing Wish and/or somewhat fat 95 HP wishes paired with fast U-Turns and Regenerator.

==================


Original Pokemon: Golduck
New Pokemon: Gorduck
Type: Water/Dark
Abilities: No Guard / Swift Swim | Moxie
Stats: 70/115/60/95/55/105 (500 BST)
Weight/Height: do this if this wins
Movepool Changes:

+ Wave Crash, Knock Off, Foul Play, Pursuit, Bite, Lash Out, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Snarl, Ice Spinner
- Hypnosis, Psychic, Psyshock, Future Sight.

Flavor: Mad and agressive golduck, like a crazy goose. Eyes are red, the gem on forehead becomes a third eye and the main colour is grey.
Pre-evo trivia: Split evolution of Psyduck by leveling up with low friendship at night.

Competitive: Rain or moxie sweeper. While there is no Drizzle user, i guess it will be better of abusing Moxie with it's good stab combo. No Guard also gives it 100% accurate Dynamic Punch. 95 SpA is passable and abuse better No Guard by having Nasty Plot, Blizzard, Focus Blast and Hydro Pump, but lacks dark-type power.
