Competitive Role: cool mixed wall. Checks condorus, iron avian, taranitar, roseroast, and more, sets rocks n spikes and pivots out to a scary teammate or uses those turns to threaten things itself, since its coverage is really good and 114 spatk is good enough to fire off some nice dracos, being the strongest in the tier atm.

Looks very mediocre. Doesn't hit hard enough even with Triage and has no coverage for Grass types. Would buff spA up to 102 or so and give it coverage for Grass-types.
This looks like a very strong Meteor Beamer overall, although I would give it some way to hit Steels (most likely Aura Sphere) to make it not completely deadweight vs. them. Overall a fan.
Looks solid. Should fit nicely into the meta while not being too difficult to beat even with no recoil Brave Birds, seems like a great HO lead too. Not much to say here, just a good sub overall.
Seems extremely good at making progress, I could see this possibly being borderline broken especially with reliable recovery alongside its current bulk. I'd lower the HP by 10/15 points and put the points into Attack (harder hitting U-Turns are a nice consolation for losing some bulk imo) just to make it a bit easier to remove. With said changes, I think I will really enjoy this sub.
This one is solid as well. Fits well into the meta and should be a good addition. Similarly to Pohaku, not much to add here, just a solid sub overall.
Vetoed. 138/135 offenses are crazy and would make this far too strong especially with its great STABs and coverage. You're likely gonna need to lower attack by around 30 points or so to make it balanced, although I'd recommend giving it a different typing than Electric / Fighting since we already have Zapoark, I'd recommend one of Dark / Fighting, Ice / Fighting, or Rock / Fighting personally.
Sig actually seems pretty mediocre with this mon's access to Earthquake (Tough Claws is generally better than SJaw on this mon as it boosts both STABs. I'd give this slightly more speed (10 points) and give it U-Turn and coverage to hit Flying types to allow it to be a solid pivot.
Seems very mediocre. Not only does it seem very outclassed by our current Slush Rusher in Fweezing, but it's low speed and mediocre Attack make this not a threat at all. Would recommend changing this mons secondary typing from Ice to something better (unfortunately this would mean changing the name but snow is in a fine spot currently) and boosting its Attack to be more threatening, or you can rework it entirely.
Seems alright. Even though defensive rocks are generally bad, this one seems like it could maybe get away with it due to its unique resistances.
Seems okay. Even though it's got crazy bulk for a Pokemon with reliable recovery, its mediocre typing really lets it down, although it's got some ways to make progress with Knock Off, it's likely gonna struggle to work super well without some major support.
Seems pretty good, Steam Engine allows you to play some mindgames with the opponent if they want to click Fire moves, although this mon is walled by Dragons and Waters to make sure it isn't overbearing, which is pretty cool. Otherwise, it seems pretty similar to Volcanion in how it operates, as a strong defensive pivot or wallbreaker - which I enjoy.
Quite bad. Losing CM makes this mon significantly less threatening specially and no Morning Sun also means that its extremely difficult to deactivate Slow Start. Honestly I would just scrap this and try something different for this slot - trying to balance this around Slow Start is likely not going to work out well.
Never really liked Salt Cure, but this is a decent sub overall imo. Seems like it could be a very unique defensive pivot with its utility and access to Salt Cure alongside its solid resistances and immunity to Ground moves.
We've got a good amount of defensive Fighting types in this meta already (Kabluxie and Furant), so I would likely prefer if this was more offensively oriented (remove some bulk and give it 102 speed) and then this is an excellent sub imo. However, even in its current state it's a pretty great sub too, big fan of it even now.
I think this is pretty neat, although I would prefer if it was slightly more SpDef oriented to separate it from Mirroar a bit as a defensive Ghost. Even so, it looks very solid and should fit nicely into the meta, good sub overall (also change BST here to 600 and not 510 - stats reflect this but sub says its BST is 510)
Very similar thoughts on this as Arctana considering they're both meant to be Meteor Beamers, although I believe I prefer Arctana due to its much better speed stat, which makes it a better Beamer than this mon. Not a bad sub though.
Vetoed on the grounds that this Pokemon's BST is incorrect, it is 597 instead of 600 - I'd just mirror Necrozma's stat spread here. Even so, I can see this mon being a huge threat though and possibly ending up being too strong as well due its sheer versatility alongside its now solid typing. Specs or Scarf Dragon Energy sets, SJaw or Solid Rock setup sets are possible and could end up making this mon too difficult to answer imo. I'd get rid of Dragon's Maw and Dragon Energy here to make it more reliant on setup to break through teams, and I'd also consider replacing Solid Rock here, as it seems much more valuable with this mon's improved typing for setting up (possibly with something like Competitive, Sturdy or Trace?)
