pvk asked me to vote so i guess i'm voting
Break the Mold: i kinda love this! a psychic-type that can resist psychic but without the classic psychic tools (all ou viable psychics have either have tw + recover or a sleep move) and does something else entirely would be very cool and healthy i think, then again you would question whether the tier needs even more psychics. but nonetheless there are many great options for this using other types, i think this is just naturally going to result in interesting things that offer cool alternatives to the usual balances
Limber But Not Really: i like this, the only options to stop enemy twave atm is something that's already statused or rhydon - having a ground that can switch into twave without being 2hkoed by the pokemon that usually carry twave (as rhydon is) can open a few interesting play sequences that don't currently exist. the other approach (unparalyzable by body slam) already kind of exists with porygon (or ghosts i guess) but i think more twave counterplay would be very very interesting to see
Nice Typing You Got There...: conversion is weird because being normal vs normals isn't particularly good (ok bslam immune but the damage is the important part of that equation) and a good few things in rby can hit themselves supereffectively or generally strong enough to make conversion not that good (rhydon, zapdos, starmie if tbolt, chansey doesn't care too much, and so on) - but there are a few mons where this could be interesting if this mon is set up to abuse them in particular (alakazam, cloyster, jolteon, exeggutor), i think this could be excellent if the follow up is good
Un-niche: are we making a good swords dancer? this sure sounds like a good swords dancer. could be interesting, why not
New Friends!: i worry that this just ends up being "something that is good against either normals or psychics" because that's what a vast majority of the vr is weak to, but i don't think that'd be bad at all in general. it would probably result in a good pokemon that doesn't need its friend to be viable though.
Rock Paper Scissors: i think this is less safe than it looks because introducing (1) a rhydon check or (2) a zapdos check that isn't rhydon can both pose an extreme danger to rhydon and make it obsolete altogether; maybe that's not a bad thing but it feels a bit too early to kill off A rank mons on the very fist CAP
Non-Poison Ghost: would almost certainly be metagame changing if this is any good at 1v1ing tauros. like, you'd want to run this in every team until tauros stops having 100% usage and now you're playing a vastly different metagame. a lot of space to accidentally upset balances completely and inadvertedly, i'd recommend against for now (maybe at a later point but as i understand the point of this project currently i would say no)
It's a critical hit!: high crit special moves aren't terribly interesting bc you don't usually find special setup that you need to crit through other than rare stuff like slowbro; high crit physical moves are interesting because they make physical attackers that can break reflect lax, but do we really need persian v2? high crit moves feel more like the side notes on a different design concept than something you actively build around
Status Stripper: this is impossibly hard to realize - a strategy that wastes turns clicking thunder wave, then haze, then sleep is almost certainly going to be worse than a strategy that just clicks sleep. using a turn to heal your opponent's status is too much of a tempo drain, i don't think this can work and i expect that if a mon is made that tries to make this work they would probably before too long drop haze in favor of any other 4th move that does anything.
