super super out of it so take my words with more of a grain of salt than usual
Specifist: Practically a direct upgrade from Eleitan who people have been using a fair amount in the little playtesting we've gotten. Much higher stats outside of Defense, Sheer Force to boost its Thunderbolts, and still fairly good coverage. Not a good idea.
Wallashore: I feel like either Geomancy or Fluffy would have broken this but it got both. It may be a bit weak for itemless +2, haven't calced, but with that bulk and a pretty optimized Speed tier it should be enough for it to get by with the coverage/STABs it has. It also has a great physically defensive typing and bulk to soft check most physical stuff although again I haven't checked how many physical mons we have that run contact moves. I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say that I don't need to check this to determine it'll be stupid though.
Radiblade: Meh. Doesn't really do anything overly likable or unlikable. Fire doesn't have many resists because of our weird defensive mons here but it's probably locked into Boots and so its power might be underwhelming because of that. Does have some pretty interesting coverage though for what it's worth. Sludge Bomb is decent to click into stuff you don't match up into well because of the Poison chance, Psyshock hits mons with spreads that look like Koalpuff, and V-Create...might be worth something, I guess. I haven't calced this maybe it's just straight up bad. Grass Pledge also covers Waters and Rocks too. Maybe it's a good Hunttar answer? I can't think of anything specific this does otherwise. It's probably fine but I don't know.
Protola: God dang this thing is cool. Is it good though? Probably not but it's a bit weird so it's hard to tell. Good priority options are pretty rare in this meta so I could easily see this thing practically guaranteeing itself a free spin -> whatever with Boots provided there isn't a Ghost in its face. It's going to end up so horribly weak though without a boosting item, its only STAB move is 80 base power off of 107 Sp. Atk and it has nothing for Steels. It can Thunder Cage them to guarantee chip or maybe try to Sing them I guess but that's rough. It could also maybe ignore its Sp. Atk stat and go for Morning Sun / Rapid Spin / whatever / whatever, use its Speed to guarantee it can Morning Sun itself back to Multiscale range to check stuff? I dunno. I also don't know how this thing would match up into offense at all. Worth noting that Blizzard would be the functional equivalent of Focus Blast if not everything that had that also had Ice Beam which is 10x better. Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks here, there's a lot of fun to be had with something like this and I hope someone does find something.
Bonron: So first of all, we currently have 35 Pokemon and five of them are Steel-type. This won't be an issue for some people to make it 36 with 6 Steel-types either because they don't think it's that big of a majority or because Steel is a good type to do this with, but you can be the judge of that yourself. I'm in the camp that doesn't mind adding another Steel here, it can be nice to have more bulky options of the best defensive type and Ground/Steel definitely adds something in a vacuum, mainly an Electric immunity being really good. However, looking past that, we have a Pokemon that doesn't really get answered by any of our defensive Pokemon especially well other than Slowghast funny enough and might stuff out offensive Pokemon too easily across Take Heart and Strength Sap. This is why I was saying earlier on Discord that we really need more fatmons with good resists - we currently have no good Ground resists, unless you count Gastroal in which case I disagree because I specified "good" Ground resists. Maybe Bonedos also answers this decently as well but I don't like how overwhelmingly strong this thing probably does off of such little being needed for it to find itself an opportunity to start doing its thing if that makes sense.
