Pokémon Slate 1: HP​

Here are the class slate winners!

It’s big boy season!!!

Giant

Primary Stat:
Extra Restrictions before Pokémon phase:
- Must have a base HP of at least 100.
- Must be at least 2m tall.
Pokemon that can be subbed with these restrictions:


Extra Restrictions in Pokémon phase:
- Must have an HP stat of 120 or higher and must have it as its highest stat.
- Must have one of the following types: Dragon, Fighting, Ground, Normal, Rock, Steel

Description/Justification: Great behemoths that tower over their opponents and can take a beating. The types chosen are very fitting to the giants' physical nature or are dragon which... well those are big. A lot of these pokemon are legendaries as you may expect from foes this massive, but some of them are just big guys. In general, giants will play as tanks or walls, but risk lacking in speed

I’m good to drive I swear

Alchemist

Primary Stat: HP (A)
Extra Restrictions before Pokemon phase:
-This Pokemon must be part Dark, Poison, Grass, Water, Fairy, Ghost or Psychic type
-This Pokemon must have a recovery move
Extra Restrictions after Pokemon phase:
-This Pokemon must be a combination of Dark, Poison, Grass, Fairy, Water, Ghost or Psychic type
-This Pokemon must be able to run status moves viably, or moves with secondary effects viably, or both
-This Pokemon must have a recovery move
Description/Justification:
In popular culture, alchemists are people who make potions, items and concoctions out of magical elements, herbs, minerals, etc, with the purpose of obtaining strength, power, intelect, but most importantly, eternal life, given by the philosopher's stone, in rpgs, or medieval fantasy games, these are able to heal and buff their allies, creating potions and such to do it, while causing many status effects against their opponents, i thought it would be fine to make it the HP class cus of its role as a healer and support in most rpgs, Pokemon that can have this role are Galarian Slowking, Sinistcha, Hatterene, Toxapex, Clodsire, Appletun and many more!

What was he cooking

Chef Primary Stat: HP
Extra Restrictions before Pokémon phase:
- must have an ability that specifically interacts with Berries.
Extra Restrictions after Pokémon phase:
- must have HP as their highest stat
- must want to hold a Berry
- cannot be weak to Fire
Description/Justification: What will they cook? Berry related effects should be obvious in their relation to the theme. Lack of a Fire weakness is because uhhhh chefs uhhhh kitchens hot.

The beauty of these slates is that absolutely none of these get coded, which means we have an instant turnaround here. You can each submit up to two Pokémon from each of these classes, as well the Cleric. The Cleric’s only restriction is that their highest stat already must be HP before you make changes to the sub.

Submissions will end after I give out a warning. Good luck!

 

[Orangesodapop]

lets see what the rock is cooking

PP: 8
Category: Physical
Type: Normal
Effect: Recycles the users item if it was exhausted, or uses it if it wasn't. (situational recycle / stuff cheeks effects)
Priority: 0
Flags: Contact

Justification: have you seen this boy move. These additions allow for snorlax to become an effective special wall while having great offensive potential with full healing while attacking with tactical restock, however some might opt for the consistency of body slam. Overall, I, (biased) think this is a pretty great mon. Bdrum sets are also viable and definitely silly



Pokémon: Dialga

| 90 BP | 95% Acc | 8 PP | Traps and damages the target for 1/8 HP each turn. Lowers the user's Speed by 1 after being let free.
Justification: rapid spinner alcremie bc you literally spin to evolve it. typing is also very good


Pokémon: Muk-Alola
Class: Alchemist
Type:

Stats: 140 / 90 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 110
Abilities: Power of Alchemy
Move Changes:
+ Stealth Rock, Moonlight

+ Fire Punch, Flare Blitz, Belly Drum
-
Custom Elements: N/A
Justification: had this idea in my head for like a month but never got the chance to execute it, but here it is now. belly drum fire dedenne

 

[Mossy Sandwich]

Pokémon: Koraidon
Class: Giant
Type: Dragon/Fighting
Stats: 123/119/81/77/67/103
Abilities: Protosynthesis
Move Changes:
+Defog
-Scale Shot, Sword Dance
Justification: Fairly fast and bulky offensive pivot that can Defog. Can generally act a nice Scarfer thanks to powerful STAB options (notably Close Combat) and U-Turn, but can also run Choice Band for power or simple Leftovers/Boots set if you're looking for flexibility. Bulk Up and Taunt are also nice options. You have decent coverage for Fairies, but still have to watch out a bit as they can stuff it pretty hard.

 

[BOTW Enjoyer]

Pokémon: Zygarde
Class: Giant
Type: Dragon/Ground
Stats: 128/92/121/81/62/91 (575)
Abilities: Aura Break
Move Changes:
+ Recover
- Dragon Dance
Justification: Insanely physically bulky mon that can be a trapper with Thousand Waves if desired or be a bulky sweeper with Coil. Lowered special defense and 4x weakness means it dies to any stray Ice Beam.


Pokémon: Cradily
Class: Alchemist
Type: Grass/Poison
Stats: 107/76/91/81/97/43
Abilities: Gooey/Water Absorb
Move Changes:
+ Parasitic Barrage
- Swords Dance
Custom Elements:

Parasitic Barrage

Type: Poison
BP: 50
Accuracy: 75%
PP: 8
10% chance to apply poison, 10% chance to apply leech seed, 10% chance to apply infestation

Justification: wow another poison type how creative. based around using multiple types of chip damage to make the opponent's end of turn actual living hell. Good bulk + leech seed means its also a pretty effective wall. Could run leech seed toxic or just go with the janky rng hell move if you feel like having fun and also having more moves. if this gets vetoed for being uncompetitive im fine w it.


Pokémon: Exegutor
Class: Chef
Type: Poison/Psychic
Stats: 125/85/85/85/95/55
Abilities: Harvest/Chlorophyll/Ripen
Move Changes:
+ Chow Down, Belch, Poison Jab
- Energy Ball, Wood Hammer, Synthesis, Leech Seed
Custom Elements:

Chow Down

Type: Poison
Category: Status
PP: 8
Accuracy: N/A
Effect: Eats held berry. Raises Defense and Special Defense by one stage

Justification: Bulky annoying wall that has a ridiculous amount of survivability as long as it has Chow Down PP, but seriously lacks longevity. If you are cool, run a stat boosting berry to have a sweeper


Pokémon: Chansey (Eviolite Compatible)
Class: Cleric
Type: Normal/Grass
Stats: 200/25/25/65/85/50
Abilities: Natural Cure/Serene Grace/Triage
Move Changes:
+ Strength Sap, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, Energy Ball
- Soft Boiled
Justification:
waow another grass type im so creative w this slate. Basically just chansey with wayyyyyyyy less minmaxed stats that has to resort to weird healing options that are now buffed. Strength Sap shuts down physical attackers that would otherwise shred it and it can still do clericy stuff with aromatherapy and wish but its otherwise a lot less of an insurmountable wall while also being a smidge less passive.

 

[Totally_Odette]

[Gaboswampert]

Pokemon: Eternatus
Class: Giant
Type: Dragon/Poison
Stats: 130/110/60/60/80/85 (535)
Abilities: Intimidate
Move Changes:
+U-Turn, Knock Off, Dragon Hammer
-Dragon Dance, Cosmic Power, Toxic Spikes
Justification: Solid Intimidate offensive pivot to start the metagame with, with 130/60/80 defenses, a good defensive type, and Intimidate, it has a solid defensive profile, as well as good 110 Atk, with access to STAB Gunk Shot/PJab and Dragon Hammer, utility in Recover and Knock Off, and a decent 85 Spd, balanced by its lack of coverage, and weak Def if the opponent isnt affected by Intimidate


Pokemon: Sinistcha
Class: Alchemist
Type: Grass/Ghost
Stats: 110/60/85/85/75/95 (505)
Abilities: Hospitality | Triage
Move Changes:
+Knock Off, Volt Switch, Taunt, Encore
-Scald, Calm Mind, Nasty Plot, Iron Defense

Matcha Gotcha buff

It now works with Triage, and its 100% Accurate

Justification: Utility mon, has priority Matcha Gotcha and Strength Sap, utility in Knock Off, Taunt, Foul Play and Encore, and pivoting in Volt Switch, balanced out by weak defenses and a mid defensive typing


Pokemon: Flapple
Class: Chef
Type: Grass/Dragon
Stats: 105/95/70/50/70/100 (490)
Abilities: Ripen | Gluttony
Move Changes:
+Clangorous Soul, Dragon Hammer, Wood Hammer
-Dragon Dance, Leech Seed, Sucker Punch
Justification: Clang Soul sweeper, has access to both Ripen and Gluttony to heal more after boosting once or twice with a berry, or activate a berry earlier, which comboes well with its only good coverage move, Acrobatics, and then sweep, balanced out by weak stats before boosting, a lack of coverage, only having Acrobatics, and a weak defensive type


Pokemon: Clodsire
Class: Cleric
Type: Ground/Poison
Stats: 130/105/100/45/60/40 (480)
Abilities: Poison Point/Water Absorb | Intimidate
Move Changes:
+U-Turn
Justification: Intimidate Ground type wall, basically the same as normal Clodsire but its special and physical bulk are swapped, gets more atk, gets U-Turn to pivot, and now gets Intimidate instead of Unaware, balanced by a low special bulk

 

[Pookacat2008]

Pokemon: Tyrannitar
Class: Giant
Type: Rock/Dark
Stats: 134/130/100/95/90/51 (600)
Abilities: Sand Stream / Sand Force / Intimidate
Move Changes:
+Knockoff, +Recover
Justification: Sand-loving wall, gets recover for healing and knock off to bully opponents, stronger to make up for loss of defense.

 

[Pookacat2008]

Pokemon: Wailord
Class: Giant
Type: Water/Steel
Stats: 170/110/105/30/35/80 (550)
Abilities: Heavy Metal / Huge Power / Hydration (HA)
Move Changes:
+Belly Drum
Custom elements: max bp of heavy slam and water spout increased to 180
Justification: Gets stab on Heavy Slam, can combo with rain, hydration, Rest and belly drum.

 

[Rasdanation]

Pokémon: Gourgeist
Class: Alchemist
Type:

Stats: 105 / 63 / 92 / 105 / 80 / 54 [499 BST]
Abilities: Pickup / Frisk / No Guard [HA]
Move Changes:
+ Inferno
- Moonblast
Justification: Maintains the class stereotype of status spreading, but in a more offensive context. Main idea is offensive status spreading via No Guard Inferno, which can then be monopolized upon with full power Hexes. Main counter to this Mon would be Fire types, given they resist Inferno (& immune to burn), and also resist Grass STAB


Pokémon: Scream Tail
Class: Cleric
Type:

Stats: 115 / 61 / 85 / 91 / 107 / 111 [570 BST]
Abilities: Protosynthesis / Sheer Force [HA]
Move Changes:
+ Moonblast
Justification: I always liked the idea of Sheer Force Scream Tail given its special movepool lending itself rather well to SF boosts. With Moonblast added, both its STABs get SF boosted options, as well as Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, or Flamethrower, and Focus Blast as potential coverage. Boosted its special attack to be more on-par with with other Special Sheer Forcers, at the cost of some bulk. However the bulk is still respectable if anyone wishes to run more support-heavy sets w/ Wish & Screens

 

[DaDucIsDaKey]

Pokémon: Swalot
Class: Chef
Type: Poison/Flying
Stats: 101 / 80 / 80 / 80 / 80 / 46 [467 BST]
Abilities: Gluttony / Regurgitate: Upon consuming a berry, this pokemon gains a stack of stockpile, and all adjacent pokemon lose 10% of their health.
Move Changes:
+ Heat Wave, Thief, Sludge Wave, Dual Wingbeat, Air Slash, Fly
- Brick Break, Bulldoze, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch
Decription: This Swalot looks like a normal swalot, but it has tiny bat wings instead of hands.
Potential Sets:
Swalot @ Kee Berry
Ability: Regurgitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: +Def / -SpA or +Def / -Atk
- Stuff Cheeks
- Knock Off(-SpA)/Thief(-SpA)/Shadow Ball(-Atk)
- Body Press
- Belch(-Atk)/Gunk Shot(-Spa)/Dual Wingbeat(-Atk)/Air Slash(-SpA)/Other STAB or coverage of choice/Stockpile/Acid Armor/Swallow
Description: This Swalot Chef set focuses on maximizing Def and doing crazy damage with Body Press afterwards. The Shadow Ball option allows better coverage and makes the mon better against phys def mons, such as this mon itself if given a free turn. Knock off is a generally potent move, while Thief can be used to steal opposing chef's berries and set up even more.
Justification: This would be a strong pokemon that excels despite its quite mediocre stats, utilizing the ability to get +4 DEF in a single turn and do damage as well. It is inspired by birds that vomit their food to feed their children, and the fact that swalot gets so many good moves for a chef but its stats make it outclassed. If this pokemon ends up too strong, I would change it in the following ways: Remove Regurgitate Damage > Remove Heat Wave, Thief, Dual Wingbeat > Remove Regurgitate Stockpile, add back Regurgitate Damage.
