Name: Mountough
Ability: Heatproof / --- / Rock Head
Typing: Ground/Fighting
Stats: 90/120/110/70/90/54 (534)
Weight: 578 kg
Relevant Moves: Close Combat, Earthquake, Bulk Up, Rapid Spin, U-Turn, Knock Off, Drain Punch
Flavor Moves: stuff
Description: Rather than a fighter training in the mountains, the mountain has trained for a fight! Having one Stereotape counter and one check isn't enough, especially if both are Dragons. Might make building weird in some cases as the meta progresses and we get more Dragons that don't check it, you know? Let's finish this up with another check. I'm normally against adding resistances and immunities through an ability but it's kind of needed given how strong that thing is. Our prominent hazard removers are bulky Flying-types, and this breaks that mold as well. Its Close Combat and Earthquake are pretty strong given its Attack stat, but it hates to see Beetilient and can only really Knock Nimbustorm, which isn't the worst thing to do to that Pokemon.
And for Ice/Fairy, Dilasc wins with Twinklesnows!W.I.P. Sprite

Description: Despertur is a feared western gunslinger robot. People who disrespect it often don't live for long, leading to people treating it like royalty. It will often settle down in small villages and chase any outsider out of this territory. It still accepts to live with people and pokemon that respect it though. In terms of competitive play, Despertur is amazing speed control between access to 2 priority moves, an immunity to priority, a solid speed tier and a movepool centered around Choise Scarf between Parting Shot, U-Turn and Switcheroo. This means it will often get the first strike on opposing mons. It can notably revenge kill Nympheral with Bullet Punch as well as outspeed and deal heavy damage to an already setup Laopharsi if running a special Scarf set. It's also generally good at cleaning up teams. Its stab combo is already good neutral coverage, but it also has good coverage for other types. Bullet Seed, Energy Ball and Thunder Punch allow it to hit bulky waters that resist Steel, Brick Break and Aura Sphere hit steel types, Ice Punch hits Akanalud and more. This makes Despertur able to threaten a good amount of pokemon. It's far from impossible to deal with however. Fighting types generally do well, Gorilax and Dojodo especially due to their ability to take both physical and special moves pretty well. Beetilient is also a good answer to physical sets. Fire types also give it trouble, with Fluxtape-Stereo probably being its best Fire type counter. Its offensive stats are also not super impressive and it lacks setup options so generally bulky pokemon like Fluomingo, Nimbustorm or Magroach may be able to deal with it as well. Overall, Despertur is a much needed speed control option in a metagame with only one truly prevalent scarfer (Jungape).

Description: This twinkly ice fae is a bit versatile. Although the STAB combo is a bit redundant. And the coverage is nice but imperfect as there's no Electric or Freeze Dry to compensate. QD is never bad to have and... nothing in this meta has it yet.

+AUM
Description: Stallbreaker, Special Wall. SpDef + Typing lets it resist moves like Psychic, Focus Blast, and Earth Power fairly well. Poison Heal offsets Stealth Rock damage while encouraging the use of Protect, which helps support moves like Fire Spin and Infestation. While Fire Spin is usually weaker than coverage like Fire Blast, Fire Spin is meant to catch Steel-types on the switch in. Trojitter can then stall out turns with Protect (and Substitute if you're crazy) while recovering HP with Poison Heal. Leech Seed is also another option if you want to restpre more HP per turn. While Trojitter is very good once you have momentum, its speed is middling and its physical bulk is not very good, so it's easily forced out by physical attackers and even certain special attackers since Bug-Psychic has a shit ton of common weaknesses.Trojitter @ Toxic Orb

Description: A """blazed donut.""" Not my first Normal-type Prankster sub, but here's a Fire resist that uses Prankster Encore to keep itself from being passive, to let it check some things it couldn't otherwise, and to be a real nuisance to some hazard setters and removers. You have a naturally great matchup against Spirox, Thermasorb, and Fluormingo, and Encore gives you the potential to come in on a lot more depending on what coverage moves they want to click in a given match. This would also extend to entry hazards and Defog, which you never want to be locked into. It also helps it deter setup since it makes a decent check to most, even if not all of our boosting Pokemon. You still can pull some shenanigans against a lot of what you lose to though, like imagine sacking something to Nympheral's Meteor Beam only to Prankster Encore it. Encore is not foolproof, though, since you will mostly be at an awkward 50/50 with the opponent if you're forced to rely on it to beat anything, where the opponent switching gives them a free turn but not using Encore puts you at risk of taking major damage. Also worth note that I gave it two pretty broad status spreading attacks and tried to give it really compressed moveslots so it has the space for Encore, especially since I made that its only way of dealing with pressure aside from status. It can also choose Body Slam or Lava Plume to decide which Pokemon it wants to threaten, even if some Pokemon don't care about either of those statuses, like Stereotape or Dullaham.

Description: It's a fan phantom. I'll preface this by saying that any defensive Pokemon with this typing is not gonna get my vote, I love the dynamic our two defensive Flying-types have and don't want that to change at all. I honestly loved how before Fluormingo came in, base form Fluxtape played as a weird wincon that was the fastest thing out there minus one or two things and enjoyed being able to click one button even if it wasn't easy to find that opportunity, so here's something that's able to do that a bit more effectively. This is meant to click Poltergeist, and that's it, minus Drill Peck if you want to kill Beetilient or Jungape. Conditions need to be perfect for it to just click Poltergeist though. You MUST remove Nympheral, Beetilient, Heraleo, and any Normals or Scarfers, but if this thing gets in under those conditions, this thing will deal damage. Getting it in is a whole other issue, though, since it's EXTREMELY brittle. Both of its sides of bulk are worse than Kartana's special bulk. There's a lot of pivoting going around in this meta, however, so that shouldn't be the end of the world, but it will make this more difficult to use than even other fast breakers that have at least some ounce of defensive utility. Still, scarfers in general tend to be kept until lategame, so those will be tough to get. I have no idea whether reception for this is going to be good or not but please let me know, it might be a bit too touchy to properly balance even despite the fact that I can use pre-Sun Fluxtape as a base.
i'd sub roulettemons crazefly but it'd probably just end up playing really similar to gorilax except with more power and galvanize rapid spin instead of some speed, wish, and an actual defense stat

Flavor: A massive, sinister bird who silently stalks the wetlands at night. Sinistork is said to consume and trap the souls of its prey within its large bill.
Description: The Shoebill Stork is back, and now its a reaper. Fun. Sinistork is an offensive pivot who primarily runs physical offense. The largest ability here is the Water Veil, making Sinistork immune to burns and overall allowing it to maintain offensive pressure for longer. Can hit decently hard, and Flying/Ghost/Water provides a solid lineup of coverage. Other Pshot mons in the meta simply have better pivoting options to run, so I wanted to design this mon around a fast pivot who can provide that debuff support via Pshot pivoting.

Description: Hauntingly beautiful, Swaunted, like real swans, is an evil jerk! It goes berserk at the drop of a hat. If you prefer Queenly Majesty, you have 2 more SpAtk and 1 more speed than TornT, but Priority immunity isn't that amazing on its own. It's nice on a ghost to ignore Sucker Punches, mind you.

Description: Look at that, a place where Mega Kick is actually viable! No Guard Mega Kick is very reliable STAB and paired with no Miss Pyro Ball. It's no Cinderace, I'll tell ya that, but the biggest surprise move for No Guard is inferno, even off a paltry 60 SpAtk, an assured way to break a sash or spread some burns as this meta so far has no Gutsmons other than... itself. Granted, being a Guts Fire type is kinda bad because Toxic Orb is less inviting to abuse meaning that this thing is on more of a timer than most Guts abusers you'd be used to breaking with. Reckless is also viable as between Double STAB 120 recoil moves and Head Smash, HJK and Wild Charge, you're not strapped for coverage there. It wishes it was a little faster.

Relevant Moves: Recover, Attack Order, Iron Defense, Body Press, U-Turn, Psychic, Work Up, Calm Mind, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Bug Buzz, Sticky Web, Giga Drain, Skill Swap, Zen Headbutt, Psycho Cut, Iron Head, Liquidation, Surf, Energy Ball, Seed Bomb, Encore, Leech Life, Toxic, Poison Jab, Gunk Shot, Sludge Bomb
Flavor Moves: String Shot, Sweet Scent, Yawn, Role Play, Struggle Bug, Expanding Force
Stats: 55/92/110/92/110/41 (520)
Description: Orbeetlish defenses don't help much. This beehive minded (yes its litterally a thick brain case made out of hard yet sticky honey), has the power to bounce magic! But even then, Psychic/Bug just isn't the best defensive type offering no immunities to jump in on for free and if hazards are already up, you'll have a harder time without boots which are easy to remove, especially with 55 base HP. It can certainly take advantage of its ability, and threatens webs quite easily but it’s slow.
Type: Flying/Ghost
Ability: Queenly Majesty/Hydration (Berserk)
Stats: 82/70/90/112/74/122 (550)
Weight: 51.2 lbs
Relevant Moves: Shadow Ball, Hurricane, Air Slash, Wil o Wisp, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Psychic, Giga Drain, Nasty Plot, U-Turn, Fake Out, Roost, Yawn, Toxic
Flavor Moves: Absorb, Astonish, Peck, Wing Attack, Curse, Faint Attack, Mud Slap, Shadow Sneak, Growl, Gust, Twister, Mean Look, Screech, Feather Dance
Description: Hauntingly beautiful, Swaunted, like real swans, is an evil jerk! It goes berserk at the drop of a hat. If you prefer Queenly Majesty, you have 2 more SpAtk and 1 more speed than TornT, but Priority immunity isn't that amazing on its own. It's nice on a ghost to ignore Sucker Punches, mind you.
Name: Lavorc (Lava Orc)
Type: Normal/Fire
Ability: No Guard/Reckless (Guts)
Weight: 121 lbs
Relevant Moves: Mega Kick, Body Slam, Double Edge, Flare Blitz, Inferno, Fire Lash, Earthquake, High Jump Kick, Head Smash, Iron Head, Drain Punch, Close Combat, Quick Attack, Bullet Punch, Crunch, Bulk Up, Low Kick, Flame Charge, Pyro Ball, Facade
Flavor Moves: Ember, Tackle, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Mega Punch, Headbutt, Stomp, Rock Throw, Dig, Seismic Toss, Overheat, Roar, Bite, Grass Knot, Earthpower, Hyper Voice, Boom Burst, Dark Pulse, Outrage
Stats: 96/107/73/60/120/64 (520)
Description: Look at that, a place where Mega Kick is actually viable! No Guard Mega Kick is very reliable STAB and paired with no Miss Pyro Ball. It's no Cinderace, I'll tell ya that, but the biggest surprise move for No Guard is inferno, even off a paltry 60 SpAtk, an assured way to break a sash or spread some burns as this meta so far has no Gutsmons other than... itself. Granted, being a Guts Fire type is kinda bad because Toxic Orb is less inviting to abuse meaning that this thing is on more of a timer than most Guts abusers you'd be used to breaking with. Reckless is also viable as between Double STAB 120 recoil moves and Head Smash, HJK and Wild Charge, you're not strapped for coverage there. It wishes it was a little faster.

Name: Jaegorm
Ability: Schooling
Typing:
Stats:
60 / 145 / 130 / 100 / 130 / 80 (above 25% - schooling form)
60 / 65 / 45 / 130 / 45 / 120 (below 25% - base form)
Weight: 184 kg / 13 kg
Relevant Moves: Photon Geyser, Stored Power, Attack Order, Bug Buzz, Superpower, Aura Sphere, Darkest Lariat, Dark Pulse, Power Whip, Work Up, Recover, Thunder Wave, Teleport,
Flavor Moves: Infestation, Steamroller, Struggle Bug, Expanding Force, Zen Headbutt, Psychic, Psyshock, Future Sight, Psybeam, Confusion, Throat Chop, Beat Up, Giga Drain, Power Gem, Wrap, Defend Order, Pain Split, Gravity, Guard Swap, Imprison, Confuse Ray, Ally Switch, Helping Hand, Laser Focus, Psych Up, Power Swap, Wonder Room, Mind Reader, Psychic Terrain, Sandstorm, Screech, Metal Sound,
Description: Makes use of Schooling in a bit more of an interesting way than Wishiwashi, in that it gains Speed in its base form and can recover back to health against more passive pokemon. It could also potentially use pinch berry sets that focus on the base form to clean late game. It has a big 145 base Atk and a strong STAB in Photon Geyser, but it's extremely reliant on Heavy-Duty Boots; so it ends up with solid power, but most healthy physical walls should be able to deal with it.
The flavor is that it's a hive of worm-like creatures (it's prevo) that who form a body around a central "queen" (the base form) who controls them telepathically. When the the body is weakened, the queen disperses the creatures and attacks directly in a last-ditch effort.

24 hours remain!
Other subs are good but this is extremely powerful. Reckless and Guts backing such a high attack stat and many great coverage options (Normal/Fire STABs, plus Grass, Fighting, Ground, Electric, Rock, and Ice) would make it far too difficult to make counters for in the future. The context of the meta is much more important, though, and Lavorc's Fire/Ice coverage alone lets it break past all of our prominent physical walls, namely Drakotomy, Nimbustorm, Heraleo, Beetilient, and you still have two slots to hit whatever else you feel like. Its Speed tier also is pretty good actually, you're above a pretty crowded area, that being around the 75-80 range. I'd lower this thing's power to make some of those good defensive Pokemon possible counters, as well as remove quite a few of those coverage options and drop its Speed a bit.
Name: Bebopede (Bebop+Centipede)
Ability: Dancer/Competitive/(HA: Infiltrator)
Type: Bug/Psychic
Weight: 10.1 lbs
Stats: 80/70/110/100/60/70 (BST: 525)
Relevant Moves: AUM, Quiver Dance, Recover, Bug Buzz, Psychic, Psyshock
Flavor Moves: Struggle Bug, Trick Room, Magic Room, Wonder Room, Psybeam, Confusion, X-Scissor, Dazzling Gleam, Bug Bite, Electroweb, Skitter Smack, First Impression, Light Screen, Reflect, Psych Up, Zen Headbutt, Shadow Ball, Trick, Ally Switch, Future Sight, Helping Hand, Stored Power, Mirror Coat, Magic Coat, Skill Swap, Swift, Expanding Force, U-Turn
Flavor: Beboporm worms its way into your mind and puts on a PARTY in there. It's favorite dance is the worm (ovi) and it likes looping a certain bit of a song over and over and over and over and, well you get it.
Summary (presented in a rap (I apologise for my actions)): Defoggers, beware! You gotta be take care! Around this thing you will take your fair share! Competitive and Quiver Dance buff Beboporm up, and Recover makes it show its really buff. It worms its way around with +6 speed, and +6 special attack makes it really mean. But it can't bop its beat around the flying lamp, and thats all I have to say. POGCHAMP!
