Ability: Regenerator / Perish Body Stats: 81/112/70/31/70/121 (BST: 485)
New Items have been unlocked!
Shed Shell (GlaceMons) - Holder may switch out even when trapped by another Pokemon, or by Ingrain. If targeted by Pursuit, the move fails and the item is consumed.
Honey (VGC 20XX) - At the end of the turn, the Bug type user consumes this item and raises its most proficient stat by 1 stage.
As we approach the end of the metagame, I'd advise submissions to focus on not overlapping with any of our existing mons and attempt to not be too meta-warping. i believe this late into a metagame it is better to be sure there's nothing too centralizing getting added as there would be little time left to answer problem mons
I would also say that we have quite enough of Water, Flying, Bug, Ghost, Dark and Dragon types - at least relative to how often those types show up in competitive metagames. This is to say, if you do plan on submitting a Pokémon with those types, just make sure they stand out and have a reason to be added alongside the existing options
You have untilNovember 22nd to make your submissions. Farewell!
Description: Despite the shoddy BST, Gourgeist-Ancient-Large is quite the helpful fella to have on a team because of how good Grassy Terrain is for support and for enabling Grassy Glide or Grassy Seed users. It differentiates itself from the other Grass/Fairy in the format, Praying Visitor, by offering terrain and priority as well as some other neat tricks it can do like setting up with Swords Dance. Grassy Glide is a great answer to the many Waters and Grounds that roam the tier now, helping to prevent them from getting too crazy to deal with. And as mentioned before, Grassy Surge is just great to have as it synergizes with any grounded Pokemon for the HP recovery as well as weakening Ground moves for some mons like Skeledirge. If you want terrain interactions in the tier, this is your guy.

Description: While it faces a rough time in its home meta because of how insanely powercrept it is, Mega Emboar is actually pretty good. Supreme Overlord + its fantastic bulk can enable it to be a deadly trader with its great coverage that can also sweep lategame with Bulk Up under the right conditions. Especially on the special side, a healthy Mega Emboar with a Supreme Overlord boost or two can certainly cheese out a 1v1 even if the opponent has a super effective move into it just because its special bulk is that good. It would still require a fair amount of support here, especially with getting around roadblocks like Mega Blastoise, but I think there's good enough reward in this fat strong breaker to make it worth your while as a Mega. It also hits funny Drain + Knock and thats peak.

Description: The meta is lacking in both of these types and Cryogonal-M is a pretty unique fusion of offensive and defensive capabilities. Ice/Poison with Earth Power coverage is surprisingly deadly into the existing pool of mons and 105 Speed is pretty fast to boot. Offensive sets would primarily run Levitate for the clutch Ground immunity which gives them nice utility considering you have Ice STAB to threaten said Grounds. That massive Special Defense comes in handy too as it can tank Fairy hits with ease and can take on special attackers like Big Crammer decently well. It has room to run utility sets too, with options like both Spins for removing hazards, Recover to keep it healthy, and two options for setting hazards (helped by its coverage threatening like, all of the hazard removal). Toxic Debris is also a decent option for hazard lead sets too of course. While these positive traits sound amazing, Cryogonal-M's typing is still pretty rough defensively and it still has Cryogonal's physical defense, so it will take some careful play to truly succeed.
: Heal Bell, Recover, Trick, Thunder Wave, Substitute Description: Meloetta has 2 forms which are its aria and pirouette but it mainly uses its pirouette form thanks to its item dancing shoes. With dancing shoes it becomes immune to hazards and sound moves which allow it to switch in and out of battle freely. Aria still has uses with psycho boost and no guard focus blast doing a million and even having pivoting moves like round or vacuum wave to finish off opponents
Dancing Shoes If Meloetta: Transforms into Pirouette form, Immune to Sound moves and +1 Attack if hit by one, Immune to hazards.
Muscle Memory This Pokémon's moves deal more damage the more times they are used consecutively (Same formula as the Metronome item).
Cutting Remark 40 100 25 Psychic Physical Usually hits first. Uses the target's Special Defense in damage calculation. (Sound, Slicing)
Parry 80 100 10 Fighting Physical If the target is using a priority move this turn, this move goes first and flinches the target. (Contact)
Psycho Boost 120 100 5 Psychic Special Lowers the user's SpA by 1 stage after use. Hits all adjacent foes.
Round 50 100 15 Normal Special Switches the user out if successful. 100 BP if the most recent move used was an ally's Round (Sound)

- The damage boosts from Tera Stellar reset upon switch out
Nat Dex Movepool + Tri Attack, Rainbow Blast, Fairy Wind
Description: Audino-Mega has 2 useful abilities in regenerator and unaware. Unaware helps vs weather and can help while boosting up. In addition it can be useful defensively checking setup sweepers esp with tools like encore, fairy wind, and just walling them with wish tect or rest talk. Regen audino-m makes it a huge bulky mon who can switch in and out and normal/fairy makes it quite good at taking on quite a bit of the tier. In addition it has high power moves like rainbow blast and tri attack that uses fire/electric/ice coverage in one. Fairy wind can force opponents out which can be useful in accumulating hazard damage and being helpful on setup sets.
Tri-Attack 30 100% 10 Normal Special Hits three times: 1st hit = Ice, 2nd hit = Fire, 3rd hit = Electric. 10% chance to freeze, burn, or paralyze on each respective hit.

Fairy Wind 60 100 10 Fairy Special If both the user and the target have not fainted, the target is forced to switch out and be replaced with a random unfainted ally. This effect fails if the target used Ingrain previously, has the Suction Cups Ability, or this move hit a substitute.
Unaware This pokémon ignores other pokémon's stat changes or the presence of terrain or weather when taking or doing damage

Description: Buzzwole is a defensive bug and can check a lot of grounds, darks, fighting, and water pokemon with the use of dry skin and its huge bulk. It has pretty good utility with stealth rock, u turn, beak blast, and flex off allows it to be a late game sweeper. Offensive buzzwole can be a potentially nice set to be a nuke especially with CB u-turn to pivot in and out.
Rest - -% 10 Psychic Status User sleeps 2 turns and restores HP and status.
Sleep Talk - -% 10 Normal Status If user is asleep, uses one of their non-sleep talk moves at random. Rest no longer fails if pulled.

Stat boosts, items and abilities are not taken into account, fails if move was previously used in the same turn. Cannot be used consecutively
Triple Kick 20 90% 10 Fighting Physical Hits 3 times. Each hit can miss but power rises. 20% chance to lower Defense by 1.
Triple Dive 20 90% 10 Water Physical Hits 3 times. Each hit can miss but power rises. Ignores Burn/screens/substitute/Sunny Day power decrease. Can't miss in sun.
Sky Uppercut 95 100% 15 Fighting Physical Target loses 1/8 of their max HP if hazards are on the field.
Item: Air Balloon / Absorb Bulb / Snowball / Cell Battery Origin: Glacemons Effect: Holder is immune to Ground/Water/Ice/Electric-type attacks. Pops when holder is hit and raises Special Attack/Special Attack/Attack/Attack by 1 stage. (They all are visible to the opponent) Description: Makes an interesting pick on offense and allows more coverage to be able to allow them to boost their attack and use stuff like cell battery to deter electrics, or use absorb bulb to stop jet punch crabominable
Item: Punching Glove, Razor Fang, Razor Claw Origin: Vaporemons Effect: Boosts the power of punching / Biting / Slicing moves by 30% and makes them not make contact. Description: We added quick claw but not the others? well it gives them niche utility and allows them to power up such moves without them feeling like wet noodles at times. Esp to ones who would use such moves like meta knight sounds like a cool user of razor claw
Description: (WIP) Strong mid speed Ice breaker that deals heavy damage to the pleathora of slow Dragons in this mod, like Mega Ampharos, Drampiclus, Lindwallow, Aurorus and Dialga, as well as a few other defensive mons such as Krokorok, Clodsire and Gogoat, with Taunt potentially letting it wallbreak. Very much held back on Fighting STABs tho and its fairy one-note with its biggest draw being No Guard Triple Axel.

Single use. Description: Support against poison spam + lets mons like rosegold and big clef to have more of a cleric role
“Jiselle is a one-of-a-kind and eccentric Ogerpon, proving herself as a decent albeit unpredictable technician. Although her origins are somewhat elusive, she is often known to play with and help take care of young Pokemon in peril or stress with her rudimentary tech to both entertain and improve their lives. Most notably, however, she is known among youth she plays with for her flagship roleplaying game — Clubmons.”
Shares the rest of Ogerpon’s movepool, but notably lacks Ivy Cudgel and Swords Dance.
Joyride
BP: 90
Acc: 95
PP: 10 (16)
The user rapidly pursues the target with an explosive pair of skates to slash into them. On hit, user will obtain the Joyride custom effect. On a failed attack, the user will crash and lose 50% of their max HP.
Haywire Cudgel
BP: 100
Acc: 100
PP: 10 (16)
With a long weapon coated in steel wool and sharp, highly conductive material, the user bashes the target. Has a high critical hit ratio and is non-contact. Becomes Electric-type if user is holding the Costar Mask.
Joyride - A volatile status that is removed on switch-out. Having this status makes critical hits hit for 2x damage instead of 1.5x, and is granted only by the move Joyride.
Pokemon Description:
Ogerpon-Costar takes a lot of notes from the base Pokemon itself, being a versatile offensive Grass-type Pokemon with a uniquely solid matchup into Grass-type checks. It is actively using the movepool of Ogerpon, but lacks two very noteworthy moves: Ivy Cudgel and Swords Dance.
Ogerpon-Costar is Clubmons’ attempt to take the offensive role compression seen with Ogerpon forms and pull them in to focus on the dynamic gameplay and otherwise phenomenal balancing they have. This is primarily done by removing Swords Dance which often centralizes how it is used. In return, it gains a new move in Joyride, an offensive tool that synergizes with its offensive typing while respecting Grass-types as a check. Due to its typing and synergy with Ogerpon-Costar’s primary attacking moves, it pairs well with all potential set combinations, especially with Embody Aspect (Tera) in tow. With Joyride, Ogerpon-Costar can acquire a boost mirroring Swords Dance that is only attainable with smart positioning and some concessions. The removal of Swords Dance also balances a very powerful ability the base form receives in Motor Drive, granting teams an Electric immunity that can not only soak Volt Switch, but convert it into a sweeping opportunity post-Tera/Focus Energy.
Ogerpon-Costar is, fittingly, the “Clubmons” Pokemon, in the sense that it represents much of what the format is carefully designed around. It’s versatile, can fit on most teams, provides offensive role compression, and also is the format’s mascot. I’d love to see it in this format because I feel strongly that it is a healthy presence overall that represents the core motive of the format it derives from.

Item: Costar Mask Origin: Clubmons: Requiem Effect: A bizarre, crude jester’s mask used for playing with young Pokemon, and only wearable by a single Ogerpon. If the user is Ogerpon-Costar, they will receive a 1.2x boost to all attacks. Grants Embody Aspect (Costar) on Tera use. Description: This is a pretty self explanatory item that mirrors the rest of the Ogerpon masks, but notably cannot be worn by any Ogerpon other than Ogerpon-Costar itself. This ensures that it can’t be used with the base species that has access to Swords Dance and Ivy Cudgel.

Relevant Moves:
: Salt Cure, Body Press, Stone Edge, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Knock Off, Gunk Shot
: N/A
: Recover, Parting Shot, Stealth Rock, Bulk Up, Iron Defense, Protect Intended Role: Defensive Pivot, Set Up Sweeper Role Justification: Pangonacl is best known for having three incredible abilities which each allow it to do different things well. Purifying Mold really solidifies it as a defensive pivot with access to Status immunity, an extra resist and the ability to ignore others. Glass Knuckles allow it to fire off very strong Drain Punches that can't be punished by stray Intimidates or other methods of stat lowering. Rocky II is best suited for Body Press sets, making it a potentially very potent breaker that can't be stopped by simply slapping a Ghost on your team. Sample Sets:

Arcamine is decently fast with respectful bulk for an offensive Pokémon, with the option of Solid Rock to further augment it's bulk against stray Fighting or Steel type moves. Sand in the tier is probably very unexplored so I would love to see it perform and this definitely bumps it up as it partners with Hong well. Sample Sets:

Fling boosted by 1.5 if used. Can Be Knocked Off (Yes or No): Yes Ignored by Klutz (Yes or No): No Fling Power & Effect: Dark, 80 BP Justification: Only big Huslters can handle using Macho Brace. On a serious note, Macho Brace is a cool item for bulky set up Fighting types to take advantage of - bolstering their existing strengths to make them even better.
Description:
While it's got underwhelming stats and a boots reliance, that's balanced out by an amazing offensive type, paired with an amazing defensive ability in Stamina, paired with reliable self-healing with Slack Off. This helps it become a strong wallbreaker, as it can set up with Nasty Plot (which is a move we're lacking users of, only having Aurorus and Houndoom as viable users) and break through the opponent's mons, its STABs also help, Moonblast being one of the strongest special STAB moves in the game without drawback, and Mystical Fire covers the special attackers Stamina has no use for, but can opt for Flamethrower if it wishes to do a bit more damage.
