title: pokemon chartreuse and pokemon burgundy (named after the alcohols, not the colors)
generational gimmick: item that adds an additional typing to your pokemon. viewable at team preview and only one mon per team can hold it. also gives the pokemon two fancy hats and is graphically unintensive enough to easily port to showdown. put that in your pipe and smoke it, terastal. also megas are back
regional rodent: i don't know whether you're referring to the early game normal-type or the pikaclone so i came up with both. early game normal-type is a bushbaby pokemon called scambush that disguises itself as a bush. it evolves into a grass/dark type called bamboozle. the pikaclone is called zapybara
seven dracovish forms: dracovish-red, dracovish-orange, dracovish-yellow, dracovish-green, dracovish-blue, dracovish-indigo, dracovish-violet. they're all exactly identical to regular dracovish in every way but aesthetically. they spawn randomly in outbreaks that also include regular dracovish. their shinies all look exactly like regular non-shiny dracovish
go ahead and call my bluff again, i triple dog dare you

are all going to ubers, no doubt about it
kinda depends on weather or not tera is looked into, if not eleki's getting the boot as well
is gonna be a massive threat, might be banworthy with the lower overall power level compared to gen 7, but its low speed might be enough to keep it down
is also gonna be a huge threat, one less check compared to last gen and newfound access to sd might make it banworthy
has really solid competition in the form of great tusk, who brings better overall utility with knock and spin, but landos defensive typing and access to intimidate still gives it a fighting chance in this meta.
will be very strong as a fast regenerator pivot with solid offense, I see boots sets potentially with plot as well as assault vest pivot sets both being very strong, being a flier is also incredible for the tier due to the distinct lack of good birds, speaking of which:
will be a great defensive flying, static punishes common physical attacks while its good typing lets it check many things well, very good mon
unsure on this one, on one hand, it's basically just flamigo with better stats, on the other hand, the one thing flamigo has over it is pretty big, scrappy is huge for flamigo and is part of what makes it work so well, and when you remove that gapdos might take a big hit, but it is still gapdos, and it absolutly apreciates the more hazzard-focused meta we find ourselves in
also unsure on this one, its a great special tank on paper, but in practice it's ghost weakness is a huge issue when 2 of the most dangerous special attackers are ghosts, might see some chilly reception sets and its still a decent check to the likes of valient iron moth and volc but it really misses out on not being able to check ghold/pult without burning tera
probably the protean mon hurt the most by the protean nerf (besides kekleon L) but still will have some important traits to set it appart from the other 2 imo, water shuriken gives the tier some much needed special priority 
is gonna fall off a bit, with lando giving it solid competition and the increased presence of flying types making its already somewhat present 4mms even worse, will still be good, but probably a bit worse
will have tough competition in the form of urshifu-r, who's faster, stronger, is physically bulkier, and has access to drain punch, 
this thing really hates more birds in the meta, let alone birds that outspeed it, while knock off lets it punish them for coming in, its still basically incapable of actually doing much meaningful damage to them, it risks getting static para'd by zapdos while it struggles to wear down torn, still good, but a tad bit worse
shifu is a great offensive check to the king, with surging strikes doing massive damage even if kingambit chooses to tera, the increased presence of lando also means we might see some defiant sets showing up.
it can handle Heatran and Pex at the same time if Tera Blast Ground, but this means no giga drain shenanigans any more, AND its more prone to rain mons than eve
is gonna love tons Tornadus therian as a bulky mon that can pivot and wall stuff together
is that another HO mons? time to kill myself [dies]*
it depends on the defog/Rapid spin distribution but right now is looking good
are those birds? hmmmm [punches the birds]*
