Aint a Sylvemons team if you dont have Jirachi
Rachi
Jirachi
Going for physical offense kinda seems odd, but if we build a Hyper Offense or Offensively-inclined balance team or something around it, it could definitely work

Well, we all knew Rachi was gonna make it on the team eventually, right?
Round 3! Post a single Pokemon or core that you think can help our landshark dragon!

Some Rules: s/os to LC'S CCAT Thread
- Viability Rankings
- Role Compendium
- Analysis Database
- Bugs Database
And, for anyone completely unfamiliar with SylveMons, you'll need the archive of changes, too.
- When posting a Pokemon, post it with a moveset, and a few sentences of description on why you think it fits the team and why you chose the moveset you chose.
- When voting, you can only select one submission. Explanations of votes are nice but certainly not required.
- Feel free to discuss other submissions, but please only refute others' sets with solid reasoning (as opposed to "I hate Sylveon so I don't want to include it").
- Obviously, with a new metagame, sets aren't going to be as optimized as they can be, so we will give you some leeway in that regard, but don't submit stuff that would obviously be an unviable meme unless you have REALLY good reasoning behind it

Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Surf
- Moonblast
- Ice Beam
A little unorthodox, but Manaphy provides the Lando check we desperately needed. Manaphy can switch into one EQ from Lando and immediately threaten it with Surf or Ice Beam. With this, if the Lando switches out, that's a free Tail Glow, making Manaphy a dangerous sweeper that can break open a team, further aided by Grachomp/Jirachi's Stealth Rock. Also, Manaphy really appreciates Jirachi's Wish so it can consistently check Lando

gonna keep this open until we get to 2 or 3 subs
Alright, so the SylveMons Open has ended, so it's time to reflect
...
Well, only 3 sets were played in the whole tournament since real life happened to get in everyone's way. It happens
So, the only takeaway is that Articuno Veil teams are REALLY good as Articuno is stupidly bulky in Hail and under Veil.
Now, we made a promise quite awhile ago to open the final slate of SylveMons right before the SylveMons Open for some last second balancing. Obviously, we failed to give you that, but we believe in better late than never.
The final planned slate, Slate 15, for SylveMons is open!
Same rules as always, listed below
It's been a fun ride, but to keep an already huge metagame from becoming even more bloated, it had to end somewhere. Let's end it off right.
Oh, and the CCAT is postponed indefinitely, it may or may not continue after Slate 15.

The final planned slate, Slate 15, for SylveMons is open!
Same rules as always, listed below
The Submission phase allows you to submit additions to the OU metagame. There are are four categories: Abilities, Moves, Items, and Pokemon Adjustments. You may submit up to 4 6 additions per category. Please also put all of your submissions into one post. The Voting phase lets people vote on which additions should be added to the metagame! You may vote for 6 additions per category. There will be at least two winners in each category. The Distribution Discussion is for discussing what should get access to the winning moves and abilities. When this phase ends, the council will determine what should get access to the winning abilities and moves.

Oh, and 1 more thing we almost forgot. For the special occasion, instead of a max of 4 subs per category, you can sub 6 subs per category.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Pokemon: Mega Garchomp
New typing:
New Moves: Bite, Feint Attack, Knock Off, Night Slash, Pursuit, Snarl, Taunt, Throat Chop
New Abilities: Intimidate
Niche: It makes way more sense, considering its look is a lot more ferocious and aggressive, characteristics often associated with Dark-type (see Mightyena, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Krookodile, etc.), and it's a lot more usable with this typing and ability. Plus, we don't have a physical user of Dragon/Dark type combo, and it would be way more effective than Hydreigon. I also added some moves that fit with its blades (Night Slash, Throat Chop), Dark-type utility moves (Knock Off, Pursuit, Snarl and Taunt) and some flavour (the remaining ones).
Pokemon: Emboar
New typing:
New Moves: Accelerock, Sandstorm, Stealth Rocks, Wide Guard
New Abilities: Blaze / Sturdy | HA: Reckless
Niche: First, among the Fire/Fighting-type starter, it's the one that uses its type combo at its worst (meaning it isn't used at all), and it's also the one that fits it less, considering it learns only Hammer Arm and Arm Thrust leveling up as moves of its secondary type. Second, it learns one of the strongest Rock-type moves, i.e. Head Smash, and it cannot use it at its best, since it isn't STABed and it consumes a lot of HP, giving it a 50% boost would be very good. Third, we have no physical user of the Fire/Rock type combo, and I could say we don't have one at all since Magcargo is very weak. Fourth, having very strong boosted STAB recoil moves is balanced by the plethora of weaknesses that the type combo gives it, including 2 4x weaknesses to Water and Ground, that are very common. Fifth, I'm proposing this to any metagame jut to see it once, I love this concept.
Pokemon: Shiftry
New typing:
New Moves: Air Current, Slipstream, Wood Hammer, Haunting Scream, Psychic, Psyshock, Vacuum Wave, Sonic Boom, Stone Edge, Ancient Power
New Abilities: Chlorophyll / Air Stream | HA: Aerilate
Niche: Second official user of -ilate Fake Out (after Mienshao), this can be a way to enhance this tengu. The Flying type always seemed more fitting for Shiftry, given its relations to wind (that’s why I gave it also Air Stream).
Pokemon: Gulpin and Swalot
New typing:
New Abilities:
Accumulate - The holder gains 1 Stockpile upon being hit by a move, and it also raises its Defense and Special Defense by 1; the effect activates a maximum of 3 consecutive times and it resets if holder switches out or uses Swallow or Spit Up.
HA: Poison Point
New Moves: Clear Smog, Belly Drum, Bide, Disable, Dizzy Punch, Double Slap, Fake Out, Flail, Focus Energy, Growth, Hyper Voice, Metronome, Nature Power, Recycle, Tickle, Trump Card
Niche: The aim is to make them annoyers, so I tried to give them as many sneaky moves as possible. I would have submitted them directly with both the new exclusive move and ability, but submitting Deoxys was already a stretch and I didn't want to exaggerate. Btw the concept focuses on storing energy, and the new movepool reflects that and the annoyer role, it will become perfect for stall, considering its high HP stat and its passive recoveries. Also, it is finally a way to make Spit Up and Swallow usable. It's thought for bulky mons that have no recovery, that will become even more bulky already after they endure a hit. It can also be combined with Stockpile to quicken the effect. This ability can be shared with some others buky mons.
Pokemon: Mega Blaziken
New typing:
New Abilities: Reckless
Niche: Just to downgrade it from Uber tier and to make it usable.
Name: Magician
Existing Ability?: Y
Effect: Swap user's Item with opponent's on switch-in.
Niche: You can either use it to pass status orbs to the opponent or to nerf the members on its team that rely more on their Item, like Gliscor or Scarf users.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Old Distribution, Mime Jr. line
Name: Cold Blood
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: Holder is immune to Fire-type moves and recovers 25% of its max HP instead of being hit by any of them; holder recovers 1/8 of its max HP at the end of every turn under Harsh Sunlight; Ice-type moves inflict 25% more damage and holder loses 1/8 of its max HP at the end of every turn (instead of 1/16) under Hail.
Niche: Another immunity to Burn could be beneficial, we only have Water Veil and Flash Fire that actually do that. This works as a Dry Skin clone, which means more Pokémon can benefit from Sun. I went with Hail for the damaging weather because reptiles don't really suffer rain or water, they suffer more cold.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Ekans line (instead of Unnerve), Seviper (secondary ability), Snivy line (secondary ability), Scraggy line (instead of Shed Skin), Druddigon (instead of Mold Breaker or Sheer Force), Tyrunt line (secondary ability), Treecko line (secondary ability), Salandit line (secondary ability), Lickytung line (instead of Oblivious), Turtwig line (secondary ability), Turtonator (hidden ability), Bagon line (secondary ability).

Z-Move: Resets the user's lowered stats

Yoshiblaze can I submit Gulpin & Swalot, Accumulate and Inhale as a unique submission?
The move and the ability are both thought to be exclusive to them, they can be dangerous on other users.

I'd prefer it if you kept them separate, as if they win we'll make sure to make it Gulpin exclusive, but a similar thing happened with Deoxys and Regigigas where they had Abilities added by proxy that were automatically signature abilities, so you could that if really want to
I could submit only the ability as exclusive and the move as not.
That would be fine
hey can you close the slate Yoshiblaze ?
Subs will close later today to give anyone who forgot that this slate was open a chance for last minute subs

Existing Move?: No
Category: Physical
Type: Ghost
BP: 80
PP: 10
Effect: None
Priority: Normal
Misc.: Damage calculated based on target's SpD
Z-Move: 160 BP
Niche: A reverse Psyshock to allow some physical Ghost types a better shot at wallbreaking.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Banette (Mega), Mimikyu, Marowak-Alola
Name: Cleansing Fire
Existing Move?: No
Category: Status
Type: Fire
PP: 10
Effect: Removes hazards, status, Screens, and Leech Seed on both sides. Deals 12.5% damage multiplied by the target's weakness or resistance to Fire to all active pokemon. Fails ( and doesn't deal damage ) if there is nothing to remove.
Priority:
Misc.:
Z-Move: HP recovery
Niche: A hazard removal option for Fire types that has some upsides and downsides when compared to Defog. Overall it's probably definitivey stronger if the pokemon has Flash Fire or a double resistance.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Fire-types, especially with Flash Fire. Gourgeist for the lolz
Name: Thrash
Existing Move?: Yes
Category: Physical
Type: Normal
BP: 140
PP: 5
Accuracy: 85%
Effect: None
Priority: Normal
Misc.: User is locked in 2-3 turns. Confused afterwards.
Z-Move: 200 BP
Niche: Buffing Thrash, a move which never sees use. At 140 BP, a strong Choice Bander can start to smash through resists, which might give some Normal types a new lease on life.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: I think all of the bestial Normal-types already get Thrash, but that's the kind of mon it fits well both competitively and flavor-wise.

awesome gaming
Why not just buff Thrash? Also, Berserk is an ability already
