Pokemon: Lanturn
Type:
BST: 135(+10)58/88(+30)/96(+20)/86(+10)/107(+40) | (BST 570)
Abilities: Serene Grace, Surge Surfer, Levitate
New Moves: Hex, Shadow Ball, Earth Power
Notable Moves: Scald, Discharge, Hex, Dazzling Gleam, Ice Beam, Volt Switch
Justification: The real life animal Lanturn is based on is scary as hell. A fish that leads its prey in with a light before it eats it whole. Lanturn fits that dead fish mold so well in that its light can either help guide souls to the afterlife or to their doom as a snack.
Niche: Ghost/Electric is such a nice typing both defensively and offensively. I didn't know which way to go with the typing. So I decided to go with both. A nice speed stat allows Lanturn to function as a bulky late game cleaner with great HP and usable Special Attack. That same bulk also lets Lanturn be a great bulky pivot with volt switch, and two 60% status inducing moves to spread around status. Levitate makes Lanturn an even better wall and fits into the whole dead fish thing. Surge Surfer allows it to be used as an even better cleaner. Serene Grace allows it to spread status with scald and discharge, while also allowing for a powerful hex.

Pokemon: Noivern
Type:
BST: 85/70/80/112(+15)/80/143(+20) | (BST 570)
Abilities: Sheer Force, Adaptability, Infiltrator
New Moves: Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Moonblast
Notable Moves: Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Moonblast, Air Slash, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse
Justification: Noivern is basically a bat of the night much like Lunala, I loved that asthetic so I went with the whole Moongiest/ shadow bat thing.
Niche: The typing was way to good and hit to many things for it to not be used for offense. I made it really simple in that Noivern is now basically one of the best revenge killers with great speed and passable special attack. Its bulk is still very lackluster though. Sheer Force takes advantage of Its amazing coverage by boosting many of its moves. Adaptability takes further advantage of its great typing by boosting those two stabs to a great degree. Infiltrator makes sure that even with screens up, its job as a revenge killer is made easier.

Pokemon: Cloyster
Type:
BST: 50/110(+15)/180/105(+20)/45/80(+10) | (BST 570)
Abilities: Skill Link, Technician, Bulletproof
New Moves: Shadow Bone, Bone Rush, Shadow Sneak
Notable Moves: Shell Smash, Bone Rush, Icicle Spear, Rock Blast, Ice Shard, Shadow Sneak, All Hidden Powers, Hydro Pump, Shadow Bone
Justification: It's basically a Ghastly in a shell, so there's the theme, haunted Shell. A spirit takes over old shells.
Niche: Another simple one, a good old Shell smash sweeper. Its new typing lets it take advantage of choice locked Normal or fighting moves to set up. Better special attacks allows for Cloy to be a better mixed sweeper. Skill Link is pretty self explanatory. Technician lets any Hidden Power be abused giving special coverage, it also has the benefit of boosting Shadow Sneak or Ice Shard. Bulletproof bring forth new set up option, while also just making sense flavor wise.
