:bw/torterra:
Pokémon: Torterra
Ability Modified: Overgrow
New Ability Name: Overslow
New Ability Effect: This Pokémon’s speed stat is halfed, but it’s defense and special defense are increased by 1.5.
Typing: Grass/Steel
Stats: 70/100/80/110/80/90 (530)
Movepool Changes: +Iron Head, Stun Spore, -Synthesis
Competitive Role: With the ability Overslow, Torterra becomes a strong defensive wall. With its naturally high attacking stats, it’s able to hit hard even without investment. It can use moves like Giga Drain and Leech Seed to heal itself, or opt to run a more offensive set and take advantage of its bulk to setup or deal damage.
 

Pokémon: Delphox
Ability Modified: Blaze
New Ability Name: Gaze
New Ability Effect: ("Psychic type moves used consecutively increases the damage of the next damaging Psychic move. Max 2x after 5 turns.")
Typing:

Stats
: 75 HP / 59 Atk (-10) / 72 Def / 119 SpA (+5) / 100 SpD / 109 (+5) Spe [BST: 534]
Movepool Changes: +Reflect, +Gravity, +Miracle Eye
Competitive Role: Weird setup sweeper inspired by Megas For All's mega delphox. The idea that its Psychic moves kind of go into the future, is translated here as a consecutive boosting effect. I designed it so that Delphox using moves like Calm Mind and Reflect will enhance its potency at sweeping, and it can still keep its momentum when selecting a different move.

:bw/blastoise:
Pokémon: Blastoise
Ability Modified: Torrent
New Ability Name: Current
New Ability Effect: ("Upon switching in, swap speeds of this pokemon and opposing pokemon.")
Typing:

Stats
: unchanged
Movepool Changes: +Pain Split, +Thunder, -Shell Smash
Competitive Role: Very odd revenge killer but very cool lead. And as a pivot, getting off attacks with Specs is a lot easier, Defense sets can still function with potentially fast Pain Split being the target.


Pokémon: Chespin
Ability Modified: Overgrow
New Ability Name: Regrow
New Ability Effect: ("When this pokemon takes damage at full health, but does not fall below half HP, it heals 100% of the damage taken.")
Typing:

Stats
:
unchanged
Movepool Changes: none
Competitive Role: Basically uh yeah.

Pokémon: Decidueye-Hisui
Ability Modified: Overgrow
New Ability Name: Overlord
New Ability Effect: This Pokemon's physical or special attacks deal 1.25x damage on Pokemon with a lower attack or special attack stat than it, respectively, but 0.75x damage on Pokemon with a higher attack or special attack stat than it.
Typing:

Stats: 88 / 112 / 80 / 95 / 95 / 60 [BST: 530]
Would've just done movepool additions/removals, but Decid-H doesn't have its movepool implemented on PS, so I had to merge its PLA movepool with Dartrix's Gen 8 movepool before adding new stuff. Only removed move is Triple Arrows due to its effect outside of PLA being unknown.

Aerial Ace, Acrobatics, Air Slash, Astonish, Attract, Aura Sphere, Baton Pass, Brave Bird, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Coaching, Confide, Confuse Ray, Covet, Curse, Defog, Double Team, Drain Punch, Dual Wingbeat, Echoed Voice, Endure, Energy Ball, Facade, False Swipe, Feather Dance, Focus Blast, Focus Energy, Frenzy Plant, Fury Attack, Giga Drain, Giga Impact, Grass Knot, Grass Pledge, Grassy Glide, Growl, Gust, Haze, Hurricane, Hyper Beam, Knock Off, Laser Focus, Leaf Blade, Leaf Storm, Leafage, Light Screen, Low Kick, Low Sweep, Magical Leaf, Nasty Plot, Nature Power, Peck, Pluck, Protect, Psycho Cut, Razor Leaf, Rest, Rock Smash, Roost, Round, Safeguard, Seed Bomb, Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak, Skitter Smack, Sky Attack, Sleep Talk, Smack Down, Snore, Solar Beam, Solar Blade, Spikes, Steel Wing, Substitute, Sucker Punch, Sunny Day, Superpower, Swagger, Swift, Swords Dance, Synthesis, Tackle, Tailwind, Toxic, U-Turn, Work Up, Worry Seed
Competitive Role: Weird breaker that does significantly less damage to other physically offensive mons. Might also be viable with fatter sets depending on how the meta goes. Overlord sounds like a fun dynamic to play around with, and for a slate 1 mon, that's all you can ask for.

I’m a couple hours late, but I have a good reason. I was watching Star Trek lmao.

Anyway, the time for new submissions is over, it’s time to announce the list of vetoed submissions, which will have 22 hours to be fixed before voting begins. The vetoes are as follows:

:ss/simisear:
Pokemon: Simisear
Ability Modified: Blaze
New Ability Name: Laze
New Ability Effect: This pokemon's Def & SpD are 1.5x while its asleep.
Typing: Fire/Steel
Stats: 108/85/108/73/111/73 (BST: 558)
This Pokémon’s defenses are incredibly high, and paired with such a good defensive type and a defensive ability, it’s a bit too much. Lower the defenses a bit and it should be ok.
e0ee1fe61edf799afca645619d861899a114e107_hq.gif

Pokemon: Typhlosion
Ability Modified: Blaze
New Ability Name: Taze
New Ability Effect: Paralyzes foe on switch in
This ability’s ridiculously overpowered. Change the ability’s effects completely in order to better suit a balanced competitive environment.
:rs/sceptile:
Pokémon: Sceptile
Ability Modifed: Overgrow
New Ability Name: Overgo
New Ability Effect: If the pokemon is at 1/2 or less of its max HP, sets up Grassy Terrain
:rb/blastoise:
Pokémon: Blastoise
Ability Modifed: Torrent
New Ability Name: Torment
New Ability Effect: This pokemon's Normal type moves turn into Water type and have 1.2x power
The effects of these abilities don’t match their names at all (if you wish to argue with me on this, contact me on discord with evidence). Either change the effects to better match the names, change the names to better match the effects, or change the abilities altogether.
 
After one fix and one change of heart, I’ll announce what can’t be voted for:

Wes8888 ‘s Typhlosion
r1dude ’s Blastoise

Otherwise, voting is now open for the next 24 hours. To remind everyone how voting works in this mod, I’ll resend the voting description from the opening post.
Now voting’s gonna be a bit weird. For these next few months, we’re gonna try ranked choice voting. This way, you’re not only voting for what you want, but voting against what you don’t. Basically, for each modified ability, you will vote in the order you want each sun, from most to least, stopping when you don’t want any of the rest. For example, say for Lightning Rod, the submitted abilities are Lightning Cod, Lightning God, and Lightning Rock. Say you like Lightning Cod the most, but would prefer Lightning Rock over Lightning God if your first choice loses, your vote would look something like this:

Lightning Rod: Lightning Cod, Lightning Rock

The least popular option continues to get eliminated until one option has 50% of the vote

Note that in the event that there are two abilities with the same name, specify the Pokémon being used.

When self voting, imagine you have 2 points per submission. With 1 submission, you can make your ability your second option. With 2, you can make 2 your second options, or make one your first and the other your third. With 3, you can make 3 your second options and so on.

For Blaze, it appears that due to the voting system (which was really fuckin scuffed so we’re gonna change it), we couldn’t determine a winner between DuckeryDoodle‘s Ablaze and Yoshiblaze’s Graze, so we’ll be putting a tiebreaker up to a 24 hour poll.

I forgot to set the timer on the poll, sorry
