24 hours remain for votes! Also meant to mention when starting voting, but I'd prefer it if you had it in the format that zxg and Mossy's posts currently are in just for my own convenience. It's not a big deal, I won't like disqualify your votes or anything, but it will make it slightly easier for me to tally the votes!
Alright, voting's closed! There was a big fat tie for 3 votes. I have a few "rules" I follow when tiebreaking that I can explain if needed, but tl;dr they will slightly go against self-votes and make whether or not one of my own subs wins based on predetermined things rather than leaving it to my choice.
The winners are as follows -

We now have a spreadsheet! Currently not much to look at since there's only been one slate, but it does keep track of who all needs to fill out flavor movepools for their mons. I'll be adding mine for Capsaken later today.
Name: Baloon-Popped (this is the one time i'm using an existing sprite for any subs here)
Typing: Ghost/Fairy
Abilities: Defeatist / Aftermath | Regenerator
Stats: 76/96/114/104/114/96 (600)
Notable Moves: Shadow Ball, Moonblast, Defog, Healing Wish, Hurricane, Air Slash, Psychic, Trick, Will-o-Wisp, Hex, Toxic
Flavor Moves: filling out if it wins
Weight: weighs extremely little
Explanation: I love Scoop's idea of a negative ability that the others can help work around, so here's this - Defeatist Regen! Your stats are all quite decent even if none are spectacular and you have an excellent offensive typing, especially for this meta where the obligatory fat Steel may end up being Threedy, which does not resist Fairy. Our other Ghost resist also doesn't like a Moonblast from this. Deliberately will not learn Poltergeist because I don't want to deal with that. Might seem broke right now without any direct counterplay but I'm certain counterplay will show up given enough slates.
Name: Eneryth (energy beings are things in literature apparently)
Typing: Electric/Rock
Abilities: Speed Boost / Multiscale | Contrary
Stats: 73/61/61/111/73/191 (570)
Notable Moves: Thunderbolt, Power Gem, Aura Sphere, Volt Switch, Nasty Plot
Flavor Moves: filling out if it wins
Weight: stuff kg
Explanation: 191 Speed? Whoa! Don't tell me this is Regieleki 2! Well, Speed Boost and Contrary do interact with one another in something like Shared Power, and I'd imagine they do the same here. I wanted to set a basic benchmark for Speed tiers for this mod, and in doing so I might have accidentally made two lmao. At -1 you tie with base 111s, and with a Scarf at -2, you're between 130 and 131. Also thought Multiscale would be funny on something like this so we ended up with a mon with three abilities rated 4 or higher. Anyways this thing isn't fond of the standard Grasses and Grounds so have fun there.

Move Name: Confidence Rush
Category: Special
Type: Fairy
Base Power: 130
Accuracy: 100%
Effect(s): If the user is below half of its max HP, its Attack and Sp. Atk rise by 6 stages.
Attributes: only the standard stuff
Explanation: Halved +6 is an effective +2 so this effectively is either a 130 base power nuke or a 65 base power Swords Dance depending on how you use it.

Move Name: Energy Breaker
Category: Special
Type: Electric
Base Power: 100
Accuracy: 100
Effect(s): Nullifies every active Pokemon's items and abilities until they switch.
Attributes: standard stuff
Explanation: A powerful secondary effect that also removes the user's potential choice lock and can ruin opponents that rely on their abilities if they decide not to switch. If they do, though, then all it does is remove your regular Speed drops / Multiscale, as it's hardly any stronger than Thunderbolt.

Description: NORMALIZE SCRAPPY NORMALIZE SCRAPPY. Fun offensive pivot with semblance to sorree capable of dealing huge amounts of damages, but is stonewalled by steels and fightings. Has the interesting capability of paralysing ground types using thunder wave.

Effect(s): Has fighting type damage in its damage calculation (Ala Flying Press)

Name: Florosis [Floral + Hypnosis]
Typing: Grass / Dark
Abilities: Leaf Guard / Effect Spore (H: Bad Dreams)
Stats: 80 / 90 / 70 / 125 / 70 / 95 | BST: 530
Notable Moves: Solar Beam, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Grass Knot, Solar Blade, Power Whip, Leaf Blade, Dark Pulse, Darkest Lariat, Throat Chop, Sucker Punch, Knock Off, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Thunderbolt, Heat Wave, Hex, Shadow Claw, Poltergeist, Poison Jab, Spore, Aromatherapy, Dark Void, Nasty Plot, Taunt, Switcheroo, Swords Dance, Curse, Encore, Toxic, Thunder Wave, and Trick.
Flavor Moves: Magical Leaf, Absorb, Snarl, Acid, Belch, Hyper Beam, Mud Slap, Round, Snore, Venoshock, Bullet Seed, Needle Arm, Feint Attack, Fling, Payback, Body Slam, Cut, Dynamic Punch, Fell Stinger, Fury Cutter, Giga Impact, Headbutt, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Natural Gift, Poison Sting, Retaliate, Revenge, Secret Power, Smelling Salts, Strength, Cotton Spore, Grass Whistle, Ingrain, Worry Seed, Embargo, Destiny Bond, Disable, Protect, Rest, Sleep Talk, Attract, Block, Captivate, Confide, Double Team, Endure, Flash, Growth, Leer, Mimic, Nature Power, Role Play, Rototiller, Sand Attack, Spite, Swagger, and Teeter Dance.
Weight: 60.0 kg
Explanation: Essentially, this Pokemon is heavily reliant on putting it's opponents to sleep and setting up. At first it may seem quite overpowered to have Spore; a 100% accuracy sleep inducing move as well as the ability Bad Dreams, however it has mediocre defensive stats, a middling speed tier, and no proper recovery to balance it out. I chose Leaf Guard since Florosis is a Grass-type and could encourage usage under sun due to Solar Beam, Solar Blade, and Heat Wave abusing it. Effect Spore is a reference to the whole "sleep" theme of the Pokemon, although it's not always guaranteed since paralysis and poison exist. Bad Dreams is the main ability, or at least the strongest one of the three. It's extremely powerful when the opponent is asleep and works really well with Spore. It's stats are optimized around special attacking whilst having pretty low defenses and speed so it's balanced; considering it has a really good ability and movepool.

Move Name: Dismal Slumber
Category: Special
Type: Dark
Base Power: 120
Accuracy: 85%
Effect(s): 50% chance of inducing sleep on the opponent.
Attributes: Bypasses Protect
Explanation: Essentially a stronger and less accurate Dark Pulse that has a good chance of putting the opponent to sleep. I made it Dark-type because of the obvious lack of Dark-type special moves.

Name: Scultair
Typing: Ice / Fairy
Abilities: Magic Guard / Sturdy / Regenerator
Stats: 70 / 75 / 60 / 90 / 80 / 110 | BST: 485
Notable Moves: Ice Beam, Freeze Dry, Moonblast, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, U-turn, Rapid Spin, Spikes, Calm Mind, Moonlight, Encore, Healing Wish, Wish, Heal Bell, Light Screen, Reflect, Teleport
Flavor Moves: WIP (Ice, Fairy, Psychic, Steel, and Ghost attacks, and support moves associated with those types, except Will-o-Wisp)
Explanation: Although this may break the of not stacking too many crazy/synergistic abilities, I think the nature of the pokemon justifies it. It's not a powerful attacker or a bulky wall, just a fast support pokemon. Magic Guard lets it keep Sturdy and also creates a clear separation between Life Orb offensive sets and other sets that are likely to be more passive. Sturdy combos with its fifth move and also lets it use more support moves before going down. Regenerator doesn't do that much for an Ice-type with 60/60/80 defenses, aside from reactivating Sturdy if it switches in and out enough.

User switches out. The pokemon switching in has its status cured and is healed by however much HP this pokemon was missing when it used the move. (The effect lingers until it is able to activate similarly to Healing Wish. Using Healing Wish while this effect is active will remove the effect and replace it with Healing Wish.

Stats: 78 / 70 / 114 / 97 / 70 / 100
Notable Moves: Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Moonlight, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Calm Mind, Defog, Psychic, Dark Pulse, Knock Off, Water Pledge, U-Turn (more later)
Flavor Moves: Magnet Rise, Shock Wave, Vacuum Wave, Meditate, Wild Charge, Brick Break, Spark, Assurance, Waterfall, Liquidation, Brine, Rock Smash, Strength, Octolock, Rest, Thunder, Zap Cannon (more later)
Weight: 8 kg
Explanation: cool fast physical wall pivot thats fast, and has a decent attack. although having a small movepool, it has alot of good tools. knock off, pivotting in uturn and volt switch, recovery in moonlight and hazard removal in defog. it also has a more niche move in Octolock. it has a decent matchup with the dark types and Shinamako.

Flavor Moves: Metal Claw, Dragon Claw, Fake Out, Astonish, Fake Tears, Metal Claw, Crush Claw, Nasty Plot, Icicle Crash, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Aurora Veil, Rest, Blizzard
Weight: 70 kg
Explanation: uses Swords Dance with prankster to set up, it also deals tons of damage with its high-ish attack of 110 and neuroforce. with sticky hold not letting its boots be knocked off, it doesnt have to worry at all about hazards. something else that could be useful is Taunt. its movepool has a lot of status moves because its supposed to use those, since it has Prankster. it has a decent enough matchup with Threedy (OHKO's with +2 brick break or eq), Amvip, and Abrakin (i think)

Typing: Ice / Poison
Abilities: Sticky Hold / Neuroforce / Prankster
Stats: 80 / 110 / 80 / 70 / 105 / 87
Notable Moves: Shadow Claw, Hone Claws, Triple Axel, Gunk Shot, Poison Jab, False Surrender, Knock Off, Toxic Spikes, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, Taunt, Bulk Up, Obstruct, Switcheroo, Brick Break, Drill Run, Earthquake
Flavor Moves: Metal Claw, Dragon Claw, Fake Out, Astonish, Fake Tears, Metal Claw, Crush Claw, Nasty Plot, Icicle Crash, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Aurora Veil, Rest, Blizzard
Weight: 70 kg
Explanation: uses Swords Dance with prankster to set up, it also deals tons of damage with its high-ish attack of 110 and neuroforce. with sticky hold not letting its boots be knocked off, it doesnt have to worry at all about hazards. something else that could be useful is Taunt. its movepool has a lot of status moves because its supposed to use those, since it has Prankster. it has a decent enough matchup with Threedy (OHKO's with +2 brick break or eq), Amvip, and Abrakin (i think)

Weight: 66 kg
Explanation: Heavily inspired by Aegislash, this is a slow tank and Stealth Rock setter that can take a lot of hits but can’t hit very hard. Cursed Body can really hurt, or disguise lets you get either your signature move or Stealth Rocks out without getting hit, and then shifts you into a monstrous attacker. Decent matchups against Capsaken and Abrakin

Explanation: The idea behind this is that Garghul, being a gargoyle, has moved off its pedestal to attack. This results in the stats completely flipping, resulting in a fast physical attacker

Explanation: This Pokémon is designed entirely around abusing berries. It’s stupidly hard to kill but can’t really do any damage outside of burn and toxic. Doesn’t really match up well against anything

Effect(s): This move can only be used on the first turn this Pokémon is sent out. Almost always goes first (+2 Priority). Changes user into Garghul-Enraged if they haven’t already and raises their speed by 2 stages.
Attributes: Contact, Bypasses Protect
Explanation: A move that almost completely changes the Pokémon into a fast physical attacker, however only being usable on your first turn really hurts any defensive or Stealth Rocks strategy if you decide to use it.

Weight: 2 kg
Explanation: This Pokemon would act as a speedy revenge killer and offensive mon. With amazing speed, even with a Modest nature, and Gale Wings, this mon can control opposing offensive threats. The other abilities provide some utility and scouting, but are not overtly powerful. It has pretty usable coverage in Bolt Beam, letting it target specific threats. Its shortcomings come in the form of lacking power and coverage for specific types. 108 Special Attack is fairly meager, and lacking specific coverage for opposing Steel-types or any of the other type combos that resist its STABs make this mon pretty easy to wall.

Move Name: Slipstream Reversal
Category: Special
Type:
Base Power: 90
Accuracy: 100
Effect(s): 100% to lower the target's Attack by 1 stage. The user switches out to a teammate.
Explanation: You can pivot.... once. This is a great move that can ease prediction in a tough situation and can let this mon gain momentum against its checks. You can use this as a safer revenge killing tool with Gale Wings due to having better accuracy than Hurricane and switching the mon out after, and the attack-lowering effect can potentially help halt a sweep and ease into a potential switch-in. Overall, this move adds a lot of potential utility and can be used in a few different ways.

Weight: 121 kg
Explanation: This Pokemon can be a good defensive mon, or a bulky offensive tank. It has respectable bulk and a consistent recovery move, an entry hazard in Stealth Rock and a few avenues of inflicting status, and a defensive typing with good qualities, along with Water Compaction, a niche ability that improves its matchup against physical Water-types. On the offensive side, it has a nice special attack stat with some good offensive moves and type coverage, further boosted by Sand Force or Meteor Beam, so it can actually end up being pretty powerful. Some shortcomings of this mon are that it doesn't really like status and that it's mostly just a Stealth Rock setter, kinda like Hippowdon (passive) but with some of Garchomp's tricks. The offensive sets are especially let down by the bad speed, but it should be sufficient to destroy defensive mons at least.

Move Name: Duststorm Whip-up
Category: Special
Type:
Base Power: 110
Accuracy: 100
Effect(s): The weather becomes Sandstorm for 5 turns (8 turns if holding Smooth Rock).
Explanation: A pretty straightforward move but it works great for this mon! Sandstorm improves the efficacy of Shore Up and provides a healthy power boost thanks to Sand Force, which is especially appreciated by more offensively slanted sets. Additional chip damage on opponents is also another useful way to wear down the opposition.

Weight: kg
Explanation: Here's a take on an offensive Electric-type for Expansions. Good offensive stats, especially Special Attack, and a workable Speed tier for Scarf or Specs, as well as respectable bulk and typing. Grim Neigh lets it steamroll through weakened teams if afforded a chance, making it a very threatening late-game cleaner, if you can take out resists to your STABs. The other abilities are more niche, but Heatproof gives it a neutrality to Fire as well. The main shortcomings of this mon is how it is super unilateral, with hardly any coverage besides its STAB options, and few utility options too, making it kinda predictable. Steel is not an excellent offensive type to support Electric, and it can be walled by bulky Grounds or Grass types, especially if they resist Steel too, and Electric types as well, which collectively resist its STABs.

Move Name: Cruel Shelling
Category: Special
Type:
Base Power: 120
Accuracy: 100
Effect(s): If this move knocks out its target, it doesn't consume PP.
Explanation: Cruel Shelling aims to remedy the main problems with special Steel-type moves, offering a balance between the weak Flash Cannon and the risky Steel Beam. The fact that it doesn't consume PP if it knocks out a target makes it a fifth move that is a lot more easy to use on a Choiced mon, and a great move for a late-game cleaner like this mon, since it can potentially nab a string of KOs with Cruel Shelling + Grim Neigh and go for multiple uses. However, this all comes at a risk, as if you don't manage a KO and you end up locked in, you end up as setup fodder.

Explanation: This mon's all about taking hits and dishing them right back. Fire/Fighting is a potent STAB combo that also packs great resists. Stamina + Recover lets it comfortably handle physical attacks while Iron Fist grants Drain, Mach and Thunder Punch a little extra oomph.

Explanation: Despite an incredible Speed stat, this mon is straddled with Stall, forcing it to move last (usually, more on that later). Rather than act as a speedy breaker, this mon plays like a tank. High SpA and wide coverage gives it a strong offensive presence while a good set of resists and immunities along with solid bulk and support moves gives it notable defensive utility. Flip Turn does actually benefit from Stall, as it lets it slow pivot more easily.

Base Power: -

Effect(s): Fully restores the user's HP. The user's Abilities are then rendered ineffective for as long as it remains active.
Attributes: Heal, Snatch
Explanation: Nullifies Stall to unleash that frightening Speed stat in exchange for nullifying the other abilities. Can't snowball without Soul-Heart and the Electric weakness is regained. Uninvested hits 336 Speed, outpacing invested base 103's and below. Best used when at least one boost from Soul-Heart is under your belt and/or the enemy team is sufficiently weakened. Full heal is also nice on a mon with otherwise unreliable healing.

No actual vetoes though. See you then!
Most of this sub is completely fine but Prankster Haze has been pretty frowned upon in this community just in general. I'm not even certain if it'd be used on an Ice-type that isn't particularly bulky, but if it does see any use, then its presence likely wouldn't be very healthy. This isn't even a veto, moreso just a heavy recommendation that you remove this.

Weight: 7kg
Explanation: Fast support, you can spin, set rocks, Taunt, Encore, pivot or do a bunch of other annoying stuff. Grass resist with Natural Cure means it can absorb Scalds and Aroma Veil means it doesn't fear Taunt. Super Fang is an option that allows it to threaten annoying damage if left unchecked and can be especially annoying if paired with options such as Leech Seed or Taunt. Basically, you just want this to fill the resists you want a grass type to and then bullshit around your opponent with high speed and annoying moves.
