(Physical, Psychic)

Abilites: Berserk
Move Changes: Fiery Wrath -> Night Wrath
Instead of 20% chance of flinching, it have 20% chance to lower target’s Special Defense by 1 stage.
Overview: Evil fast special wall with Knock Off, Reflect, Light Screen, Giga Drain, Roost, U-Turn, Substitute, Encore and Defog. Fiery Wrath is changed so that it got a less annoying signature that nonetheless could bypass it’s passivity, but not recommended regardless due to lower than average Special Attack… though Berserk can help with that.

Types:
Stats: 78 / 107 / 73 / 107 / 73 / 111 [BST: 549]
Abilites: Aluminum Fist
Aluminum Fist: Punching moves (including Sizzling Strikes) deal 1.3x damage and ignore Protect
Move Changes: Sizzling Strikes
Sizzling Strikes: Fire type, no other changes
Overview: Just some flavoring knowledge, transparent aluminum exists, therefore an aluminum fist can be both iron and unseen. Otherwise this plays similar to Infernape, just with a funnier Fire STAB and marginally beefed up stats. Perhaps in a micrometa environment the ape can solve its 4 moveslot syndrome. When compared to the rest of the meta, this is functionally different than Chesnaught/Torkoal because it has a speed stat and isn’t a fucking brick wall.

Types:
Stats: 99 / 105 / 92 / 86 / 99 / 119 [BST: 600]
Ability: Serene Grace
Move Changes: Doom Desire ==> Bat Outta Hell (identical effects)
Overview: Serene Grace + Poison Fang = toxic poison that cannot be Taunted or bounced. Roost and U-turn are boons to its survivability, while Super Fang and Taunt are other notable tools of sabotage. However, it's rather passive, with Heat Wave and Bat Outta Hell being its best options for non-fixed damage.

Move Changes: Fiery Wrath ==> Flakedown (identical effects)
Overview: Has reliable recovery to take advantage of Berserk, but good luck getting it to take a physical hit, let alone a Fighting-type one. At least Freeze-Dry and Flakedown have the kind of coverage to open up a fourth move slot to Rapid Spin, Defog, Knock Off, or Toxic.

And that concludes Impersonators V2!
I'd like to thank everybody who has supported this mod, submitted, and voted during its lifetime! When Generation 9 comes around, expect Impersonators V3 to be released during Early 2023! Now that Impersonators V2 has been finished, once the new Pokemon are coded we will possibly be going under a Balance Patch that will take a look at the more overpowered and underpowered Pokemon, nerfing and buffing them respectively.
Hopefully the future of Impersonators will be better than this year! Sayonara, for now!

Forgot to post this in the thread, but just as a quick announcement: r1dude has retired from being a council member. Please DM me through Discord if you are interested in taking his place when V3 comes around.
Apart from that, Impersonators V3 will probably be starting somewhere in mid-January, so look out for that!
