OK everyone, voting time is up! Here are the winners:

Rock / Fire. Winner: Krakatuby (3 votes). Runner up: Conflagrabian (3 votes)
Honestly, I couldn't pick so I flipped a coin and it came up heads.
Bug: Winner. Clawcroach (3 votes). Runner up: Crickadale (3 votes)
I went with Clawcroach as Bug teams tend to be heavily offensive, so I felt Crawcroach would fit better. Plus Crickadale was pretty much Bug Alomomola
Psychic / Normal. Winner: Rangeruff (4 votes). Runner up: Daisicat (2 votes)
Fairy / Ground. Winner: Pixoil (7 votes). Runner up: Navadger (1 vote)
Ghost / Normal. Winner: Spirisheet (3 votes). Runner up: Binariint (2 votes)
Sorry Brodaha , but you may only vote for one of your own creations. You also voted for Pixoil, and as that was first your Ghost / Normal vote wasn't counted. I should've checked your votes and warned you earlier, that is my fault.

Have updated the spreadsheet in the OP with the new winners. Voting results.

Congratulations to Anaconja , Origin0 , Brodaha and superstrike66 ! You get to pick one typing for the next slate. Double congratulations to Brodaha : as you had the most overall votes, your typing can have the 600 BST limit (unless you don't want it to, no pressure). Please PM me or leave a message on my profile with the typing you want ASAP. Thanks!

Loving your work so far guys, keep it up!

Type: Fire / Fairy (530 BST limit)
Type: Poison / Psychic (600 BST limit)

Shouldn't we have a tiebreaker instead? Some people didn't vote for either. Same with Crickadale and Clawcroach.

I'll edit subs into this post later.

Ability: Compoundeyes / Shield Dust
Base stats: 75 / 75 / 80 / 120 / 90 / 90 [530]
Useful Moves
: U-turn
: Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Bug Buzz, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Earth Power, Focus Blast
: Quiver Dance, Roost
Sprite: Lurantis recolored brown
Weight: 176 lbs, 80 kg
Gender: 50% M, 50% F
Size: 6'7'' ft, 2 m
Egg Group(s): Bug
Competitive use: Bug teams get another special sweeper and Fire neutrality, Dragon teams get a special sweeper with Quiver Dance. Mantidragon is a Quiver Dance sweeper with Compoundeyes giving moves like Thunder and Focus Blast more viable use. This allows it to hit Water-types like Toxapex and Steel-types too.
Is it broken?: Still has a Stealth Rock weakness, Dragon doesn't gain any useful defenses from its typing, and it isn't very bulky either.
Pokedex: Mantidragon uses its coloration to camouflage with tree trunks and dead leaves, subduing prey by striking it with powerful blasts of energy.



Ability: Levitate / Serene Grace
Base stats: 70 / 65 / 75 / 110 / 85 / 125 [530]
Useful Moves
: N/A
: Fire Blast, Overheat, Lava Plume, Moonblast, Air Slash, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, Solar Beam, Energy Ball
: Will-O-Wisp, Calm Mind, Roost, Defog
Sprite: Drifloon recolored white and orange
Weight: 5 lbs, 2.3 kg
Gender: 50% M, 50% F
Size: 2'0'' ft, 0.6 m
Egg Group(s): Fairy
Competitive use: Fire teams get a fast Pokemon with a Dragon immunity and maybe Ground immunity, Fairy teams appreciate its speed and Steel neutrality. Candescent is a fast special attacker that can set up with Calm Mind. It can run Levitate for the Ground immunity or Serene Grace to give moves like Lava Plume and Moonblast high chances of having their secondary effects. Its Fire STAB helps Fairy teams hit Steel-types, while its Fairy STAB helps Fire teams hit Dragon-types.
Is it broken?: Candescent is somewhat frail, has a Stealth Rock weakness, and its STAB combo is resisted by Fire-types, which doesn't help Fairy teams. It also has weaknesses to common Water and Ground-type attacks (if not Levitate).
Pokedex: Candescent enjoys flying around in its lantern at night. When large groups of this Pokemon gather, the event makes the night sky light up spectacularly.



Ability: Prankster / Corrosion
Base stats: 90 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 100 / 110 [600]
Useful Moves
: N/A
: Psychic, Psyshock, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Venoshock, Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Clear Smog, Dazzling Gleam
: Baneful Bunker, Toxic Spikes, Recover, Wish, Calm Mind, Magic Coat, Light Screen, Reflect, Trick, Thunder Wave, Encore
Sprite: Solosis recolored light purple
Weight: 4 lbs, 2 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 1'6'' ft, 0.5 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: Poison teams gain a Pokemon that can help beat opposing Poison teams and Fighting teams as well as having a Psychic neutrality. Psychic teams get a Bug neutrality that can also hit Fairy-types with its Poison STAB. Cleenee is a fast offensive support Pokemon that can provide Prankster support with moves like Toxic Spikes, Wish, dual screens, and Encore. Corrosion can be used to Toxic incoming bulky Poison and Steel types like Mega Venusaur, Toxapex, and Celesteela to help its team break through them. Cleenee has a wide special movepool too.
Is it broken?: Doesn’t provide much help against opposing Ghost, Ground, and Dark teams. Also has trouble with Steel-types, having to rely on Focus Blast to hit them.
Pokedex: Cleenee is a curious Pokemon who enjoys going through people’s homes and belongings. It leaves behind a purple liquid everywhere it goes.



Ability: Drought / Chlorophyll
Base stats: 80 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 90 / 90 [530]
Useful Moves
: N/A
: Solar Beam, Overheat, Fire Blast, Leaf Storm, Power Gem, Flash Cannon
: Synthesis, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy
Sprite: Roserade recolored orange and red
Weight: 40 lbs, 18.2 kg
Gender: 50% M, 50% F
Size: 3'11'' ft, 1.2 m
Egg Group(s): Grass
Competitive use: Fire teams benefit from its Water and Ground neutralities, Grass teams benefit from its neutralities to Bug and Fire as well as its Steel resist. Merrygald provides Grass teams with an only Drought user with powerful STAB Solar Beams and Fire Blasts, with sun also boosting Synthesis recovery. Its Fire STAB can help break through Steel teams, able to run HP-Ground to hit Heatran. It can hit Water-types super effectively with its STAB moves for Fire teams, and it also provides a cleric with Aromatherapy. If there is another sun setter like Mega Charizard-Y, Merrygald can run Chlorophyll to provide Fire teams with a powerful and very fast sweeper.
Is it broken?: It has a Stealth Rock weakness and Dragon-types resist its STABs. It is rather reliant on sun, so opposing rain or sand setters can ruin its strategy.
Pokedex: Beautiful and vibrant, Merrygald are often kept by members of the upper classes as a symbol of status. Its flowers also have a pleasant aroma.



Ability: Swift Swim / Drizzle
Base stats: 75 / 115 / 90 / 60 / 80 / 110 [530]
Useful Moves
: Aqua Jet, Liquidation, Iron Head, Sacred Sword, Drill Run, Megahorn, Knock Off, Poison Jab, Leaf Blade, U-turn
: N/A
: Swords Dance, Agility
Sprite: Seaking recolored blue and with a long horn, I guess
Weight: 772 lbs, 350 kg
Gender: 50% M, 50% F
Size: 9'6'' ft, 2.9 m
Egg Group(s): Water 2
Competitive use: Water teams get another rain setter or physical rain sweeper with a Grass neutrality, Steel teams benefit from its speed, Fire neutrality, and Water resistance. Gladifin can uniquely set rain for Steel teams too, reducing their Fire weakness, though this can potentially backfire as Steel teams don't appreciate opposing Water-types and Heatran's Fire STAB is also weakened. Gladifin can set up with Swords Dance, with moves like Aqua Jet for priority, main STABs in Liquidation and Iron Head, and coverage moves like Leaf Blade for opposing Water and Ground types. Gladifin can also help Steel teams against Water rain teams with Swift Swim, using Leaf Blade to hit Mega Swampert, Keldeo, and Rotom-Wash super effectively while outspeeding them all.
Is it broken?: Gladifin has no reliable recovery and only moderate bulk, leaving it prone to being worn down. It has weaknesses to Electric, Ground, and Fighting, so it may have trouble switching into attacks that its team may be left weaker against.
Pokedex: Gladifin uses it long, sword-like bill to slash up schools of fish Pokemon like Wishiwashi or Remoraid, until all that remains is drifting clouds of fish scales.

Name is a combination of Swarm and Symbiote

Weight: 244.7 lbs, 111.0 kg
Gender: 50/50
Size: 6'3" or 1.92 m
Egg Group(s): Monster, Dragon
Competitive use: A Fast Physical Sweeper, or Offensive Pivot that has a Fantastic Secondary STAB, and complimentary coverage. With the boost from Hustle, it has the highest starting attack of all Bug types, and 2nd highest attack of all Dragon types, falling just short of Kyurem-Black. Its fast enough

Ability: Regenerator / Compoundeyes / Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn / Megahorn
- Dragon Rush / Outrage
- Cross Chop
- Gunk Shot
Is it OP?: Many of its moves have low accuracy to start with, meaning they can be very unreliable when you factor in Hustle. Compound Eyes fixes that, but then it lacks power. Its bulk is okay on the physical side, but it is vulnerable to special attacks, and its 5 weaknesses are fairly common attacking types. My example sets above are walled by Skarm, Celestela, Doublade, as well as any fairy that can tank a +1 Gunk Shot. And while it is fast, it is still outsped by basically anything with a choice Scarf.
Pokedex:
  • A Swarmbiote is actually a dragon that allows a large swarm of small insects to live on its body. The dragon protects the swarm from predators, and in return, the swarm acts as the dragon's eyes, giving it a heightened sense of it's surroundings, and close its wounds with silk.
  • When Swarmbiote was first discovered, scientists thought the bugs on this dragon's body were a mind controlling parasite. With further research, they discovered that the Dragon willingly works along with the swarm's hive mind, to the benefit of both.

Inspiration: Corsola, and artificial coral reefs, which often get placed in polluted areas where natural coral has died.
Ability: Adaptability / Natural Cure (Regenerator)
Base stats: 85/75/115/85/115/55 [530] (Same as Corsola's original stats + 20 each)
Useful Moves: New additions marked with an *
: Liquidate, Iron Head*, Gyro Ball*, Stone Edge, Head Smash, Earthquake
: Scald, Hydro Pump, Surf, Flash Cannon*, Power Gem, Earth Power, Ice Beam
: Magic Bounce, Recover, Refresh, Reflect, Light Screen, Stealth Rock, Calm Mind, Curse, Purify*
Sprite: Taller Corsola with metal points and more branches.
Weight: 20 lbs. or 9.0kg
Gender: 25m/75f
Size: 3'0" or 0.9m
Egg Group(s): Water 1 and Water 3
Competitive use: It's basically Toxapex, except steel type. Their bulk is, for all intents and purposes, identical. Main differences are that Corsteela has Magic Bounce instead of Baneful Bunker and Toxic Spikes, and trades a Psychic weakness for a Fighting weakness. To water, it provides a Dragon resist and a Psychic resist, to Steel it provides a bulky pivot that can burn things with Scald, and takes neutral damage from Fire. In addition it does have the option of trying to run a bulky boosting set with Calm Mind or Curse, so it isn't quite as one dementional as Toxipex,
Is it OP?: No. It is weak to Fighting, Ground, and Electric, 3 very common coverage types, meaning nearly every offensive mon in the game will be able to hit it super effectively.
Is the pre-evo now OP?: lel no. Even with eviolite it isn't bulky enough to make up for its awful defensive typing.
Standard Wall with Stealth Rock

Ability: Regenerator

Pokedex:
  • This Pokémon has adapted to live in polluted waters. It's branches are as hard as steel, and resist the most corrosive of materials.
  • The points on its head absorb pollutents, cleaning the water around it. If the water it's in becomes too pure, it will migrate to polluted areas.

Inspiration: The fact that there is no offensive Pokemon with Merciless yet.
Ability: Anger Point / Merciless (Sniper)
Base stats: 111/126/63/63/126/111 [600]
Useful Moves:
: Psychic Fangs, Psycho Cut, Gunk Shot, Cross Poison, Fire Punch, Blaze Kick, Crunch, Night Slash, Drain Punch, Cross Chop, Superpower,
:
: Toxic Spikes, Toxic, Focus Energy, Nasty Plot, Hone Claws, Curse, Taunt
Sprite: Dark purple with a pink belly and white stripes.
Weight:
Gender: 50/50
Size:
Egg Group(s): Field and Monster
Competitive use:
Psychic: A specially bulky, naturally quick physical Sweeper that doesn't require a mega stone. Can Reach 100% Crit rate with Focus Energy+High Crit Rate moves, which it can boost in power even further with Sniper. Typing really helps a lot against Fairies, and has the coverage it needs to get past most steel types. It also would be the first Psychic with Toxic Spikes. Could be used as a SpD tank with AV, and is a good switch in against special attacking bug types that might otherwise give Pychic teams trouble.
Poison: Kritikrok can rip through teams that have been worn down with poison damage with ruthless efficiency thanks to Merciless granting it guarantied Crits against anything that has been poisoned. And on Poison teams, you are absolutely spoiled for choice for T-Spike setters. But if T-Spikes aren't your thing tho, you still can go for Sniper+Inner Focus, and get 100% Crit rate that way. Alternitively, you could use it as a SpD Tank with Assault Vest, or a quick Defensive Wall, though it's lack of Reliable recovery makes it easy to wear down.
Is it OP?: If it goes for Focus Energy, there will always be something that can wall it no mater what coverage moves it runs, meaning it is going to need a teammates to get rid of whatever walls the particular set you run. If it It's physical defense is notably low, meaning that it will have a hard time switching into Psyshocks or physical attacks. In addition, most Psychic types do carry moves that hit other Psychic types for Super Effective damage, meaning that they can muscle past Kritikrok even though it has high SpDef.

Ability: Flash Fire / Serene Grace | Prankster
Base stats: 78/68/75/105/89/115 (530 BST)
Useful Moves:
:
N/A
:
Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Moonblast, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Psyshock, Focus Blast
:
*Cleansing Fire, Nasty Plot, Calm Mind, Celebrate, Aromatherapy, Will-o-Wisp, Thunder Wave, Moonlight, Light Screen, Reflect,
*Cleansing Fire -
| 100% Acc. | Removes hazards, screens, and Leech Seed from both sides of the field. If any pokemon on the field has a status condition, they take 1/8 damage multiplied by their weakness or resistance to Fire, and the status condition is cured.
Sprite: Ninetales-Alola colored Orange
Size: 1.1 m
Weight: 17.9 kg
Gender: Default (50 / 50)
Competitive use: A fast sweeper or Prankster support pokemon. Despite its modest defenses, it has many tricks to keep itself alive, such as Serene Grace Moonblast and Prankster Will-o-Wisp. Fire teams will appreciate its great support options such as priority hazard removal and speed control. They will also appreciate a fast Dual Screen setter to support Mega Charizard X. Fairy teams will enjoy having a setup sweeper that heavily threatens Steel-types with its Fire STAB and Fighting coverage.
Is it broken?: Neither its bulk nor its power is too stellar. It will have to set up to do a lot of damage, and it will have difficulty with powerful attacks on defensive Prankster sets. It may have a powerful ability to snowball with Calm Mind / Will-o-Wisp / Moonlight / Moonblast, but most teams should have the ability to pressure it with hazards, strong attacks, or status.
Pokedex: Having grown in wisdom, it no longer starts fires unless an area is too overgrown. The mightier the trees it destroys, the more potent the healing properties of the ashes it creates.



Ability: Regenerator / Flame Body | Serene Grace (HA)
Base stats: 77 HP / 88 Atk / 66 Def / 133 SpA / 122 SpD / 44 Spe | 530 BST
Useful Moves
: Sacred Fire,
: Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Giga Drain, Leaf Storm, Thunderbolt, Future Sight, Doom Desire,
: Morning Sun, Leech Seed, Infestation, Aromatherapy, Destiny Bond, Will-o-Wisp
Sprite: Brown Tangela on fire
Weight: 10 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 0.7 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: An almighty RegenVest user that can rain fire and brimstone upon the enemies of Grass teams, or see its Fire team safely across a sea of Water-types.
Is it broken?: It will always have Stealth Rock and physical attacks as its weaknesses. If fully invested in defense, strong attacks on either end of the spectrum can still bring it down. Depending on its Hidden Power choice, Heatran or Dragon types will wall it.
Pokedex: It appears as a small bush that's burning, but never consumed by the flame. Legends tell of this Pokemon appearing before heroes to lead them to their destiny.



Ability: Hyper Cutter / Moxie | Rough Skin (HA)
Base stats: 85 HP / 105 Atk / 90 Def / 65 SpA / 75 SpD / 110 Spe | 530 BST
Useful Moves
: Saw Strike, Liquidation, Aqua Jet, Drill Run, U-turn, Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Wild Charge, Crunch
: N/A
: Taunt, Spikes, Swords Dance, Agility,
*Saw Strike -
| 45 BP | 90% Acc. | Hits twice. High critical hit ratio.
Sprite: Grey Mantine with a Vikavolt-esque sawtooth coming out of its face
Weight: 23 kg
Gender: Default (50/50)
Size: 1.2 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: Water/Steel tends to be an amazing typing defensively and mediocre offensively; however, because both mono types already have a plethora of walls, I wanted to leverage that defensive utility on more of a fast pokemon that could use its defensive prowess for support while keeping up momentum. Serrark is a fast Spikes setter with Taunt, U-turn, and Swords Dance, alongside a decent offensive movepool that will make it quite versatile and customizeable.
Is it broken?: Neither its attack nor its bulk are overwhelming. It generally takes a lot for a utility pokemon like this to become broken.
Pokedex: It can sense the electrical signature of prey such as Stunfisk hiding in the sand. It uses its long nose to dig them out and then swings it around wildly to cut them to pieces.



Ability: Bulletproof / Battle Armor | Stamina (HA)
Base stats: 90 HP / 110 Atk / 125 Def / 60 SpA / 55 SpD / 80 Spe | 520 BST
Useful Moves
: Outrage, Dragon Claw, Megahorn, X-Scissor, Superpower, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Iron Head
: N/A
: Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Defog, Whirlwind,
Sprite: Red Mega Heracross
Weight: 102 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 2.5 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: A bulky dragon designed to set up Dragon Dance and/or Swords Dance on physical attackers. It provides a physically bulky win condition that can easily set up multiple boosts on some physical attackers. Because Bug and Dragon don't complement each other very well offensively, it may opt to run one STAB move alongside EdgeQuake coverage in order to get the most extra coverage for whichever mono type it's being used on.
Is it broken?: It has a definite achilles heel in its base 55 SpD, which should make revenge killing it not so difficult. It's definitely a wincon for which you need to clear out certain revenge killers before setting up.
Pokedex: It's known to charge wildy when angered, smashing right through any trees or boulders in its path. When facing smaller enemies, it simply uses its massive wings to blow them away.



Ability: Miasma
Miasma - While this pokemon is on the field, opposing pokemon are constantly under the effects of Torment. This effect is blocked by Aroma Veil and blocked one time by Mental Herb. The effect can also be ended with Defog.
Base stats: 60 HP / 115 Atk / 40 Def / 125 SpA / 135 SpD / 90 Spe | 570 BST
Useful Moves
: Gunk Shot, Zen Headbutt, Phantom Force, Sucker Punch
: Psychic, Psyshock, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Clear Smog, Dark Pulse, Focus Blast
: Taunt, Disable, Encore, Calm Mind,
Sprite: Pink Nihilego
Weight: 10 kg
Gender: Genderless
Size: 0.7 m
Egg Group(s): Undiscovered
Competitive use: Paralogo auto-casts Torment upon switching in, giving it the rather powerful ability to make its enemies struggle with Encore. With this ability as well as its high offensive stats and Poison immunity, it functions as a good stall breaker and check to many slower teams. It can find many niches, such as a sweeper with Sub + CM or a stallbreaker that can Taunt various Mental Herb setup leads that are popular in Monotype for Sticky Web and Trick Room teams.
Is it broken?: Making any slower pokemon Struggle may seem broken until you realize that switching will always cause Encore to fail, and Paralogo's Defense is so bad that Struggle will often do a decent chunk to it.
Pokedex: If you inhale too much of the foul smelling vapor it produces, it will be able to take control of your mind. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.

Special moves: Gets all of Yanmega's special moves plus Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, and Flamethrower

Sprite: Forest Green Yanmega with 6 wings, Dark Red eyes, and black spikes running down its entire body.
Weight: 183.5lbs/ 83.23kg
Gender: 50% male, 50% female
Competitive use: Yantitan helps out dragon and bug teams with breaking through Steels with STAB Tinted Lens-boosted Draco Meteor, and can be a fast sweeper with Speed Boost
Is it broken?: It has bad bulk, a not-so-great defensive typing, and if it runs Tinted Lens, and falls victim to the dreaded 100 base speed tie.

Is it broken?: While its typing is decent defensively and offensively, its poor defenses and weakness to hazards make it easy to wear down. Also, it finds itself walled by Heatran if it doesn't run a Fighting or Ground move, and Dragon types, if it doesn't run Dragon Claw, Ice Punch, Rock Slide (For Dragon/Flyings), or Superpower (For Kyurem).

Is it broken?: While it has nice bulk, it suffers the same problem many Fire types do: it has a big hazards weakness if it doesn't tun Magic Guard. Also, its pretty easy to wear down if it doesn't run Recover.[/HIDE]

Weight: 200 kg
Gender: 50m / 50 f
Size: 2.75 m
Egg Group(s): Bug, Dragon
Competitive use: Scordrakon is a potent set up sweeper, with Heatproof to grant an effective resist to Fire for Bug teams, and a wallbreaker that ultilizes low accuracy moves to full effect.
Is it broken?: Scordrakon's bulk is only modest at best, and is walled by Steel or Fairy types depending on what coverage it runs.
Pokedex:
Scordrakon, the Sun Basking Pokemon
Scordrakon enjoys absorbing the sun's ray during the day, as it utilizes this energy to hunt at night.

Pokedex: WIP
 
superstrike66 could you please put your creations in Hide tabs. If you don't know how, type HIDE=Pokemon's name in square brackets at the beginning and /HIDE again in square brackets at the end. Thanks.

Anaconja what typing would you like to nominate for this slate? If you can't think of one, I will fill in the blank.

Anyway, here's are my creations

/


Base Stats: 50 / 120 / 60 / 110 / 70 / 90 [500 BST]
Abilities: Dancer, Serene Grace
Useful moves
Physical: Megahorn, Outrage, Low Kick, Earthquake, U-turn
Special: Draco Meteor, Bug Buzz, Fiery Dance, Focus Blast
Status: Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Quiver Dance
Weight: 21.6 lbs, 9.79 kgs
Size: 5 ft 1 in, 1.55 m
Gender: All
Egg Groups: Bug, Dragon
Sprite: Beedrill coloured black
Competetive use: It's kind of like a poor man's Rayquaza: high mixed attacking stats, serviceable speed, low bulk. I think it's main use would be a mixed wallbreaker, with Draco Meteor, Fiery Dance, Earthquake and U-turn. It could also run Dragon Dance and Quiver Dance sets, although it's low bulk would make setting up difficult.
Is it broken? For one thing, it's very frail - 50/60/70 bulk is pretty terrible. It's also not that fast; even at +1 it's slower than Scarf Landorus-T, Terrakion and Blacephalon, all of which can revenge kill it. It's also weak to all entry hazards, and you will be hard pressed to find a team that doesn't have any Rock, Flying, Ice, Fairy or Dragon type moves. Bulky Fairy types can give it problems too.
Pokedex: It twists and twirls though the skies, completely oblivious to the weather conditions. Research is underway to see if they can be used to rescue people in storm ravaged areas.


/


Base Stats: 65, 110, 70, 70, 70, 115 [500 BST]
Abilities: Run Away, Moxie, Flame Body
Useful moves
Physical: Flare Blitz, Play Rough, Wild Charge, High Horsepower
Speical: N/A SpA is too low
Status: Morning Sun, Will-O-Wisp
Weight: 209.4 lbs, 95 kg
Size: 5 ft 7 in, 1.7m
Gender: All
Egg groups: Field
Sprite: Rapidash coloured pink
Competetive use: It serves as a nice revenge killer and late game cleaner thanks to its high Speed and Moxie. It gives Fire teams a check to Terrakion, and Fairy teams a check to Scizor.
Is it broken? Its typing makes it weak to all hazards, it isn't very bulky at all, and most physical walls that aren't weak to Fire (Hippowdon) can easily stop it before it gets too far
Pokedex: It is able to smell and feed off the emotions of other Pokemon and humans. It almost never has to eat solid food, despite being able to run over 150 miles per hour.


/


Base Stats: 95 / 55 / 83 / 137 / 79 / 71 [520 BST]
Abilities: Water Absorb, Flash Fire, Chlorophyll
Useful moves
Physical: N/A (Atk is too low)
Special: Giga Drain, Fire Blast, Focus Blast, Solar Beam, Hidden Power
Status: Nasty Plot, Synthesis, Will-o-Wisp, Leech Seed
Weight: 0.4 lbs, 0.18 kgs
Size: 0.2 ft, 0.06 m
Gender: All
Egg groups: Grass
Sprite: Seedot coloured red
Competetive use: On Grass teams, it serves as an important check to threatening Fire types like Volcarona thanks to Flash Fire. Although I suppose it could also be a Nasty Plot wallbreaker, as it can decimate Steel teams once Heatran's down. It finally gives Fire teams a good Chlorophyll abuser, in Sun it can outrun Scarf Keldeo, and its Fire attacks become devastating. It could also run a more defensive set on Fire, as it can check Water-types with Water Absorb and its Grass STAB.
Is it broken? Outside of sun it is rather slow, and while it has decent bulk it doesn't have many useful resistances. Defensive sets can't scratch Heatran, it is very susceptible to Toxic and of course it's weak to all entry hazards. If it does win the vote though, I will ban Heat Rock.
Pokedex: It secrets spicy oils as a defence mechanism. These oils are so spicy that 1 drop can season a dish made for 100 people, and even Fire types can't eat it.


/


Base stats: 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 / 100
Abilities: Corrosion
Useful moves
Psychical: U-turn
Special: Sludge Bomb, Psyshock, Psychic, Stored Power, Aura Sphere, Psychotoxin
Psychotoxin: if the target is poisoned, cuts their HP in half and reduces their defence and special defence by 1 stage. 20 PP, 100% accuracy, Psychic type. Z Power: 100. Fails if the target is not poisoned.

Status: Taunt, Toxic, Calm Mind, Toxic Spikes, Recover
Gender: None
Egg groups: Undiscovered
Weight: 100 kg, 220.7lbs
Size: 6 ft 11 in, 2.11 m
Sprite: Poipole coloured light pink
Competitive use: Its main role will be that of a bulky stallbreaker, which it can accomplish in one of two ways. Either it can run a set featuring Taunt, Toxic, Psychotoxin and Recover (which thanks to Corrosion also hits Steel and Poison types) or it can run a Calm Mind set with Calm Mind, Stored Power, Taunt and Recover. It also provides Psychic teams with a Toxic Spikes setter, which AFAIK they don't have right now.
Is it broken? It's not very powerful without a boost, and while its typing is solid defensively, offensively it's absolutely terrible. It also has no coverage to speak of outside Aura Sphere, which I can't see it having space to fit in. Mega Sableye also shuts it down completely, being immune to Taunt, Toxic and Psychotoxin.
Pokedex: Its uses its immense telekinetic powers to mutate viruses. In ancient times, people worshipped it out of fear that it was cause a plague if they didn't.

Hello! I guess I could give my own submissions. All of my subs are done but I could do another one if anyone really wants me to. I’m glad that I can participate!

Poison/Psychic
Name: Rotoracle (rhetorical but with rot+oracle)
Ability: Forewarn, Inner Focus, Competitive
Base stats: 78/115/89/125/97/87 [BST: 591]
Useful Moves
Physical: Psycho Cut, Gunk Shot, Sucker Punch
Special: Sludge Wave, Psychic, Psyshock, Focus Blast, Grass Knot
Status: Nasty Plot, Work Up, Toxic Spikes
Sprite: Gardevoir with a purple dress, black hair, and one eye.
Weight: 110lbs=49.8952kg
Gender: 100% Female (what Gardevoir’s gender ratio should’ve been)
Competitive use: Rotoracle is used as a late game Nasty Plot or Work Up cleaner that has powerful STABs to break through opposing fat. It also has an amazing ability in Competitive to punish opposing Defoggers.
Is it broken?: 87 Speed leaves much to be desired and it’s only move with priority is Sucker Punch so that could make it use Work Up in order to prevent itself from being walled by opposing Psychics. Sucker Punch can also punish Rotoracle if it guesses wrong in a 50/50.

Pokédex Entries: Rotoracle is often solving puzzles to fuel its telekinetic abilities. It loves to use its trainer to practice its telekinesis.

Rotoracle can view a million possible futures. It will warn its trainer if it sees a negative outcome for their actions in a possible future.

Fire/Grass
Name: Lavarbor (lava+arbor as in Arbor Day)
Ability: Beserk, Flare Boost, Fuel to the Fire (Water Absorb clone but for Fire-type moves)
Base stats: 98/67/102/90/121/45 [BST: 523]
Useful Moves
Physical: Power Whip, Elemental Punches, Leech Life, Earthquake
Special: Giga Drain, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Air Slash
Status: Leech Seed, Synthesis, Stealth Rock, Stun Spore, Toxic
Sprite: Trevenant but it’s a lot more pissed off and has flames surrounding it’s darker areas. The leaves on this “Trevenant” are also on fire.
Weight: 305lbs=138.346kg
Gender: 50% Male/50% Female
Competitive use: I wanted to take a different turn with this Pokémon by making it a Stealth Rock lead. It offers great longevity with Leech Seed and Synthesis and its ability lets it pivot into Fire type attacks. Its immunity to Fire type attacks along with compressing Stealth Rock could make this Pokémon an essential component of Grass teams. It’s mixed bulk also makes it one hard nut to crack.
Is it broken?: Grass/Fire is still an awkward defensive typing even with its ability and a lack of Spore makes Lavarbor far less annoying to fight against. Lavarbor also has to pick and choose its two other moves outside of Synthesis and Stealth Rock.

Pokedex Entries: Lavarbor tends to not be a good pet due to its short temper. If you get even a drop of water on a Lavarbor, it will ignite everything near it in a one mile radius.

Lavarbor are often the cause of forest fires. Other Pokémon usually stay away from Lavarbor in fear that they might set it off.


Bug/Dragon
Name: Tarantagon (tarantula+dragon)
Ability: Sniper, Tinted Lens, Rough Skin
Base stats: 78/115/90/52/98/96 [BST: 529]
Useful Moves
Physical: Horn Dart, U-turn, Dragon Claw, Outrage, Elemental Fangs, Leech Life, Megahorn, Close Combat, Poison Jab
Special: 52 SpA lol
Status: Eye Scan, Sticky Web
New Moves
Horn Dart: [Physical] [100 BP] [Dragon] [This move has a high critical hit ratio] [Z-move: 145 BP Devestating Drake]
Eye Scan: [Status] [Bug] [Raises Attack by 1 stage and boosts your chances of landing a critical hit] [Z-Move: +1 Attack (so basically Z is Swords Dance+Focus Energy)]
Sprite: Galvantula with horns on its head and its abdomen. Its primary color is brown with tan as a secondary color and it has a gray bio-armor surrounding it.
Weight: 93lbs=42.1841kg
Gender: 50% Male/50% Female
Competitive use: Sniper is an ability that I’ve always been intrigued by. Basically Sniper doubles the damage of a move if you land a critical hit. These were my results by making the perfect Pokémon that could abuse Sniper. Eye Scan+Horn Dart makes for an interesting combination and Megahorn is also a strong Bug STAB (as long as it lands). It can also utilize Sticky Web if need be.
Is it broken?: Bug/Dragon is a typing that just screams you want to be cockblocked by Fairies. You could use Poison Jab but then that means you get walled by Steel-types and you could use Close Combat to nail the Steels but then get screwed by the Fairies. I wouldn’t be surprised if a Choice Band set began to be used for this.

Pokedex Entries: Tarantagon usually hunts alone and searches for their prey from atop hills. They use their eyes as scopes and can see objects 5 miles away at max.

Tarantagon snipes its prey with a fatal dart from its body from the side of hills and mountains. When they are bored, they use Yanma as target practice.

Name: Scuttlebeast
Types: Bug / Dragon
Ability: Speed Boost / Bouncing Wings (Magic Bounce clone but with physical attacks rather than status attacks, and only bounces 25% power with its attack stat not theirs) / Intimidate (a lure for Mold Breakers lol)
Base stats: 90/65/95/65/70/145 (530 BST)
Useful Moves:
Physical: U-Turn, Foul Play, Outrage
Special: Draco Meteor, Bug Buzz
Status: Defog, Roost, Taunt, Thunder Wave, Tailwind, Parting Shot, Glare, Sticky Webs
Sprite: a more dragony (definitely a word) serperior with 100 legs
Weight: 20 kg
Gender: Male/Female
Competitive use: A very fast pivot and the best defensive wall out there. Glare, Sticky Webs and Tailwind give speed control, Taunt shuts down a lot of popular walls, Defog removes hazards, Parting Shot means it’s gone before you can touch it and Roost is reliable recovery.
Is it broken?: It’s incredibly useful HA means it is the best physical wall, and may be broken combined with its speed. However, it struggles to come in on anything but physical attacks, and once it’s Paralysed or Toxiced, it can be worn down and dead. U-Turn and Parting Shot makes it a nuisance to deal with on teams though. Also Mold Breaker And Gastro Acid takes its viability completely away. Taunt shuts it down if it has Parting Shot over U-Turn though.

Name: Lavagriculture (lava + agriculture, bad name ik)
Ability: Heatupstrike (Hits twice with every fire move but ignores other effects of the move the second time), Iron Fist, Heat Proof (HA)
Base stats: 100 / 145 / 110 / 60 / 110 / 50 [BST: 550]
Useful Moves
Physical: Flame Fist (fire, 60 BP, lowers all opponent’s stats by 1), Leaf Blade, Flare Blitz, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Power-Up Punch, Bullet Punch, Leafy Menace (Grass, 120 BP, lowers users speed by 2, 100% accuracy), U-Turn,
Special: it’s a physical attacker wouldn’t ever use special attacks
Status: Parting Shot, Synthesis, Bulk Up, Swords Dance, Substitute, Refresh
Sprite: Zeraora but with more muscles, looking slower and bulkier, red and green, showing massive fists.
Weight: 115KG
Gender: 85% Male/15% Female
Competitive use: A complete menace to try and tank. Iron Fist with all the elemental punches and Bullet Punch and Flame Fists makes it incredibly annoying to wall. It’s also very bulky, hard to break, and synthesis allows it to avoid getting worn down, as well as Refresh. Heatupstrike allows it to be an incredibly annoying Pokemon with Flame Fist, making their attacks do less and less until you can outspeed it or straight up KO it. With Heatupstrike, it hits twice with that 60 power move, allowing its mediocre BP to be compensated for and have an incredibly strong move. Could even run a useful fire resist . You must run a physically attacking set, unless you wanna make an unset.
Is it broken?: Grass/Fire isn’t that hard to break in terms of super effective move, and all it takes is one Brave Bird from a decent attack stat, and it’s dead. Still, it’s very hard to switch into, with all its coverage options. For example, another Heatproof Lavagriculture may switch in only to be annoyed by a U-Turn, or Parting Shot. It may very well be broken, though.

My creations (will edit in no.5 later).

Base stats: 104 / 56 / 123 / 117 / 70 / 60 [530 BST]
Ability: Levitate
Useful moves
Physical: N/A
Special: Stored Power, Psyshock, Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Signal beam, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Discharge
Status: Calm Mind, Substitute, Recover, Reflect, Light Screen
Weight: 100 kgs, 220.46 kgs
Size: 1.8 m, 5.9 ft
Sprite: Beheeyem coloured yellow
Gender: None
Egg group: Mineral
Competetive use: It gives Electric teams an answer to stuff like Chansey and Mega Venusaur, and also a bulky sweeper, which they don't have at the moment. On Psychic it can also form the role of a bulky sweeper, and unlike Mega Latias and Mega Slowbro it doesn't take up your mega slot, letting you use the superior Mega Galalde. On both types it can also set up Screens and use a slow Volt Switch to safely bring in teammates.
Is it broken?: It's slow, doesn't boast many resistances, and is highly suspectible to Toxic. It also straight up loses to most bulky Dark types like Tyranitar, and it has major 4mss. It would like to run Substitute, Calm Mind, Stored Power, Thunderbolt and Recover.
Pokedex: It has the ability to manipulate technology at will. Where many of these Pokemon gather, they can block out satellite signals.


/


Base stats: 134 / 84 / 104 / 104 / 84 / 70 [580 BST]
Ability: Crystal Core
Crystal Core: All damage dealing moves are either physical or special depending on which stat is higher. Z moves and status moves are not affected. Moves that reduce an attack stat will reduce the one used (so Special Superpower would cut Defence and Special Attack one stage). If both stats are the same, moves are physical.
Useful moves
Physical: Brave Bird, Earthquake, Acrobatics
Special: Crystal Beam, Hurricane, Air Slash
Crystal Beam: 100 BP, Special, Rock type, 10 PP, 100% accuracy, no secondary effects. Z Power: 180
Status: Calm Mind, Rock Polish, Substitute, Defog, Stealth Rock, Whirlwind
Weight: 44 kgs, 97 lbs
Size: 1.34 m, 4.4 ft
Sprite: Emolga coloured grey
Gender: None
Egg group: Undiscovered
Competetive use: Both Rock and Flying don't really have a good bulky sweeper, and Selenimbus fills that niche extremely well. With Substitute, Calm Mind, a STAB (neither has any immnities) and Whirlwind it makes a phaze proof booster that can be very difficult to take down after a few Calm Minds. Of course a more offensive Calm Mind spread can be run too. It also gives Rock teams a Defogger.
Is it broken? It struggles with bulky Steel types, as the only coverage move it has is Earthquake, which misses out on Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, Celesteela and Skarmory. It also has no reliable recovery, making it very susceptible to status if it doesn't run Rest.
Pokedex: One of the four sacred treasures of the Priviosa region. It floats through the sky without a care in the world, unaffected by the pull of gravity. Even being struck by lightning doesn't trouble it.




Base Stats (King forme): 120 / 100 / 80 / 40/ 120 / 40 [500 BST] (Queen forme): 60 / 130 / 60 / 80 / 60 / 110 [500 BST]
Ability: Kingly Fortitude / Telepathy (King forme); Queenly Majesty / Moxie (Queen forme)
Kingly Fortitude: If the foe uses a supereffective attack on the user, the user takes no damage and receives a +2 defence boost. Only happens once per battle, even if the user is switched out.
Useful moves
Physical (King): Payback, Foul Play, Earthquake, Rapid Spin, Sacred Sword, Counter. (Queen): Queen's Sword, Sacred Sword, Earthquake, Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade
Queen's Sword: Normal Type, Physical, base 120 power, 80% accuracy, 5 PP, makes contact. Matches the user's primary typing. Z Power: 190 (is always Breackneck Biltz).
Special: Mirror Coat (King). N/A for Queen (SpA is too low)
Status (King): Recover, King's Shield, Refresh, Bulk Up. (Queen): Swords Dance
Weight: 300 kgs, 661.3 lbs (both)
Size: 7.9 ft, 2.4m (both)
Sprite: Regirock coloured black (King); Gallade coloured black (Queen)
Gender: Male only (King forme); Female only (Queen forme)
Egg group: Humanlike
Competetive use: The King forme will provide Dark teams with a Rapid Spinner, something they don't have right now. While Mandibuzz can Defog, I believe Shogessack-K will be more useful on Spikes stacking teams, as it won't remove your own hazards. Meanwhile Shogessack-Q is a great wallbreaker and late game cleaner, as 110 Speed coupled with Queenly Majesty puts is ahead of a good chunk of the metagame while base 130 attack combined with Swords Dance gives it frightening power.
Is it broken? King is extremely slow, and with common weaknesses to Fightning and Fairy moves most teams will have an answer to it. It's also not very strong. Queen forme is a total glass cannon, as while she is fast and powerful, pretty much anything that can stomach a hit and hit back can ground her. Her STAB also has shaky accuracy, and she can't rectify it with a Z crystal.
Pokedex: A pair of Shogessack controls a pack of Blawn, with the female leading the charge and the male directing from the rear via telepathy. They have an eternal rivalry with Shogessite.


Fighting / Ghost

Base stats: 75 / 85 / 65 / 125 / 65 / 80 [500 BST]
Ability: Unnerve, Justified, Soundproof
Useful moves
Physical: N/A
Special: Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Hidden Power, Thunderbolt
Status: Nasty Plot, Taunt
Weight: 65 lbs, 29.4 kgs
Size: 3.5 ft, 1.04 m
Sprite: Sawk coloured black
Gender: All
Egg group: Humanlike
Competitive use: I see Dantom as a stallbreaker, with a set of Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast and Taunt. Its high special attack lets it break through walls like Chansey and Porygon2 combined with its perfect neutral coverage.
Is it broken? It's pretty frail, boasting only average 75 / 65 / 65 defences. What's more, there are a plethora of faster Pokemon in the tier like Landorus-T, Latias, Alakazam, Blacephalon, Gengar and Mega Diancie that can outrun and easily revenge kill it, as it doesn't have priority. While it will do well against stall, offensive teams can normally stop it. Neither Ghost nor Fighting has Sticky Web either.
Pokedex: Said to be the spirit of a fighter cheated out of its defining victory. It wanders the land, seeking the opponent who wronged it all those years ago.


Item

Description: When held by Manaphy, allows it to convert Rain Dance into the Z move Everlasting Rain.
Everlasting Rain: 1 PP, Status move. Effect: Summons heavy rain. This rain will last as long as Manaphy is on the field, and will not be overriden by regular Sun, Rain, Sandstorm or Hail.
Sprite: Waterium Z
Competetive use: In conjunction with Manaphy's Hydration ability, this will allow Manaphy to effectively become immune to status. It could run it with either Tail Glow or Calm Mind, depending on whether you prefer raw power or bulk.
Is it broken?: By running Rain Dance, Manaphy will have to forgo coverage, meaning it will always be walled by something depending on what it runs. As it can't use Z Rain Dance anymore, it also can't boost its speed, leaving it reliant on Sticky Web to sweep faster teams. It also only gets one chance to sweep.
