None, I don't think Soul Dew nerf is the way to approach it, and I think this is too drastic anyways

Not really a fan of all the "lets make every pokemon faster than 120" proposals that don't seem thought through so here's my votes.

Name: Outrage
Accuracy: 100%
Power: 120
Z-Power (if a signature attack): same than before
Category: Physical
PP: 15 (max 24)
Effect
: Has 33% recoil. 10% chance to lower target's Def by 1 stage.
Priority: same
Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): same
Type: Dragon
Justification: Making Outrage finally worth using over other Dragon physical STABs, for MGLO physical Dragons like Zekrom or Rayquaza.

Name: Color Change
Effect: This Pokemon's type changes to the type of a move before being hit by it, unless it has the type.
Justification: Resub. Turning this ability from bad to niche. It actually grants a really high number of resistances (10, being Grass, Fire, Water, Electric, Ice, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Dark and Steel), as well as poison, para, burn and freeze immunity, at the cost of 2 weaknesses (Ghost and Dragon). Still need to be worth over FurScales and stuff like that but could be good on things like Zygod or Lugia that hate their current typing.
Name: Bleakwind Storm and the other 3
Accuracy: 90
Justification: 80 is too bad while 100 is too good. So the average should be right.

Name: Trace
Effect: Copies the effect of the Pokemon's held item. Reveals the item on switch-in. Effective only if it's the Pokemon's first turn on the field.
Justification: Fun ability allowing you to have two same items. Too good if two Choice Bands so I give it the same restriction as Fake Out.

:sv/flygon:
Name: Flygon
Type: Bug/Dragon
Stats: 80/90/110/90/130/100 (BST: 600)
Justification: Ground resist which is not weak to fire. Almost the same physical bulk as Palkia and almost the same special bulk as Miraidon.
Name: Bolt Beak / Fishious Rend
Accuracy: 100
Power: 70 -> 75
Z-Power (if a signature attack): N/A
Category: Physical
PP: 16
Effect: Damage doubles if the user moves before the target.
Z-Effect (if a Status move): N/A
Priority: 0
Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): Contact, Fishious Rend is Biting
Type: Electric / Water
Pokémon With This Move (optional):
Justification: There is basically zero reason to use 140 BP Beak and Rend. 150 tones them down from standard but still keeps them actually worth using over Bolt Strike or a different coverage option. Only major risk with this is Hadron Zekrom may become unbalanced as a result.

:sm/pheromosa:
Name: Pheromosa
Type: Bug/Fighting
Stats: 71/137/37/137/37/151 -> 71/137/31/137/31/163 (-6 Def, -6 SpD, +12 Spe)
Justification: Gives Pheromosa a niche thanks to outspeeding Caly-S. -6/-6/+12 used instead of -5/-5/+10 because i'm pedantic and it keeps the statline as all prime numbers.

:ss/darmanitan-galar-zen:
Name: Galarian Darmanitan-Z
Type: Ice/Fire
Stats: 105/130/55/30/55/135 -> 105/145/55/30/55/135 (+15 Atk)
Justification: Nerfing offensive mons by gutting their offensive potential is not the way to do things. This only works with Caly because it's still a fast Ghost; DGZ still runs into the Fur Coat Water that's still on basically every team trying to check PDon. 145 makes it actually worth using but still keeps it below base, and is still low enough to ensure it can't go Jolly and get OPulse Atk.
Name: Ceaseless Edge / Stone Axe
Accuracy: Unchanged
Power: 65 -> 50
Category: Unchanged
PP: 24 -> 16
Effect: Unchanged
Priority: Unchanged
Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): Unchanged
Type: Unchanged
Justification: Ceaseless is broken even with Cloak, power nerf helps make it take longer to force recoveries and less appealing as main STAB for Darks, PP nerf means it ties with Tidy Up on PP.

Name: Anticipation
Effect: When the moves Doom Desire, Future Sight are used, they will activate an additional time on the turn after the move is originally used, in addition to the normal activation two turns after the move is originally used, with both activations deal 1/3rd less damage. For Wish, it will activate an additional time on the turn the move is used, in addition to the normal activation one turn after the move is originally used, with both activations restoring 1/3rd less health.
Permanent: No.
Ignoreable: Yes.
Justification: Doom Desire and Future Sight are fantastic offensive support tools that can enable some very creative and deadly combinations. Wish can also be very interesting support for certain Pokemon. This ability makes the moves quite a bit more effective, creating two turns of damage or immediate healing support for the user.

:sv/audino-mega:
Name: Audino-Mega
Type: Normal/Fairy
Stats: 103/60/126/80/126/50|535 -> 103/60/126/110/126/50|565 (+30 SpA)
Justification: Audino-Mega kind of fell off the meta pretty hard ever since mid USUM. A moderate SpA bump helps greatly reduce its passivity, letting Moonblast now 2HKO threats like Miraidon. This lets MAudino be a solid SpD pivot that can still do its usual role of switching into passive mons while retaining momentum, as Mega Gengar is less used, letting MAudino blanket most SpAers. It is still enormous bait for most Zac-C and PDon sets, making QD PH a less attractive option.
Name: Magician
Effect: While this Pokemon is active, the opponent's items have no effect.
Permanent: no
Ignoreable: yes
Justification: magician sucks so heres a similar effect but better

Name: Grass Pelt
Effect: On switchin, this Pokemon sets Grassy Terrain. This Pokemon's Def is 1.5x in Grassy Terrain.
Permanent: yes
Ignoreable: n/a
Justification: throwing an idea out there cause hadron engine has a big monopoly on terrains and adding a viable terrain might tone it down a notch

:sv/porygon2::ss/porygon-z:
Name: Porygon2 / Porygon-Z
Type: Normal / Ghost | Normal / Ghost
Stats: 85 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 115 / 60 | 530
Z Stats: 85 / 80 / 90 / 135 / 85 / 95 | 570
Justification: normal ghost is a pretty good mixed wall typing taking most special attacks neutrally which is good given 85/115 stats at +1. just be careful of koff, and note that its basically impossible to improof well. pz is a copemon if you wanted ghostceus but used ur arceus slot already
