[ryangregory78]

Purple

Original Pokemon: Swalot
New Pokemon: Swirlot
Type: Water/Ghost
Abilities: Poison Heal / Mold Breaker / Cursed Body (HA)
Stats: 100 / 33 / 93 / 103 / 73 / 65 (467 BST)

Height: Same as Swalot
Flavor / Explanation: A big ghost monster that uses a whirlpool to manifest itself. An idea in paranormal spheres is that water amplifies spiritual energy, thus allowing ghosts to manifest through it. As such, Swirlot literally uses the water to manifest itself by emerging through a whirlpool.
Competitive Role: This mon exists almost solely to destroy stall. Immune to status via Poison Heal, traps and removes walls with Whirlpool + status + SToss/NShade, sets up with Calm Mind, blocks Spin to protect hazard, tricks Toxic Orbs to cripple switch-ins, et cetera. Also probably one the hardest Sneasler counter ever devised on account of typing and status immunity.

It has Thief to hit Ghosts, and Trailblaze to both hit Waters and buff it's Speed. Intended to serve as a cleaner with SD priority, or as a wallbreaker with its big stupid STAB Icicle Spear.

 

[lavarina]

24 hours warning! and a little it was not little metagame post after the two roomtours we had! Once again, thank you to all the players who made their time to come and play ^^
note we dont have sprites for all the mons and i cant be bothered to search through my gallery so er, lmao

The Top Threats

Gunk Shots you

Condorus was already expected to be a strong threat in or outside of Sand teams. It already has a good speed tier of 106, and having it boosted in Sand makes it outspeed the entire metagame. It can hit hard on both the physical and special side, having Poison, Flying and Ground coverage that basically hits anything it needs to hit. Not to mention the special side has Nasty Plot still. We're not sure if it's overbearing yet since it hasn't been long since it debuted, but it's showing off great so far.

And then we have the Wugtrio themselves. This thing has been an absolute terror to the meta, having people needed to use Mud or Scarf Zarune to deal with it. Base 123 speed is the second highest we've got after Glimmaurora, who can't do anything to it other than a burn from Dazzling Spin before going down by a Triple Dive. And mind you, this Triple Dive is coming from a 110 Attack boosted with Technician. If you don't have a dedicated answer to Wugtrio then you're bound to get swept. Grass types can't do anything since it's part Poison with the access to Gunk Shot, save for Appleton of course. But then it just U-Turns out of there before you can do anything. We might see this getting a potential nerf should there be more support in this notion. But overall, Wugtrio is very much a threat that you have to remember while building a team.

Defensive Ghosts

Boo

These two have proven themselves to be excellent in their respective roles. You can never go wrong with putting them in your team. With Magic Bounce, Mirroar can switch in on hazards and status easily while also teleporting away. Safely bringing in another teammate. Its defenses along with its Normal/Ghost typing makes it a formidable wall that you have to respect it if you don't have a proper way to deal with it. The only thing holding Mirroar back is reliable recovery, but it doesn't hinder it that much.

Iron Threads on the other hand has an amazing ability in Filter. With its great defenses, it's able to withstand even supereffective attacks from knocking it out from full, letting it either get away with a Rapid Spin or grabbing a knock out against opposing Ghosts such as Smoninja. Of course, it doesn't have recovery either. But it does just fine without it, rocking with either Leftovers or Assault Vest. Its access to Spirit Shackle is also nice, letting it trap Pokemon that can't do much to it back.

Water Types

Gulugulu

Other than Wugtrio, we have other Water types that have fierce competition. Soaperior can be a potent threat once its behind a substitute and starts setting up. You'd have to try and find out if its either physical or special as well, less you make the wrong choice. Throh on the other hand has one job and one job only, get Poisoned and start using Bulk Up. If you don't have a way to get rid of Throg easily, then it's going to be quite difficult to win.

Beavor unfortunately got the short end of the stick. With Wugtrio around, there's no need to use Beavor despite having 130 Attack paired with Sharpness. It's too slow for the meta and Normal typing doesn't do anything for it at all. It's in an awkward spot, and hopefully we can do something about it soon.

Eelix and Mud are our premier defensive Waters. A monstrous 75/105/150 bulk from Eelix lets it sponge special attacks comfortably, along with the immunity in Volt Absorb. Its access to Scald along with Thunder Wave lets it spread status around, though other than that it's quite passive and hates getting setup on. The same goes for Mud, who's our only Water immune wall. It's not the greatest out there, but it can still do its job well and has access to Toxic. Not the best, but still solid at their job.

Ground types (and Sand too ig)

Eats sand

From the day it debuted, Zarune has been running around on rampage. Strong Earthquakes and healing status from its signature in Runic Rebellion always kept its momentum going. The access to U-Turn ensures that it gets out of there safely too. Though with the meta's development, Scarf has been its go to set to ensure that Wugtrio doesn't kill it with Triple Dive. Even then, it's still a popular choice.

Sand was hyped up when Abomarang dropped in, and Arcamine's buffs made it even more exciting. There's a few Sand games in the tour, but overall Arcamine didn't really do much due to the fact it got outshined by Condorus. It still has a great job outside of sand though, having access to Guard Dog that blocks Intimidate from Crowhat and dishing out heavy hitting damage. Meanwhile Abomarang was mostly used as a sand setter, but hey it's doing its job properly. Shore Up, Stone Axe, U-Turn, Earthquake, you can never go wrong with that.

Defensive Walls

Walls you

All of these physical attackers are dropping in like candy yet we don't have the proper walls to deal with them. Fetagross had the highest usage, with its Lingering Aroma ability (which is not working but it worked before and it was great) and 90/130/90 bulk, it could have either a Utility role or a Choice Band attacker coming off of 120 Attack. Seriously, mono-fairy typing does wonders for it along with access to Defog and Stealth Rock. The only thing missing is, you guessed it, reliable recovery. But it still got into many teams for a reason, a dedicated physical wall.

Aurodactyl, Sapras and Appleton are primarily special walls with recovery. Aurodactyl has Heatproof which gives it a fighting chance against opposing fire types (seriously thing survived a lot) and Sapras has Natural Cure which makes it hard to wear down. And Appleton is sort of a mix of both, having Thick Fat and being a Steel with recovery. Still, they end up getting the shorter end because of how many physical attackers we have. Needing to invest in physical bulk and Aurodactyl using Rocky Helmet for threats such as Wugtrio and Zarune. Mirroar can't carry the whole thing on its back yk, and our other options such as Kabluxie and Fetagross are coincidentally weak to the top threats. So that sucks.

Pivots

U-Turning

A lot of mons have U-Turn and Volt Switch. You can imagine how that's like. Deoxin having Poison Touch and literally every move it wants such as Recover and Knock Off is pretty much why it always does its job well. While Crowhat is always reliable with Intimidate shenanigans. Its pretty fast too, having 115 base speed. Not much to say, just U-Turning as usual.

Lord that was a lot to write. There's a lot more to uncover and hell this might not even be that consistent but I don't want this to be too lengthy. Feel free to add or discuss anything about the meta. And remember, 24 hours before subs close!

[lavarina]

forgor, subs are now closed! please wait for vetos

 

[lavarina]

incomes vetoes! 24 hours as usual!

Original Pokémon: Iron Valiant
New Pokémon: Iron Alien
Types:

Stats: 74 / 120 / 60 / 130 / 90 / 116 | 590
Abilities: Quark Drive / Neuroforce
Move Changes:
+ Psyblade, Expanding Force, Cosmic Power, Gravity, Lunar Blessing, Lunar Dance, Teleport, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Meteor Beam, Power Gem, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Sandstorm, Earth Power
- all Fairy-type moves, all Fighting-type moves besides Close Combat and Aura Sphere
Flavor: ayy lmao
Competitive Description: potent meteor beamer. neuroforce allows it to take advantage of its extremely wide coverage.

With Neuroforce and high attack stats, this was definitely going to add to the terrors of the metagame. Not to mention that it also has Quark Drive in a mod where a reliable Electric Terrain setter exists. Council decides that reducing its special attack by 10 should be fine.

Original Pokemon: Crabominable
New Pokemon: Stabominable
Type: Dark/Steel
Abilities: Sharpness/Steelworker/Adaptability
Stats: 97/132/90/40/54/65 (BST 478)
Weight: same as base
Movepool Changes:

+Ceaseless Edge, Kowtow Cleave, Sacred Sword, Smart Strike, Gen 9 Universals
- All Ice Moves, all fighting moves

Height: same as base
Flavor / Explanation: crabwithaknife.gif. Hidden ability is Adaptability because Puns.
Competitive Role: Choice Band, most likely.

All of its abilities are stupid crazy. Think of Kingambit but on literal steroids. All abilities must be changed, along with a major stat rework too. Tag us on the discord server or ask here if you need any help with it!

Original Pokemon: Darmanitan
New Pokemon: Dramanitan
Type:

Abilities: Two-Face (Fancier name for Zen Mode)
Stats: 110 / 90 / 110 / 30 / 110 / 30 [BST: 480]
Weight: Same as Darmanitan

Dramanitan-Second

Type:

Stats: 110 / 135 / 65 / 40 / 65 / 125 [BST: 540]
Weight: Same as Darmanitan.

Movepool Changes:
+ Darkest Lariat, Knock Off, Last Resort, Swords Dance, Wish
- All the Fire moves!
Height: Same as Darmanitan.
Flavor / Explanation: Drama...
Competitive Role: Once again, I'm submitting a Wish Passer. This time, however, I also sneaks in the gimmick of Last Resort. Wish and Protect is a must on this Pokemon. Knock Off is a repellent of Ghosts that walls Last Resort. If you don't want to use Last Resort, just use U-turn! As I said, this is a Wish Passer.

This is not using Wish this is going to sweep with Belly Drum and go into Second form. Which, Would Really Suck Going Against. Nerf Second form's attack and speed, speed can go down to 95.

Original Pokemon: Nihilego
New Pokemon: Sedilego
Type: Ground
Abilities: Beast Boost/-/Well-Baked Body
Stats: 107/53/127/103/79/73
Weight: same
Movepool:
+ Scorching Sands, Earthquake, Earth Power, Shore Up, Will-O-Wisp, Chilling Water, Flash Cannon, Counter
- all Poison moves, all Electric moves
Flavour:
Role: Dedicated physdef wall. Kind of silly how the Ground type with the best physical bulk isn't even a defensive mon. Will help to check the likes of Condorus and Rotox.

With two immunities, recovery and Will-o-Wisp, this is pretty hard to remove. Council suggests either removing WoW and reducing Def by 10, OR keeping WoW but reducing Def by 15.

Original Pokémon: Corviknight
New Pokémon: Corodinight
Type:

Abilities: Corrosion / Poison Touch / Stench
Stats: 98 / 87 / 105 / 53 / 85 / 67 (495 BST)
Weight: unchanged
Movepool Changes:
+ Moonlight, Acid, Acid Armor, Acid Spray, Corrosive Gas, Cross Poison, Gunk Shot, Mortal Spin, Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb, Toxic, Crunch, Dark Pulse, Foul Play, Knock Off
- all Steel and Flying moves
Flavor/Explanation: A toxic bird.

Corrosion and Knock Off makes this impossible to switch into, especially with such a good typing in Poison/Dark. Despite the name, we recommend removing Corrosion and it'll be good.

Flavor / Explanation:
Zeraora has always seemed like a Fighting-type Pokemon due to it's movepool and physical appearance; emphasizing its fists and spring-like legs clearly made for kicking. I decided to give Kenatora one ability like Zeraora and a somewhat custom one, Electromorphosis except it's a Lightning Rod physical clone.
Competitive Role:
Great revenge killer due to it's blistering speed with a great set of STAB moves; Close Combat and Knock Off, alongside setup potential with Bulk Up.
