i do not know the meta lol
Pokémon: Dodrio
Ability Modified: Early Bird
New Ability Name: Burly Bird
New Ability Effect: When this Pokemon has 3/4 or more of its maximum HP, rounded down, its offensive stat is multiplied by 1.5 while using a Flying-type attack.
Typing:
Stats: 110 HP / 110 Atk / 80 Def / 60 SpA / 70 SpD / 80 Spe / 510 BST
Movepool Changes: N/A
Competitive Role: Burly Bird grants Dodrio a fearsomely powerful Brave Bird, which when combined with its incredible coverage in Jump Kick and Knock along with SD, lets it easily blast through teams if not kept in check. One of the things keeping it in check however is Burly Bird itself, as the boost it provides is removed if Dodrio loses too much HP. The result is a wallbreaker that must manage its HP well in spite of Brave Bird's recoil damage and the passive damage caused by Helmet and Rocks if it wants to put in work. As such, Roost is a must have on Dodrio, and keeping it healthy is the name of its game.
Pokémon: Dedenne
Ability Modified: Pick Up
New Ability Name: Fu-
wait no
Actual New Ability Name: Muck Up
New Ability Effect: If the user's last move on the previous turn failed to do any of its normal effects or if the user was prevented from moving by any effect other than recharging, its next move does not check accuracy and its power is multiplied by 1.2. A move that was blocked by Baneful Bunker, Detect, King's Shield, Protect, Spiky Shield, Crafty Shield, Mat Block, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard will not activate this ability.
Typing:
Stats: 87 HP / 97 Atk / 87 Def / 51 SpA / 87 SpD / 91 Spe / 500 BST
Movepool Changes:
+ Bolt Strike, High Jump Kick
Competitive Role: Its design fits the ability name, it's perfect. Muck Up lets Dedenne punish switch-ins that are immune to its attacks with a never-miss stronger hit next turn in addition to making its inaccurate attacks more consistent. Bolt Strike, HJK and Play Rough are a strong combo, rlly only struggling against Toxtricity and Nidoqueen.
Pokémon: Giratina
Ability Modified: Pressure
New Ability Name: Pleasure
New Ability Effect: This Pokemon restores 1/16 of its maximum HP, rounded down, after it is damaged by a move.
Typing:
Stats: 100 HP / 80 Atk / 90 Def / 80 SpA / 90 SpD / 60 Spe / 500 BST
Movepool Changes: N/A
Competitive Role: Wholesome ability. There seems to be a lot of Fires and Waters so here's a check to those. 100/90/90 is pretty solid bulk, but Pleasure essentially makes it bulkier since it partially mitigates all incoming attacks. Otherwise does Giratina things; Defogging, phazing, spreading status and being fat.
Pokémon: Cursola
Ability Modified: Weak Armor
New Ability Name: Bleak Armor
New Ability Effect: When this Pokemon has more than 1/2 its maximum HP and takes damage from an attack bringing it to 1/2 or less of its maximum HP, its Defense and Special Defense stats are raised by 1 stage. This effect applies after all hits from a multi-hit move.
Typing:
Stats: 80 HP / 75 Atk / 80 Def / 145 SpA / 120 SpD / 30 Spe / 530 BST
Movepool Changes: N/A
Competitive Role: More HP management yea. Basically just Cursola but with an overall better typing and more bulk. Bleak Armor can make it hard to crack once it gets brought down to half (being Berserk but for defenses), tho you have to commit to staying in to make the most of it.
Pokémon: Sudowoodo
Ability Modified: Rock Head
New Ability Name: Block Head
New Ability Effect: After this Pokemon uses an attack with recoil, except Struggle, it receives 3/4 damage from all attacks until the end of the next turn.
Typing:
Stats: 80 HP / 110 Atk / 105 Def / 30 SpA / 85 SpD / 85 Spe / 495 BST
Movepool Changes:
+ Drain Punch, Jungle Healing, Superpower
Competitive Role: Is basically a menace to anything slower than it. Wood Hammer, in addition to being a powerful STAB, will grant a 25% damage reduction thanks to Block Head. While that's great for tanking weaker hits, that recoil damage can offset the damage reduction, so it can't be used recklessly. Sudowoodo is able to keep itself healthy with Drain Punch and Jungle Healing however, the latter allowing it to absorb status. Is otherwise a mon with well balanced stats, a strong offensive typing, useful resists and great coverage.
