Ability: Drought
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Tail Glow
- Giga Drain/Solar Beam
- Earth Power/Dazzling Gleam
Fire Blast is chosen as the Fire STAB due to its higher BP Z-Move than Flamethrower, letting it to break past faster those nasty special walls like Chansey after a Tail Glow (+3 252 SpA Xurkitree Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 531-625 (75.5 - 88.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock). Tail Glow is chosen as its set up move. Giga Drain should be used for keep Xurkitree healthy during the sweep, while Solar Beam is used for inmediate firepower. Earth Power is used for breaking past Fire pokemon which resist both Fire and Grass moves, while Dazzling Gleam should be used for breaking past bulky Dragon mons. Max Spe, Max SpA and Timid nature are chosen for not being outsped by other mons of the 100s speed tier. Drought is its main ability and Heat Seed is mandatory for having the sunflower form and for making it even easier to break past specially defensive walls:
+3 252 SpA Xurkitree Inferno Overdrive (185 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 891-1048 (126.7 - 149%) -- guaranteed OHKO.


Tsareena @ Sticky Petals
Ability: Allure Fragance
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Play Rough
- Gunk Shot
- High Jump Kick
- U-Turn/Rapid Spin/Knock Off/Brambles/Stone Edge/Zen Headbutt
Play Rough and Gunk Shot are chosen as its main STABs (one can hit common types such as Dragon and Dark, while Gunk Shot is used due to its high 120 BP and hits super effectibly those common fairies). High Jump Kick is its best option for hitting Steel-Types, wich would otherwhise wall it. There're lots of options for the fourth slot: U-Turn is for gaining momentum against another Poison mons which wall it, rapid spin is used for clearing the hazards of your team, knock off is used for hitting ghost types with Fairy resistance like Gengar and for removin the foes' useful items like Leftovers or Assault Vest,Brambles are used in case your team lacks a SR user or just for taking advantage of the switch outs this pokemon can force, Stone Edge could be used for abusing its ability to trap Bug mons and Zen Headbutt, which should be used for hitting Poison mons. 252 EVs on Attack are used for dealing the max damage possible, while those 252 EVs are necessary for not being outsped by mons of the 110s speed tier like Latios or Gengar. Allure Fragance is used for trap and kill Fairy and Bug mons of the opponent and helping the Dark and Dragon mons of your own team. Sticky Petals mandatory for having the Sundew flower form. It also helps it to break past through fat mons which aren't resistant or inmune to poison.


Drifblim @ Rice Paper Lantern
Ability: Air Approach
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower/Overheat
- Hidden Power Fighting/Substitute
- Roost/Calm Mind
Air Slash and Flamethrower are Drifblim's main STABs: Air Slash has boosted BP due to Air Approach, leaving Drifblim with a high 112 BP Flying STAB move and Flamethrower lets it to break throught those common steel mons like Ferrothorn and Celesteela and benefits from Rice Paper Lantern, which lets it to use Inferno Overdrive. Overheat could be used for having a more powerful STAB and Z move, but Drifblim hates the Special Attack drop. Hp Fighting is used for breaking past bulky Rock-types like Ttar which would otherwise wall it, while substitute should be used for luring defensive and offensive threaths like the aformentioned Rock mons and things like Chansey or Celesteela and Will-O-Wisp can be an option for punishing switch ins to Physically offensive oriented mons. Roost is used for keeping Drifblim healthy due to its horrible weakness to Stealth Rock (PD: You MUST have a defogger if you use this guy), while Calm Mind boosts your already high Special attack and it could be used in tamdem with Substitute for using a SubMind set or something like that. 252 SpA/252 Spe investiment is used for being as fast and strong as possible while Timid Nature is chosen for not being outsped by mons of the 100s Speed tier. Rice Paper Lantern is Drifblim's only possible item and provides it access to Inferno Overdrive. Air Approach is chosen in this case for boosting Air Slash, which would be a very mediocre and weak STAB in case of using any other ability.


Magcargo @ Scuba Gear
Ability: Regenerator/Swift Swim
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shell Smash
- Scald/Surf
- Fire Blast/Flamethrower
- Earth Power/Substitute/Hidden Power Grass
Shell Smash is Magcargo's main set up move and it lets it to boost its average offensive stats and already great speed to stupid levels (but don't forget that it has wet paper thin defenses after a shell smash). Scald and Fire Blast are Magcargo's main STABs: Scald let's it to hit the conmon Ground, Rock and Fire-type mons of the tier with an added 30% chance of inflict annoying burns to the opposing physical mons, while Fire Blast is Magcargo's strongest STAB and lets it to KO common Steel and Grass mons of the tier, but it has shaky accuracy so flamthrower can be a good alternative to it. Earth Power is mandatory for not being hard walled by Toxapex but Substitute can be used for making easier for Magcargo to set up and Hidden Power Grass should be used for hitting super effectibly another Water mons like Suicune or Swampert-Mega. Scuba Gear is the only move that Magcargo can use and it lets it to use Hydro Vortex, a much more powerful water STAB option than Scald. 252 EVs on speed with Timid nature lets it to outspeed common fast mons as Tapu Koko and Greninja-Ash (only if it's not locked into water shuriken) while 252 Evs investiment in SpA lets you to have a decent Special Attack. As an ability you can choose between Regenerator, wich rises your longevity and lets you more opportunities to set up with Shell Smash;and Swift Swim, which makes you a scary rain seeper and revenge killer.

I don't have any ideas for more sets, sooo, thoughts? =^]

Deep Sea Magcargo is unusual in that usually, Swift Swim is considered great when its available, but here, it nerfs a STAB, so Regenerator is probably better, despite the lower defenses.

Chain Comfey's new typing gets rid of the poison weakness, which is great. Triage is still probably the best ability, but trapping is useful.

Sunflower Xurkitree is a sun setter that isn't weak to water or ground, which is nice.

Pest Eradicator Aromitisse has a great typing, which is great for a Regenerator. Its other ability is great for stall breaking with Toxic.

Sky Lantern Driflblim probably wants to run Flash Fire as it's the safest choice

Dust Bunny Whimsicott will has some nice stall potential.

Snake Chamer Uxie is the friend of Fairies as it destroys poison.

Germinate means Sundew Tsareena almost has triple STAB, though it can trap as well. Nasty.

What are you going to USE Triage with on Chain Comfey? It's a physical attacker, and it gets no physical draining moves. The entire thing was made so I had something to put Quick Chain on, to replace Dugtrio now that Arena Trap is banned.

Ah. Right. Movepool issues. Still Synthesis is still nice, especially with such a good typing.

Well now that its been more than two days, back into submissions everybody!

I will submit, but it might take some time.

EDIT: I also buffed Oni Wigglytuff and Water Beetle Lapras's Brute Force so that it boost former Special Moves, so that it become more inline with Kaiju Tyranitar's Alpha Power who does the same thing, but also boost those former Special Moves.

Does that means that those mons are getting huge =v? Okno, but submissions coming soon :^]
 

Beehive Stakataka
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Queen Cell
Ability: Honey Factory
Custom Ability: Honey Factory->
Heals 16% of its total Hp at the end of every turn. The opponent's ability becomes Honey Gather when it hits the wielder with a contact move.
HP: 97 (+36)
Atk: 151 (+20)
Def: 151 (-60)
SpA: 37 (-16)
SpD: 151 (+50)
Spe: 3 (-10)
BST: 590 BST (+20)
New Moves:
Attack Order, Heal Order, Defend Order, U-turn & Curse.
Design: The bricks which forms Stakataka now have the same patterns as a beehive, its eyes are red and green and it has little bug-like legs.
Competitive: My beloved Stakatakatakatakataka finally becomes the stupidly slow offensive tank it always wanted to be thanks to its new typing (only 1 weakness, yay), ability (unnockable leftovers+Mummy is such a great thing for walling things), stats (less defense sucks a bit, but that means more SpD and Hp) and movepool aditions (now it has recovery options and access to the slowest U-turn ever). It also can still be a good bulky sweeper thanks to its even slower speed, higher attack and acccess to Curse, but Bug/Steel is not as good offensibly as Rock/Steel and it really misses Beast Boost.


Cyborg Regigigas
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: War Chest
Abilities:
Download
HP: 110 (+0)
Atk: 160 (+0)
Def: 110 (+0)
SpA: 80 (+0)
SpD: 110 (+0)
Spe: 120 (+20)
BST: 690 (+20)
New Moves:
Meteor Smash, Close Combat, Shift Gear, Mach Punch & Bullet Punch.
Design: One half of Regigigas body is made by bionical parts and the other half has a greek armor and drawings.
Competitive: Meant for Ubers. Great wallbreaker thanks to its great offensive ability and typing, but what makes this thing great is its access to Shift Gear, which doubles its already high Speed and Attack, making it really hard to switch-into.The only bad thing is that its has to deal with Pdon, basically the overlord of Ubers and it faces competition with Lucario-Mega, which can go mixed and has access to Adaptability.



Loris Slakoth
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Loris Covet
Abilities:
Unaware
HP: 70 (+10)
Atk: 70 (+10)
Def: 60 (+0)
SpA: 35 (+0)
SpD: 35 (+0)
Spe: 30 (+0)
BST: 300 BST (+20)
New Moves:
Seed Bomb, U-turn, Knock Off, Leech Seed & Poison Jab.
Design: Looks like a loris
Competitive: Can be a decent option for a tank at Lc thanks to its access to recovery options on Slack Off and Leech Seed and its great ability Unaware, but its typing isn't very good defensibly and it can't wear Eviolite.

Sasquatch Vigoroth
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Sasquatch Covet
Abilities:
Macho
HP: 80 (+0)
Atk: 100 (+20)
Def: 80 (+0)
SpA: 40 (-15)
SpD: 60 (+5)
Spe: 100 (+10)
BST: 460 (+20)
New Moves:
Swords Dance, U-turn, Knock Off, Wood Hammer & Close Combat.
Design: The white parts become dark brown and the dark-grey parts become completly black.
Competitive: While it has pretty average attack and speed, it has a great offensive typing on Fighting/Grass (at least at PU/NU), access to strong STABs and Swords Dance and a decent ability on Macho, which lets it to hit and take hits better.

Slaking Kong
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Skull Island Crown
Abilities:
Alpha Power
HP: 160 (+10)
Atk: 170 (+10)
Def: 100 (+0)
SpA: 60 (-35)
SpD: 100 (+35)
Spe: 100 (+0)
BST: 690 (+20)
New Moves:
Earth Power, Aura Sphere, U-turn, Swords Dance & Knock Off.
Design:

Competitive:
Meant for Ubers. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH boi, this guy can easily KO almost every mon of the Ubers enviroment thanks to its stupidly huge Attack and movepool, all supported by its great ability Alpha Power, making it a really difficult to switch-into mon. It also posseses a huge 160/100/100 bulk and access to Slack Off, providing it good defensive presence, but Fighting/Ground is such a horrendous defensive typing sadly.


Dream Catcher Klefki
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Mystical Ornaments
Abilities:
Prankster/Nightmare Trap
Custom Ability: Nightmare Trap-> All Dark and Ghost-type attacks target this Pokemon. Grants immunity to Dark and Ghost-type moves and heals 25% HP when hit by a Dark or Ghost-type attack.

Def: 95 (+4)
SpA: 90 (+10)
SpD: 95 (+8)
Spe: 90 (+15)
BST: 490 (+20)
New Moves:
Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp, Dream Eater, Volt Switch & Roost.
Design: Its "hoop" is now made of wood, has a web inside it and it has feathers instead keys.
Competitive: While you could use it as an annoying Prankster with W-O-W and Roost, it would suffer from being x4 weak to both Ghost an Dark moves, which sucks, so you would really like to use it with Nightmare Trap, wich makes it inmune to those moves, making it a great tank option for a Ghost or Psychic monotype team with access to recovery on the aformentioned Roost and a pivoting move on Volt Switch.



Christmas Gnome Seedot
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Gnome Hat
Abilities:
Friend Guard/Technician/Slush Rush
HP: 50 (+10)
Atk: 50 (+10)

Competitive: Evolve.

Spe: 80 (+20)
BST: 360 (+20)
New Moves:
Play Rough, Artic Blade, Ice Shard & Close Combat.
Design: Brown parts become light blue and it wears a christmas hat with gnome ears.
Competitive: It could be a decent Ice/Fairy fast sweeper at PU i guess? Nah, just evolve it.

Krampus Shrifty
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Punishment Scythe
Abilities:
Steelworker/Technician/Slush Rush
HP: 90 (+0)
Atk: 130 (+30)
Def: 60 (+0)
SpA: 60 (-30)
SpD: 60 (+0)
Spe: 100 (+20)
BST: 500 (+20)
New Moves:
Artic Blade, Ice Shard, Pursuit, Blade Slash & Close Combat
Design:

Competitive:
At first it would like as a weavile clone, but it has higher attack, useful abilities and a somewhat better movepool. Anyways, what can this guy do (w/e compiring it with weav): It can abuse Steelworker+Blade Slash for punishing fat Fairy mons on swittch-in, abusing 60 Bp Ice Shards and Pursuits (mental games boiz) with Technician or being a great SD sweeper under hail (are there any good Hail setters at TNFG?I'm too lazy to search them :P).

Def - 115
SpA - 100

Spe – 40 (Swapped with SpD)
BST - 455
New Moves – Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch
Design – Tangela look more like a snow ball than
Competitive
– With amazing bulk, it can be a pain to kill. But with a bad defensive typing, that pain will be better to handle.

Snow Man Tangrowth

Item – Snow Man Suit
Abilities – Refrigerate, Snow Cloak, Weak Armor
HP – 50 (Swapped With Speed)
Atk – 130(+5) (Swapped With Defense)

Competitive
– Tangrowth becomes an offensive threat with decent coverage. With base 130/125/120 offensive stats, it will be a force to be wrecking with. It bulk is pretty luck lusting especially compared to its pre evolution. This pokemon can work well on more offensive teams do to its good offense.

Beehive Stakataka
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Queen Cell
Ability:
Speed Leak
HP: 97 (+36)
Atk: 151 (+20)
Def: 151 (-60)
SpA: 37 (-16)
SpD: 151 (+50)
Spe: 3 (-10)
BST: 590 BST (+20)
New Moves:
Attack Order, Heal Order, Defend Order, U-turn & Curse.
Design: The bricks which forms Stakataka now have the same patterns as a beehive, its eyes are red and green and it has little bug-like legs.
Competitive: Did you hate Mega-Scizor?Well, i'm sure you'll try to kill yourself every time you face this guy because well, unless you're using a fire wallbreaker or something like that you will have a really hard time trying to break past a wall with 97/151/151 bulk and access to reliable recovery. Oh, and don't forget that it has access to the strongest Gyro Ball ever with 151 Atk, 3 Speed and access to Speed Leak.
I think having huge Attack, great bulk and great speed all at once would be too much. Mega Scizor is not all that fast which makes more manageable, especially with Fire-type. Stakataka have Earthquake and becomes far faster in Trick Room, making it an overkill to OU, especially considering Curse, Defend Order and Heal Order. There is a reason why Mega Salamance and Mega Metagross got the ban hammer back in the official tiers; they are strong, fast, resilience at once, and can defend themselves from supposed counters thanks to sufficient coverage. Unless you intend it to be Uber, I doubt it could be accepted.

And just before you object, yes, even Kaiju Tyranitar and Sunflower Xurkitree have their weaknesses; Kaiju Tyranitar is slow and needs to use Dragon Dance in order to sweep, while Sunflower Xurkitree isn't exactly resilient and can get hindered by Paralysis (since it is not Electric-type anymore) and can get outspeed by Choice Scarf revenge killers (and Hawlucha), or walled by Chansey.

Of course, if they do ended up getting the banhammer and only available to the Uber format of Costume Combat, do not worry. At least Kaiju Tyranitar can be a better Palkia than the actual Palkia. Speaking of that poor thing...


Neptune Palkia
Typing - Water/Dark
Z-Move Type - Water
Item – Neptune's Trident
Abilities – Planet Enforcer* | Sheer Force
(Planet Enforcer: The user is not affected by Trick Room, Wonder Room, Magic Room and Entry Hazards. The user goes first in Trick Room regardless of Speed.)

HP - 90
Atk - 90 (-30)
Def - 100
SpA - 160 (+10)
SpD – 120
Spe – 140 (+40)
BST - 700
New Moves – Calm Mind, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Backstroke, Sludge Wave
Design - Wield a long trident, with a pearl in the center of the fork. Palkia also wears a black toga, with blue wavy lines.
Competitive – Fixes Palkia's lack of stat boosting prowess and get better Abilities to make Dark Pulse, Scald, Earth Power, Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Thunderbolt/Thunder, Ice Beam/Blizzard and Focus Blast harder. Its high speed of 140 allows it to revenge kill foes that do not wears a Choice Scarf or have a speed boost, so it can take on Mewtwo (not the Mega Mewtwo X), Yveltal, certain Arceus forms, and even Ultra Necrozma and Primal Groudon themselves. That is to say, Mega Lucario, Blissey, Specially Defensive Dialga, Mega Mewtwo X, Zekrom and Pheromosa can make a quick work on it.


Gamma Guzzlord
Typing - Fighting/Dark
Z-Move Type - Fighting
Item – Gamma Orb
Abilities – Fairy Eater*

SpD – 79 (+26)

New Moves – Hone Claws, Volt Tackle, Ice Hammer, Flare Blitz, Waterfall
Design - Wears blue jeans (very very large one), the black skin becomes green and the upper head sprouted black brows.
Competitive – While lack of Swords Dance can hurt, its versatile Physical movepool, access to Drain Punch and use of Hone Claws gives allows Gamma Guzzlord to smash through puny adversaries, with Iron Tail and Dragon Rush having better Accuracy, making it a punishing wallbreaker. Fairy Eater is also a bliss, as it get rids of its biggest weakness and boost Attack when attempted to attack with Fairy-type which does helps. However, priority moves, physical stall able to withstand Fighting and Dark, and faster threats can put a dent into it.

I think having huge Attack, great bulk and great speed all at once would be too much. Mega Scizor is not all that fast which makes more manageable, especially with Fire-type. Stakataka have Earthquake and becomes far faster in Trick Room, making it an overkill to OU, especially considering Curse, Defend Order and Heal Order. There is a reason why Mega Salamance and Mega Metagross got the ban hammer back in the official tiers; they are strong, fast, resilience at once, and can defend themselves from supposed counters thanks to sufficient coverage. Unless you intend it to be Uber, I doubt it could be accepted.

And just before you object, yes, even Kaiju Tyranitar and Sunflower Xurkitree have their weaknesses; Kaiju Tyranitar is slow and needs to use Dragon Dance in order to sweep, while Sunflower Xurkitree isn't exactly resilient and can get hindered by Paralysis (since it is not Electric-type anymore) and can get outspeed by Choice Scarf revenge killers (and Hawlucha), or walled by Chansey.

Of course, if they do ended up getting the banhammer and only available to the Uber format of Costume Combat, do not worry. At least Kaiju Tyranitar can be a better Palkia than the actual Palkia. Speaking of that poor thing...


Neptune Palkia
Typing - Water/Dark
Z-Move Type - Water
Item – Neptune's Trident
Abilities – Planet Enforcer* | Sheer Force
(Planet Enforcer: The user is not affected by Trick Room, Wonder Room, Magic Room and Entry Hazards.)

HP - 90
Atk - 90 (-30)
Def - 100
SpA - 160 (+10)
SpD – 120
Spe – 140 (+40)
BST - 700
New Moves – Calm Mind, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Backstroke, Sludge Wave
Design - Wield a long trident, with a pearl in the center of the fork. Palkia also wears a black toga, with blue wavy lines.
Competitive – Fixes Palkia's lack of stat boosting prowess and get better Abilities to make Dark Pulse, Scald, Earth Power, Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Thunderbolt/Thunder, Ice Beam/Blizzard and Focus Blast harder. Its high speed of 140 allows it to revenge kill foes that do not wears a Choice Scarf or have a speed boost, so it can take on Mewtwo (not the Mega Mewtwo X), Yveltal, certain Arceus forms, and even Ultra Necrozma and Primal Groudon themselves. That is to say, Mega Lucario, Blissey, Specially Defensive Dialga, Mega Mewtwo X, Zekrom and Pheromosa can make a quick work on it.

Z-Move Type - Fighting
Item – Gamma Orb

Thanks for the constructive critique, i will think about what ability could i give to Stakatakataka to make it balanced. Tinted Lens maybe?
PD: Xurkitree isn't walled by Chansey as i showed at the calcs, but not having any way to boost its speed makes it easy to revenge kill.
PD2: Here's the "balanced" one:

Beehive Stakataka
Typing:

Z-Move Type:

Item: Queen Cell
Ability: Honey Factory
Custom Ability: Honey Factory->
Heals 16% of its total Hp at the end of every turn. The opponent's ability becomes Honey Gather when it hits the wielder with a contact move.
HP: 97 (+36)
Atk: 151 (+20)
Def: 151 (-60)
SpA: 37 (-16)
SpD: 151 (+50)
Spe: 3 (-10)
BST: 590 BST (+20)
New Moves:
Attack Order, Heal Order, Defend Order, U-turn & Curse.
Design: The bricks which forms Stakataka now have the same patterns as a beehive, its eyes are red and green and it has little bug-like legs.
Competitive: My beloved Stakatakatakatakataka finally becomes the stupidly slow offensive tank it always wanted to be thanks to its new typing (only 1 weakness, yay), ability (unnockable leftovers+Mummy is such a great thing for walling things), stats (less defense sucks a bit, but that means more SpD and Hp) and movepool aditions (now it has recovery options and access to the slowest U-turn ever). It also can still be a good bulky sweeper thanks to its even slower speed, higher attack and acccess to Curse, but Bug/Steel is not as good offensibly as Rock/Steel and it really misses Beast Boost.

I will say, much better. While it do have access to Trick Room, it still have to set it up manually and take a move slot, and this means either Curse or Earthquake if you have to get both STABs. This also means that it becomes more vulnerable to a fast set up sweeper with a Fire-type Attack. Overall, much easier to deal with compared to the original one.

New Moves - Same as Woobat
Design - Its fur is now brown. On the right side of its face, there is a pink lightning. It have red glasses and a guitar on its back.
Competitive - Stored Power user. Easy strategy : Use QD with Simple to double it or Sturdy to be sure to boost one time. Then, spam SP. Keep BoomB and Revelation Dance for coverage. Even though this might seem broken, remember he have a pretty bad defensive typing and no priority moves. It's still hardcore.
