Flags (ex: Contact, Sound): Protect
Potential Pokémon With This Move: Espeon, Gardevoir, Slowbro, Farigaraf, Callyrex | Umbreon, Hydreigon, Wo-Chien, Grimsnarl, Sableye
Justification: Funny lets go moves. Weakened the effect so they are not too crazy. Not that different from the other crazy hazard setting moves we’ve got now.

Potential Pokémon With This Move: Some not viable Ice types, Tinkaton, Mimikyu, Azumarill, Iron Valiant | Dark types, mean looking Pokémon
Justification: Big physical ice move. Cool effect. | Big special dark move. Less cool effect. There aren’t very many good physical ice moves or dark moves over 80 bp. These might have to have more limited distribution.

Name: Handcuffs
Effect: Boosts the power of all attacks by 1.2x. Cannot use moves the opponent knows.
Can Be Knocked Off (Yes or No): No
Ignored by Klutz (Yes or No): No
Fling Power & Effect: 60 dg, inflict torment.
Justification: Interesting take on a boosting item. While the boost isn’t large, neither is the drawback. Just don’t use with super meta Pokémon or moves. Or do if you’re risky. Also absorbs Knock.

Name: Dungeon Lord
Effect: Users dragon type moves heal it for 50% of the damage dealt.
Permanent (Yes or No): Yes
Mold Breaker (Yes or No): Yes
Potential Pokémon With This Ability: Regidrago and maybe Goodra, Appletun, Altaria, Dragalge
Justification: Regidrago was supposed to be the defensive counterpart to Regieleki, but it ended up just being worse. This gives it an interesting defensive alternative.

Name: Toxtricity-Low-Key
Type: Poison/Ice
Abilities: Punk Rock/Ice Body/Technician
New Moves: Ice Beam, Blizzard, Freeze Dry, Icicle Crash, Icicle Spear, Ice Punch, Icy Wind, Chilly Reception
Removed Moves: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Wild Charge, Discharge
Justification: The Toxtricitys need to be more different. I altered the Low Key one because it’s less viable. This allows it to stand out, and use powerful ice stab combined with overdrive to have serious coverage.
Name: Volcanion
Type: Fire/Water
Abilities: Water Absorb/Misty Surge
New Moves: Moonlight, Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough, Healing Stones
Removed Moves: Scald
Justification: We need a Misty Surge user with the Rune Drive mons. New moves for a more defensive play style. Likes weakening dragons, who resist both STABs. Hot take, removing scald is fine cause it’s got Steam Eruption, which burns like scald, but with less stall potential due to less pp.

Bidoof--at all, but that's likely for the better as much as I have an apparent hatred for Screens--I blame 
Grimmsnarl and Aurora Veil--since some people simply don't; also, like Psychic Fangs (which is annoyingly plural for some reason), Normal innately has a type immunity unlike Rock. Finally, both deal essentially 75% of their damage to Steel types after resistances given that rats are known to be able to chew through even some metals and given that some rocks can be harder than many metals (and given that Steel is still extremely privileged).

Araquanid at home...is still probably damn decent given how powerful Water Bubble is as an ability and given that Masquerain has at least both better SpA and Speed even though it's far frailer. Regardless, it has always bothered me how cute little 
Surskit goes from its unique Bug/Water typing to the banal and doomed Bug/Flying typing, especially since it took forever to actually decent Flying STAB. While Araquanid finally rectified that (...four entire gens later), Araquanid is unfortunately gone now, so this will have to do, as seen with people already using it as a suicide lead Sticky Webs setter (just because the pickings are that slim). Unfortunately due to Water Bubble, it needs to lose both Hydro Pump and Quiver Dance, otherwise it would just outright 
Beedrill doesn't get it, only general disappointment 
Vikavolt who would prefer almost any other ability.)
Rotom-Frost: The bulkiest (in Snow) but still by far crappiest Rotom gets on the Overcoat train to help with Ice's crippling defensive weaknesses even in the face of Snow boosting Defense, and most of its other additions are effectively window-dressing, with it being the start of all the non-Rotom-Fan forms getting 100% accurate but lower powered STABS in addition to at least one other move and Rapid Spin. Chilly Reception fulfills the "is your refrigerator running?" joke (that it tells) arguably better than Slush Rush would, and unlike the 
Gholdengo to sit down, shut up, and freeze in Hell if it should try to spinblock, and with Refrigerate also being usable with Hyper Voice to be a better Ice Beam that's almost as strong as Blizzard but actually, you know, accurate outside of Snow.
Rotom-Heat: Probably the Rotom form that gets screwed the most in terms of abilities, especially since it didn't get Neutralizing Gas in the end, in part due to being a microwave oven. Flame Body would have made sense, but of its many resistances, most of them lean special outside of Bug, Steel (which just got the non-contact Shrapnel Shot), and arguably Fire (which...can't be burned). Given that it's the form most likely to still use Levitate anyway due to being the only form quad-weak to Ground, I figured I should give it abilities and moves that worked 100% of the time (...in Sun). So Harvest is just an attempt at a possibly interesting non-Grass user of it (since Ripen still sucks) and Electric Surge is both a concession to "VaporeMons can probably have a better Electric Surge user than Pincurchin now" and to force Pure Power Rotom-base teams to still use 
Rotom-Mow: Easily the most straightforward change even if Grassy Pelt existing now makes Grassy Surge even more underwhelming, especially as someone who wasn't ever that impressed with Grassy Surge Rotom-Mow in JolteMons (where, admittedly, 
Rillaboom still had the oppressive Grassy Glide). As such there's nothing to note, since I already just noted the above Aromatherapy deletion, beyond that it's probably the Rotom form that benefits the most from the addition of Weather Ball.
Rotom-Wash: Easily the Rotom form that needs the least help even if too has suffered a small decline of sorts in part due to power creep despite being one of the few Water types that didn't even lose Scald...due to never having it. It will continue to never have it, in part because I feel like giving Rotom-Wash back Pain Split in addition to an anti-Water ability already makes it a griefer mon to Rain even without the chance to randomly get Rain-boosted burns on their sweepers. The 100% accuracy of Surf is honestly already a big buff to it since we've all missed vital Hydro Pumps with it at one point or another, and I can't exactly give it Chilling Water when Chilling Water still...rather sucks. Misty Surge is there mainly just to have another setter (that can actually use its item slot freely) as well to make it so that the Rotom forms cover all Terrains that existed (and were never used) before Psychic Terrain and Psychic Surge were introduced.
Decidueye-Hisui no longer Grass/Fighting too now, so....)
