New Pokémon Name: Cramorant
Stat Changes: 90 / 120 / 110 / 100 / 110 / 70
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Oblivious / Analytic / Merciless (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Venoshock, Poison Jab, Baneful Bunker, Beak Blast, Sludge Bomb, Toxic, Gunk Shot | - Hydro Pump, Liquidation, Scald
What Separates it from Other Forms: Baneful Bunker allows for a free poison for Merciless to take effect. This pokemon is quite speedy, and has a pretty good defensive typing, and using Beak Blast it can avoid the recoil from Brave Bird and use the more interesting combination of Beak Blast and Analytic, since it will always move last when using that move.
New Pokémon Name: Cramorant-Gulping
Stat Changes: 80 / 110 / 55 / 110 / 95 / 105
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Swift Swim / Unburden (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Sky Attack, Work Up, Fling, Parting Shot, Acrobatics
What Separates it from Other Forms: This is an ability I think we've been trying to add, and Cramorant is perfect flavor wise. Competitively, just add on Acro and its good to go, it can set up with Work Up too if it is using other methods to give itself more speed, such as Terrain Seeds. But with berries, its special attack is good enough for it to utilize Belch if it wants too, though less reasonable for this mon.
It can also provide an extra slot on Rain to abuse Hurricane, and Weather Ball, but unlike Kyogre + Tornadus, Cramorant is also rocks weak, lacks setup, and does not have the same coverage Kyogre does on rain, but hits slightly harder, and its Hurricane is actually STAB.
New Pokémon Name: Cramorant-Gorging
Stat Changes: 100 / 110 / 105 / 90 / 85 / 90
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Static / Preening / Lightning Rod (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Calm Mind, Dragon Dance, Toxic, Volt Switch, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle | -Scald, Hydro Pump, Water Gun
What Separates it from Other Forms: Preening is probably the ability you want to run here depending on its role. It acts as a free leftovers for when you activate roost which pairs really well with Calm Mind. Alternatively, if you decide to run DD instead, it can sustain its longevity with Roost + Preening, and can brush off the recoil from Volt Tackle and Brave Bird. But CM is cooler due to the fact that it has BoltBeam coverage, which allows it to damage a variety of pokemon in the metagame, and isn't completely walled by something like Rotom-Fan.
After using a flying type move, this pokemon gains the Preening volatile, which restores 1/8 of its HP at the end of each turn.
New Pokémon Name: Eiscue
Stat Changes: 50 / 50 / 165 / 100 / 165 / 20
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Sublimation
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Amnesia, Roost, Toxic, Court Change, Burning Jealousy
What Separates it from Other Forms: Introducing our bulky Ice type. This thing's bulk is actually crazy, and with Roost at its disposal, it will be very tough to take down. Even uninvested attacks from this thing aren't worth taking, and Burning Jealousy is a nasty way to stop a setup sweeper right in its tracks.
When this pokemon is hit by or uses a fire type move, it triggers the Haze effect. Immunity to fire.
New Pokémon Name: Eiscue-Noice
Stat Changes: 75 / 110 / 80 / 65 / 80 / 130
Typing Changes:
Ability Changes: Water Veil / Fish Lure (HA)
Movepool Changes (If Any): +Swords Dance, Memento, Taunt, Toxic, Spikes, Triple Axel, Ice Shard, Aqua Jet | -Freeze Dry
What Separates it from Other Forms: Water trapping would be seemingly strong on a pokemon with super-effective coverage against them, except in this case its not. Eiscue not only has nothing for water types, but it also has Soak to change the type of any pokemon it chooses to, allowing it to set up on basically anything, but having a troublesome time revenge killing them back. It can run a supportive set, locking opponents into a Memento after setting up hazards, always forcing but punishing a switch. Even when its not intentionally soaking its target, it is still capable of trapping Kyogre, Ninetales, Slowbro and Slowking. All of which absorb its attacks pretty well, but Kyogre, Slowbro and Ninetales are still neutral, to its STAB combination while Slowking has much lower defense, but can make quick work of eiscue with basically any electric move.
