Description:
This Pokemon appears to be a more powerful form of Relicanth and has only been seen in mountaintop rivers. This Pokemon's body appears to be entirely mechanical, though it appears to only be as intelligent as a normal Relicanth.
I tried making a SpD mon on literally any other type that isn't Water or Steel, but quickly realized that most types that aren't Water or Steel (or Grass and Fire kinda) suck at being SpD types, so here's Mega Empoleon. Good Special bulk lets the Antique check Water and Ice-types, which'll be helpful against Rain teams, while having all the normal stuff you want a Steel-type to do + pivoting. Also gets Calm Mind if you're a sadist and don't feel like using Suicune.
Name: Toxic Stalactite
Original Pokemon: Pinsir
Type:
Ability: Cleansing Fire
Stats: 95 / 115 / 135 / 45 / 75 / 125
Paradox: Sky
New Moves: Gunk Shot, Toxic Spikes, Rock Blast, Poison Jab, Megahorn, U-Turn, Venoshock, Poison Fang, Dual Wingbeat, Fly, Aerial Ace, Air Cutter, Air Slash, Roost, Defog
Removed Moves: Curse, Focus Blast, Feint Attack, Captivate, Helping Hand, Rain Dance
Description:
This Pokemon appears to be a more powerful form of Pinsir. It bears a striking similarity to a form of Pinsir found in another region, but this Pokemon appears to posses a more aggressive attitude and a shinier, poisonous shell.
We got 3 Mega-inspired paradoxes last slate, which I don't really want to be a pattern, but Mega Pinsir is sick and the only viable Bugs are Scizor, Kleavor, and maybe Forretress and Heracross (and Shuckle for Webs ig), so I'll do this once. I liked how Mega Pinsir uses an overdone typing like Bug/Flying and made it good, so I tried to do the same thing here with Bug/Poison (though Scolipede is already a good mon with this typing). Toxic Stalactite can serve a nice Boots pivot, with its typing and great natural physical bulk allowing it to serve as a soft check to Sneasler, while the combo of Megahorn, Gunk Shot, and your choice of CC, EQ, and Knock Off being very threatening. Walled by the likes of Skarmory and Forretress, just like the Mega Pinsir of old. Ironically similar to Mega Beedrill, just replace power with better coverage and bulk.
Name: Island Colossus
Original Pokemon: Dragonite
Type:
Ability: Corrupting Storm
Stats: 96 / 78 / 90 / 134 / 102 / 70
Paradox: Sea
New Moves: Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw, Hex, Heavy Slam, Spikes, Flip Turn, Phantom Force, Dazzling Gleam, Foresight, Snowscape
Removed Moves: Agility, Aqua Jet, Dragon Dance, Dual Wingbeat, Extreme Speed, Tailwind, Aerial Ace, Fury Cutter, Captivate
Description:
This Pokemon appears to be a more powerful form of Dragonite and has only been spotted near the Whirl Islands. This gargantuan Pokemon is thought to be the cause of many natural disasters in both Cianwood and Olivine City.
The Iron Jugulis to Dragonite's Hydreigon. A lower BST and worse ability made up for with a better typing, improvements on DNite's already great movepool with Ghost coverage, and a little more utility with the addition of Spikes and Flip Turn. Doesn't very much appreciate that we just added two Dark-types though. Side note, Dragon/Ghost is a super neat typing but also the one with the least options considering the rarity of both Ghost and especially Dragon in the dex.
Name: Blistering Bark
Original Pokemon: Mightyena
Type:
Ability: Corrupting Storm
Stats: 80 / 90 / 90 / 110 / 90 / 110
Paradox: Sea
New Moves: Ice Beam, Snowscape, Blizzard, Surf, Whirlpool, Ice Spinner, Icy Wind, Sheer Cold, Frost Breath, Haze, Grudge, Destiny Bond, Avalanche, Switcheroo
Removed Moves: Counter, Fire Fang, Heal Bell, Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Yawn, Captivate, Incinerate, Thunder Fang
Description: This Pokemon appears to be a more powerful form of Mightyena and has only been observed near Johto's coldest waters. A single growl from this Pokemon can summon a Blizzard, leaving anything in the area frozen in either ice or fear.
All of our Special Ice-types not named Ninetales-A suck and our resident Dark/Ice got banned, so here's this. This Pokemon exists to click its STAB moves and that's it. No utility, no setup, barely any coverage, nothing but great Special offense and a broken STAB combo to abuse. Very simple plug-and-play option. Walled forever by bulky Waters, Blissey, and, to a lesser extent, bulky Fairies and Scizor, but maybe you can cheese them with Destiny Bond.
