Silvally is a pretty strong candidate for the most disappointing Pokemon of all time. Never in the history of Pokemon has one been hyped up to such an extent with trailers, the anime, and in-game lore describing its breath-taking power that needed to be restrained and its connections to the God of the Pokemon universe, only to end up being a piece of garbage that fell down to PU (being barely usable there) with all of its 18 forms being outclassed by its supposedly weakened, restrained pre-evolution Type: Null. Not in CFM! Not only has it received a crapton of new moves, including Multi-Attack transforming into one of 18 excellent moves depending on its held Memory (Extreme Speed for Normal, Sucker Punch for Dark, Spore for Grass, etc.), but it also has revamped stats and a souped-up
RKS System (User receives stat boosts depending on held memory) that gives every form an appropriate power boost to compensate for the lack of an item. Silvally is now one of OU's most unpredictable and versatile threats, with almost every form being able to accomplish a specific role, and do it extremely well. whether it be Fighting 6-0ing teams lacking good Physical walls, to Steel laughing off physical damage while disposing of hazards and keeping itself healthy with Recover, to Water functioning as an arguably better Vincune replacement that works particularly well on Trick Room teams.

Kyurem wasn't really a bad Pokemon per se, but there were some things about it that were questionable, like the lack of a good physical Ice STAB, and a surprisingly shallow movepool with plenty of options, but few useful ones. Also, all three of its signature moves are bloody useless. In CFM, not only is
Glaciate (95 BP, 100% accurate, 15% chance to freeze, Physical or Special depending on higher Attack stat, hits both targets in doubles) actually a really good move, but Kyurem also gains the potential to set-up sweep, as well as some juicy new coverage in Freeze-Dry, Earthquake and Superpower. While its power has been toned down slightly, its bulk and speed have been improved, granting it more set-up opportunities and immediate presence on the field.

Tinted Lens
New moves: Draco Meteor, Dragon Dance, Quiver Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Earthquake, Heat Wave, Iron Tail, Outrage
If Exeggutor-Alola can be a Dragon because it's the
dragonfruit Pokemon, we figured that we might as well make the
dragonfly Pokemon an actual Dragon as well. Besides the obvious elephant in the room that is Tinted Lens Draco Meteor, Yanmega can also run sweeper sets with Quiver Dance: it's just as scary as it sounds. And while not as effective, physical sets with Dragon Dance be run with either Tinted Lens or Compound Eyes for that nearly 100% accurate Dragon Rush action. Yanmega may seem like the perfect sweeper, maybe a tad too perfect, but there is a silver lining to all of this: Quiver Dance and Tinted Lens have been rendered incompatible with one another for the sake of balance: After all, +1 Tinted Lens Z-Draco is reaching Naganadel levels of absurd. With that said, Yanmega is not at all a slouch, with Choice Specs, Dragon Dance and even non-Tinted Lens QD all posing threats in different ways.

Abilities: Hydration,
Water Bubble
New Moves: Calm Mind, Energy Ball
Aah Phione. The legendary who probably shouldn't exist. In vanilla, it's worse than Manaphy in every single way. Worse stats, worse movepool, and while they have the same ability, Hydration is garbage. However, here in CFM, Phione....still is worse than Manaphy. Worse stats- oh wait! That's right! Phione has Water Bubble, the ability once signature to the Dewpider line. That alone makes it a very potent UU threat, especially after a Calm Mind or two. You heard me right, Calm Mind. Phione gained Energy Ball from Manaphy as well. Also, due to intrinsic levitation, Phione is immune to Ground-type moves, protecting it from Earthquakes from Swamperts! What's more, Phione has equal attacking stats and 110 speed, which combined with Liquidation, lets it be a very fast user of Water Bubble, on the physical OR special side! It also has U-Turn, which is always nice for pivoting. Overall, Phione, while in vanilla is the worst legendary of them all, is a massive UU threat and a must-have for any offensive team.
