@hydrolphin- think about the ban on OU for a second. can you name a single poke in OU that wouldn't over-centralize if given a stat boost and an improved movepool? we want a competitive metagame, not a skewed one.
Donphan-Current Base Stats: 90/120/120/60/60/50
Typing Ground/Ability: Sturdy
Current Movepool of Intrest:
EQ
Rapid Spin
Ice Shard
Stone Edge
Stealth Rock
Knock Off
Roar
All 3 Elemental Fangs
Body Slam
Donphan is one of the four OU rapid spinners, and also the one with the most attack. This is good, except its problem is it is hit by TS. Since it is supposed have a bulky sweeper kind of role after RSing, it fails if they set up TS.

POSIBLE Donphan Evo-New Base Stats: 110/125/125/62/80/40
Typing:Ground/Dark/Ability:Sturdy
New Movepool of Intrest:
EQ
Rapid Spin
Ice Shard
Stone Edge
Stealth Rock
Knock Off
Roar
All 3 Elemental Fangs
Body Slam
Crunch
Sucker Punch
Pursuit
Shadow Sneak
This pokemon is now a viable Rapid Spinner. The Stat upgrades are small, making sort of a blend between Mamo and Pert. It is slow, obviouslt physical, and can take hits better from the special side. The STAB Crunch, Sucker Punch, and Pursuit keep Ghosts away, while Shadow Sneak can be used for Rev. Dark also keeps it from getting to broken, with the new weaknesses to Fighting and Bug, both more common on the CAP server. While the TS problem isn't solved, this pokemon is much more of a threat than before. It could run a Defensive Set (EQ/Dark Move/RS/other support) an Offensive Set (EQ/Dark Move/Stone Edge/Ice Shard) or a hybrid.
Tentacruel-Current Base Stats:80/70/65/80/120/100
Typing:Water/Poison/Ability:Liquid Ooze/Clear Body
Current Movepool of Intrest:
Surf
Toxic Spikes
Rapin Spin
Knock Off
Ice Beam
Swords Dance
Giga Drain
Haze
Mirror Coat
Tentacruel's typing keep it from walling, so it must look to its support movepool. It has a similar movepool to Donphan: RS, form of Spikes, Knock Off, STABs... but it is easilt killed by the ever so common EQ and (in CAP) Zen Headbutt.
A
POSSIBLE Tnetacruel Evo-New Base Stats:100/75/90/85/140/90
Typing:Water/Poison/Ability:Liquid Ooze/Clear Body
New Movepool of Intrest:
Surf
Toxic Spikes
Rapin Spin
Knock Off
Ice Beam
Swords Dance
Giga Drain
Haze
Mirror Coat
Recover
Charge Beam
Fake Out
Switcheroo
Now, while still having the weakness, Tentacruel can take hits from the physcal side, while having great SpD. But the big upgrade is recover. This gives it survivability, allowing it to Toxistall. Charge Beam gives it an option over Giga Drain to hit grasses, and boost its stats. Fake Out, while not being a great option, could be useful on leads trying to set up their TS. Switcheroo makes sure it isn't walled by those Trickers as he can now switch out and trick it back on to someone else.
If anyone thinks ether of these two are broken, they probably cant stand Swampert or Blissey.
EDIT: Also DK, its 2009 not 2008
