Itemized {Slate 10 Voting!! - Milotic, Snorlax, Skarmory Lines}

[InfernoDragon]

Alright, voting is now closed! Congratulations to Mygavolt's Burning Torch for the Charizard Line, Brodaha's Potted Plant for the Venusaur Line, and Gravity Monkey's Counter-Cannon for the Blastoise Line! Here they are:

Burning Torch - Boosts Fire-type attacks in direct proportion to the holder's remaining HP. Multiplier ranges from 1.5 (max HP) to 1 (1 HP).

Potted Plant: If held by a Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, or Venusaur, multiply SpA by 1.33x in sun and grassy terrain. Stackable.

Counter-Cannon — Upon receiving direct damage, the damage this pokemon should have taken is inflicted on the move's user, breaking this item.

Now, for our next slate:

Sand Stream
These lines' final evolutions are famous for setting up Sandstorm. Here they are:
Tyranitar Line

Hippowdon Line

Gigalith Line

Things to remember:​

• The items would most likely be used on the final evolution (it is most viable in an OU-based environment), so if the item has synergy with an ability, it should be the ability/abilities of the final evolution
• Take into consideration the tier and current sets of each Pokemon. Gigalith is in NU, Hippowdon is in UU, and Tyranitar is in OU. The items are meant for OU, so mons in lower tiers should get stronger items to ensure they have a niche. This means that Gigalith's items should be stronger than Tyranitar. However, remember that Tyranitar would be forgoing its mega to run this item so it has to be worth it

Submissions will close Thursday, June 28th. Have Fun!!​

And for the new slate for the other band of subpar weather setters

Snow Warning
These are the Pokemon whose entire evolutionary lines auto-set Hail (sorry, Vanilluxe!). These include...

Ninetales-Alola Line

Abomasnow Line

Aurorus Line

Remember to take these Pokemons' tiering in mind. While Ninetales is BL, Abomasnow and Aurorus are all the way down in PU. Also, remember that Abomasnow has to forego its Mega to hold its item, so make the sacrifice worthwhile!​

 

[Brodaha]

Snow Boots: If an Alolan Vulpix or Alolan Ninetales holds this item, it's Speed is 1.5x in hail and hail lasts 1 extra turn.

Snow Shovel: If a Snover or Abomasnow holds this item, remove all hazards when switching in before taking damage.

Beautiful Prism: If held by an Amaura or Aurorus, summon Aurora Veil directly after summoning hail. If hail is not summoned, neither is Aurora Veil.

 

[Origin0]

Lanakila Scarf: When this item is held by Vulpix-Alola or Ninetales-Alola, the holder's Def, SpA, and SpD are raised by 33%. In hail, these boosts are increased to 66%.

Snow Flower Wreath: When this item is held by Snover or Abomasnow, the holder takes half damage from Fire-type, Flying-type, and Bug-type attacks. In hail, the holder's HP is restored by 1/8th of its max each turn.

Rainbow Crystal: When this item is held by Amaura or Aurorus, the holder's Ice-type attacks summon a rainbow on the holder's side for four turns. In hail, the holder's Ice-type attacks also summon Aurora Veil on the holder's side for five turns.

 

[earl]

Aurora Crystals: When this item is held by Vulpix-Alola or Ninetales-Alola, the duration of Aurora Veil is increased to 8 turns. The user will survive any hit from full HP with 1 HP left over. This item breaks upon that effect triggering, and then summons Aurora Veil (extended) if Hail is active.

Frozen Bough: When this item is held by Snover or Abomasnow, the holder's Ice- and Grass-type attacks have +1 Priority.

Swap Sail: When this item is held by Amaura or Aurorus, the holder's weaknesses and resistances are inverted. Cannot be removed of the holder is Amaura or Aurorus.

 

[Gravity Monkey]

Infinite Winter Scarf: Hail summoned by this pokemon is permanent (unless another weather is summoned or ability such as Cloud Nine are used).

Tundra Seeds: Under hail, this item summons grassy terrain and sets leech seeds up on the opponent's side, consuming this item.

Aurora Coat: This pokemon's damaging ice-typed moves gain a 10% chance to freeze the target. This pokemon's other damaging moves gain a 30% chance of burning the target.

 

[Sereg]

Vulpix line:

Mystic Brush: When the holder is Vulpix or Ninetails and is hit by a contact move, there is a 30% chance the attacker is affected by Curse. In addition, the holder is immune to Fighting and Normal attacks.

Snover line:

Evergreen Tinsel: When the holder is Snover or Abomasnow, Fire, Ice and Water attacks heal the holder instead of damaging them and they heal 1/8 of their hp every turn under any form of weather.

Amura line:

Aurora Crest: When the holder is Amura or Aurorus, and they are hit by a contact move under Aurora Veil, the damage is halved again, and there is a 30% chance the attacker becomes confused.

Alright, Voting is closed! Thanks to everyone who voted! Our winners are leonard (from big bang theory) with thier Nineales-Alola line submission and Aurorus line submission and Gravity Monkey's Abomasnow line submission. For our next slate...

Skill Link
These lines all share the multi-hit spamming ability Skill Link
Cloyster Line

Cincinno Line

Ambipom Line

And now, some announcements:​

• Alolan formes will be getting different items from thier regular formes
• The next thing that needs to be discussed is should non-cover UBs get items? This is a hard yes or no - if Stakataka is getting one, all of them will. It would be great to come to a verdict on this by the end of voting
• I'm going to be working on a spreadsheet, so I'll get that done in the next couple of days
• Now that my schedule is freeing up again, I'm going to be a bit harsher on what I considered to be balanced. Some submissions this slate were borderline broken, but the ones that were selected are good.
• Remember, if you have any slate suggestions, want to join the council, or have any questions / suggestions in general, just PM me.

Submissions will close Thursday Night EST. Have Fun!​

 

[Brodaha]

I think we should have Ultra Beast signature items, but Magearna is not an ultra beast, so don't give one to it.
Here is the so-called "criteria" for being an Ultra Beast, as I see it:
- Stats are all Prime Numbers
- Beast Boost as an ability
- BST of 570 (Naganadel and Poipole break this rule, but they are also the only ones to evolve and they follow the other rules.)
This also means that Lunala, Solgaleo, and Necrozma are not ultra beasts.

Will submit later.

 

[Yung Dramps]

Bramble Barrier: When this Pokemon is struck by a contact move, the attacker takes 12% damage and a layer of Spikes is set on their side of the field.

Steel Wool Tail: This Pokemon's attacks ignore any defense buffs the foe has (eg boosts, screens) and do 1.3x damage.

Extra Tail: This Pokemon's contact moves hit a second time at 1/3 of the power.

 

[Brodaha]

Cool Sunglasses: If the holder is a Shellder or Cloyster, it takes 1/2x damage from fire attacks and cannot have any stats lowered by an enemy.

Tail Dustpan: This Pokemon removes all hazards from the field immediately after switching in.
