Welcome to the mod! I appreciate the enthusiasm, but as we aim to have a playable format where most stuff is ideally usable in a good manner...
Pokémon: Paldean Tauros (Blaze Breed)
Types: Fire / Dark
Abilities: Stakeout / Infiltrator / Cursed Body
New Moves: Raging Fury, Knock Off, Inferno, Jaw Lock, Hone Claws, Thousand Waves, Punishment, Darkest Lariat, Throat Chop, Destiny Bond, Taunt, Perish Song
Removed Moves: Body Press, Close Combat, Outrage, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Trailblaze, Double Kick, Earthquake, Rain Dance
Raging Bull: Fire type. Traps and damages the target for 4-5 turns (fire spin effect).
Description: Fire/Dark trapper that can harass and torture its victims, could go crazy with Grip Claw / Binding Band. Based on Moloch and the Brazen Bull.
The Raging Bull effect of Tauros-Combat is quite strong as it considerably devalues checks to it, change it to something more tame.
Pokémon: Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed)
Types: Fighting
Abilities: Mind's Eye / Super Luck / Steelworker
New Moves: Axe Kick, Swords Dance, Meteor Mash, Gear Grind, Sacred Sword, Cross Chop
Removed Moves: Body Press, Surf, Trailblaze
Raging Bull: Fighting Type. Damage calculated using the foe's Defense or Special Defense, whichever is lower.
Description: Tactical, calculated physical attacker with more than one trick up its sleeve. Based on the Minotaur.
Dragon/Steel with immunity abilities to its weaknesses has shown again and again to be a bad idea in Pet Mods, change the abilities please, or go for a less optimized type combination.
Pokémon: Appletun
Type: Dragon / Steel
Abilities: Well-Baked Body / Battle Armor / Earth Eater
Stats: 110/ 80 / 100 / 90 / 100 / 30 (510 BST) [0 / -5 / +20 / -10 / +20/ 0 (+25)]
Movepool Changes:
+ Poison Fang, Grav Apple, Strength Sap, Dragon Breath, Dragon Energy, Flash Cannon, Synthesis, Glare, Metal Burst.
- Energy Ball, Leaf Storm, Superpower, Draco Meteor, Solar Beam, Grassy Glide,
Description: Going for the "Sudowoodo is a rock that looks like a tree" approach on this one. Appletun's metal shell looks like apple pie: Predators who try to have a bite shatter their teeth and run away.
We just recently nerfed a similar mon in as a fast Dark with a lot of offensive and utility options proved to be too much, and this is essencially that but better, please tone down the speed and movepool.
Pokémon: Raticate-Alola
Type: Dark/Normal
Abilities: Stamina/Strong Jaw/Sewer Swarm (Toxic Chain clone)
Stats: 130/90/85/40/80/125 (576 BST) [+55/+19/+15/0/0/+73 (+162)]
Movepool Changes:
+ Rapid Spin, Mortal Spin, Tidy Up, Thunder Fang, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Poison Fang, Psychic Fangs, Jaw Lock, Aqua Jet, Waterfall, Tail Slap, Hone Claws, Trailblaze, Parting Shot
Description: Raticate now becomes able to fulfill multiple different roles on a team, from wall to setup sweeper to fast utility pivot! The Fat Rat gets fatter with a sizeable HP increase and a little boost to its Defense, but judging from its massive Speed increase, this weight doesn't seem to be slowing it down! 90 Base Attack doesn't seem like much, but coupled with Strong Jaw, a plethora of new Biting moves that include BoltBeam coverage in Thunder Fang and Ice Fang (as well as Fire Fang to hit steels), and great setup moves in Tidy Up and Hone Claws, the Rodent isn't afraid to get Rowdy with its foes!
Stamina lets Raticate use its amazing physical bulk and raise it to greater heights. Given because Rats have enough stamina to swim continuously for three days non-stop.
Strong Jaw give our friend some much-needed power, and synergizes well with both its new and existing movepool. Given because of the sturdiness of rats' teeth, as well as their classification as rodents.
Sewer Swarm lets utility Raticate spread disease and pestilence while it switches in and out of battle. Given due to rats' infamous history with diseases and contemporary rats' prevalence to hide in sewers.
Other lore references:
Aqua Jet and Waterfall given to reference rats being able to crawl up toilet plumbing in rat-heavy neighbourhoods.
Trailblaze given because rats have historically been trailblazers, in the sense of boarding ships and spreading to new continents.
Rapid Spin, Mortal Spin and Tidy Up given to symbolize rats being used in cities like Paris to clean up trash.
Parting Shot given because rats tend to flee from humans instead of fighting.

Movepool Changes: +Belly Drum, Body Press, Brick Break, Bullet Seed, Feint Attack, Play Rough, Seed Bomb
Description: Alolan Raticate losing the one thing Raticate had, STAB Guts Facade, will always be stupid to me. Is it basically Obstagoon now? Yeah, but unlike Obstagoon it also has STAB priority in Quick Attack and Sucker Punch! I also gave it some additional silly options like BDrum + Cheek Pouch and Hustle + Feint Attack.
