:skarmory:Prevos For Everyone:mantyke:
In this Pet Mod, we are trying to change the LC metagame by creating new pre-evolutions to Pokémon that do not have prevos or evos currently. National Dex mons will be allowed.

Guidelines:

  1. The Pokémon chosen to have pre-evolutions must not have pre-evolutions nor evolutions.
  2. The pre-evolution needs to be made with balancing based on Little Cup. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/lcing-a-brief-guide-to-the-mechanics-of-little-cup.3694689/ this link gives an introduction to LC EVing and stats.
  3. The pre-evolution can't have a completely different typing from the evolution. Typing shouldn't differ too much. Types should be or removed (Bug-type Nymble :nymble: and Bug/Dark-type Lokix :lokix:) or should stay the same. (:Mareanie: and :toxapex:) Exceptions can be made, like how it happens on the Onix line, but it almost always happens like this.
  4. Slates will be chosen until we reach a good amount of new LC mons.

Slate One
:rb/aerodactyl: :rb/lapras: :rb/pinsir:
Aerodactyl is a potentially higher BST prevo that can punch some holes with DD and other moves (if they don't get removed)
Lapras has a more defensive type but its prevo can be repurposed to different roles
Pinsir is a scary offensive bug mon that can go wild with SD

Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spe

Description: The idea is that Patodactyl cannot fly, therefore it cannot learn any Flying-type move. In addition to that it hits a nice speed tier in 18 (if maxed) and Dragon Dance makes it harder to revenge kill after a boost. Rock Blast is a better option in LC due to the damage rolls in the tier, provided it hits 3 times.

Evolves into: Aerodactyl
Stats: HP-72 Atk-70 Def-45 SpA-25 SpD-39 Spe-79 BST: 330
Description: Sturdy to help him set up. Can easily get up Stealth Rocks or a Dragon Dance without being OHKOed and then hit back hard with multi hit STAB moves like Dual Wingbeat and Rock B
 
Name: Lonessy
Type: Water
Abilities: Water Absorb / Oblivious / Hydration
Stats: 92/50/46/50/64/25 (327)
Description: It lost its ice typing because if it was born at an extremely similar place to Loch Ness, the water from it technically wouldn't be frozen, so its ice typing did not "mature" yet. It also does not have a shell yet (so its Shell Armor ability is replaced) because mostmythical representations of the Monster of the Loch Ness does not have a shell either, so in Lapras' case, probably they got in a later stage of their life.
Evolution Method: Level up while holding a Shell Bell
Removed Moves: Avalanche; Blizzard; Freeze-Dry; Frost Breath; Future Sight; Horn Drill; Megahorn; Perysh Song; Psychic; Sparkling Area; Thunder

Name: Spikai
Type: Bug
Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Mold Breaker / Moxie
Stats: 38/90/69/16/30/60 (303)

Pokémon: Dimorphorok
Evolves Into: Aerodactyl (Evolves at level 35.)
Stats: 50/75/55/30/65/80
Typing: Rock/Flying
Abilites: Pressure/Rock Head/Unnerve
Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Bulldoze.

Dragon Pulse, Dragon Breath, Twister, Earth Power.

Dragon Dance, Roost.
Aerodactyl's preevolution, Dimorphorok, is inspired by the Dimorphodon, a small pterosaur. Competitively, Dimorphorok is pretty straightforward, it abuses its fantastic speed tier and good power to break holes in the opposing team, with some compression to boot in the form of Stealth Rocks.

We recommend you to lower the Speed a little, and then it's good to go. It's too fast.

This is the only veto, so when it gets fixed, we can open up votes! You have 24 hours.

I feel like when translating these pokemon to a pre-evo, it's important to look at what can make them unique while also still being a "younger" version of the grown up 'mon. In this respect, I find ViZar strikes a dominate showcase of keeping Aero unique and powerful, but with some interesting downsides as well.

A pinsir pre-evo is very tricky, considering it's typing and track record of being a rather underwhelming bug all together, I enjoy the direction Samtendo took with their concept here, but I don't want to discredit APaidActor either--! This seems like a 'mon that will probably need further rebalance after it's put in.

Sadly, none of you kept Lapras as an Ice type as a pre-evo. I think APaidActor has the right direction on making it have somewhat of a niche while removing the least amount of stuff from it. Seriously, removing the gen 1 oddities (electric, ice, psychic moves...) from this may sound "correct" or lean into the flavor, but would just hurt it in being a worthwhile pick.


Alrighty! I submit my votes, I also recommend extending the votes by another day or two honestly.

With this, here comes slate 2!!!
:rs/absol: :rs/torkoal: :rs/seviper:
 
:sv/Absol:
Name: Darksol
Type: Dark
Abilites: Pressure / Super Luck / Justified (HA)
Evolves: Into Absol at level 30.
BST: 45 / 100 / 40 / 45 / 40 / 60 | 330
Removed Moves: Close Combat, Superpower
Description: Hitting a 19 attack stat with full investment, Darksol is devestaingly powerful. STAB Knock Off combined with Swords Dance hits very hard, and solid abilites in Super Luck and Justified only make it stronger. Despite its middling speed, it also has STAB Sucker Punch to stop revenge killers. However, without fighting coverage, its movepool is terrible, making it easily walled by anything that resists Dark, especially Psychic, with basically only Iron Tail and Play Rough as coverage. Darksol is also incredibly frail, which combined with the only decent speed means anything that can take a Sucker Punch or has priority of its own can take it out.

:sv/Torkoal:
Name: Burntle
Type: Fire
Abilites: White Smoke / Shell Armor / Drought (HA)
Evolves: Into Torkoal with a Fire Stone.
BST: 50 / 50 / 90 / 65 / 50 / 20 | 325
Removed Moves: Earth Power, Solar Beam, Stone Edge
Description: Basically just the same as normal Torkoal, but with potential Evolite. It's a good support Pokemon that can set up sun, spread burns with Lava Plume, set up rocks, and remove hazards with Rapid Spin. Its terrible speed, below average special bulk, and common weaknesses are what hold it back, although its physical bulk is still very solid.

:sv/Seviper:
Name: Toxiconda
Type: Poison
Abilites: Shed Skin / Inflitrator (HA)
Evolves: Into Seviper at level 27.
BST: 53 / 70 / 50 / 70 / 50 / 50 | 333
Removed Moves: Earthquake, Swords Dance
Description: Decent mixed attacker with a surprsingly good movepool with coverage options such as Aqua Tail and Flamethrower, as well as priority in Sucker Punch. However, its slow speed and poor bulk means it can easily be revenge killed and thus is mostly only servicable as a wallbreaker.
