Welcome to Restrictions! This is another micrometa-based mod as we've seen quite a few of before. For this meta, you can submit any BALANCED Fakemon that you want, so long as you're able to fit two of four restrictions defined by its current slate.
Adding Pokemon:
Each slate, I'll post 3 different sets. Set 1 will include four custom restrictions for stats, moves, abilities, and typing, set 2 will force you to choose a Pokemon from a group of some kind and copy two of its stat spread, moves, abilities, and typing, and set 3 will generate those four things randomly. You only have to use TWO of the four restrictions in each set. For set 1, I'm often straightforward about what I want, and set 2 you just have to make the two restrictions match the Pokemon you choose. For set 3's move or ability, then you have to make the Pokemon want to viably run it as opposed to just having it as an option, so if it mentions Intrepid Sword, the Pokemon should want to run the ability Intrepid Sword. You can't just give it Huge Power and say that it fits because it has Intrepid Sword as an option, there's no way it's going to want to run a strictly worse ability.
Try to make your submission unique. If you take the options that seem the most obvious, then your submission may not stand out.
Below, I have an example if none of that makes sense...
For this, you can have any of the following -
- (Choosing Stats + Type) A fast, special Ghost/Fairy-type that isn't particularly strong but can greatly abuse Choice Specs
- (Choosing Stats + Move) A mixed attacking Steel/Water-type that isn't fast enough to outspeed common Scarfers after a Clangorous Soul, but has a multitude of coverage options
- (Choosing Move + Ability) A physically-bulky Electric-type Pokemon with Ice Scales to find many easy setup opportunities, but lower attacking stats so it'd require a good amount of support
- (Choosing Ability + Type) A bulky pivot Ghost/Steel-type that uses Ice Scales to switch in easily, but it lacks recovery so it has little staying power
...or whatever else you want. There are six possible options, but you can do just about anything with those.
Miscellaneous Rules:
- You can only submit one Fakemon for each set of restrictions, but you can submit a Fakemon for all three per round.
- Custom moves, abilities etc. will not be allowed at all.
- Existing Pokemon will be banned, by the way. We'll finish with 60 Pokemon in total.
- I'm allowing people to submit sprites for this. You can make sprites specifically for this, or you can put in sprites that already exist. Nothing stolen obviously.
- If you want to sprite a Fakemon, make sure you ask the person who originally submitted it first. The spreadsheet also says if a sprite is reserved, so don't sprite anything that someone else has taken.
Submission Template:
Fakemon Name: Updog
Weight: 2 kg
Stats: 75/55/114/110/114/60 (528)
Typing: Ghost/Normal
Abilities: Cursed Body/No Second Ability/Unnerve
Movepool: Shadow Ball, Hyper Voice, U-Turn, Stealth Rock, Flamethrower, Recover, Protect
Description: This Pokemon uses the stats and the Ghost typing to give itself pretty nice bulk and pretty few weaknesses, making it a decent blanket check to much of the current OU metagame, although its lack of resistances makes it hard to call it a hard counter to anything aside from Pheromosa and Spectrier. It is succeptible to being statused and may end up being pretty passive aside from pivoting, though. But it still counters two very dangerous Pokemon for offense while also checking most other Pokemon pretty well and having decent utility outside of that, so it could have a pretty good use on offense.

You don't have to follow this, just make sure your sub is legible. I'd also prefer it if you bolded or italicized the parts that you took from the restrictions.
