For Water/Fairy, Rasdanation wins with Fuscicea!Pokemon: Fluormingo [fluorescent + flamingo]
Type: Steel / Flying
Ability: Drought
Stats: 72 / 115 / 80 / 50 / 120 / 58
Moves:
Physical: Brave Bird, Dual Wingbeat, Fire Punch, Flare Blitz, Gyro Ball, Iron Head, U-turn, Wild ChargeSpecial: Air Slash, Fire Blast, Flash Cannon, Flamethrower, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, Weather BallStatus: Defog, Roost, Shift Gear, Swords Dance, Will-O-WispDescription: Sun Setter, Mixed Wall, and Setup Sweeper. Drought is an interesting ability for Steel/Flying types. While it does magnify its Fire-type weakness (which justifies me putting more bulk eheheh), its many resistances (notably to Ground, Flying, and Poison) help it support the Fire- and Grass-types it will presumably support. It basically has all of defensive Corviknight's tools along with Will-O-Wisp, which helps patch its mediocre physical bulk. Additionally, Shift Gear helps this Pokemon sweep despite its low base speed, Drought also helping boost its Fire coverage, which lets it hit Steel-types better. Although it is incompatible with other weather archetypes where it would like to be, like Rain and Sand, its solid typing, bulk, and versatility lets it be a solid pick in and out of weather.
And for Normal/Dark, JosJet wins with Slashowa!(Note: Will not be this exact sprite, but Fuscicea's sprite will have a similar design to my Bascudash sprite)
Name: Fuscicea (Fu Manchu + Piscine + Panacea)
Ability: Natural Cure / Adaptability [HA]
Typing:
Stats: 65/80/75/95/90/105 [510 BST]
Weight: 16.0 kg
Relevant Moves:
: Aqua Tail, Flip Turn, Iron Head, Iron Tail, Liquidation, Play Rough, Stone Edge, Wild Charge, Zen Headbutt
: Earth Power, Flash Cannon, Ice Beam, Moonblast, Psychic, Scald, Surf
: Calm Mind, Heal Bell, Swords Dance
Flavor Moves: Universal TMs, Aqua Ring, Chip Away, Dazzling Gleam, Dive, Double Hit, Headbutt, Healing Wish, Last Resort, Life Dew, Purify, Quick Attack, Rain Dance, Scale Shot, Splash, Swift, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Water Sport, Waterfall, Whirlpool
Description: Fuscicea is based on the Fu Manchu Lionfish, whose scales and mustache, instead being incredibly poisonous, is said to be able to cure various ailments. This handsome mustache fish is designed around being a mixed set up wallbreaker, who can alter between two main playstyles. Its physical sets are more offensively oriented, running Swords Dance alongside Adaptability-boosted Liquidation/Aqua Tail/Aqua Jet, Play Rough, alongside one other coverage move. Meanwhile, its special sets are a bit more defensively oriented, opting to boost its special defense as well. This is complimented by its overall higher special-attacking stat and its decent special defense.
Discussion phase will open for 24 hours.
Pokémon: Slashowa (Slash + Show + Boa)
Abilities: Soundproof / Technician / Punk Rock
Typing:
Base Stats: 70 HP / 55 Atk / 70 Def / 115 SpA / 65 SpD / 115 Spe
Moves:
Knock Off, Double Edge, Close Combat, Gunk Shot, U-turn
Hyper Voice, Fiery Wrath, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Overheat
Calm Mind, Parting Shot, Taunt, Substitute, Glare, Toxic, Heal Bell
Intended roles: Special Wallbreaker / Special Setup Sweeper / Choice SpecsBite, Crunch, Tackle, Wrap, Lick, Iron Tail, Lash Out, Night Slash
Snore, Round, Uproar, Swift, Grass Knot
Tail Whip, Coil, Switcheroo, Attract, Protect, Rest, Sleep Talk, Perish Song, Swagger, Encore, Rest, Sleep Talk, Safeguard, Fake Tears, Focus Energy, Scary Face, Work Up
Description: Slashowa would work as a fast special wallbreaker and setup sweeper. It could potentially set up with Calm Mind, or use Choice Specs to add on to its wall breaking potential. With Punk Rock, Hyper Voice become a much better move without drawbacks other than the fact that it doesn’t have a very good offensive typing. It also gets access to Fiery Wrath which would essentially just work as a slightly stronger Dark Pulse. While Slashowa only has an decent special attacking stat, its abilities and movepool options help make it a stronger wallbreaker.
Slashowa is based on Slash (Saul Hudson) who is the lead guitarist of the band Guns N’ Roses! Slash is also known for loving reptiles and has been keeping snakes since the age of 11, so that's what Slashowa’s design would be based on. I chose to go down this route to sort of continue the theme behind Obstagoon (as Obstagoon has a very similar appearance to Gene Simmons from Kiss). Obstagoon and Slashowa would be rivals in the Pokémon world.
