Description: Remember this quirky pure-Steel type introduced in Generation V, with its unevolved form Klink found in the Joltik and Tynamo-filled Chargestone Cave — also found in the romhack Pokémon Vega during its postgame, and how its bread and butter Shift Gear + Gear Grind combo wasn't as cracked up as it was meant to be? With a quite more powerful Wild Charge, a new physical Electric move in Thunder Clap that is basically Electric-type EQ, and Gear Grind's new 90% accuracy; it has found new lease into what it used to do in vanilla competitive due to how much these new tweaks and buffs give Klinklang more reliable killing and sweeping power; yet in SylveMons, Shift Gear is still the powerful boosting move we all know and love. With a tweaked Battery now acting as an Electric-type Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent/Swarm clone and a buffed Technician that now affects a wider range of moves, from a 60 BP to 75 BP cap, it has found new incentive into using its Electric moves and its mediocre but still OK to use Sp. Atk stat, respectively. It's still doing what it did best in the lower tiers of the vanilla metagames since Generation V but now can stand up to more threatening opponents that teeter towards OU tier viability.

Chi Xiao Cut –
–
– 100 BP – 5 PP – 95% – High critical hit ratio.
Description: Smogon (and the greater Pokémon community) sure does have plenty of Arknights fans here, eh? In the non-expanded version of Gen 8 Crossover Chaos, she is only of few lone pure-Dragon types. Her base stats on the (mostly physically) attacking side brings mostly Kommo-o to mind, since both share the same base 85 speed stat. Her pure typing has an unique advantage over Kommo-o since she does not have Kommo-o's crippling 4x weakness. However, while she does have usable physical bulk, her base Sp. Def stat of 40 means she is easy prey to special attacks, even on resisted hits, so a Hydro Pump will still eat away around half of her HP even if her base HP stat of 107 is very good. This is similar to Kartana who has similar issues with their terrible Sp. Def. Her movepool has all the necessary tools to serve as a wallbreaker, revenge killer, or sweeper due to knowing Swords Dance, Extreme Speed, and Dragon Dance. Outrage is still a great STAB move, but if players don't want her being locked into it, her signature move Chi Xiao Cut is a physical variant of Palkia's Spacial Rend that nears Outrage in destructive potential. She also carries great coverage options such as Sacred Sword, Close Combat, Razor Shell, Rock Slide, and Fire Lash. She has a middling Special Attack stat, but Draco Meteor and Overheat are just enough of a reason to justify using it. While her abilities are nothing to write home about, at least Unnerve has some niche uses.
