Pokemon: Eternatus
Roles: Offensive Pivot, Choice Specs, Hazards, Defensive Pivot, Choice Scarf
Type:
Abilities: Pressure
Stat Distribution: 105 / 60 / 90 / 110 / 90 / 145 (600 BST)
Movepool Additions: Knock Off, Outrage, Dragon Claw, Dark Pulse
Movepool Removals: Cosmic Power
Custom Elements: Using Eternabeam transforms Eternatus into Eternatus-Eternamax. Does not work retroactively. Eternabeam is now Dark-type. Heals HP in the same manner as Zygarde's Power Construct.
Justification: It's literally just a toned down Eternatus. We know what this does. Walled to hell and back by Walrein and Cursola, struggles against stuff like Orbeetle, Drizzle Dhelmise, Aerodactyl. Outspeeds and switches in on Cherrim, which is always appreciated. Great speed control for teams, and is spooky to play against courtesy of what it can become if given a few free turns...
Pokemon: Eternatus-Eternamax
Roles: Special Wall, Physical Wallbreaker, Mixed Wall, Hazards
Type:
Abilities: Pure Power
Stat Distribution: 215 / 60 / 90 / 110 / 90 / 115 (680 BST)
Justification: You transform into this monster. Before you go screaming broken (215/90/90 bulk with recover and effective 160ish attack?), remember how this functions- You have to devote a moveslot to godawful Eternabeam, fire it off safely, and then survive the recharge turn. If you pull that off, though, you have a pretty damn chunky lad at your disposal. Given, it's stuck with 3 moveslots so you're either giving up recovery/a STAB or accepting you're walled by all fairies for eternity. Leads me to think a defensive set with Knock/Eternabeam/Toxic/Recover or something along those lines will be better. Regardless, isn't nearly as threatening as it looks and is pretty difficult to actually get on the field. Should be fun to try to see how people maneuver around fairies in order to safely play it, though. A late-game defensive wincon!
Pokemon: Zamazenta
Roles: Offensive Pivot, Choice Scarf
Type:
Abilities: Intimidate
Stats: 92 / 120 / 115 / 80 / 115 / 108 (630 BST)
Movepool Additions: Knock Off, U-Turn, Spikes, Parting Shot, Toxic, Drain Punch
Movepool Removals: Psychic Fangs
Custom Elements: If holding Rusted Shield, transforms into Zamazenta-Crowned the first time it is sent out (Intimidate still triggers).
Justification: Resub? What? The counterpart to Zacian, trading speed and power for some more bulk and a better typing to check Stonjourner with. It's also something for Zacian to check, finally. It also checks Gumshoos, Dhelmise, and Necrozma. Should be a great asset for Offense to handle Stonjourner and finally ease the whole "wait this just loses to Stonjourner" vibe we have going on right now.
Pokemon: Zamazenta-Crowned
Roles: Defensive Pivot, Hazards
Type:
Abilities: Dauntless Shield
Stats: 92 / 120 / 145 / 80 / 145 / 98 (680 BST)
Justification: I originally gave this thing Body Press, but then I did some calcs and decided against it. Shit's stupid powerful. Anyways, Zamazenta-Crowned functions chiefly as a defensive pivot that sets spikes, slaps stuff with decently powered STABs, or switches out with U-Turn/Parting Shot. Another defensive Steel that hard-checks Stonjourner (Superpower still hurts, though) and boasts the most raw bulk by far, but lacks recovery.
Pokemon: Drifblim
Roles: Hazard Control, Set-up Sweeper, Hazard Deterrent, Stallbreaker, Mixed Wall
Type:
Abilities: Levitate / Malware | Contrary
Stats: 190 / 111 / 48 / 111 / 63 / 87 (610 BST)
Movepool Additions: Vicious Mockery, Superpower, Darkest Lariat, Mystical Fire, Power Trip
Movepool Removals: None
Justification: A submission designed to control the flow of the hazards game- Possesses Defog itself, but also discourages opposing Defogs due to Contrary boosting evasion (the only acceptable form of evasion boosting). Ghost typing blocks Rapid Spin from Torkoal and Dhelmise. Also has Strength Sap to sustain itself, but the low HP prevents it from being a truly reliable healing option. Cool tech is that Magic Bounce bounces back Strength Sap, boosting Drifblim further and indirectly nerfing the (apparently) very good Necrozma. Held back by how it's forced to go mixed a lot of the time and has pretty subpar bulk before boosting. I was inspired to make this sub after seeing how subpar the hazard control options were, either due to better options in movepool (Dunsparce, Togekiss) or lack of splashability (Weezing).

Judgement Day is a far to strong as an ability, and allows Zamazenta to easily snowball offensive teams since they are unable to revenge kill it. I believe the ability needs a total rework, because I don't see anyway of balancing it outside of turning Zamazenta into a very frail Pokemon.
I don't see any reason to use this at all. Walrein and Dhelmise are also defensive Steel-types, but have reliable recovery and better utility (Walrein is also bulkier). Additionally, I don't see how it can make use of its ability. Please find a niche for it.
Broken. With Disguise it can always setup, it is the fastest Pokemon in the tier, +6 Ice Shard easily revenge kill faster Scarfers like Togekiss and Runerigus and priority users like Gumshoos. While Scarf Zacian or Stonjourner could be answers, it can just run SubSalac to beat them. So offensively it is impossible to properly check it.
Disguise is hardcoded for Mimikyu and I feel like Plant and Sandy were submitted as great users of it.
This is just a better Scolipede.
Fine
It is an extremely good wallbreaker, I'd just nerf slightly its Speed in order Runerigus and Aerodactyl to be able to revenge kill it. Because rn, it feels extremely difficult for offensive teams to deal with it.
Prankster Haze on something that fat with an incredible defensive typing is imo far to much, even without reliable recovery. Stallish builds are already good with very bulky stuffs like Walrein and Corsola and Trappers like Togekiss. They don't need something as good as this.
I'd just make it a bit faster, in order it to always revenge kill Stonjourner and not fall from Superpower.
This has no defensive switch-in. Close Combat pushes it imo over the edge, giving it the ability to 2HKO Walrein and Dubwool. Also please nerf its Attack stats, because even against not poisoned foes, Weavile's damage is insane.
I don't believe we need another Rain Abuser. It is already quite hard to wall Seismitoad and Torkoal rn. However, on its own the Pokemon is balanced.
we already talked from this on Discord and it is fine.
Base Keldeo is fine. But I don't see much reason to give up on Speed to transform into Keldeo-Resolute. Sure it hits stronger, but without the added Speed it isn't going to hit much things. Also it's not like Keldeo-Resolute is going to beat stall with it loosing to every Togekiss sets (unless Shed Shell). I'd make the power gap between both forms more significant, in order to give a great reason to use the Resolute form. Also you may have forgot to remove Sacred Sword from Keldeo's movepool (just saying this because you removed every other good physical Figthing type moves).
Fine
This Speed paired with Swords Dance is a bit to much for offense to check. I'd remove Swords Dance, since it could still find uses as a great utility in Healing Wish and Defog with power thanks to strong Wood Hammer and Brave Bird.
This monster is far to strong. It walls every physical wallbreakers outside of Stonjourner and Torkoal, special wallbreakers like Cherrim, Runerigus and Octillery can't switch safely, and thank to Taunt it isn't passive as Corsola is. Please nerf it. Make it more passive or less bulky, but right now it is just oppressive.
This feels very underwhelming. It lacks the bulk to setup and the Speed to threaten opposing walls, soi advice you to buff it.
Fine
Fine
I'm not a fan of it pressuring standard Dragon switch-in since Weezing and Zacian's viability aren't the best. You can easily find a less oppressive secondary type, that would just touch them for neutral damage.
I'm not really convinced of this things niche. It lacks utility and reliable recovery, and seems outclassed by Dunsparce, which while being less bulky has reliable recovery and a far bigger movepool.
Fine
I'd give it Hex in order it to abuse even more Scolipede's Poison Touch.
Idk if it is codable, but if is then it is fine.
Just let you know that nobody is going to run physical sets, even with Huge Power. They are just to weak. Also Special sets face to much competition from Octillery which has a similar coverage but also Scope-In. Darmanitan's quad weakness to SR also involves it can't forgo Boots and therefore can't run Choice item which could have been its niche over Octillery.
Fine, but I'm unsure if STAB E-Speed is enough for it to find a niche over Kyurem-Black.
Fine
I'd say this is mostly a worse Octillery, mostly due to Scope-In. However, Stallbreaking/Wallbreaking sets with Roost or Specs may find a niche.
Triage sets looks extremely oppressive. While Corviknight has two solid counters in Aerodactyl and Runerigus, if you don't have one of them, Corviknight seems unstoppable after a Nasty Plot. Imo you should remove its access to Nasty Plot.
Stance Change isn't a clone of an existing ability.
Fine
I'd buff its Attack because rn it seems quite passive, with a terrible defensive typing.
Fine
No physical Ghost-type move? Drifblim concept on itself is also very weird. You say that hazard removal is difficult rn, and you sub the perfect Spin/Defog detterent. I find this very paradoxal. But as a Defog/Spin detterent it is totally balanced and fine.
Plasma Wheel seems to be to much. Morpeko is already the fastest Pokemon and has a high Attack stats, it doesn't need to have a 110 Base Power stat boosting move. Pokemon with this type of moves in standard play (Serperior, Malamar, Morpeko, ...) have low initial raw power. Thus I'd nerf a bit its Attack and Speed stats to make it more manageable (also just edit Aura Wheel, don't make a complete custom).
Idk if shiny form changing is allowed. But even if it, is Drapion is broken. It is unstoppable under Sand: it is the fastest Pokemon available and hits extremely hard. Sand Cyclone is just a busted move, and shouldn't even exist, your Drapion just has perfect coverage with overwhelming stats.
Fine
Delta Stream's weather doesn't last 5 turns, it lasts as long as a Pokemon with Delta Stream is on the field or a user of Primordial See/Desolate Land doesn't activate its ability. So idk if it is codable. What does G-Max Wind Rage do? Overall Minior seems underwhelming, with 3 autoweather setters (two of them hard wall Minior) Minior will struggle to set up. Also, even under Core form, Minior is slow and not enough strong for something that needs a turn to setup. It is just not worth it. Also the meteor form is far to passive and slow to achieve anything, your hazard setter set invite every removers, and the screen setter is far to slow and outclassed by Orbeetle.
I'm not sure if it really profits from its Normal-type, but otherwise it is fine (even if I believe a small buff in all its stats would make it better while not broken). Also it doesn't look like it will run defensive sets at all (especially with Charm or without HP investment) because they don't offer much utility and Sawsbuck's bulk is to low (it will also compete with Dubwool). Sawsbuck's asset is its access to 5 STAB, therefore it can be hard to wall.
Why did you get rid off Stun Spore and Toxic? It makes Tangrowth far easier to take advantage of. Also can you give it a real Fighting-STAB (Drain Punch or Body Press), because nobody is going to run Superpower on a defensive Pokemon.
it is far to bulky.
Please nerf it a bit, it just murders offense rn. Also Signal Beam got cut in SS.
Cosmic Burst needs a total rework, because otherwise nobody is going to use this form. Imagine having a defensive Pokemon that needs to waste a full turn to have bulk and only has 3 moveslot. Tbh it is like Meloetta-Pirouette but worst.
FYI Groudon is never going to outspeed Cherrim because of Drought. Under sandstorm it beats Victreebel which you mention as a check. Outside of this nitpick, it is fine.
The Pokemon is fine. But again there are mistakes in the justifications. Regular Groudon isn't weak to Water and already beats Walrein and Torkoal. There is no real surpise factor with Groudon since it automatically transforms. Victreebel naturally outspeeds Groudon and therefore doesn't use Desolate Land against it. The line about Gligar is really confusing.
No. It's typing isn't that defensively awfull. If there is no answer to it once boosted, how can even believe it can be balanced? Like you said, its bulk is mediocre, but under screen it can for sure setup on weaker attackers.
Fine
I really doubt Aria will see uses, having to setup every time it comes on the field is painful and she will be useless against anything but stall due to her low Speed.
Fine
Fine
