Crossover Chaos Expanded
As the name implies, this metagame expands upon Crossover Chaos by including characters who debuted in works of fiction apart from video games. Anime, movies, comic books, cartoons, live action, novels, music, websites, tabletop games, you name it. This is the place for submissions based on how a character from a medium of that nature would fare in a Pokemon battle.
(Note: Real people, including VTubers, are prohibited.)
Submissions
For each slate, you have the opportunity to turn up to five of your favourite non-video-game characters into Pokemon (check the Winning Crossovers tab below to make sure your character has not won before). Feel free to resubmit your character in the following slate if they did not win.
You will need to create a suitable Type, Ability, and Moves for these characters. To keep things interesting, each character can have a new signature move, a new signature ability, and/or a new G-Max move. Be sure to explain what your new signature move or ability does. Keep in mind the abilities and affinities that the characters have in their original games and series.
Any custom abilities must be based on existing mechanics or you must provide working code to implement on PS!.
Moves such as Rest, Protect and Substitute that are considered 'universal' are automatically included in all submissions unless otherwise stated, so there is no need to mention them except for flavour reasoning. The same goes for 'minor' moves such as Water Gun, Ember or Confusion. Those moves are implied along with notable moves such as Surf, Fire Blast or Psychic.
As a guide, keep your submissions as powerful relative to their universe. A regular enemy should have average stats, protagonists should have stats similar to OU Pokemon and god-like characters should be limited to cover legendary BST. Also, please indicate if your submission is intended for OU, UU or Ubers.
Voting
Vote for your three favourite submissions by others in a 3-2-1 format (positional voting).
You can only include one of your submissions and it cannot be your top vote.
Late votes do not count.
Bonus Theme
Every even slate there will be a bonus theme.
Any submission that fits the theme will get a bonus vote at the end of the slate.
Please show that your submission matches the bonus theme like so:
**Pikachu**
For the other slates (called Anything Goes), no bonus points will be awarded.
Discussion Phases
A new addition to Crossover Chaos Expanded is the Discussion Phase. To ensure the meta remains balanced, a phase dedicated to discussing balance, changes, matchups, etc., will be held. This phase will lead to any adjustments needed to keep the meta healthy, such as adjusting BST, base power of moves or effects of custom elements.
Have fun!

Custom Ability: Winter Front
If Miyuki Shiba uses an Ice-type move, her Attack or Special Attack stat is multiplied by 1.5 during damage calculation.
This custom ability is good because it is based on Steelworker.

Custom Ability: Volcanicity
George the Volcano has the resistances of a Fire-type.
This custom ability would need code provided as it is not based on any current ability.

Pokémon: [Name of character]
Franchise/Origin:
Intended Tier: (OU, UU,or Ubers)
Type:
Regional Variation: (Optional)
Ability:
Notable moves:
Signature move:
G-Max Move, Z-Move, Mega Evolution, etc.: (Optional)
Stats: HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe
Reasoning: Explain the reasoning for the character's type, ability and moves. Include a description of the signature move or ability such as origin and lore. Feel free to be as creative and include as much detail as you want.

Pokémon: Pikachu
Franchise/Origin: Pokemon
Intended Tier: UU
Typing: Electric
Ability: Lightning Rod (Raises Special attack by one stage when attacked by an Electric-type move)
Moves: Volt Tackle, Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Fake Out, Extremespeed, Surf, Knock Off, Grass Knot
Signature Move: Volt Tackle (120 BP | Electric | 100% Accuracy | deals 30% recoil damage and has a 10% chance to paralyse the target)
Z Move: Catastropika (210 BP | Electric | Physical | must know Volt Tackle)
Stats: 35/55/40/50/50/90
Reasoning: Being an electric mouse, it makes sense that Pikachu is an Electric type. Its ability to conduct lightning allows it to have the ability Lightning Rod. Its new signature move, Volt Tackle, comes from the immense electrical charge Pikachu covers itself in when it charges at its opponents. Volt Tackle has 120 BP, has a 10% chance to paralyse, and deals 1/3 of recoil damage. Having a strong affinity to electricity, Pikachu learns a range of Electric-type moves such as Volt Switch and Thunderbolt. Pikachu also enjoys a range of activities such as surfing allowing it to learn Surf.
