yeah, actually only 1 person submitting for lurantis is a slight issue :/ what do you guys think we should do? I think we should keep with it for now, but maybe hold a re-vote in the future. Also, we definitely need to use a different system for submitting ideas, as this problem shows.
 
How about this? Instead of slate 4, submit 2, slate 3, submit 4. Ie. one of the slate slots is for any pokemon you want. Oly one winner for the free-for-all slot, but it provides variety without preventing a mon from not being submitted for and shows which mon people are looking forward to being slated (and if you lose the free-for-all slot, you can resubmit when that on is slated).

I don't consider the Lurantis submission a bad one, but its a pit when we're getting wins by default.

Voting

Raticate: Ezaphs, money12wolf, Sereg


Vikavolt: Exploudit, Yung Dramps, Ezaphs


Lurantis: Gojiratar


Gumshoos: Yvetal for PU, Gojiratar, Yung Dramps

Well, that's it for voting! Here are the winners:
My Raticate,
A tie between Yveltal for PU and Gojiratar for Gumshoos (anyone who didn't vote for either of them, feel free to partake in the tiebreaker),
Yung Dramps' Vikavolt,
and my Lurantis! just kidding of course
I'll release the next slate in a few hours as I'm a bit rushed for time. :)
 
I have a suggestion for tiebreakers.
When there's a tie, the person with the most 'first' votes wins.(e.g. i first voted ezaphs for vikavolt, sereg for raticate-alola, etc.)
This would mean that only the votes that people put most of their voting power into would count.
I don't know, maybe this wouldn't work. It's just a suggestion.

It such a nice idea, but i'm sad because if we follow that, Yveltal should win :'[

Ok, here's the new slate!

Sentry Strike
Once these ancient Pokémon get themselves into position, who knows what destruction could ensue?
NOTE: The voting system is going back to how it was at first! This solves all the problems, and who cares if ideas are similar anyway? Just submit for as many as you like.

Colossus-Regigigas
Stats: 180
(+70) / 180 (+20) / 110 / 80 / 110 / 120 (+20)
Trigger: Reaching 25% health or lower
Type: Normal
Buffed Move: Crush Grip: Activates a Wrap-like effect on the opponent (Cos you're grabbing em)
Description: When weakened to a concerning point, Regigigas uses its ancient powers once more to enlarge its body. Not a small expansion either, it's magnified 10x! Good luck toppling this.
Competitive Analysis: Possibly the best mon to ever exist. With Regigigas' already decent speed, setting up Substitutes to drop its health isn't overly difficult. Because of its bulk, it can probably get a few Power-Up Punches off too in some scenarios. Once it is in its Bond form, very little can stop it, thanks in part to the HP restoration. You can also use Crush Grip to trap mons in and beat if you want.

Barricade-Regirock
Stats: 90 (+10) / 150 (+50) / 250 (+50) / 50 / 100 / 50
Trigger: Having an adjacent Pokémon faint.
Type: Rock
Buffed Move: Stone Edge: 110BP, 100% Accurate
Description: For some reason it seems that a Pokémon fainting near the Regi trio rejuvenates them, restoring them to their original condition for the rest of the battle.
Competitive Analysis: A much needed improvement to the original. This form is practically invulnerable when it comes to taking physical attacks, and is much better at putting out damage with a very formidable 150 Attack alongside its utility in Stealth Rocks. It could definitely see use in higher tiers.

Veil-Regice
Stats: 90 (+10) / 50 / 100 / 150 / 250 / 50
Trigger: Having an adjacent Pokémon faint.
Type: Ice
Buffed Move: Blizzard: 100% accurate
Description: For some reason it seems that a Pokémon fainting near the Regi trio rejuvenates them, restoring them to their original condition for the rest of the battle.
Competitive Analysis: A much needed improvement to the original. This form is practically invulnerable when it comes to taking special attacks, and is much better at putting out damage with a very formidable 150 Special Attack alongside its utility in Aurora Veil. It could definitely see use in higher tiers.


Cyborg-Registeel
Stats: 90 (+10) / 75 / 200 (+50) / 75 / 200 (+50) / 50
Trigger:
Having an adjacent Pokémon faint.
Type: Steel
Buffed Move: Iron Head: 100BP
Description: For some reason it seems that a Pokémon fainting near the Regi trio rejuvenates them, restoring them to their original condition for the rest of the battle.
Competitive Analysis: A direct upgrade to the original Registeel. With the best single type defensively and significantly more bulk than a Shuckle, This thing will be a serious pain to deal with. It could definitely see use in higher tiers.

Well many things about him are mysterious, he is known to have captured multiple legendaries, including the Regi-trio and to have befriended their master. Together, their power is even more legendary. When Registeel is reminded of the moves that were required to free it, it becomes even more powerful. It also becomes even better at improving its defences.

Base Stats: 80/150 (+50)/210 (+10)/50/150 (+50)/50

Together, their power is even more legendary. When Regigigas is reminded of the moves that were required to free it, it becomes even more powerful. It incorporates the moss that has grown on its body and reclaims its poer to tow continents, now towing away pokemon, terrains and stealth rocks.

You forgot to show how much each regice was improved in each stat(with the exception of hp)
it's nice to see a mixed wall that can use aurora veil and has 150 spA.
no seriously this was a much deserved buff to all of them.

by the way, sorry gojaritar. at least we thought your lurantis was so good everone decided to vote for it and only it unanimously.

hold the flipping phone, why is regigigas here? since it uses battle bond in this mod it no longer has slow start and is therefore just a random uber running about that can transform to become the highest statted pokemon in the game
i thought this was ou based

really really shouldn't have been allowed

also Sereg pretty sure giga impact does not count as regigigas's signature move nor does it hold any special significance to regigigas, and it's certainly not under 60 bp, so im not sure you're allowed to upgrade it.

regigigas getting the bst of mega mewto y/mega rayquaza and losing his shitty ablity is admittedly *maybe* a bad idea.
Should we forego the bst buff just in his case?
His bst is already getting buffed due to slow start's removal anyways.
 

Brandon-Regirock

Base Stats: 130 HP (+50) / 130 Atk (+30) / 200 Def / 50 SpA / 130 SpD (+30) / 50 Spe
Battle Bond Activation: Wait 3 turns after Regirock is sent in, if Regirock hasn't transformed and switches out, the time counter is reset.
Buffed Move: Stone Edge
Move Changes: Heals the user for 4/3x of the damage done.
Rationale: Brandon is the only notable character to own Regirock and overall the entire titan trio is commonly associated with Brandon. The five turn activation is to compare it to Regigigas' Slow Start. Stone Edge is chosen as it is the last Rock-type move Regirock learns by level up. The healing effect added to Stone Edge is not only to help it recover more HP, but also because summoning rocks from the ground would allow it to grab some and reconstruct itself.
Competitive: 130 / 200 / 130 bulk is outstanding and base 130 Atk gives it offensive presence and allows it to recover more with Stone Edge. On the other hand, Rock is still garbage defensively and having to wait 3 turns doesn't really help, not to mention the lack of reliable recovery.

Brandon-Regice

Base Stats: 130 HP (+50) / 50 Atk / 130 Def (+50) / 130 SpA (+50) / 200 SpD / 50 Spe
Battle Bond Activation: Wait 3 turns after Regice is sent in, if Regice hasn't transformed and switches out, the time counter is reset.
Buffed Move: Ice Beam
Move Changes: Heals the user for 4/3x of the damage done.
Rationale: Brandon is the only notable character to own Regice and overall the entire titan trio is commonly associated with Brandon. The five turn activation is to compare it to Regigigas' Slow Start. Ice Beam is chosen as it is the last Ice-type move Regice learns by level up. The healing effect added to Regice is not only to help it recover more HP, but also because creating a beam of ice could allow Regice to become even colder and therefore sturdier.
Competitive: 130 / 130 / 200 bulk is outstanding and base 130 SpA gives it offensive presence and allows it to recover more with Ice Beam. On the other hand, Ice is still garbage defensively and having to wait 3 turns doesn't really help, not to mention the lack of reliable recovery.

Brandon-Registeel

Base Stats: 130 HP (+50) / 105 Atk (+30) / 150 Def / 105 SpA (+30) / 150 SpD / 50 Spe
Battle Bond Activation: Wait 3 turns after Registeel is sent in, if Registeel hasn't transformed and switches out, the time counter is reset.
Buffed Move: Flash Cannon
Move Changes: Heals the user for 4/3x of the damage done.
Rationale: Brandon is the only notable character to own Registeel and overall the entire titan trio is commonly associated with Brandon. The five turn activation is to compare it to Regigigas' Slow Start. Flash Cannon is chosen as it is the last Steel-type move Registeel learns by level up. The healing effect added to Registeel is not only to help it recover more HP, but also because Flash Cannon could help it produce the metal that consists its body healing it up.
Competitive: This one is probably the most viable, 130 / 150 / 150 bulk is outstanding and Flash Cannon gives it a way to recover some HP along with Leftovers and Protect. The lack of reliable recovery and having to wait 3 turns does hurt though.

Brandon-Regigigas

Base Stats: 110 HP / 190 Atk (+30) / 110 Def / 110 SpA (+30) / 110 SpD / 150 Spe (+50)
Battle Bond Activation: Wait 5 turns after Regigigas is sent in, if Regigigas hasn't transformed and switches out, the time counter is reset.
Buffed Move: Crush Grip
Move Changes: Deals 1.5x more damage (so BP varies between 180 and 1 instead).
Rationale: Brandon didn't really own Regigigas but he got really close to do so in the animé, in fact due to him bein the only trainer that has all the entire Regi Trio, he's technically the only one that could catch Regigigas. Crush Grip is obviously chosen because it is Regigigas' Signature Move after all.
Competitive: Ubers, ez Ubers. Already not having Slow Start already makes it banworthy for OU but now with 190 Atk and 150 Spe only the sturdiest Primal Groudon can tank a hit!
 
but now with 190 Atk and 150 Spe only the sturdiest Primal Groudon can tank a hit!
lugia with ms up can too afaik

but yeah this checks out

252 Atk Life Orb Regigigas Crush Grip (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Groudon-Primal: 263-309 (65 - 76.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Regigigas Crush Grip (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Groudon-Primal: 331-391 (81.9 - 96.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

also the 'because Flash Cannon could help it produce the metal that consists its body healing it up.' line makes no sense because flash cannon is just a beam of light

Keep in mind Crush Grip decreases power as Regigigas attacks Primal Groudon, so it'll never KO with this move only. I mean its obviously busted but that's kind of the point, actually probably AG worthy, to make company for Mega Ray. But about Registeel, yeah its kind of a stretch, I wanted to keep the recover theme and use Flash Cannon since it is the last move Registeel learns by level up as I said, do you have any better ideas?
