Current thoughts:
Tapu Fini is too strong. With 140 Special Attack as a wall, it is very threatening to other walls like Giratina and Registeel.
Camerupt-Mega is too strong. It's literally a special Groudon-Primal that has an ability to use an item and a custom ability. Its 20 Speed isn't as much as a problem, since its resistances and ability to force mons out makes up for it.
Golisopod is too bulky. 120/180/80 bulk lol
Darmanitan's typing could be overcentralizing. Giratina is the premier physical wall, and Fire/Dark beating both Steel-types and Ghost-types is concerning. Then again, Golisopod and Tapu Fini have received buffs, so I'm not sure.
Lugia's bulk could be centralizing. Sure, 110 Speed sucks as a wall, but its sheer bulk threatens the viability of other things like Cresselia and Slowbro-Mega.
The next slate will be balancing previous mons out, and the one after that will be Rotom formes! Get hyped.
We'll focus on nerfing Tapu Fini, Camerupt-Mega, and Golisopod, but you can also submit mons you want buffed. As with other submissions, please give adequate reasoning with relevant calculations.
