If the emphasis is on version exclusives, then that's still not a reason for Electrode + Amoonguss and Salamence + Metagross.

I have a request for the OP to include the one-sentence description listed with each micrometagame so that if the name is unclear, people can see what it means without having to cycle through each link. Also Arceus cup sounds fun because team preview hides typing

The Barber Shop
Enter The Barber Shop, with the swirly poles which mesmerize you for hours on end, the interesting small talk, the dissatisfied sense you get after you get your hair cut. The premise of this mini-metagame is that only Pokemon with Facial Hair are able to be used.
Clarifications:
- OU Clauses
- Cat's Whiskers aren't Facial Hair and are frowned upon by the Barber
- Just because an Evolution of a Pokemon is able to be used, their Pre-Evo must have Facial hair, and the same goes for the other way around (rip Walrein).

You need to add in furfrou, for principle. It may not have facial hair, but it is the pokemon that can be hairstyled.Approved by Eevee General

Do you mind writing out the little descriptions for me and I can add it to the OP?
InfernapeTropius11
get on my level
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 32 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Tornadus-T: 130-153 (42.3 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO (under Gravity)
8+ SpA Tornadus-T Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Landorus: 190-225 (59.5 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I gave Torn-T 216 Speed EVs, allowing it to outspeed Lando-I. It takes less damage from Lando-I's coverage (the most it can do is 3HKO under Gravity with Earth Power) and 2HKOs back. The exact spread is 32 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD / 216 Speed with Assault Vest and a Modest nature. BOOM switchin AND revenge killer!
Noivern also outspeeds and can revenge kill with Hidden Power Ice or Specs Draco, as can Thundurus-I with Hidden Power Ice. That's basically it though lol

I'd like to mention you're ignoring the Gen 4 Pixies (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf), which all have gems on their head.
Don't know whether or not updated one-liners should just be edited into my original post or posted as an update. Either way
- Gem-Mons -- If the Pokemon has a jewel(s) on their body, they can be used!
