Just about 24 hours to go, so if you haven't finished your submissions, better finalise them soon G-Luke , PrincessGardevoir and possibly Samtendo09 ?
Pokemon: Parasect
Type: Bug/Grass
BST: 105 / 135 / 90 / 50 / 90 / 100
Abilities: Triage / Tinted Lens / Prankster
New Moves: Strength Sap, Horn Leech, Drain Punch
Justification/Niche: Use Triage to fire off priority draining moves like Leech Life and Horn Leech. Tinted Lens/Prankster can be used if you want to go for support sets.
Pokemon: Masquerain
Type: Bug/Ghost
BST: 70 / 100 / 80 / 115 / 85 / 120
Abilities: Intimidate / Tinted Lens / Regenerator
New Moves: Lunge, Spirit Shackle, Will-o-wisp
Justification/Niche: Those eye wings look like something a scary ghost type would have just to play tricks on people. You can run the usual Quiver Dance set, with Shadow Ball being a nice additional STAB. But you can run a different moveset using Intimidate/Regenerator for U-turn/Defog shenanigans. Or debuffing physical attackers like Fighting types with Intimidate and Lunge (as long as they don't have a Dark type move). WoW is a nice ghost-related status move that can cripple physical attackers even further. Spirit Shackle could be an interesting option to trap support-based Pokemon as you set up. Sure its Atk stat is lower and lacks boosting options, but it should be enough that the Bug type support moves have some power to them. Its typing has a nice niche where the Bug type resists Scrappy Fighting type moves and Ground type moved, so it has a nice role of using Intimidate to make users of these moves less of a threat to your team.
Pokemon: Yanmega
Type: Bug/Fire
BST: 95 / 60 / 105 / 120 / 80 / 110
Abilities: Tinted Lens, Drought, Speed Boost
New Moves: Fire Blast, Lava Plume, Tail Glow
Justification/Niche: Drought for team support and make Water hurt less. Tinted Lens Lava Plume would be interesting. Speed boost combined with Tail Glow makes up for lower Sp Atk compared to Volcarona and the lack of Quiver Dance. Basically a physically bulkier and faster Volcarona but with less immediate Sp Atk.
