Pokemon: Octillery
Type:
BST: 90 (+15) / 105 / 90 (+15) / 125 (+20) / 90 (+15) / 65 (+20) (570)
Abilities: Technician | Sniper |
Skill Link
New Moves: Water Shuriken, Nasty Plot, Earth Power
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Although it seems pale compared to Mega Blastoise at first, Octillery's access to Nasty Plot will help it to get a much needed Special Attack boost. Technician gives more power to Charge Beam and Mud Shot, but Skill Link can give Octillery a significant advantage of Water Shuriken, as well as Bullet Seed and Rock Blast as coverages. It also have decent bulk of 90 / 90 / 90, which while average, it does allows Octillery to safely switch in against opposing Fire-type, Water-type or Ice-type.
Pokemon: Masquerain
Type:
/
BST: 90 (+20) / 60 / 72 (+10) / 113 (+13) / 115 (+33) / 120 (+40) (570)
Abilities: Intimidate | Prankster |
Tinted Lens
New Moves: Hurricane, Taunt, Focus Blast
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Masquerain will play as a fast sweeper with Quiver Dance, making it a fast Water-type Volcarona. While the latter have a much stronger Special Attack, Masquerain have better bulk and is faster, but Water-type is not really the best Offensive STAB compared to Fire-type. That is to say, it can either cripple most Physical attackers with Intimidate, set up Sticky Webs, Taunt or Toxic with Prankster and use Roost for a quick heal, or Tinted Lens to punish switch-ins. That is to say, Physical moves can still hurt it badly, and Accelerock can put an end to it, especially if it is STAB or from a Technician Optimized Lyranroc-Midnight. It also needs Hurricane and Focus Blast, lest Optimized Unaware Hariyama and Steel-types will put an end into it.
Pokemon: Slowking
Type:
/
BST: 105 (+10) / 45 (-30) / 90 (+10) / 120 (+20) / 150 (+30) / 60 (+30) (570)
Abilities: Serene Grace | Magic Guard |
Regenerator
New Moves: Earth Power, Lava Plume, Hex
Removed Moves: None
Justification/Niche: I am pretty sure someone will objects "But Sam, this will steal Optimized Goodra's job as a Special wall!" Well fear not, both can still do different roles. While Optimized Goodra will take cares of opposing Dragon-types, this Slowking will take care of a majority of Physical sweepers, and when combined with Hex, Ghost-types. The Burn chance from Scald and Lava Plume from Serene Grace is very high and thus neat, but can be problematic against Pokémon that benefit the burn such as Optimized Hariyama and Zangoose (especially the former does to its enormous bulk and not scared of its STAB), but it leaves itself vulnerable to Stealth Rock. It can be solved with Magic Guard or Regenerator, but this is your decision to know what to do with Slowking. It is slow and cannot go faster, but it got Nasty Plot and Slack Off, making it a very threatening wallbreaker at the same time. And consider Slowking's already great Special moveset...
tl;dr, Optimized Slowking becomes a painful Burn spreader or a self-healing bulky sweeper.
EDIT: ...Well blow me down. Snorlax can get Happy Hour as an Event Move, from Munchlax. Welp... we better be careful with the Gyarados submissions here.
