Ideas for Fire Fairies

[Zohnical]

Mentioned in the additional regional forms thread, also thinking of Empire where Alcremie can be made into one, curious what other mons could fit the mold for such a form

[Kooks]

Aevian-Absol

 

Fire/Fairy

Ability: Adaptability

Stats:

HP: 65

ATK: 75

DEF: 60

SPA: 130

SPDEF: 60

SPEED: 75

After years of constant eruptions and unstable seismic movement, the Absol that are naturally drawn to disasters have adapted to the heat since thousands of years ago. It is said that ancient Garufan civilisation used to see them as a sign of praise from Arceus, often warning when the volcano might erupt. (Use whatever volcano there is in rejuv lmao)

 

Lost moves: ice beam, dark pulse, superpower, yada yada yada (icbb)

gained moves: moonblast, fiery dance, flamethrower, fire blast, earth power, energy ball, power gem, earthquake, rock slide, Tremor Dance*

 

Tremor Dance: signature move of Aevian-Absol: Raises both speed and special attack by one stage. Absol gains a 50% boost in ground moves after it uses the move, until it switches out.

 

I think I went a bit overkill on this one, probably wins most of the game

Like that. Forget who created this on the custom files, but someone created a Mimikyu disguised as Charmander, and we definitely need that.

 

Team should definitely consider adding them

probably shouldn't give this thing adaptability, perhaps give it smth like flame body

If PorygonZ with far better stats and Adaptability has its biggest competitive achievement making Porygon2 able to run the Evolite, I doubt this A-Absol is busted, and running a setup sweeper without a sash is risky. Sure, Fire and Fairy are good offensive types, unlike Normal, but with mediocre speed and being about as frail as Dedenne (I have it at 252 HP with the crest, and it still dies to a sneeze!) if think it makes a good wallbreaker, but not much else. Sure, if you send it against a wall and somehow manage to stick double Tremor Dance it's gg (even with single Tremor Dance it's going to outspeed most things), unless the opponent has Sashed/Sturdy/priority mons.

 

A way to nerf it, rather than changing its ability, would be getting rid of Tremor Dance: if anything that's the thing that might cause problems. A lot of regional forms don't get a signature move anyway. It could get Calm Mind for a setup set, which, of course, it's not nearly as good. Another more crafty nerf is keep Tremor Dance, but make so it also gives -1 Def, the idea is that it becomes a glass cannot that literally dies to Quick Attack. We can go a big more heavy handed with that nerf:

Tremor Dance

Status, Base Power: N/A
Type: Fairy
Effect: User gains +1 Atk, Sp. Atk, Spe, -1 Def Sp. Def. Increases the power of the user's Ground moves by 50% (does not stack).
Description: The user performs a mystical dance that invokes the power of magma, but is left open to attacks.

For where you would be able to find it, Valor Mountain (Angry) and Carotos Mountain. The latter is Ch 2, which is definitely too early. Valor Mountain would be during the later parts of Chaper 8, where you do get some very interesting pokemon already (like A-Gastrogon, the MVP of my mono Fairy run). But I think that being an event pokemon after you backtrack to Magrodar Crater after the GDC arc is fine: specie power creep plateaus in GDC (maybe it's locked behind a Strenght puzzle?).
