Crest Suggestions! (CLOSED)

Persian - Increases crit stage by 1; landing a critical hit boosts attack by +1/+2 (callback to its always landing crits in gen 1)

Muk or Toxicroak (makes sense for either) - Pokemon poisoned / badly poisoned by this pokemon take twice as much damage each turn. This pokemon can poison steel types.

Primeape - gets Gorilla Tactics

Pachirisu - On turns when this pokemon doesn't protect, it automatically gets the follow me effect, and additionally gains the effect of static, in honor of the time it was a national champion

Genesect - If one of the drives Genesect has access to would cause techno blast to be super effective, techno blast deals super effective damage

Whimsicott - While this pokemon is active, your team has Tailwind applied (ends immediately if it faints / switches out)

Vespiquen - Vespiquen controls a swarm of Combees, by default buzzing around her, increasing defense and special defense by one stage and healing 1/8 hp per turn. Attack Order sends the Combees to attack the target, dealing 1/8 hp per turn but losing the defensive benefits. Defend and Heal Order return the bees to Vespiquen.

Absol - Sensing danger, Absol dodges the first attack per battle that would knock it out.

Stunfisk (Unovan): Takes no damage from Water-type attacks, and regains a portion of its HP when it's hit by one. Maybe a 1.3x buff to its Special Attack, as well.

 

Grumpig: Merges Attack with Special Defense, and ignores the opposing Pokemon's stat changes.

 

Drifblim: Burns it, and gives it immunity to passive damage. (Like Zangoose's crest, but with Magic Guard instead of a healing effect)

 

Perrserker: Merges Defense and Speed, and its attacks always score critical hits, as long as it has full HP.

Addendum:

Cacturne: gives a 1.25x boost to Attack and Special Attack, and applies Sand Rush.

Corsola (Johtovian): Attack merges with Defense, and all moves that make physical contact get a 1.3x damage boost (kind of like a knife)

Lycanrock midnight - gets the flash fire version for dark type attacks or ghost type attacks (because werewolf or lycan fables about them going out at night).

Lycanrock midday - gets the flash fire version for fairy type attacks or psychic type attack (because he is the version you get during the day).

Lycanrock dusk - gets the flash fire ability version for dark and fairy/ ghost and psychic or whatever combination of day and night creatures you guys think might work.

And maybe some small boost to attack/ defense/speed , maybe 1.25 or less.

Dhelmise: Moves that trap (such as Whirlpool and Anchor Shot) now have priority over switching (just like pursuit, they don't double in damage though).

Morpeko: Each time it enters Hangry mode it's attack gets raised by one stage.

Roserade - Allows it to Poison anything regardless of type, increases the effect of HP Draining Moves, given the effects of Chlorophyll when in the sun
Flygon - Swaps Weaknesses and Resistances
Chimecho - Raises Chimecho's Sp. Atk and Sp. Def by 4 stages, is given the effects of Heal Bell (affects the whole party) on Switch in as well as the effect of Regenerator on Switch Out (Chimecho Only)
Lurantis - Swaps its Speed with its Sp.Atk, is given the effects of Chlorophyll and Solar Power when in the sun
Grapploct - Doubles the effect of Octolock, boosts the Pokemon's Defense by 2 stages and its Sp. Def by 4 stages.

Togekiss Crest- Boosts attack stat and speed stat by 1.5x + gives power herb effect to any two turn move everytime it gets used OR grants pixilate for any normal type move it uses.

Togekiss (power herb effect)

Ability: Serene Grace/Super Luck

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def

Adamant/Jolly Nature

- Sky Attack

- Drain Punch

- Play Rough

- Roost

OR

Togekiss (pixilate effect)

Ability: Serene Grace/Super Luck

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def

Adamant/Jolly Nature

- Dual Wingbeat

- Drain Punch

- Extreme Speed/Double-Edge/Body Slam

- Roost

I thought a physical Togekiss would be interesting as it does have the hustle ability, and this crest could help it utilize its physical spread much better. Also, if you could this crest both the power herb and pixilate effect, that would be nice :). I want my boi to be busted af.

Lurantis Crest : Increases base speed by 1.5, and grass type attacking moves lower the user's physical attack by 1.

Mawile Crest : Gives Prankster effect.

Vikavolt : The first special attacking move this pokemon uses after switching in has priority.

Golem (Kanto) : Self-Destruct/Explosion are treated as rock-type moves, and when Golem is hit by an attack, the opponent's defense is lowered by 1.

Phione Crest(for a pokemon considered legendary it's too weak)-Changes Phione's ability to Primordial Sea(or if too much op Drizzle)

Gogoat Crest(i don't know why but i love this pokemon)-Increases Horn Leech damage and Grass Pelt now restores HP no matter the terrain

Gothilette Crest(it's one of the few pokemon respected  by the Garufa, so it deserves it)-Changes ability to Holy Mind(kind of bad name, the effect of this ability makes Psychic type moves hit Dark and Ghost types super effectively, if you think of a best name go nuts)

Vivillon Crest(they're called Butterflies of Fate, so lets give them the power to change it for better)-Quiver Dance doubles it's boosts and gives a new ability called Fate's Call(or another better name you think, i believe my naming sense it's trash ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), if dies applies Destiny Bond on the opponents

Luxray Crest( man, even with Guts no one uses it, so it deserves it since i think the design it's cool)-Makes it's ability Guts if don't, burn the pokemon as it enters the battle, and applies Moxie (boost attack for every pokemon he defeat), but doubles the recoil damage and stats drops from his own movements (like Superpower), so don't make it too overpower

Unown Crest (many will hate me for that)- Drastically Boosts Attacks, Hidden Power becomes Explosion and Explosion becomes the type Hidden Power would be(for example Dark-type Hidden Power becomes Dark-type Explosion)

Lanturn Crest(its too weak, let give it a chance)- Gives Volt and Water Absorb at the same time

Delphox Crest- Has a chance of steal opponents held items independent of the move used

Chesnaught Crest- Gives Soundproof if have Bulletproof, boosts speed and halves flying-type moves damage

Noctown Crest-Gives stab to Psychic and Ghost-type moves, Hypnosis never miss, but decreases its accuracy on mornings/days(since owns are normally nocturnal)

Furret Crest-Contact-moves makes foes infatueded independent of gender(don't work with genderless pokemon or with oblivious) and deals double-damage against infatueded foes

Linoone(the Hoenn form)-If knows any HM move boost all its stats in battle and increases the damage of the HM move by 1.5 (i know, rejuv have the golden items, but because of that the HM slaves disappeared and the HM moves are rarely used)

Farfetch' d(Kanto) Crest- Boosts Speed stat and increase blade moves( leaf blade, night slash, slash, cut...) power by 1.5 and makes this moves always crit

Bibarel Crest- Doubles Moody' s stat changes, but moves like Protect will always fail( if will be a blessing or a curse, leave it to luck)

Exploud Crest- Increases sound moves by 1.5, and these moves will hit Ghost-types super effectively (after all, its shown in movies, ghosts dislikes noise)

Persian Crest-multiply the money from battles by 4( after all its a pokemon with gold on the head)

That' s all for now folks

Kartana crest- swaps attack and special attack stats

I have another suggestion maybe not too well thought but it was an interesting one to share atleast. 

Donphan crest : If it uses a spin or ball move it gets +1 speed. If gyro ball is used it does max dmg. If rapid spin Is used the +1 speed is changed to +1 Def and gets the +1  speed from Gen 8 rapid spin
(I thought of this mostly due to how donphan is usually spinning like a ball, and also due to the stadium 2 mini game.)

Miltank: since it fell from glory after the second gen, I thought of 2 options -

1. Leftovers + lowers atk and sp.atk on switch in (better stall)

2. Boosts sp.def and + gives it a weakened Serene Grace, times 1.5 as opposed to times 2 (Whitney stomp/body slam nightmare)

Luxray: Luxray suffers heavily from being frail and slow (so easy to more or less 1hko it), so it definitely needs a speed boost to be usable. Flame orb + boosts speed stat. another option instead of flame orb is to be using atk for sp.atks.

Sylveon: since he suffers from coverage, how about reverse pixilate: Fairy type moves (even those who turned by pixilate) hit as a STAB normal type against fairy, fire and poison types. also maybe slightly boosts his defence stat? not by much, just a bit.

Bellossom: Activates Healing Wish upon fainting. 

Another option is Drought (as the pokedex says)

Another option is priority on dance moves + dancer

Vespiquen: Attack Order deals an extra 30% nuetral damage, and Defence Order heals a small amount of hp. (as in the workers attack in numbers and bring back food)

Lanturn: Uses Flash when taking direct damage.  takes reduced damage when hp is above 66%

Pangoro Crest : Reduces the Sp.Attack of the user to 0 and increases the users speed by the amout of sp.attack reduced.

So, let me just state, that I love mineral type pokemon, especially Rock-Types, so bear with me here.^^ Also, might I suggest, that some crest are optainable or faced before the dessert instead of only in the late-game.

Anyway! I love this game, so I hope I inspire you with these. I haven't read ALL posts, so sorry if something was already mentioned.

Carbink - Doubles the Damage inflicted by Stealthrock if layed by a Carbink. Adds 35% of Sp. Defense to Sp. Attack.
OR Carbink - Automatically activates the effect "Trick Room" for 5 turns upon switch-in. Adds 35% of Sp. Defense to Sp. Attack.
OR Carbink - Gains Ability "Shields Down".
Kabutops - Additionally gives it the Ability "Adaptability".
Lunatone and Solrock - If together on the field: Gain Plus and Minus respectively (or sth. similar with Attack for Solrock^^). When using Psychic type moves, adds 50% of the Attack or Sp. Attack stat (depending on move) of the PARTNER to the Power. (dunno if that is even possible.)
Coalossal - Becomes immune to Water-Type attacks (or at least only normal effective). Also, when hit by an opposing Attack, automatically inflicts "Tar Shot".
Aurorus - Ice-Type moves (inkluding Normal-Type moves that have become Ice-Type) have +1 Priority. Speed increased by 1.3.
Probopass - Sp. Attack increased by 50% of Sp. Def. Automatically uses (or simulates using) the move Gravity after being hit by a Ground-Type move.
Aggron - Gives it the Ability "Rock Head" if Ability is "Sturdy", "Heavy Metal" if "Rock Head" and "Sturdy" if "Heavy Metal".  OR Gives it "Reckless".

Gigalith - Gives it the Ability "Solid Rock". Also, the move "Smack Down" has +2 Priority.
Cradily - Defense and Sp. Defense are increased by 50 % of its combined Attack or Sp. Attack (whichever is higher) and Speed.
Rhyperior - Gives it the Ability "Solid Rock" or increases its value. (With 2x Solid Rock -> 2x super effective = 1x effective. 4x super effective = 2x super effective)
Donphan - Becomes part Steel-Type. Speed equals HP stat OR is increased by 40-50% of HP stat.
Golurk - Moves that take 2 turns only take 1 and have 30% increased Damage (Like Phantom Force and Dig; MAYBE Focus Punch?). Also, Sp. Attack is equal the Attack Stat.
Hippowdon - Gains Abilities "Strong Jaw" and "Early Bird". Also, Speed equals Sp. Defense.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen - Switches Attack and Sp. Attack. Increases Non-Stab moves Base-Power by 1.3 .
Cursola - Becomes part Rock-Type and Switches Speed with Sp. Def, but decreases Sp. Atk by 15.

Gogoat - Becomes part Rock-Type, gains Ability "Rock Head" and Normal-Type moves are turned into Rock-Type moves.

Sorry for my Rock-Type fixation.^^ I just love this type, even if it's screwed in terms of weaknesses.

Thank you for all your hard work and good luck on development.

um okay i can't think anything other than this cuz of my low IQ

Archeops crest - attack and special attack are doubled when hp is half or less than half which negates its ability defeatist.

Delcatty!

Deserves one so much ;-;

 

Attack and Defense each get x1.25 and any normalized attack (Delcatty w/ Normalize) does neutral damage on targets that normally have resistance against Normal type attacks

 

(My apologies if they already have a crest in-game and I just don't remember. I looked up crests in the wiki guide and didn't see a Delcatty crest.)

I'd add Scrappy effect to this crest imo

Corsula Knife - Raises Atk and Acc by x 1.3

Samurott Crest - Raises Speed by x 1.4 and boosts the power of cutting and Slashing moves by x 1.3

Emboar Crest - Reduces recoil by 20% and contact moves heal 1/6 of the damage

Serperior Crest - Contact moves increased by 1.3 and activates growth at all times

Noctowl Crest - Sp Atk is calculated using Sp Def 

Omanyte Crest - Literally invincible

Ghost resists Normal completely, so the Scrappy is already implied.

Simisage Crest: Applies Grassy Terrain when hit by a damaging move/Adds fighting type stab and weaknesses

Yanmega Crest - Special Defense 1.3x or Special Defense increase per turn (like speed boost), Rock type moves 1.5x or 2x in power, increase chance of additional effects (ie. ancient power stat boost)
This would emphasize Yanma's requirement to know Ancient Power in order to evolve and would play on the "Ancient Power" of the Crest's and the move itself

I think that a very interesting crest could be one for volcarona. Two ideas could work that would make it a very interesting crest. The first idea is to make it immue to hazard items, clearing them upon entry, while also setting up sunny day. Another idea could be to give it chlorophyll. 

Vivillon- super effective damage is halved

Gyarados: Swap Attack and Special Attack 

Emboar: Immunity to recoil damage

Aurorus: Swap type weakness and resistance 

Shedinja: GIves Magic Guard

Dugtrio: Contact moves hit 3 times with 33% power (maybe even 50%, but 33% makes more sense)

Vaporeon: gets automatically aqua ring on entry (can be batton passed) + set up rain for 1-3 turns (so only vaporeon itself can use it)

Jolteon: sets electric terrain for 1-3 turns on entry (for its usage only) + gets the effect of the metronom item

Flareon: gets fluffly ability. This makes it a good fire tank with good attack stat

Kabutops: gets STAB on bug type moves (it´s practically a bug and it can deal with grass types now)

Omastar: should get one, but I dunno...

Vileplume: neutralizing gas ability

Bellossom: Dancer ability + boost the attack of dance moves by 50% and the effectiviness of such status moves is doubled (like quiver dance boosts stats by +2)

Swellow: burn it + let it burn enemies hit by contact moves (50% chance)

Masquerain: levitate + water stab

Slaking: recovers some health (25%???) while resting (sleep + its ability)

Mawile: Huge power (see Sableye)

Solrock: STAB on fire moves (it´s a sun!!!) + fire moves do 0 dmg against it

Swanna: Flying/Water moves are super effective against flying type (because the ugly duckling wants to repay what other ducks have done to him in its youth)

Emolga: +1 Speed if hit by flying type attack or if it/teammate attacks with flying type (because it can fly fast if using air currents) 

Pyroar M: intimidate
Pyroar F: cute charm

Hawlucha: flying press actually is flying OR fighting type (automatically chosen on whats more effectively) + all moves deal 25% more dmg + 25% recoil. It´s a wrestler! It jumps around and damage itself too!

Ditto: gives it +1  speed boost

flygon crest: merge Attack  and Special Attack and  change the  ability  to thick fat

Last crests ideas I have:
 

Noctowl Crest: Sheer Force and additional Psychic STAB

So I thought of some more...

Ninjask - Using the electro ball formula, reduce damage received based on speed difference, Maybe something like minimum 20%, maximum 50%. 

Accelgor - Using the electro ball formula, increase base evasion chance based on speed difference. Maybe minimum 5%, maximum 12%.  

Electrode - Uses type-less special explosion upon fainting. Plus 1.2x special attack increase. 

Minun - Baton passes its stat increases upon fainting. 

Plusle - Applies plus/minus effect to both Plusle and allies highest attacking stat and lowest defending stat (both if equal).

Swalot - Physical contact applies poison type rocky helmet damage and restores some HP.

• Noivern Crest: I think it's been suggested, but sound based moves deal x1.5 damage, and the holder becomes soundproof

 

Agreed. He's based on sound but no ability for it...

Although instead of soundproof maybe add some dark themed boost, like dark moves times 1.5 or something. I'm saying this because the Pokedex keeps saying how good and powefull it is in the dark.

I'll try!

Quagsire Crest: Increases its bulk, and gives it Simple.

Flygon Crest: Applies Sandstorm by entering battle, giving it a x1.5 bonus in evasion

Bronzong Crest: Multiplies x1.3 the power of sound moves; applies the Ability Regenerator.

Spinda Crest: Hitting Spinda with physical moves or being hit by its physical moves results in confusion

Golurk Crest: Exchanges Atk. for Def. and Sp. Atk. for Sp. Def. Landing any special moves on it triggers a 1/16 damage from it (Rough Skin with special moves instead of physical)

Shiftry Crest: Leaf-based attacks powered up by 30% and ignores downsides. Gives it immunity/resistance to Bug-type moves.

Vanilluxe crest: 

-one possible idea is because its got kind of the two head thing going on is that it's ice type moves have a higher chance of freezing the target while hail is up. I don't know if doubling it would be enough or raising it by a flat amount, so like either shifting ice beam and blizzard (and other ice moves) to 20% to freeze or giving them a flat boost of like 20/30% to 30/40%. Because that may or may not be enough there could also be an increase in vanilluxe's special moves damage against frozen targets by like 1.2 or something. I like this idea because I feel like the frozen status effect is something that is underutilized -especially in comparison to burn sleep paralyze and poison- and it would give vaniluxe a unique niche as a support or status inflictor that ice types don't really have.

-another possible idea is giving the player the option to mix and match two of its three abilities giving it multiple different playstyle options. having weak armor and ice body for example gives it a healing option after taking damage to get faster. I figure this could be kind of a nightmare to program so it may not be viable.

-I'd also second @Balthazar_Fang's idea about having an ice solar power of giving a 1.25 boost to special attack in hail in exchange for 1/8th or 1/16th hp.

Frosmoth crest: Since it has an ability to alleviate some of its defensive troubles already I would also give it a moxie like ability but for speed, or just giving it speed boost as an ability option to give it more viability in its speed tier.

Froslass crest: outside of other ice type form switchers (eiscue and G. darmanitan), weavile, and slush rushers (beartic and A. sandslash) froslass is one of the fastest ice types but that is all it has going for it. in response I would either:

-reinforce that playstyle by giving it a modifier that if it goes first its special type moves are given a damage boost 1.25/1.5 in power allowing it to hit harder.

-buff its role as an evasion mon by again saying that if it is the faster Pokémon maybe it has an extra evasion stage giving it more synergy with snow cloak, while still giving it counters in things that are either really fast or are hyper accurate/can't miss.

Basculin Crest, when it comes out it gets the boosts and negatives of shell smash

Chimecho, Speed is based off special attack and psychic hits dark types.

Dunsparce, Attack and Speed is based off Hp.

Vikavolt crest: Vikavolt atk is swaped with vikavolt SP attack

Flygon crest: Bug moves are now stab, and double damage on not very effective moves (basically tinted lens)

Archeops crest: Replace Defeatist with Rock Head

Intelleon Crest: All moves deal damage based on the targets lower defense (moves will calculate damage off defense if defense is lower than special defense and vice versa)

Spinda: gains the Simple ability

Exploud Crest: All moves hit for neutral damage

Alolan Raichu: Gains water Stab and gain swift swim ability

(Just for fun)

Regigas Crest: Slow Start takes 2 less turns and gain the Sheer Force ability

Walrein Crest: Rain boosts attack and defense stat by 1.5, Hail boosts special attack and special defense stat by 1.5.

Treavenant Crest: Confers resistance to ghost-type attacks and raises attack stat one stage when hit by one.

Kecleon Crest: Being hit by an attack confers resistance to subsequent attacks of that elemental type. Additionally grants +25% defense.

Butterfree Crest: Missing an attack raises accuracy stat two stages, and special attack stat by one stage. 

Beedrill Crest: Doubles damage dealt and halves damage taken against poisoned foes.

Maractus Crest: Sun boosts attack, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed by one stage at the end of every turn.

Delcatty Crest: Doubles damage dealt and halves damage taken against infatuated foes, and grants effects of Scrappy ability. Allows Cute Charm and Attract to work on all pokemon, regardless of sex.

Arbok Crest: Contact moves apply effects of Wrap. Additionally grants +25% defense and special defense.

Drapion Crest - Increased base Attack to 105, gives Sheer Force and a 1.25 boost to its Ground moves. after all, a lot of its dex entries state how strong it is and some say how it doesn't even need to use its poison, and its a desert dwelling pokemon for the most part.

Scolipede Crest - Increases Defense to 109 and HP to 90, but lowers Speed to 92 and makes rolling/spinning/ball moves (like Steamroller, Rollout, Gyro Ball, etc) Stronger, and gain priority(the latter in the style of gale wings). whirlipede went brrrr, and scolipede can go brrrrr, so now it can go brrrrrr.

Coalossal Crest - Getting hit by any Fire Move gives an additional + 2 Attack, while getting hit by a Water Move gives a +2 Special Attack. Weakens Water moves against it by 25%. goes well with Steam Engine, but can also be useful without it.

Crabominable Crest - Increases HP to 102, Defense to 97 and SpDef to 87, and gives it Thick Fat. boy he do be fat, but his stats are not fat, and nor is his ability.

Sandaconda Crest - During a Sandstorm, a random stat(except for Acc or Evasion) is raised by 1. thought about this for less than a minute and it just sounded funny to me.

Stonjourner Crest - The Power of its moves increases when there are more Rock Types other than itself on its team. (20% for each, so it be plus 100% on a mono Rock team)

and then some more meh ones, that are mostly just stat swaps.

Skuntank Crest - Swaps Attack and Special Attack, gains Fire Type version of Steelworker.

Kommo-o Crest - Swaps Attack and Special Attack, and increases the power of Sound-Based Moves like Punk Rock.

Flapple Crest - Swaps its Speed and Special Attack, and gains Weak Armor on top of its normal ability.

Grimmsnarl Crest - Swaps its Defense and Special Attack, and gains Tangling Hair on top of its normal ability.

Hatterene Crest - Swaps its Attack and HP, and gains Berserk on top of its normal ability.

well, I tried to scratch together the ideas I had some time ago, hope you'll find them useful

 

Magneton Crest  -  gets Levitate + Battery (effect applies to itself as well)           (and yes, I mean Magneton, not its unsightly evolution)

Gothitelle Crest  -  uses the opponent's lower defensive stat for damage calculation

Kricketune Crest  -  Metronome-like damage boost if a move is repeatedly used, also speed x 1.5

Golisopod Crest  -  Emergency Exit is replaced by Mold Breaker

Cacturne Crest  -  Sand Stream ability + 30% damage boost during sandstorm

Sunflora Crest  -  sets sun on switch in, heals 1/8 during sun

Dunsparce Crest  -  Gets Simple

Luxray Crest  -  1.2x speed and gets Galvanize

Comfey Crest  -  reduces damage taken on your side (Friend Guard, affects holder too), and after fainting applies Healing Wish to the pokemon sent in afterwards

wanted to add some stuff since some concepts felt a little underwhelming

Gothitelle Crest  -  always uses opponent's lower defensive stat for damage calculation, and uses Gothitelle's SpDef stat as SpAtt stat

Dunsparce Crest  -  Gets Simple and Unaware     (because only Simple was basically the same as Empoleon's crest)

and add some new ideas:

Mr. Mime Crest  -  Screens last 10 turns, and have additional effects

                              Reflect: reflects 1/8 of damage received to opponent.   Light Screen: heals own team's side by 1/16 total HP each round

                              (since Mr Rime will be a thing, Mr Mime surely needs a crest to make up for not having an evolution)

Froslass Crest  -  Def and SpDef scale with Speed, raise damage against pokemon affected by status conditions by 1.3x

                            Froslass has an amazing repertoire of status moves, but is too frail to make much use of them, so this crest would turn Froslass into a great

                            supporter/tank - the resulting bulk would be similar to e.g. Ferrothorn or Toxapex, but those two still have better typing and a free item slot, so a

                            second crest effect is necessary to make up for that.

                            (Also, since Glalie has a very offensive mega, it would be a nice way to balance that out.)

Klefki Crest  -  The opponent's held item loses its effect when facing Klefki  (like permanent Magic Room for the mon opposite of Klefki; affecting both opponent's

                        mons would probably be too strong),  and Light Clay and Amplifield Rock effects are included as well.   (as it knows both Screen moves and several

                        moves that are affected by Amplifield Rock)

Avalugg Crest  -  Damage from special moves is reduced by 50% (Ice Scales ability), varying-power moves always do max damage (Avalanche, Gyro Ball, Heavy Slam

                            and Stomping Tantrum in this case)

Starmie Crest  -  Summon Gravity on switch in, damage-boost proportional to Starmie's health (around 30-50% boost at 100% health)

Spinda Crest  -  All pokemon on the field (including Spinda) get one random stat lowered by one stage at the end of each round. (combo with Contrary)

                          Additionally, the opposing pokemon's ability is disabled.

Castform deserves some love!!!

Give it a 50% increase in Speed and Sp. Attack and the ability to change form and type (Protein Variant) when using a fire/water/ ice move. It will finally have usage with these buffs.

HAIL YEAH!

Imma also add another crest cuz I wanna
 

Garchomp Crest: Increases Atk and Spe by 1.5x, but locks it into using one move. Dragon Rush switches the user out.

                            OR

                            Swaps SpAtk and Atk (if attack stat is maxed, it will transfer over to SpAtk and vice-versa); increases speed in the                              sand if holder has sand veil instead of evasiveness.

Garchomp (Choice-locked effect)

Ability: Sand Veil/Rough Skin

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDef

Adamant/Jolly Nature

- Dragon Rush

- Earthquake

- Stone Edge

- Fire Fang

OR

Garchomp (Offense-swap effect)

Ability: Sand Veil

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDef

Modest/Timid Nature

- Draco Meteor

- Earth Power

- Fire Blast

- Sandstorm/Stealth Rock

Garchomp is another one of my favorite pokemon, and I wanted him to be broken. I like my second idea the most cuz it utilizes Garchomp's special move pool and sandstorm if he wants; T-tar is gonna be great for that set. The first one I like to cuz it turns Garchomp into an extremely offensive pivot that can dish out a lot of damage; at least it doesn't have priority.

Unfortunately, spiritomb already have a Crest (noted in-universe to have been especially taxing to make due to the species' nature), though it's a pretty special one for another reason. It's actually one of the few Crest designs that were submitted last time an opportunity like this arose to actually make it into the game! Credit goes to a fellow by the name of Solniste, whose original concept can be found here.

My mistake; I completely forgot that Spiritomb already has a crest when coming up with my idea . Anyway, I came up with a couple other suggestions that I think will be suitable crests. If I do repeat an idea that's already been mentioned here, than I apologise.

Aurorus Crest: When it enters the field, it automatically sets up Hail and Aurora Veil.

Tyrantrum Crest: When it uses a move that's powered up by Strong Jaw, recovers HP equal to 1/6 of the damage dealt.

Masquerain Crest: Grants an immunity to Rock Type moves, including damage from Stealth Rock.

Purugly Crest: When it enters the field, the opponents Attack OR Special Attack is lowered by one stage, depending on which stat is higher.

Floatzel Crest: Protects it from Grass type moves and boosts its Attack by one stage (much like Sap Sipper)

Ghost resists Normal completely, so the Scrappy is already implied.

 But you cannot hit a Ghost type with Normal type move, can you?

Spinda Crest  -  All pokemon on the field (including Spinda) get one random stat lowered by one stage at the end of each round. (combo with Contrary)

 

                          Additionally, the opposing pokemon's ability is disabled.

I'd say you could probably add a all-around stat boost for Spinda too, like a universal x1.33 or something - the poor mon needs it.

Anyways! I took all my previous posts, organized them, added some new ideas, upgraded the old ones... well, here you go, anyways. (Jan, you and your team will probably hate me after this... if it helps, only Tauros, Poliwrath, Rapidash, the Sandslashes, Politoed, Gastrodon, Drapion, Sawsbuck, Cinccino, Vanillluxe, Lilligant, Aromatisse, and Togedemaru were added directly in this post. Everyone else is just the same as before, more or less.)

Generation 1:
 

Generation 2:

Generation 3:

Generation 4:

Generation 5:

Generation 6:

Generation 7:

Generation 8:

Noctowl Crest: Psychic type moves are STAB and all foes on the field get identified.

Tropius Crest: Changes ability to Thick Fat and raises Sp. Attack by 1.5x. Also roost Heals 75%

Electrode Crest: Self sacrificing moves like Explosion will deal 1/8th damage to all Pokemon on the Foe's Team.

Kantonian Exeggutor Crest: All Powder moves and Leech Seed have 100% Accuracy but, Because of being                                                          focused on Non-Damage dealing moves Sp.Atk becomes 0.66x.

Primeape Crest: Boosts crit ratio of every pokemon on the field (trying to make use of its Anger Point ability)

Gothitelle Crest: Increases base evasion by 20% (can predict moves using psychic powers) and future sight can now hit randomly between 1-3 turns.

Reuniclus Crest: Activates Trick Room upon entry (tribute to Mega Reuniclus from Pokemon Insurgence)

Sunflora Crest: Maxes speed in sunlight and gains a new ability in Solar Power

Pachirisu Crest: Gains an extra ability which is Prankster

Bibarel Crest: Moody now boosts a stat by 3 stages and lowers another by 1. HM moves used by this Bibarel are 30% stronger

Slaking Crest: Is now truant for only 1 in every 5 turns, guaranteed on the first turn, but its accuracy decreases by 10% and is twice as likely to flinch (it's still tired).

Mudsdale Crest: Stamina now boosts Defense for taking a physical attack and Special Defense for taking a special attack. Half as likely to flinch. 

Drapion Crest: Gets priority on any dark type move and gets STAB for attacking bug moves.

Darkrai Crest: Gains STAB and immunities but not the weaknesses of the ghost typing. (would still resist dark and ghost attacks)

Cresselia Crest: Gives priority to healing moves. Doubles HP stat in a double battle only to give 1/8 of its health to an ally each turn.

Diancie Crest: Gets an added ability in Serene Grace as well as a chance to drop accuracy when using a fairy type attack.

Mew Crest: Gets STAB on every attack and takes normal damage from every typing. (Genetically linked to every single pokemon)

Mewtwo Crest: Supereffective damage is now 3x and 6x (for double supereffectivity like rock vs fire/flying) (because it is extremely savage).

nah, it's good as is in my opinion. The idea is to turn Spinda into a buffer/debuffer mainly, not an attacker. Buffing a Contrary partner can be really strong.

And the stat decreases put pressure on the AI, since it often switches out mons when too many stats were decreased. This can make it hard for the AI to build momentum. So Spinda kinda needs to keep its low stats to still be killable by mons with stat decreases, for fairness' sake. And there's still many ways to help keep it alive,  like defensive EV investment, or moves like Fake Out, Follow Me, etc...

And the ability disabling is another nice way of debuffing, especially when their strategy relies on their ability.

Electrode Crest: Self sacrificing moves like Explosion will deal 1/8th damage to all Pokemon on the Foe's Team.

this reminds me so much of the trading card game mechanics where explosion moves damage mons on the bench, pretty interesting idea

Grovyle crest: doubles the power of leaf blade, quick attack, dig, absorb, mega drain and giga drain

Golurk Crest: +1.5 increase in physical attack, defense, special defense. sets up arenite wall even without a sandstorm. +2 priority for shadow punch.

Toxtricity Crest: swaps physical attack and speed. +2 speed. sets up electric terrain upon entry.

Volcarona Crest: gains drought as an additional ability and melts any field hazards.

Noivern Crest: gains aerilate as an additional ability. +2 special attack

Greninja Crest: water shuriken hits 5 times and gets a +1 evasion increase upon entry (so basically a free double team)

can we have a crest for gliscore or talonflame they aare some of my favourite pokemon

Armaldo: Speed scales with Attack but resistances become weaknesses

Luxray: Adds a secondary Dark typing (idk if this is possible lol)

Electivire: Gives Iron Fist effect but lowers speed by 10

Magmortar: Beam moves get 1.3x increase and gets Drought ability

Currently working on a list with every crest suggestion. It will be done eventually. Hopefully soon.
 

ill update this post whenever I get one generation done 

corviknight crest : gains the ability intimidate and an immunity to dragon and fire type moves (because it strikes fear in people's hearth according to the pokedex and the latter part because he is named after a knight, and knights are supposed to defeat dragons.)

Altaria crest:, gains a fluffy kind of shield, which reduces the damage of pokemon  by 50% for the first five turns and it gains the fairy type.

scolipede: gains the abillity of the move rage. ( if that's too broken it only increases its attack if it hits a pokemon and doesn't actually ko it, then it gets increasingly more pissed. ( pokedex also says scolipede is an agressive pokemon and it will not give up untill the enemy is destroyed))

that's all i can think of

Chesnaught Crest: Permanent rocky helmet effect, resistance to flying

Stonjourner Crest: Creates sandstorm on entry, special defense boosted an additional one stage

Eiscue Crest: Creates hail on entry, evasion boosted by one stage during hail.

Grapploct Crest: Unsure, but i feel like they probably deserve one. Maybe gets swift swim.

Stoutland Crest: Normal-Type moves will deal super-effective damage against types that would normally resist Normal-Type (Excluding Ghost)
 

Drifblim Crest: +15% SATK/SPD. At the start of battle, Pokemon will be burned. In addition, this Pokemon is unaffected by Burn damage and boosts SPD by 50%

Delcatty Crest: Normal-type moves always deal neutral damage and deals 25% more damage

Archeops Crest: Pokemon can survive up to 2 attacks that would KO this Pokemon.

Or...

Archeops Crest: If Pokemon is defeated, harshly lowers the enemy's ATK/SATK and cannot escape for 3 turns.

Porygon-Z Crest: +20% SPD. Non-Same Type moves gain STAB while Same-Type moves do not get STAB. If applicable, Adaptability will instead boost Non-Stab moves

Oh my god I finished it. This took way to fricking long.
 

Here is a list of every crest submitted for gen 1 Pokemon in order of Pokédex number

if anyone wants to help pleas start with gen 8 and work backwards. I had 3 tests today and I’m very tired so I’m going to go chill out and play the dlc

goodbye.

Talonflame crest: boosts speed and atk by 2 stages for all ally pokemon

Gliscore crest: makes the ally pokemon immune to poison.

Some gen6 pokeman that needed a buff (aside from the frog) that i didnt add in my last post

Chesnaught crest: Prankster + Heatproof effect
Delphox crest: Miracle eye is always active, speed is boosted by 1.5x
Greninja crest: Attacking stats and defense stats are swicthed
Pyroar crest: Adaptability + Expert Belt effect or Moxie boosts special attack
Floette / Florges crest: Rock Head (cuz Light of Ruin) or defense scales off from special defense
Gogoat crest: Big Root effect + grass moves do additional rock damage
Pangoro crest: Unseen Fist effect or Tough Claws effect
Avalugg crest: Filter + special defense scales off from hp

Octillery Crest: 1.3x attack and special attack and the first “bullet” move (moves blocked by bulletproof) used in a battle has +1 priority 
 

Maractus Crest: 1.5x defense and moves that make contact with this Pokémon damage the user by 1/8th of their hp

Kecleon Crest: This pokemon is “invisible” (cannot be hit) during the first turn it enters battle once per battle.

Beautifly - Reduces rock and fire damage by 50% 

Here's is an idea for a primarina crest:

Sound based moves(including perish song) gain the ability to trap the opponent (like mean look):

This is based on primarina's concept: the Siren. Siren's where known to lure sailors with their enchanting music.

This would be a great enhancement for perish trap sets.

Primarina is mostly seen with offensive choice specs sets or defensive leftovers sets, so this would add some variety to it.

nope 
 

1 hour ago, Lowie said:

nope 
 

Yeah... that might be a bit broken.

If Jan and the Team actually take my suggested idea and decide to put it in the game, they might want to exclude perish song from that List to balance it out.

If I were to add a few crest, here are the ones I would add:

Luxray crest: Adds a Dark type to Luxray, boosts its STABed attacks by 10%.

Toxapex crest: Swaps its attacks with its defenses (Only a "stat change", yes, but it could change the pokemon's gameplay).

Heracross crest: adds the flying type to Heracross.

Sandslash crest: when Sandslash enters the battlefield, summon a sanstorm for 5 turns.

Grumpig crest: adds the abilty Simple to Grumpig (on top of its other ability).

Delcatty crest: Delcatty's attacks all hit as "normal effectiveness" (Not "super effective", not "not very effective"), even on pokemon immune to it (as well as shedinja).

Delhmise crest: +20 Def ; +30 Sp.def ; -50 Atk ; Adds the steel type to Delhmise.

Starmie crest: All of Starmie's attacks use its Sp.Atk and hit on the enemy's Def stat (like Psyshock) (Only relevant if flip turn gets added in the next update, I haven't followed enough to see if it will).

Tropius crest: Under sunshine, increase the effects of Solar Power (2x Sp.Atk,  but takes away 1/6 of its health insead of 1/8).

Dunsparce crest cause this pokemon really sucks: Dunsparce becomes Flying/Ground, adds 10 to all of its base stats except speed, adds 40 in speed. Everytime Dunsparce uses the same attack in a row, its power is multiplied by 1.25 (a la metronome).

Electivire crest: Magmortar's Sp.Atk is multiplied by 2 if both pokemon are on the field. Magmortar resists Electric-type moves.
Magmortar Crest: Electivire's Atk is multiplied by 2 if both pokemon are on the field. Electivire resists Fire-type moves.

Zangoose crest: Seviper's Speed and Sp.Atk are multiplied by 1.5, but Zangoose loses 1/8 of its HP at the end of each turn. If Seviper is KOed, the effects end, then Zangoose's Atk is multiplied by 1.5 until KOed or switched out.
Seviper crest: Zangoose's Speed and Atk are multiplied by 1.5, but Seviper loses 1/8 of its HP at the end of each turn. If Zangoose is KOed, the effects end, then Seviper's Sp. Atk is multiplied by 1.5 until KOed or switched out.

Unown crest: Randomize Unown's base stats before each fight, between 1 and 150 for every stat. Unown's hidden power now makes it use a random move (like metronome) instead of its normal effect.
 

Lets see.

Dusknoir - Punching moves have +1 priority, and have their on hit effect doubled.
Primeape - Crits deal less damage to Primeape, like half or a quarter less damage ig? This should work well with the Anger Point ability, and it makes sense due to its "never give up" resillient nature.

Lycanroc Midnight:

- doubles physical defense (so like Fur Coat) and recovers 1/3 or 1/2 of the damage it dealt to the opposing Pokémon. I can provide the code if you want since I've already tried it out on my own run to see how viable Lycanroc Midnight would be

- reason: according to the Pokédex, it doesn't mind taking hits, so boosting its physical defense makes sense, in my eyes. Moreover, recovering its hp through attacking and the wolf theme can be easily associated with Blood Lust, which also fits Lycanroc Midnight

Gourgeist:

- is immune to Fire and recovers HP when hit by a Fire move, so like Water Absorb

- reason: Ghost/Grass is not a bad defensive type, and if you add fire immunity, Gourgeist would be quite obnoxious to deal with. It'd fit very well in a mono Grass team as Grass doesn't have a reliable way to take Fire hits, especially if they're boosted by Sun

Golisopod:

- Changes its ability so that it would work like this: At the end of your turn, you get to decide if you want to switch out Golisopod or not

- reason: it's not a drastic change since Golisopod has good stats (comparable to Mega Scizor on the bulky side!) and is only hindered by its ability. With this change, it would benefit very well from First Impression

- if that's not enough to make Golisopod viable, maybe, add an Intimiate effect on top of this change?

Mr. Rhime:

- inverts its own weaknesses and resistances, which is needed on mono Ice as it resists key types like Fire, Rock, Steel, and is only weak to Ice and Psychic. Also, Ice/Psychic is probably the best defensive type for an Ice Pkm if it had such an ability

Umbreon:

- originally meant for Spiritomb but since it already has a Crest, I thought, it should work well with Umbreon: When it gets attacked, it applies Torment effect on the Pkm that attacked it. Furthermore, the Pkm will loose 1/8 of its HP every turn so long as it is tormented

- reason: emphasizes the defensive nature of a Pkm and works well with Protect and Wish/Moonlight and Toxic. Makes it really obnoxious to deal with

- also, I've already created the code for this. So, if you want, I can provide it.

Vikavolt:

- either you double its speed or you make it so that moves that only have a power of 60 or less will be priority

- personally, I prefer the second option to make it different from Galvantula

Magmortar:

- Tinted Lens effect

Electivire:

- Galvanize + moves like Giga Impact don't need to charge

Vespiquen:

- boosts attack (and, maybe, defense) for each of your dead Pkm. By how much is up to you.

Shiftry:

- upon entry, it will automatically provide Tailwind. Only works once to not make it too broken?

Regieleki : Allows the user to hit any Ground type Pokémon neutrally with Electric moves.

Regidrago : Allows the user to hit any Fairy type Pokémon neutrally with Dragon moves.

Unown
1,5 x Speed & Special Attack and make hidden power have a 50 % too be super effective against the opponent

 

Maybe make hidden power always do psychic damage on top of whatever type hidden power for permanent stab

Chesnaught crest: Gains the ability filter, to help reduce damage from super effective moves; given how it has 6 weaknesses. This would allow it to tank those type of moves better. 

Delphox crest: Increases the odds of secondary effects of actually happening (like burn or special defence drop for example) by 10%~20% roughly. Delphox can learn moves like flamethrower, Psychic and Shadow ball for example. Getting increased odds of dropping sp.def and burning opponents sounds like a good plan. 

Greninja crest: Boost stab moves from the usual 1.5 multiplier to a 1.75 or 2.0 multiplier. This will allow Geninja to hit harder and with the ability protean, this crest will be extremely useful. 

I think there should be a crest for the rest of Eeveelutions, because they are the best Pokémons and we all know that.

But for real, they are good, but there is always a problem with them. So, for that, I have suggestions for each of them!

Flareon - Guts abillity is always active. Also, attacks with recoil damage no longer cause damage to Flareon.

Vaporeon - When raining, it receives 1/8th of it's life each turn, and a small boost to its Defense and Sp. Defense (so that we can use its Hydration abillity more!). OR It causes to rain when it enters the battle (just like drizzle) and has a boost do its Defense and Sp. Defense

Jolteon - I think this user had a really good idea for Jolteon's crest! Here it is:

On 10/16/2020 at 8:18 PM, Moto said:

Jolteon does more damage the faster it is than the opponent. Maxes out at 1.5x damage when you are 1.5x faster than the opponent. 

I think it could give Jolteon also a small boost to its Speed, just to make up for his lack of good abillities.

Espeon: Dark type attacks no longer damages it, instead it boosts its Sp. Attack. Also, activate Prankster on Espeon.

Umbreon: Status conditions have the opposite effect on Umbreon, for example, being burnt would make Umbreon gain HP each turn, and have a boost to its Attack. For Sleep and Confusion conditions, I would suggest that Umbreon should always attack, without failling (since it doesn't know any OHKO moves, I think it shouldn't be a problem).

Sylveon: The opposing Pokémon can fall in love with it each time it contacts with Sylveon, even if they are the same gender. Also, it applies a boost to its Sp. Defense. It changes the field to a Misty Terrain.

Also, here are some ideas for another Pokémon:

Noivern: Sound-based moves have STAB, and have the chance of causing confusion on the enemy.

Primarina: Sound-based moves are more Powerfull, and cure the user of any status condition. In double battles, its sound-based attacks don't damage the partner, instead, they boost, randomly, one of their stats.

Incineroar: Boost its Attack, and each time one of its stats is lowered, or the enemy raises its stats (in battle), Incineroar receives a boost to its Attack or Speed.

Decidueye: Its flying type attack moves have STAB, and has a boost to its Speed.

Magneton: It applies Levitate and Electric Surge to Magneton.

Furfrou: Depending on its hairstyle, he has an adittional type (for example, Heart Trim would make him Normal/Fairy, Diamond Trim would make him Rock/Normal, and so on). He could also have a signature move, that its type changes depending on Furfrou's haircut. If it has the normal haircut, his normal attacks cause more damage.

I hope my ideas are good enough, and that some could be implemented! Thank you for the opportunity!

Very dumb idea, but it's all I got in my head.

Delibird Crest: Forces Present to heal Partner Pokemon in double battles if used on them. May also restore used held items (i.e. berries).

All I got, really. It's dumb, but hey, better then nothing and not exactly overpowered.

These are some ideas for a Snorlax crest, which I think thematically fits. All of them together are OP, so please choose only a few :3

Gives Snorlax the ability comatose.

- This lets it spam facade, as well as avoid status moves. I think someone else suggested it as well.

If sleep talk chooses rest, then the HP goes back to full.

- Might be too op. Throwback to gen 2.

Gives Snorlax the effect of the ability harvest.

- GMax Replenish

Moves that seem like it would hit harder with users weight gets powered up.

- eg Body Slam, Heavy Slam, Bulldoze, EQ, High Horsepower, Stomping Tantrum, Steel Roller, Take Down etc

All physical moves have a chance to paralyze the opponent

- EVERYTHING is body slam

Defense Curl increses defense by 2 stages.

Gives some buff to belly drum

- Takes only 1/4 HP, works like Z-belly drum, gives an omniboost etc.

[If anyone else wants to add to the list, please feel free to copy-paste.]

I’ve always thought Toucannon was a really neat Pokémon, but it’s never seemed to live up to its inspiration in terms of how it battles. Beak Blast is a cool idea but it’s super one-note to have Toucannon‘s gimmick rely on a single pretty mediocre physical move. 
 

In order to more closely align with the cannon that the bird gets its name from, I thought the crest should increase Toucannon’s fairly weak special attack by 50%. It would also gain the ability Boom Bird, which makes special normal, flying and fire type attacks never miss, but causes recoil.

My second suggestion is a crest for Tapu Bulu that effectively makes any move Bulu uses Play Rough. Justice for Bulu.

Fairy types are absolutely adorable :3 

Ribombee Crest: Pollen puff heals allies 66% instead of 50%,  and 1.1x buff to special attack?

Comfey Crest: Signature move floral healing, heals 55%(On grass field 70%) can also heal status effects, Comfey's draining kiss has a 40% chance to infatuate the target.

Milotic Crest: Ability changes to water bubble, halves fire type move power and doubles the power of water type moves, Special defense and speed stat swap. (To be honest I think this one is a bit broken...)

Cryogonal Crest: Ability changes to Snow Warning, Special defense and special attack swap.

ok so here goes

Gardevoir: give the ability of his mega.

Greninja: give adaptability

Scizor: Priority move have 1.2x damage boost

Volcarona: give the ability simple.

Golisopod: doens't witdraw when half HP.

Decidueye: Swaps Sp.attack for speed.

Rampardos: its def and sp.def is equal to halve is attack but lost HP every turn.

Breloom: Swaps its weakness.

Not sure how many are these are already done, but here are some crests that i would like to see (mainly weaker mons that don't get played otherwise). Keep in mind that many of these may be either very over/undertuned:

-Arbok: give it dark typing and strong jaw

-Avalugg: spdef scales with def

-Basculin: weird one, but give it fell stinger but as an ability (+3 atk if it ko's) [its a piranha or something idk] and 1.5x speed

- Beartic:  a combination of snow warning and slush rush, with 1.2x atk

-bellossom: a chlorophyll bellossom holding this also gets drought and a fire immunity

-bibarel: simple bibarel holding it can't have its stats lowered, also stat increases are increased by an extra stage

-cacturne: has spiky shield on switch in and 1.2x atk

-carbink: it gets diancie's stats 

-chatot: using the same sound move consecutively increases the damage by 1.2x, also its speed is increased by 1.5x. Also soundproof

-chimeco: your team is immune to sleep status, and its def, spdef and spatk go up by 1.5x

-crustle: gains a shell smash on switch in and its spdef scales with its def

-electrode: self-destruct moves gain electric typing and for one time during the battle only, they don't actually knock out the user

-floatzel: all moves get priority in rain, and its atk is increased by 1.2x

-kecleon: he puts you in jail for theft. Also, if using a damaging move protean changes kecleon (and the move) to a random supper effective type (or neutral if not applicable)

-purugly: atk scales with speed and its def is doubled (i mean its a fat cat)

-shiinotic: double damage against sleeping enemies, gets natural cure, and all stats other than atk and speed go up by 1.5x

-ditto: if applicable, transforms into mega form of opposing pokemon with impostor/transform, even if they aren't mega themselves. If it has no mega but a crest instead, then it transforms into that. For pokemon with multiple megas/crest forms, the choice is done at random 

-lurantis: any stat increases increase all other stats by the same amount

-drampa: berserk triggers off of any damage, also gives its moves priority for the next turn after its activated

-sudowoodo: gets an ability like sap sipper that works for water moves too AND disguise, and atk up by 1.5x (this is probably too much tbh but eh)

-greedent: consuming a berry increases atk, def and spef by one stage each, and gets its berries back 2 turns after usage

This is all for now. Crests are great and should be in the main series games

Swampert Crest: Boosts water and ground type moves and applies aqua ring for 3 turns upon entry.

Heracross Crest: if the ability is swarm Boosts its attack at half health instead of 1/3.

If the ability is guts if burned raise attack by 100% instead of 50% and if poison, heal from it ever other turn.

If ability is moxie raise both attack and special attack stat by 1 upon entry. and boosts bug type moves regardless of ability.

Parasect Crest: Apply sleep to enemy for 1 turn upon entry and boost grass and bug moves.

Swoobat Crest: Apply Mind Reader upon entry and boost psychic types moves.

Lycanroc Crest: Apply stealth rock up entry and boost rock type moves.

(Hope you like them.)

Swoobat Crest: Gives special moves a chance to inflict attract, increase speed Stat

Leavanny: increases power of blade and cutter moves, increase defense stat

Aromatisse crest: Fuses def and speed

Dodrio crest: boosts speed by 1.1 and gives plus one speed on field entry

Gothitelle crest: calm minds on entry

Talonflame crest: Gives old gale wings and takes no recoil from brave bird/Flare blitz

Mawile crest: boosts sdef by 1.5

Whimsicott crest: makes prankster work on dark types and gives boosted speed

Gallade Crest: Lands crits everytime a special attack is used, increases base special attack, gives ability mega launcher. (a special Gallade)
Raticate/Watchog Crest: Super fang cuts 75% hp of the pokemon and can hit ghost typing, increases speed.
 

I haven't played the whole game and I haven't read the last ten pages so here are blind requests. I've found some online here and there:

Golem (and A-Golem) : Add/replace Sap Sipper and/or Water Absorb

Snorlax: Add/replace Poison Heal (and Toxic Orb effect?)

Volcaropod: Add/replace it Storm Drain (that thing so hot it should turn water into steam)

Cherrim: Add it Chlorophyll AND Solar Power (still no good)

Archeops: Crest is a permanent Iapapa Berry or something that refill even more HP, so that he needs to be one-shot to be K.O. He will make a good use of recoil moves that way.

Golisopod:

• Emergency Exit becomes something between Intimidate/Tough Claws/Adaptability (based on a reddit poll I found great).
• Other idea I'm less fan of: Add a Red Card effect to Emergency Exit.

Polteageist: Add it Flame Body, just for the laugh and our tongues

Frosmoth: Add it Compound Eyes for Hurricane and Blizzard

I am here to add to the avalanche.
Alright let see what i can think off. Hope i am not to late :p.

Tauros crest: Return the to gen 1 crits tied to speed. The faster tauros is the more likely that he will crit.
   Brings back our good old bull and makes him usefull.... sometimes.

Miltank crest: Lactose intolerant.  everyone dies of diarrhea. That's all. 
   In all seriousness maybe that's not such a bad idea. All healing you get or food you consume when she's out will give you an ailment for a few turns ( overtime damage or poison damage). Makes milkyway extra annoying.

Nidoqueen crest: Immune to status moves (can still get status by other moves like flamethrower) + get's life steal on all it's contact moves (20%/ 15% of it's missing health or somthing).
Nidoking crest: Speed boost when hit by a super effective move  + life steal (as describe above).
    Both King and Queen get a bit more sustain, Nidoqueen can tank more and king can retaliate better given that he isn't that fast.

Luxray crest: Give it the dark type + predatory senses ( If opponent health goes red luxray get's speed and attack boost, Can only happen once per switch in.)
   Predators will double their efforts to take down prey when its hurt. Gives luxray some much needed speed.

Delphox crest: Magic bouncy guard, i dunno. All none direct damage will be returned to the opponent (like sand storm damage and stealth rocks). 
   For a pokemon that's supposed to be a mage it can apparently only pickpocket with magician wich is kinda lame compared to greninja's protean ability.

Samurott crest: Changes it's god awfull 3 stage evolutions design. Nobody needs a fat slow samurai on four legs, how the hell does he even draw dem swords? 

Decidueye crest: Swap speed with sp.atk. + Phantom touch (all contact move have a chance to make you flinch).
   70 base speed? Why? This robinhood ninja guy is slower then blastoise a chonky turtle, and learns no special moves. Sometimes i don't get you game freak.

Aurorus crest: During hail it get's increased (40%) defense and sp.def. Becomes immune (or reduces damage off) to steel type moves.
   Aurorus Borealis -> Appeares because off magnetisme and radioactivity. Aurorus get's a magnetic field that redirects and protects it from da evil steel. 

Tyrantrum crest: 1.2x speed + ambush predator (damages all pokemon that switch into it, reversed pursuit )
   Research shows that the Tyrannosaurus rex probably was a ambush predator and relied on it's camouflage making it hard to see.

Goodra crest: Gives it the fairy type + adds passive healing or that all poison and water type move heal goodra. Or blubber armor reduces all incoming damage by 15%.  
   I like goodra (figures, username checks out. Not french wouldn't eat it though.) but it's really bad compared to the other pseudo's. Goodra lacks defense and recovery to stay in the fight and mono dragon isn't that good.  Can't think of anything amazing for goodra just yet.

Vespiquen crest: reducees speed by 25% but big butt. Hive guard, the hive will protect her from one attack and give all order moves +1 priority. 
   PROTECT DA QUEEN. 

Bisharp crest: Terminator Bisharp will ingnore all stat buffs and defenses like protect/ light screen. Boost it's speed by 1.2x 
  Looks like a power ranger version of the terminator. Let it act like a merciless killer.  

Omastar crest: PRAISE THE HELIX, the opponents team will join your team. 

That's all i can think off for now.

not doing exact numbers since there's no way half these ideas are balanced

Wishiwashi: At the start of Wishiwashi's turn, if it's not schooling, recover ~33-50% of its max health

-lets it always utilize schooling form's much better offenses, but healing low enough that it's not invincible

Dodrio: Whenever Dodrio acts, it also uses the move in its last moveslot at reduced effectiveness

-Dodrio's dex always talks about its ability to execute complex plans because of its 3 heads, so that's the flavor justification. Might need to be limited to only attacking moves because a free SD (or Roost) every turn would be super busted

Chimecho Crest: Chimecho summons safeguard on entering battle, gains the effects of light clay, and uses healing wish upon fainting. Combines attack with speed.

Aurorus Crest: Aurorus uses aurora veil on entering battle. 

Vanilluxe Crest: Vanilluxe's Ice type attacks become super effective against fire types. Combines attack with special attack.

Klinklang Crest: Klinklang gains levitate and motor drive. Combines special attack with attack.

Dustox Crest: Dustox takex x0.5 damage from any attack that has a side-effect (i.e. any attack effected by shield dust). Special attack and speed scale with special defense.

Cryogonal Crest: Summons light screen on entry, special attack scales with special defense.

Gabodor Crest: On entry, sets up a layer of spikes or toxic spikes (random). All of Garbodors poison attacks with a chance to poison will trigger 100% of the time.

Clefable Crest: Summons gravity on entry and doubles the chance of side effects to trigger.

Walrein Crest: Walrein always has x2 stockpile and gains refrigerate.

Unown Crest: Doubles all of Unowns stats and the power of hidden power.

One last crest idea... for a Mon' that really needs it.

Jynx Crest: Jynx automatically performs Lovely Kiss on any pokemon using a physical attack on her or that she makes a physical attack on. Jynx's Attack stat is overridden by her Speed stat. Speed and Special Attack are both increased by x1.1.

Noivern - All special attacks count as sound moves. Gives Punk Rock effect.

Sceptile - Attack scales with Special Attack. Gives Tough Claws effect

Blaziken - If it has Blaze, gives Technician effect. Does nothing if it has Speed Boost

Luxray - Gives +1 priority to biting moves. Gives Strong Jaw effect

Garchomp - Swaps Attack and Special Attack.

Flygon - Special Attack scales with Attack. Gives 1.5x boost to Bug moves.

Samurott - Gives 1.5x boost to Speed and cutting moves. Automatically uses the first cutting move in its moveset when switching in.

Golisopod - If Emergency Exit is activated before it can attack, it will attack before switching out. Gives 1.25x boost to Special Defense.

Xatu - Future Sight hits the turn it is used. (Can't think of anything else for this one)

Girafarig - Biting moves count as special attacks. Gives Strong Jaw effect. When hit with a contact move, counters with a super-effective biting move (except Bite) if the attacker is weak to one; uses a neutral move otherwise. If a contact move would KO, Girafarig will counter before fainting.

Liiligant - Gives Dancer effect. Dancer also works with the users dancing moves.

Delcatty - Doubles Attack and Special Attack. Normalize moves keep their original typing but still get STAB.

TALONFLAME CREST: Gale wings will always be active regardless of hp loss and doesn't take recoil damage from moves and def and sp def is halfed

Reasonable? Ones

Wishiwashi Crest - maybe a little buff to HP (maybe by 50%? it results in it only getting a base stat increase of 22.5 so nothing too outstanding) and having the added effect of regenerator? 

Inteleon Crest - Automatically sets up focus energy (and maybe gives it tinted lens as an added bonus? it has a lackluster movepool so it would be good to pack an extra punch with the moves its got. Also Inteleon got totally screwed over compared to the other Galar starters so giving it a buff would do it justice)

Ferrothorn Crest - Gains the added effects of analytic

Helioptile Crest - Gives the ability drought/drizzle?

If you brave

Hydreigon Crest - gains the added effects of mega launcher 

that's all I can think of for now 

looking forward to V13!

ok, here me out,

I don't think this Pokemon gets enough attention,

Charizard Crest.

I've got one more.

Vikavolt: Swaps Speed with Defense, and gives it a Parental Bond-like effect, specifically for Electric-type moves.

Maybe a Zebstrika Crest that gives it an OP physical electric move

A Magikarp Crest that gives it the power of Gyarados but needs to be at a certain level to use this power

Toxtricity Crest???? gives more speed on a electric terrain or power plant setting

Sirfetch'd Crest makes moves relating to the leek blade, eg: Leaf Blade or Night Slash, more powerful: and a boost for Swords Dance

Snom Crest, makes it better than Frosmoth but requires high pokemon level, and high friendship level

Inteleon Crest-Increases Critical rate (like Scope Lens) and sets up Substitute upon switch-in.

Delphox Crest-Boost Special Attack and Speed by 20% and yoinks any consumable item an opposing Pokemon may have while also consuming it (so, if Delphox switches on a target with a Sitrus Berry, it will take that berry and eat it immediately). This is to make up for Magician being ineffective while holding a Crest.

Chesnaught Crest-Gives Filter effect and reflects attacks that are blocked by Bulletproof

Greninja Crest-Gives a Focus Sash/Study effect (always lives 1 hit at 1 HP) and ignores Entry Hazards

Rillaboom-If opposing Pokemon are touching the ground on Grassy Terrain, Rillaboom with take the passive recovery away from them and take it for itself (not like Leech Seed exactly, but similar)

Cinderace-Swaps Attack with Special Attack and Pyro Ball is calculated off of Special Attack

Arcto Crest-only affects Arctovish and Arctovish; gives 25% boost to speed and gives Snow Warning effect (summons hail upon switch-in)

Draco Crest-only affects Dracovish and Dracozolt; gives Sand Stream effect (summons sandstorm upon switch-in)

Audino Crest-(NPC only)-doubles the EXP gain for the opponent when Audino is fainted

Garbodor Crest-Gives Black sludge recovery and Rocky Helmet effect

Runerigus Crest-boosts Attack and Special Defense by 25%

Falinks Crest-gives Simple effect and Intimidate always give +2 attack; if No Retreat is used, user becomes trapped and takes 1/16 damage at the end of every turn.

Bidoof Crest (cuz why not)-gets +6 to every stat and faints all other Pokemon on the field besides Bidoof

Dhelmise Crest-adds Water to typing and gives passive 1/8 damage to trapping moves

Armaldo Crest-Gives 1.5 (STAB) boost to any Water-type attack and increases Speed by 20%
 

Cradily Crest-boosts Defense and Special Defense by 20% and increases Ingrain recovery to 1/8 HP per turn.

Pachirisu Crest-gives Power Spot effect and a one-time Sitrus Berry effect (+30% HP at <50%)

Raichu Crest (doesn’t affect Alolan form)-gives Surge Surfer effect to Kantonian Raichu Surge Surfer and gives a 1.5x (STAB) boost to Normal-Type attacks.

Sudowoodo-gives Disguise effect.

Lurantis Crest-gives Chlorophyll effect (doubles speed in Sun) and boost attacking stats by 15%.

Flotalzel Crest-Gives Tough Claws effect (1.3 boost to contact moves) and Enigma Berry effect (halves damage from any super-effective attack once)

Chimecho Crest-adds resistance to Ghost and Dark (wards off evil spirits) and sets up Future Sight upon switch-in (predicts disasters)

Here are some ideas that popped up!

I beginned thinking of a crest for Meowstic. F meowstic to be more accurate (M meowstic is already sooo good and you don't ever not want him to have light clay, wich is really easy to get, so I don't think he need nor would use a crest.).

Now F meowstic's movepool is pretty okayish, lacking in support moves but having mad coverage. The main drawback is its awful stats. But I think Charge Beam is an interesting move to play with. So here's the idea:

Meowstic crest: Powers up electric-type moves(x1.5) and gives it Serene Grace.

The idea is basically to turn the lackluster Charge beam into a 75 BP move that powers up her sp atk each time she uses it, allowing her to snowball pretty easily. A stabbed Thunderbolt is also really nice, because I often found her limited by having the far from stellar psychic type as her only Stab. She doesn't have any move with a chance to flinch the target, wich avoid degenerate strategies.

Next I wanted to try and patch poor Spinda, an amazing mon that never really could do anything. I considered exploiting the contrary niche but there are already way better mons at it. So let's try exploiting the whole confusion thing.

Spinda crest: Double Attack, Special Attack and Speed when confused. Allows Teeter Dance to confuse the user as well.

Basically turns Teeter Dance into a better version of Dragon Dance. The SP attack boost is basically just there to allow you to run Spinda the way you want. Kind of a busted effect, but honestly with 60 everywhere I'm not even sure it will be that good.

Next and last is Liligant, one of my very favorites. I've seen a few comments that considered giving allowing her to directly use Quiver Dance when being sent out, wich I really like, but I will just mention the ideas I had before reading these.

Liligant's truest and biggest problem is her awful lack of coverage. Her only good coverage option is the Puff Ball she got in 8G, but insect and grass types are pretty much walled by the same types. With her stats, it just makes her utter garbage. I had two ideas to make up for it.

first proposition: Liligant Crest: Gives her Adaptability. Might also patch up her speed or her sp attack.

The first possibility is just to embrace this lack of coverage and make her totally rely on grass attacks. With Own Tempo, she can use Petal Dance without getting confused, even though she'll still be locked. She will only use grass type attacks, but at least she'll hit like a truck with it.

EDIT: Just tought you can go the Regieleki route and give it a grass-type transistor, wich is basically a second stab. Basically the same as Adaptability except instead of stab going from x1.5 to x2, it goes from 1.5 to 2.25.

second proposition: Liligant Crest: Gives her a fire-type pixilate (turn normal-type moves into fire-type moves and gets a 1.2x increase in power). Maybe patch up her sp attack somewhat?

This time we try to patch up her coverage. Fire and Grass sounds like a pretty good combination, even though she remains walled by fire-type. If I listened to my heart i would've wanted drought on it too but let's not get greedy.

Her only special moves are Hyper Beam, Round and Snore(wich is negligible). It's lackluster, but with both the 1.2x BP boost and Sun, it should get interesting. The idea is obviously to help her in her role as a Chlorophyll sun sweeper.

Here's that. Looking forward to V13, and to discover what irredeemable mons will find a purpose thanks to the new crests!

Shedinja crest: makes it so now it can only be hit by moves it would be resistant to ( not counting immunities )

Tropius crest: upon entering battle makes the sun shine and makes ice types neutral effective

Basculin cres: increases the power of biting moves ( like strong jaw )

Ferrothorn crest: swaps defense and speed

Had some silly ideas during work, so I decided to drop'em here:

Mimikyu Crest: Disguise never breaks, but still takes 1/8 damage from getting hit and heals 1/8 of Max HP if the holder is not hit this turn, but the holder can only use status moves.

Wobbuffet Crest: Decreases the opponent's highest attacking stat by one stage and everytime the holder is not hit by a move that does damage, activates all entry hazards at the end of the turn;

Slaking Crest: If the holder uses Slack Off, Truant gets supressed next turn;

Oranguru Crest: Upon using Instruct, increases the target's highest stat by one stage and heals the holder by 1/8;

Passimian Crest: Ignores Follow Me and Spotlight's effects;

Maractus: Boost both defenses and apply accupressure at the end of every round to all pokemon on your team. This allows it to be a support pokemon, something it fails at usually despite its good defensive ability and cool defensive moveset. This way, it can be a physical tank with fur coat and spiky shield with room still to set up offensively, and still contribute to the fight while setting up spikes in doubles. It also helps it to potentially sweep under chlorophyll, 

Pinchurchin Crest: Extends electric terrain and applies a substitute on switch-in, giving it a bit more bulk to compete with galaran corsola.

Corsola: Speaking of corsola... Give priority to defensive moves, like barrier and amnesia, and give it regenerator if it has hustle. Apply leftovers effect.

Volbeat: Make baton pass negative priority, and apply endure effect when using baton pass. 

Pachurisu: If it isn't holding an item in battle, have a harvest effect for a random stat-boosting or healing berry. Apply flinch chance to all damaging attacks. 

Luvdisc: allow attract to effect any other pokemon regardless of gender, use speed for attack, and apply attract on switch-in.

Kecleon: boost defense and get a new ability based on what type it is: 

Normal: Speed Boost

Fighting: Scrappy

Flying: Gale Winds

Poison: Corrosive

Ground: Stamina

Rock: Sturdy

Bug: Compound Eyes

Ghost: Levitate

Steel: Sturdy

Fire: Flash Fire

Water: Storm Drain

Grass: Sap Sipper

Electric: Motor Drive

Psychic: Magic Bounce

Ice: Thick Fat

Dragon: Filter

Dark: Contrary

Fairy: Magic Guard

This lets it set up with speed and then turn it into a game of figuring out what move your opponent is going to use on you to make it have the least effect, and using protean to change to something advantageous. It also incentivizes color change by making you immune to a lot of moves the second time around. Could be fun to trick a choice item onto an enemy and force them to switch or do nothing to you, or disable coverage moves and leave them unable to hurt you.

Hi \o

I'd love a Togedemaru crest since I use one all the time cause favourite poke; 

Was thinking it could give immunity to ground and perhaps Serene Grace, for some Iron Head/Zing Zap combo stuff

I don't recall all the in-game crests and didn't read the other 300 replies, and I doubt mine will be considered, but I'll just write some for fun, because crests are VERY fun.

Shedinja Crest - Gives it an unbreakable but single-use per battle focus sash so that you can actually use it without spending billions of sashes.

Alt Shed - Does that but also adds safety goggle and heavy duty boots. You can only kill it with poison or super effective moves. This would bump it up to around RU, whereas the prior would not move it from PU at all.

Wishiwashi Crest - Heals 25% of its HP whenever it goes into Schooling mode, like a weaker Aguav berry.

Obstagoon Crest - Intimidate

Pincurchin Crest - When hit with contact moves, deals Rocky Helmet + Iron Barbs damage. Makes both defenses 100 base. Lagging tail.

Falinks Crest - Parental bond x6, but each subsequent attack only does 10%. Can't wait to watch the Beat Up animation 36 times. Sadly, you can't equip King's Rock as well.

Snom Crest - Fire/Rock immunity, all stats boosted at the end of each turn. Does not work on Frosmoth.

Pyukumuku Crest - Shadow Tag.

You can really tell I have a bias, huh.

Golisopod Crest - Negates Emergency Exit.

Alt Golisopod - Infinite use Red Card. Can be used infinite times per fight.

Linoone Crest - Infinite PP.

Oranguru Crest - Stamina + Lefties.

Bewear Crest - Huge Power, Lagging Tail.
