Dagsear ~ [spoiler] I'd like to think this Pokemon evolved from a cute but fierce looking smaller version (named Saiblaze). I envision it looking like Meta Knight from Kirby except being on fire and it's sword flaming. (can post inspiration pictures if wanted). Concept: Mixed Attacker, Sunny Day Utilizer, Physical Bulky Good mixed sweeper stats 130/100/102. Resists most of what Snorlax can throw at it (not often does Lax carry Earthquake) and can hit back pretty hard with focus punches, superpowers, or brick breaks. Blissey doesn't have much to hurt Dagsear either, barring counter (if it doesn't ohko). Steel types like Skarmory, Magneton, Forretress run away in fear. Skarm/Bliss breaker. Normal effective fire moves and do decent damage as it's HP and Sp Def stats are nothing to rely on, and fighting types can do decent damage as well. Fire types aren't very threatened by Dagsear without Rock Slide, but some good physical attacks might hurt low defense Fire types like Flareon. Ultimate counters include bulky water types like Lanturn, Vaporeon, Slowbro or Lapras. The latter being weak to STAB steel moves or rock slide though. Starmie can revenge kill this pokemon like nothing else and anything with earthquake also will most likely ohko Dagsear. Marowak is being used less and less and would make a big comeback if this was in the metagame. Salamence might be a good switch in, but with a high base attack stat, access to rock slide, and a higher base speed, Salamence wouldn't be the greatest switch in. Weezing can stand up to the physical attacks, but the mixed part of Dagsear makes Weezing not a problem. Sunny Day/Solarbeam is a great option for Dagsear as the weather decreases water attacks and let's it solarbeam Marowaks and Starmies for a ohko. Hidden power grass is also an option if you don't want to waste a moveslot on sunny day, or don't have sunny day with another pokemon. Jolteon outspeeds and still hits hard. It also resists the steel type attacks, but other physical moves would ohko Jolteon. Overall this Pokemon would cause a decrease in the use of Snorlax and Blissey due to it's typing and base attack. Steel types would also be used less. Marowak (and other ground types) would make a great comeback. Vaporeon and Slowbro would be shown some more love, and Starmie would start making its comeback. Typing: Steel/Fire Type Effectiveness: 4x Ground, 2x Water, Fighting 1x Rock, Fire, Electric 1/2x Dragon, Flying, Dark, Ghost, Normal, Psychic 1/4x Grass, Bug, Steel, Ice, 0x Poison Threats: Snorlax, Blissey, Skarmory, Umbreon, Forretress, Magneton, Scizor, (most special walls and any steel type). With Rock Slide: Salamence, Gyarados, other Flying types, Fire Types. Ability: Flame Body, or Blaze. Fire type, so these abilities are sort of self explanatory. (I feel Flash Fire would be too over-powered here as fire types would be useless, but if discussed it is still an option) Base Stats: HP 77 Att 130 Def 105 Sp Att 100 Sp Def 86 Spd 102 Total 600 (Pseudo-Legendary Total) Counters: Slowbro, Vaporeon, Lanturn, Marowak. Possible Counters: Salamence, Machamp, less bulky Ground types, Lapras, Jolteon Name: Carries a searing dagger. Mixture of those two words. (Pretty obvious right?)
