Z-Moves Everywhere: Version 2? The return?Electric Boogaloo?
You may have heard of Z-Moves Everywhere. It used to be a bit of a big deal. And I, Kilgrave, am the one who started it over 2 years ago. Then I took a hiatus from Smogon, and now I have returned and really want to engage once again in the Pet Mod community. After seeing how much people enjoyed my old Pet Mod, I came to realise that there was so much more that could be done with it, which is why I propose that I bring it back with myself at the helm once again. Let's get down to business:
Z-Moves have no become a staple in competitive play, with any one Pokemon that you choose be able to launch a super-powered attack once per battle. However, some Pokemon got better treatment than others. Think of Mew, with it's own unique Z-Move, or Pikachu, with two! This is unfair for nearly every other Pokemon, so what if all Pokemon had their own unique Z-Move? That's what Z-Moves Everywhere sets out to do.
Z-Moves Everywhere is incredibly simple. All you need to do to participate is to submit your Z-Move like so:
If you're confused, here's an example of what your post should look like:
Before I get to the rules, I just want to mention that this time around I really want to treat this like a hypothetical metagame, and should this get off the ground I have created a Discord server to discuss the Mod itself, maybe balance a thing or two and really dig deep into it. But this thread will be used exclusively for the creation of more new Z-Moves!
There will be a 5-day submission period (usually Monday-Friday), and a 2-day voting period (usually Saturday-Sunday), making each slate last one week. Any meta discussion can come into the thread at any time but the best place to talk about that would be the Discord server, so use that if possible.
So, rules, starting with the submission rules:

Z-Moves Everywhere is incredibly simple. All you need to do to participate is to submit your Z-Move like so:
Pokemon Sprite/Name: Post a picture of the Pokemon you're submitting for or the name of it.
Z-Move Name: Z-Move names are usually long and punchy. Try get creative with them!
Name of Z-Crystal: This is usually the Pokemon's name with -ium Z on the end. (e.g. Mewnium Z or Eevium Z)
Z-Move Type: The Type of the Pokemon's Z-Move.
Z-Move Power: The Z-Move's base power. All damaging Pokemon-specific Z-Moves have a power ranging from base 180 to base 210, but don't feel restricted by them. Just try not to make them too broken. Of course, some Z-Moves don't have damage at all, if that's the case just skip this bit.
Required Move: All of these Z-Moves should require a specific move to activate them, so be sure to put which one it is here.
Z-Move Description: How does this Z-Move play out. Creativity and detail is encouraged here!
Z-Move Effect: What happens after the Z-Move is used. Make this part as descriptive as possible!

If you're confused, here's an example of what your post should look like:
Pokemon Sprite/Name:
Z-Move Name: Genesis Supernova
Name of Z-Crystal: Mewnium Z
Z-Move Type: Psychic
Z-Move Power: 185
Required Move: Psychic
Z-Move Description: After obtaining Z-Power, the user, Mew, attacks the target with full force. The terrain will be charged with psychic energy.
Z-Move Effect: Places Psychic Terrain on the field after being used.

So, rules, starting with the submission rules:
- First of all, only submit Z-Moves for the Pokemon that are being used in the slate. Any submissions for anything that is not in the slate won't be counted and will just make you look silly.
- Submit your choices before the deadline, and not after. Anything after will not count. If you start your submission but don't finish it by the time I put the voting options up, it will not count either.
- Give your Z-Move a lot of thought before you submit it. It is very easy to make a Z-Move broken, so keep it balanced. No insta-kill, 300 power moves here please.
- This Pet Mod does not adjust the rules of Pokemon in any way, so please make sure that it's actually possible within the limits of the game!
- Other than that, you can submit your Z-Moves however you would like. Have fun!
- Each person must include their favourite 3 submissions, listed in order of best to... less best. For example:
Pikachu: Not Kilgrave, Kilgrave, Also Not Kilgrave - You do not have to vote for yourself, but if you choose to, you cannot place yourself first.
- Vote separately for each Pokemon.
- New rule incoming: Last time, there were a lot of ties, so I will change the way they work. In the event of a tie, I will have final say on what wins. Controversial maybe, but there really needed to be a better way of sorting them.
- Like with submissions, any votes cast after the deadline will not count.
