This time I want to help things that see absolutely no use!

Move, Altaria, Drill Peck

There are several reasons why I think Altaria merits this move. (1) From a thematic standpoint, the Altaria line learns Peck which suggests that it can, in fact, use its beak as a weapon. I know AA wanted to keep Altaria limited to the special spectrum of attack, alas, I am not sure if this is even worth suggesting. (2) The Dragon Dance potential here is too cool pass up. Hidden Power Bird simply doesn't do enough damage with Altaria's subpar attack. (3) It will actually see some use if this mod is implemented. I have used the Calm Mind set before but it really really doesn't work when Ice Beam damns that strategy to hell. Leave the special attacking to Elemence or Dragonite at least (who can use Thunder moves). I think Altaria would find a really nice niche in this metagame, as it gets other attractive moves in Heal Bell and can Natural Rest. Please, give Altaria a chance! It can be a nice Alternative to Dragonite because it can Ice Beam and take special hits more effectively (Dragonite's mod prohibits it from using ice moves).

Move, Misdreavus, Rapid Spin

Twinks and I talked about this one a while ago. It's a pretty balanced addition in my opinion; it won't be gamebreaking at the expense of showing Missy some love. MissyD would be really cool if it could spin. It has limited staying power, but it's helped a lot by pain split. Utilitydreavus for the win.

Move, Poliwrath, Sky Uppercut

Let's face it, Poliwrath got the shaft movepool-wise, especially back in GSC when Brick Break didn't exist. Furthermore, it has a paltry attack stat, which can only be boosted by using Belly Drum or Bulk Up. If Sky Uppercut is to remain exclusive to Blaziken, Breloom, and Hitmonchan, perhaps a better trait such as Guts would be useful for the 'Wrath. He has a lot of trouble hurting things.

I like Altaria. I dunno about Missyd though. Immune to Rapid spin/SPikes and being able to spin yourself. Hmmmmm......

Motion for Compoundeyes Poliwrath. Cross Chop, Hydro Pump, and Hypnosis FTW.

Yeah I'm liking the ideas here. Even intimidate Poliwrath would be great.

Poliwrath (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 208 Def / 16 SAtk / 16 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hypnosis
- Surf
- Body Slam / Sky Uppercut / Brick Break
- Pain Split

a prototypical Poliwrath set that would seriously put Kingler out of a job :(

And Kingler and Wrath would be used just about the same, Kingler has a much higher defense and attack that some might prefer.

high defense yes, but crap HP...

poliwrath has monster hp and 317 potential def... not too shabby

also rock resist is an ok trade for a flying weak if you aren't relying on it to be your only bird counter
