I haven't been on long enough to comment on the metagame, so most of them are for purposes of realism.

- Remove Swords Dance (or meteor mash) from registeel
Reasoning: Registeel already has awesome defenses, making it hard to kill before it sets up, plus, most of the pokemon that stand a chance at KOing this thing (fire types, fighters, etc...) are pretty fragile themselves. so it's hard to really counter this thing before it gets going


- Give jumpluff Vital Spirit...
Reasoning: It's a cheerleader, thus full of energy? Plus jumpluff doesnt really have a use for chlorophyll anyway, as its too fragile and doesnt have enough offense to be um.. offensive.


- Give Medicham back Rock Slide, give him earthquake - remove bulk up
Reasoning: taking away rock slide just forces people to use HP rock, which isn't much of a difference anyway, and I personally prefer HP rock over rock slide anyday for accuracy. anyway... someone with such "pure power" should easily be able to make rock slides and earthquakes and such, and you can remove bulk up to compensate for these additions (plus I dont think it makes sense on him anyway).


- Give Sharpedo Intimidate and Beat Up
Reasoning: This one is simple. from what I know, sharks attack in groups (beat up) and a lot of people are scared of sharks so it should get intimidate.

- Give Cacturne Water Absorb,
Reasoning: Cactii(sp?) absorb water. The end. I was thinking of suggesting camerupt get water absorb as well, but I guess it wasnt meant to be an ordinary camel, and I am sure camerupt would be kind of overpowered if its 4x weakness became an immunity.

It already lost rest with any kind of boosting move so it's fine where it is. Just status it and it'll be hindered pretty severely. Plus, most people know to pack a registeel counter on their teams by now.


- Give jumpluff Vital Spirit...
      Reasoning: It's a cheerleader, thus full of energy? Plus jumpluff doesnt really have a use for chlorophyll anyway, as its too fragile and doesnt have enough offense to be um.. offensive.

What would that do exactly?

Medicham is fine. A lot of people use HP Rock anyway instead of rock slide. Earthquake Medicham is redundant in the first place with a STAB fighting move and the last thing medicham needs is a nerf

- Give Sharpedo Intimidate and Beat Up
      Reasoning: This one is simple. from what I know, sharks attack in groups (beat up) and a lot of people are scared of sharks so it should get intimidate.

Beat up sucks in the first place so it's kind of worthless. Intimidate sharpedo would still get killed by anything physical and everyone would still use Hustle in the first place since it's attack is Gigantic with it

- Give Cacturne Water Absorb,
        Reasoning: Cactii(sp?) absorb water. The end. I was thinking of suggesting camerupt get water absorb as well, but I guess it wasnt meant to be an ordinary camel, and I am sure camerupt would be kind of overpowered if its 4x weakness became an immunity.

It already resists water, there's no point in giving it an immunity to something it already resists

Yeah, you need to play the modded metagame more before you start suggesting.

Yea just listen to BBM. Good thing is none of the stuff you named is broken, so if you play around some good suggestions might come.
