Is there meant to be a giant gap between lv20 and lv35. What I would suggest is to add a couple of status moves in at the higher level movepool. Bulk Up and endure would be the simplest ones to add, although endure is quite often accompanied by reversal somewhere. Another option is counter. Maybe also Wide Guard. Otherwise it looks good, though maybe it should jsut have 2 ATK EVs, not really sure how that works.

[Cyberknight98]

There is not meant to be a gap... I'll fix that

[Cyberknight98]

Bump

[Devoxys]

While I can see where the 1 HP, 1 Atk EV Yield is coming from, I think the difference between the 2 stats are enough to make it just 2 Atk.

Otherwise, looks good.

[Cyberknight98]

Yeah, originally it had a higher HP stat, which is why I had 1 HP and 1 Attack EV. I'll switch it to 2 Atk.

[rexthegamer]

- 2 Metres? That's as tall as a tyranitar? Miltanks only 1.2? So maybe like 1.5/6? I think it's a bit too tall personally.
- I don't think ring out is going to be approved so use Scrappy or something instead.

[Cyberknight98]

-The average bull stands at 1.5 meters normally, but Sumoo is bipedal, meaning it'd be much taller... I can lower it to 1.5 though.

-I'm gonna hold out on Ring Out until I can get a more definitive answer.

[rexthegamer]

Yeah i was going to say. I mean it's a bit tall for a bull being 2 metres, like taller than a Tyranitar or other tall pokemon.

[Cyberknight98]

I've Removed Ring Out as an ability. This is ready for final approval.

[rexthegamer]

Concerns with moves:
-Rain dance, doesn't use water moves, so what's the point in it?
-204kg is canny heavy, miltank is only 75.5kg and Taurus is only 88kg, i know sumoo is suppost to be a sumo wrestler stlye pokemon, so why not like 130-160 kg or something
-For species why not just the "Sumo" Pokemon Since The fighting cow pokemon is kinda long and iffy.

[Cyberknight98]

-Removed Rain Dance from TM's
-204 kg is not unheard of; Snorlax is over twice as heavy, and 204 kg isn't nearly as heavy as a real life bull.
- "Sumoo the Sumo Pokemon" just doesn't sound right. There are longer species names than "Fighting Bull" pokemon.

[Snaquaza]

Small thing, but I'd change "home" to "territory" in the dex entry. Home sounds like it is literally living inside a house to me.

[Cyberknight98]

Alright, I'll make the change. I believe this is ready for final approval.

[Kim BC]

Approved 1/3. mb i was thinking it was 90

Everything seems pretty fine though i got to question the 70 Base Happiness.

70 is the standard. Why shouldn't it have that?

[Devoxys]

Looks good Approved 2/3

[Salient]

Once you fix the issues I mentioned in chat, Approved 3/3
