I'd remove the limit on moves, otherwise it's just Little Cup with higher stats. Without the move restriction, here are some interesting mons I found:Stunted Evolution:
Final Stage pokemon have the type ability and moves of the the lowest pre evolution.
Has this already been done?
Bans: Single Stage pokemon
Masquerain is now Bug/Water with either Swift Swim or Rain Dish. The loss of Intimidate hurts, but the reduced damage from Stealth Rock and STAB on Hydro Pump make up for it.
Tyranitar is now Rock/Ground with Guts. That's some serious power right there.
Lucario and Honchkrow get Prankster for potential Copycat and Mirror Move shenanigans.
Gengar has Levitate again!
Flareon is now Normal with Adaptability. Its new typing grants two new STAB options in Return (no recoil) and Quick Attack.
Leafeon is similar, but with more speed and bulk at the cost of power and coverage.
Hydreigon now has Hustle. This increases the viability of physical and mixed sets.
Darmanitan also now has Hustle.
252+ Atk Choice Band Hustle Darmanitan Flare Blitz vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Toxapex: 176-207 (58 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery
Milotic now has Swift Swim and Adaptability. This shifts it into more offensive roles.
Naganadel can probably be unbanned, as without a Dragon typing, its Devastating Drakes will be much weaker.
Aegislash can maybe be unbanned, because it can't change forms without Stance Change, but it's still stupid bulky.
Single stage mons can also be unbanned, because they no longer have the movepool advantage.
