No Haxmons
Ever play OU, and get annoyed by constant hax and luck based situations ? Hydro Pump missing, Iron Head flinching you, Scald burning you, Ice Beam freezing you, etc.. not a single Rock move being accurate etc...
Well here in No Haxmons, it's exactly what it says on the tin - No Hax. So, even moves like Hypnosis, which previously had terrible accuracy, will always hit. Now, I know what you're thinking. What about Dynamicpunch ? Wouldn't it be OP? That's where the second rule of the meta comes in - no secondary effects. This ensures that you'll never get statused by hax, ever. You could argue that this takes out some mons' viability like Machamp and Golurk but they also have good alternative abilities to use as well.
Serene Grace becomes a useless ability here, while Hustle gives a free boost with no drawbacks. Pokemon like Heracross gain a significant boost, with a never misssing Megahorn + Stone Edge for good coverage. Likewise Mienshao has Hi Jump Kick and Stone Edge. Specs Toed and Keldeo can use Hydro Pump and forget about Surf. Gengar is now one of the fastest sleep inducers with Hypnosis, Whimsicott and Sableye are now guaranteed to inflict status, Tornadus, Dragonite, and Volcarona can use Hurricane even on a Sun team...
There's a lot more to it and if you wanna play it's currently hosted on Tervari: Click here to Play.
There's some discussion going on about moves with guaranteed effects but as if right now they don't work, so don't worry about Dynamicpunch and Zap Cannon.
I'll post more info about it and add a threatlist as soon as this meta becomes more common. And a banner too, I guess.
