Chart Shift. (Approved by Eevee General).
Chart Shift is a meta game with no fancy direct changes to a pokemon’s type, ability, stats, or moves. In fact there are no direct changes to pokemon, but instead to the pokemon type chart. The new type chart is displayed below.
By just sliding the defensive typings one slot to the left the meta is turned on its head. With new defensive values leading to many new threats rising from as deep as NU. Some top tier OU threats lose their effectiveness and others become even stronger.
Given that all the type chart changes is defensive values, the main things to look out for are:
Pokemon that have good defenses but have been held back by their typing in the past.
Immunity/resistance granting abilities that synergies well with new defensive values.
Set up opportunities granted by more resistances/immunities.
Entry Hazards
Just a pinch of notable changes:
Mantine is now very potent with Water/Flying now granting it the resistances and immunities of a Fire/Ground type, with Water absorb patching up a 4x weakness. It now has only 1 weakness along side 2 immunities and 5 resistances. It also has great SpD, Scald to threaten physical attackers, Roost and Defog.
Azumaril becomes even stronger with the defensive values of a Fire/Steal type granting it five 4x immunities to potentially set up an easy Belly Drum and hit like even bigger truck than CB Azumaril already is.
Slowbro is now 4x weak to Stealth Rocks O_O
It may take some time getting used to and understanding the meta game, but if you keep the type chart handy its easy to understand. Basically only defensive values are effected much. Offense isn’t affected too much as even though you don’t hit certain types as you did before, you hit their new equivalent.
e.g. Earthquake used destroy fire types, it no longer does this, but it instead hits water types, which effectively are fire types.
Playability: Now playable on the Aqua Server! Thanks to Snaquaza and Ghoul King <3
