I mostly agree, but think that bl's should be treated as the tier above, because they're considered too good for the tier below and thus might be better than the rest of the tier.

Metagame Workshop
- Thread starter Uselesscrab
- Start date
- Status
That could work I was thinking maybe status moves would be usable but they half the bp, half the accuracy of the status move becomes the chance for that thing to happen or maybe it would only do half of that effect.
As you want, my method and yours are both good, and it's your meta, i was just advicing ^^
I was thinking about an OM called Usually Useless where you can only use moves from the "usually useless" category on the showdown team builder. However I can't really develop this further until I have a complete list of those "Usually useless" moves. Does anyone know where I could find something like that?
Smeargle in the teambuilder
That meta is specifically disallowed if you read the index.
Heres another idea from me:
Battle Dance
Metagame premise:
Mons can switch between "shield" and "sword" formes by using z-moves, which have their regular effects removed but can be used as many times as is required in a match.
When you use your z-move, your ATTACK stat swaps with your SPECIAL DEFENSE stat, and your SPECIAL ATTACK stat swaps with your DEFENSE stat. This affects the base stat, not investments or stat boosts. Z-moves no longer alter anything about the move, so it retains its base properties, power, priority, accuracy etc. The only thing they do is flip the pokemon's base stats before the move attempts to hit the opponent.
You dont need to hold a z-crystal to turn a STAB attack into a z-move in this metagame. You have the option of holding a z-crystal also, but this wont turn your move into a z-move, itll simply give you the ability to turn any of the moves with the appropriate typing into a z-move. An example of where this might be useful would be Normalium-Z for protect.
Just like Aegislash, when you switch out you revert back to your normal stats for your next switch-in.

Some examples of good mons
Toxapex @ Leftovers
Ability: Merciless
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Baneful Bunker
- Sludge Bomb
- Liquidation
- Recover
Toxapex can use Baneful bunker as a z-move to switch safely between typings just like aegislash can. This allows it to hit very hard while being safe, as it drops its defenses to 50/53/63 on the turn it attacks but can shield itself while transforming back into a strong defensive pokemon.
Steelix-Mega @ Steelixite
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Stealth Rock
This Mega Steelix is able to slowly switch into a devastating 230 base special attack, along with a much improved 125 special defense which hugely benefits its typing. This is an example of the sheer power that can be achieved by some defensive mons.
Alakazam-Mega @ Alakazite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 52 Def / 204 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
While it might seem the meta only favours slow pokemon with huge defenses, thats not always the case! This Alakazam has a great matchup on both physical and special sides thanks to the option to change all its special attack over to defense while clicking calm mind. Thanks to its high speed tier, it can switch happily between high defense and high special defense as it boosts up and then sweeps.
.
Questions:
I wonder if you have any questions or can theorize something about the metagame. I am hoping this can be a fun meta where every mon gets to tap into the brokenness of aegislash without having to deal with the 50/50s of kings shield. This meta will have a lot of really powerful attackers but also a lot of very powerful pivots and sponges to take these attacks
also ill explain the reason why atk swaps with special defense instead of atk swapping with def, etc: offense swapping with the opposite defense made the biggest changes to the pokemon, since a lot of mons with high defenses have also high attack, and both low special atk and special defense, so it didnt actually have much impact when choosing to swap your stats. vice versa, a lot of mons with high special defense are also special attackers with bad physical offense and defense. this way, swapping stats makes a noticable change and can actually change the way the pokemon might play with both sets.

Sounds familiar
Edit: better name though
mine has offense switch with the opposite defenses which changes the meta more so even the core concept is totally different, i couldve called it distortionmons and played with the idea of it being based off of giratinas stat switch between formes and then the comparison would probably not have been made.
i imagine a lot of stance switching metagames have been submitted but i posted mine anyway bc it does it through z-moves rather than being tied to moves/being forced, so it adds a different layer of play since you can do things like the alakazam set which are impossible in a lot of stance change metas. it also doesnt rely on kings shield variants at all or force players to use protect turns/ force their forme change at all. if you lookat the metagame you posted it always switches offenses and defenses when attacking, so running any pokemon that is originally offensive is basically garbage, not to mention cant be ran as walls since they cant switch into any attacks and have to then waste a very transparent turn protecting, followed by hopefully having some form of recovery. i dont think the comparison between this metagame and that one is a very good one
tbh i might change the name to Distorted anyway

Any more suggestions like what to ban just in case in my OM with the most likes so far, as well as other suggestions, before that I could submit it later?
Metagame name: Instant Happening
Metagame premise: Everything that could wait for a turn or more, will inevitably happens (at now or at the end of turn, depended on the move). Anything that goes for five or more turns will inevitably ends at the end of the turn it was used. Anything that stays as long as the Pokémon is around does not count toward this metagame's rule.
Solar Beam/Blade will strike the moment it got activated (without Sun), Perish Song will instantly take effect and faint all Pokémon at the end of the turn of its usage, and the Weathers, Terrains and Rooms will go away after a turn. Future Sight and Doom Desire will also strikes at the end of the turn. There is no such thing as "take effect at the next/umpteenth turn".
Potential bans and threats: OU Clause. Perish Song could be considered as too unhealthy despite the sacrifice, and if Hyper Beam counted seeing the "recharge at the next turn", Porygon-Z could subject into suspect test or even outright ban as the recharge would happens at the same turn anyway after the usage of move (this at least, if Mega Kangaskhan was unbanned, would stop the Giga Impact spamming). With Psychic Terrain being almost useless (except for one turn Priority protection for Tapu Lele), priority become more prominent, and multiple moves such as Future Sight, Solar Beam/Blade, Sky Attack and other similar attacks are becoming more useful. Psychic-type, Grass-type and Flying-type may become more powerful with the unrestricted aforementioned move.
EDIT: Kyurem-Black may also get suspect tested does to finally having access to a powerful and useful Ice STAB in the form of Freeze Shock. Rest would also be too unhealthy does to potentially making stall too unpractical to deal with.
Questions for the community:
+ Which Pokémon could benefit the most from metagame's rule, and which Pokémon would be most hindered by the same rule?
+ Do the Hyper Beam variation counted toward this rule, or would be those too powerful in these case?
+ Which strategy (Offensive, Sweeping, Defensive, Stall, etc.) would be mostly affected by this rule?

Unown Cup
All pokemon are banned except Unown. Species clause does not exist. All Unown are the type of their Hidden Power and/or have the ability Protean.
Strategy is basically to try to win with type advantages.

What A Wonderful World
Everything has Wonder Guard on top of its regular ability
OU Banlist + Tynamo line + Burn Up
The idea is that you try to cover as many types with SE damage as you can.

Ban Air Baloon and Magnet Rise.
Also that really doesn't sound like a fun thing to play tbh :/
This is explicitly on the list of things that have been rejected in the past and should not be resubmitted.
Whoops.
That actually sounds pretty interesting. You'd have to remove levitate though. I don't think protean is a good ability because you'd only change type when attacking. I also think announcing the type of the Unown is a good idea.
Dunno if it's a good idea to base a meta on only one Pokemon though, lacks diversity kinda. And will get boring quickly.
Ability Alphabet
Metagame premise: Every ability gets the effect of the next one, in an alphabetical order, added/merged to them (Moody is skipped for obvious reasons).
For an example, let's take a look at Serene Grace. The next ability is Shadow Shield. So as of now,Serene Grace's effects are: "This Pokemon's moves have their secondary effect chance doubled and if this Pokemon is at full HP, damage taken from attacks is halved".
Edit as of 5/25:
- Parental Bond will also be skipped. This is due to it being able to abuse Seismic Toss and even Nature's Madness (The later through Smeargle), which are obviously not really balanced. Since the only mon to get Parental Bond is Ubers anyways, I decided to skip the ability rather than banning Own Tempo.
- Huge Power is being taken onto account wheter to be banned or not, as it merges with Hustle, essentially giving a +3 in attack. However, no Huge Power user has any accuracy-boosting move (Either that or I missed it), which is why I'm still deciding (Always being at +3 is honestly ridiculously broken, so it'll probably end up being banned)
- Minior is quickbanned due to Shell Smash + Simple combo
Edit as of 6/3:
- Ability List is (hopefully) all fixed
- Huge Power is quickbanned
- Metagame Name is decided
Potential bans and threats:
Questions for the community:
- Is Necrozma banworthy, since Prism Armor now has the effects of Protean added to it?
- Is Minior banworthy? It has Simple Shell Smash but not that good stats (I'd go with yes)

The really OP abilities that would be banworthy otherwise don't really create threats. Huge Power is merged with Honey Gather, so the new users are things like Combee and Teddiursa. Pure Power adds it effect to Psychic Surge, so the only new user is Tapu Lele. Comatose goes to Kecleon. Adaptability is Zan Mode Darmanitan's new toy. Shadow Tag's effect is added to Shadow Shield, so the only new user would be Lunala, which is banned. Parental Bond is added to Own Tempo. Wonder Guard is given to... Wimpod out of all things. The only banworthy is Simple, which goes to Minior; and Protean Necrozma

Questions for the community:

I really like that idea, so here's some mons that likes this meta :
Venusaur-mega (Thick Fat) : Grass is resisted by 7 types... but that doesn't matter anymore. Now it gets Tinted Lens, so prepare to Giga Drain everything.
Milotic (Competitive) : Competitive gives Compound Eyes, and you can enjoy your boosted accuracy on moves like Hypnosis, Hydro Pump and Blizzard.
Tornadus (Defiant) : Defiant gives Delta Stream. Maybe it's something...
Medicham-mega (Pure Power) : Gets Queenly Majesty, so priority isn't a problem anymore.
Raikou (Pressure) : Gets Primordial Sea with Weather Ball and Thunder, cuz' Wynaut.
Salemence and other Moxie mons : Gets Multiscale... RUN AWAY !
Tapu Bulu (Grassy Surge) : Gets Guts. And the burn damage isn't a big problem with the Grassy Terrain on.
Greninja (Protean) : Gets Psychic Terrain. With Extrasensory and it's speed, it could be really dangerous.
Florges (Flower Veil) : Gets Fluffy... now, Iron Heads and stuff are not a problem...
Parental Bond will probably be a threat, since there's some good mons that learns it, like Slowking.
And if one day there's an Uber version of this meta, Genesect will enjoy it's added Drizzle.
Talking about that, Drizzle gives Drought, so which ability triggers first ?

Alphebetical order, drizzle triggers first, then Drought. Which means Pelipper is a sun setter now.
By the way, Speed Boost gives Stakeout, dunno if it's good or bad since Speed Boosters aren't that strong.
Adaptability gives Aerilate, but no Flying type with Adaptability...
I don't think Necrozma is banworthy, sure it gets Protean but it still lacks the movepool to hit Psychic resistant Pokemon, particuarly Steel types. Not a real threat since it was spamming Psychic type moves most of the time.

Does seem like a cool idea, I would definitely play this. Some stuff:
Mawile-Mega and Diggersby have both Huge Power and Hustle, so for the price of 20% accuracy they are effectively always at +3 attack. That may need to be banned.
Starmie can have No Guard and Natural Cure. Get ready for perfectly accurate Hydro Pumps, Blizzards and Thunders!
Tapu Bulu can now have Grassy Surge and Guts. Flame Orb gives it a psuedo Choice Band and Grassy Surge negates the burn damage.
Beast Boost mons also get Berserk. Only really affect Celesteela and Nihilego though.
Hippowdon and Tyranitar get an evasion boost for the first 5 turns. That could be annoying.
Landorus-T now gets Iron Barbs as well, so it can now inflict 20% damage a turn with Rocky Helmet
Tornadus and Thundurus effectively have no weaknesses now as they get Delta Stream
Lucario can now have Steelworker-boosted Bullet Punch and Iron Tail

Man Snow Cloak might be viable as you get Snow Warning now, Ninetales Alola finds itself like it was Pokebilities in this meta...
Tough Claws gives Toxic Boost.... mmh only Barbaracle really can use it, and don't really benefit from it outside of being immune to status.
Dugtrio now gains Aroma Veil, which means it traps and is immune to Taunt.... Might worth a ban maybe.
Sand Force gives Sand Rush and Sand Rush gives Sand Stream, Excadrill doesn't need Tyranitar anymore and Dugtrio can work as a sand attacker thanks to Sand Force boosting its STAB and Sand Rush doubling its Speed under the sand.
Will come up with more.
