Introduction
When looking at the best pokémons in OU you will notice that most of them succed by having some really good STABs, for example the S-ranks MegaZardX, Azumarill and Keldeo would still be some of the best mons around even if they could only use STABs, but what about a metagame where having a good offensive typing became a liability rather than an advantage?
So this is the idea of Coveragemons STAB (same type atack bonus) will be replaced by DTAB (different type atack bonus) meaning that for example Talonflame gains a 1.5X damage boost on U-turn but loses his 1.5X from STAB Brave Bird so now brave bird is a 120 damage move and U-turn becomes 105.
Of course mons with huge movepools and bad offensive types will probably become great on this meta as they now have a 1.5X damage modifier on all their move except the ones from their own type, I can easily see mons like Alakazam, Metagross and most pseudo legendaries (even with the loss of dragon stab for most of them) having huge boosts while the previously mentioned Talonflame, Greninja and others will probably be pretty bad on this meta.
Rules
- All clauses from standard applies.
- All pokémons who are banned on standard will be banned here too.
Interations with some abilities
I think the easy way to not get lost when playing this OM is to think that STAB (same type atack bonus) never existed and instead we have DTAB (different type atack bonus), so for some examples:
-Adaptability will give a 2x modifier to all the moves the mon uses that are from a different type than his own.
-Protean sucks in this meta as the mon will never be able to use the 1.5X atack modifier.
So any feedback is appreciated, and if someone know how and wants to code this meta for us to play, please PM me.
