Welcome to the gen 6 Joimmons development thread! This is where you can discuss changes on this pet mod. For reference: Gen 5 Thread. It shall be implemented in Joim's Lab after Skillmons is finished. Joimmons is playable in the Ubers, OU, and Doubles formats.
Introduction
Joimmons is the epitome of pet mods. It's one of the most subjective pet mods, if not the most. There are three type of key changes on this pet mod: Flavour, balance, and because I like it. This pet mod includes elements that have been seen in other OMs or pet mods... and it works greatly. The main points of Joimmons:
Typechart
The typechart gets updated. Changes and their explanation:
Added a new weather, Toxic Rain, and a new ability that sets it for 5 turns, Contamination, and an item that will make its duration 8 turns, Toxic Rock. Toxic Rain increases the accuracy of Poison-type moves to 100%, and hits non-Poison-, non-Bug-, and non-Steel-types by 1/16 every turn. It also lowers Defense and Special Defense to these without the aforementioned types or the Poison Heal or Toxic Body(new) abilities.
Hail is now granting a 50% damage increase to all Ice-type damaging moves.
The new ability Trickster, makes the user induce automatic Trick Room upon switch in by 5 turns . By now only Reuniclus posses this ability instead of Overcoat. It's a pseudo-weather, which means that it's available to use besides a weather.
Gravity now last 8 turns.
Hazards
Stealth Rock now deals fixed 12.5% damage.
New hazard added: Black Ice has Ice-type damage for those who switch-in. It deals 12.5% damage upon switch in but 25% damage to Dragon-types.
As for Spikes, they can be stacked now up to five times, dealing 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, and up to 1/3 damage to non immune types. That means you will need an additional layer to deal the same damage but at the same time you can get more damage. Toxic Spikes are still removed by Poison-types.
Rapid Spin and Sticky Web get a much wider distribution. Rapid Spin now ignores immunities as well.
Black Ice distribution:
Abomasnow, Cryogonal, Froslass, Forretress.
Move changes and distribution
Lower tier Pokémon get buffed: BL gets +2, UU gets +5, BL2 gets +7, RU gets +10, BL3 gets +12, NU and NFE get +15, BL4 gets +20, PU and LC get +25 to all their stats. This changes won't apply to Pokémon buffed by this mod.
I think this is the crown jewel of gen 6 Joimmons. Everything can critically hit now.
Item changes:
Most Ubers are unbanned. More to follow.
Clauses
Ubers have no clauses whatsoever but Species Clause. OU by now has Evasion Clause, OHKO Moves Clause, Species Clause, also Soul Dew and Ubers banned.
Notes on the metagame
To be able to use a new ability or move in Pokemon Showdown!, it's possible that you must write it in the Import/Export function, as trying to use the GUI will default to existing abilities / moves, but if you write them down they will work.
Introduction
Joimmons is the epitome of pet mods. It's one of the most subjective pet mods, if not the most. There are three type of key changes on this pet mod: Flavour, balance, and because I like it. This pet mod includes elements that have been seen in other OMs or pet mods... and it works greatly. The main points of Joimmons:
- Most balanced metagame in an OU environment.
- All fully evolved Pokémon must be viable in OU.
- Less luck elements (but not like Skillmons), but luck pays off better than currently.
- Mewtwo is the best Pokémon.
- The metagame must be FUN to play.
- Typechart should be perfectly balanced.
Typechart
The typechart gets updated. Changes and their explanation:
- Steel resists Water. Steel Pokémon are stainless and water can't do anything against some metals. However, now Steel is weak to Bug, while Bug resists Steel. Bugs are too small and can penetrate it. Electric won't be super effective on Steel, since stainless steel is a very poor conductor of electricity.
- Ghost resists Psychic. Ghosts haunt Psychics and have super effective moves against them, so they resists Psychic powers too now.
- Poison is super effective against Water and Poison resists Water, since poisoned water is a big no-no and water can't really easily cleanse poisons like, say, cyanide.
- Dragon-types are thoroughly changed: Ice is now neutral against Dragons. Most of them already have secondary types weak to Ice-type anyways. Dragons will always have STAB on Fire-type attacks (but never a double STAB), furthermore, Dragon-types are all immune to Fire attacks. Why? Because they are fucking dragons, that's why; they breathe fire, they live in lava mountains. Screw you, other types, Dragon is supposed to be the legendary type. Dragons now resist the Bug-type as puny bugs won't do shit to an almighty Dragon. Dark-types are resisted too as Dragons aren't scared of them. Normal- and Poison- types resisted as well since they can't dream of damaging a powerful Dragon. However, Fighting-types hit now Dragons super effectively as they are heroes that can slay even the most dangerous beasts and will resists Dragons. Additionally, now Normal- and Ice-types resist Dragon hits, for they can conquer with their strong spirit even these mighty creatures. Fairy-type changes still apply.
- Water now hits Ice super effectively and otherwise, as cold water melts ice and super cold ice freezes cold water.
- Poison is now immune to Poison. Self explanatory.
- Bug hits now Psychic-types with neutral damage. What can a puny bug do to Psychic types? (I know Psychic are weak to common fears, but Psychics need to be buffed to have more presence on OU).
- Psychic-types resist Normal damage now. Too stupid for them.
- Psychic-types are now weak to Fairy-type, though.
Added a new weather, Toxic Rain, and a new ability that sets it for 5 turns, Contamination, and an item that will make its duration 8 turns, Toxic Rock. Toxic Rain increases the accuracy of Poison-type moves to 100%, and hits non-Poison-, non-Bug-, and non-Steel-types by 1/16 every turn. It also lowers Defense and Special Defense to these without the aforementioned types or the Poison Heal or Toxic Body(new) abilities.
Hail is now granting a 50% damage increase to all Ice-type damaging moves.

Clauses
Ubers have no clauses whatsoever but Species Clause. OU by now has Evasion Clause, OHKO Moves Clause, Species Clause, also Soul Dew and Ubers banned.
Notes on the metagame
- Despite Ferrothorn's new status as great spinner, it can be now OHKOd by Bug Bite / Bug Buzz / Signal Beam.
- Despite Dragons looking OP, Sawk murders most of them.
- Chansey and Blissey are now excellent walls against special Dragons and the first can even take a couple of Outrages.
- Ice and Poison types are much better, usable in OU now.
- Ampharos is OU usable now without its Mega.
- Dragons have changed from neutral hitters to defensive tanks. If they look OP to you, wait to see your dragon OHKOd by a non-STAB Close Combat or Focus Blast.
