Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
No move actually has a set base power, it is determined by luck of the draw like the move Present currently does. The move's typing is retained, so Fire type moves will still deal Fire type damage.
Rules:
- You may nominate one metagame. If a metagame has already been nominated, do not nominate it again.
- Do not nominate metagames from the blacklist (below), or those whose thread has been locked.
- Do not try to influence other voters and do not bash any metagame.
- You are not allowed to make any posts except to nominate, and your account must be at least one week old by the time of your post.
- If another user breaks these rules, let the OM leaders take care of it.
If any of the above rules are broken, your post will be deleted. Continued rule breaking will result in an infraction.
A list of all the metagames can be found in the Index.
Slayer95 may choose to reject a metagame if it has not been coded and is deemed too difficult.
