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.
Pokemon can only use attacking moves corresponding to its weaker offensive stat and only Pokemon with a difference of at least 50 between their two offensive stats may be used.
Standard STABmons set in Ubers with new changes like base forms being able to transfer moves to their alternate forms and mega evolutions, transferring moves from types they had in an old gen and unreleased moves being usable.
Swaps the highest stat and lowest stat of each Pokemon. If there are multiple highest and lowest (so if both Attack and Defense are highest), they are switched together.
OK Any votes after this will NOT count. Stay tuned while I count votes and whine about it in the OM room.
Don't expect results to be posted very soon however as there's 300 votes + maybe two different metas I have to sift through. So, 600~ votes to go through.
Rules:
- You may nominate one metagame. If a metagame has already been nominated, do not nominate it again.
- You must make your nomination bold. I'm mostly bringing back this rule to more easily weed out people who are not reading the op.
- If you want to change your nomination, you need to delete your post containing the old nomination and post a new one with the changed nom.
- Do not nominate metagames from the blacklist (below), or those whose thread has been locked/placed in archive.
- Do not try to influence other voters and do not bash any metagame. Asking people to vote for a metagame in the OM room may lead to moderation actions being taken from roomauth.
- 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 us 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.
