Introduction
Welcome to my pet mod, Skillmons. This is nothing like Joimmons, this pet mod has a goal in mind: to make Pokémon 100% competitive. Nothing is left to luck here. Post here comments, ideas, possibilities, and in the future replays.

We all have lost or won due to hax. We've seen a critical hit or a fully paralysed change the game. That's not cool. We are a competitive community and, as such, I deem necessary to have a fully competitive metagame. The goal of this pet mod is to reduce chance to zero and to make every fully evolved Pokémon good enough to compete. BST might be the only problem here and might lead to some bans. I want the game to be luckless and balanced with the least amount of changes possible.

Anyone is free to suggest changes, but I will ultimately decide what's changed and what isn't.

Tl;dr, skillmons in a minute:
  • No critical hits. BP and damage are adjusted.
  • No misses. BP and damage are adjusted.
  • Any turn skipped is planned and predictable.
  • Durations for statuses and moves are fixed.
  • Damage outcome is reliable.
  • Setting statuses, boosts, debuffs, pseudo-statuses is down to skill and ability, not luck.
  • Using a current 30% secondary move will lead to the expected number of times of activation.
  • Accuracy increases damage when applicable, evasion decreases it.
Key changes explained:
  • Critical hits are removed entirely.
    • As such, 100% critical hits are revamped as well as abilities. Their damage is updated and they do ignore defenses.
    • Moves that had high critical rate have their base power increased accordingly.
  • Accuracy as such is removed.
    • All moves are revamped accordingly.
    • The Base Power is updated due to this change. The new base power is: Old Base Power * Old Accuracy / 100.
    • It affects move with less accuracy.
  • Paralyse status will no longer make you skip turns. Instead, it will reduce the effectivity of all your moves by a 25%.
  • Sleep always lasts two turns: the turn it is applied and the next one. This is the expected average outcome of a 1-3 status.
  • Speed ties are done for: in case of equal speed, the Pokémon with more HP will move faster, then the Pokémon with less weight, then the shorter one. In case of total tie, the Pokémon with less teammates, then the Pokémon whose overall team speed is greater, then, in case of exactly equal teams, a coin will be flipped.
  • Secondaries are now assured. Each time you use a move with a secondary, you gain secondary points (kinda like Stockpile). These points will produce this secondary effect upon reaching 100 or more points. The points are for the player, not the Pokémon in the field. Old secondary chances now award points, for example, Scald gives you 30 points. Upon reaching 100+ of those points, the status happens and 100 points are reduced from the player. Points for status won't increase if the target already has a status, ie. if a Wartortle uses Scald on a Paralyzed Ivysaur, it won't get the 30 burn points. Points won't apply either if the target faints. Moves that used to have less than perfect accuracy grant less points to their secondaries. All points start at 50.
  • Confusion is no longer something that makes you rage. Now it halves the effect of your moves, as old confusion made you skip 50% of the turns, and hits yourself every turn by half the current confusion damage.
  • All evasion modifiers and moves will now be helpful for defense.
  • Infatuation halves the effect of your moves.
  • Flinch still works as it works currently, but with the new secondary move mechanics. Fake out still works as right now. If you get to 100 flinch points on a slower mon, bad luck.
  • Damage is no longer random. Random elements of the damage formula is scrapped.
  • OHKO moves now deal a fix 30% max HP damage on target. If you use Lock-On or Mind Reader before using them, they do deal 100% of max HP damage.
  • All multihit moves become three-hit moves, as that's the average. Their Base Power is updated accordingly.
  • All partial trapping and trapping moves are 5 turns now.
  • Exact HP Mod is active. Exact HP is known at all times.
  • Protecting moves work now as follows:
    • First consecutive use, full protection (or the protection it offers right now).
    • Second use: Halves all effects. Half the damage, half the points.
    • Third use: Reduces damage and points by 25%.
    • Fourth use: Reduces damage and points by 12.5%.
    • Fifth use: reduces damage and points by 6.25%
    • Sixth use: reduces damage and points by 3.125%
    • Seventh use: reduces damage and points by 1.5625
    • And so on.

Secondaries are now assured. Each time you use a move with a secondary, you gain a volatile (just like Stockpile). This volatile will produce this secondary effect upon reaching 100% cap. This will vary between moves.
can you please explain this point better

When you use stockpile, you gain a stockpile charge. Then you either have boost or use spit to fire. In Skillmons, it's like this:
You ice beam. Damage. You get a volatile on yourself that's +1 ice.
After the third ice beam, you get +3 ice. Then the opponent is frozen and your ice volatile resets to 0.
 
I am concerned that stall could be incredibly overpowered in this meta, as there are no crits to bypass defense boosts, and offensive teams will likely be using a lot of recoil moves. Additionally, you buffed poison. Do you have any plans of trying to mitigate this, or is stall likely to just be a much more viable playstyle?

Either way it doesn't matter to me, i'm just glad there will finally be a metagame where i can pit my mind against someone else's without having to rely on chance. Good Luck, and i can't wait to try it out! ^_^

Yeah, the idea is for stall to be viable, but there are going to be more ways to lower defences (like current evasion debuffs).

I will post the huge list of changes tomorrow and will have the mod up for testing this weekend.
 
This looks awesome, I hate luck, and while I don't 100%(more like 95%) agree with no megas, I can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.
 
Yeah we need to nerf Inferno. I'm glad we have that accuracy clause thing. Other than that, seems pretty cool! Stall doesn't like you nerfing Scald, but other than that, it's happy!
 
this seems like a fun project. of course one concern with no-luck games is that they can become way more about memorizing information, and can be way more solvable once people take them really seriously. if you know exactly how much damage you're going to take every single time, you can infer more about EV spreads, for example, so that could become more important. i assume damage variance is totally gone too?

I don't think you can make that possible on showdown.

Shouldn't Double Protect/King's Shield/Detect etc also be modified because they are completely reliant on luck, maybe they fail of you use them twice in a row?

I've scrapped some of the custom changes that don't decrease luck but rather attempted to balance the result. I think it's better if I first add only luck removing changes and then I might add custom changes to balance the result. As such, I've hidden (deleted) the posts that talk about those changes. I might get those changes back, since I might revive Joimmons for gen 6.

how does zap cannon/ inferno work?
also, what clauses apply?
Right now, only endless battle clause. We will see what clauses we add. Both Zap Cannon and Inferno have been "nerfed", wait for full changelog to see.

I don't think you can make that possible on showdown.
It is possible and I'm going to do it at the beginning.

They work first time properly, then next time they reduce damage by 50% (but not status), and so on. So you change a 50% of full protection by half a protection (the average outcome) and so on.

Remember: In standard, Detect's failure rate never drops below 50%. Spiky Shield has 1/3rd chance of succeeding on a second consecutive use.

Speaking of Spiky Shield, what happens to the contact damage from that move on consecutive uses? Does it reduce by a third on the second use, and so on?
 
LOL
I would remove OHKOs from the game entirely, but a move you have to hit 15 times without switching is humorous. Actually there might be a sweet spot number that makes it seem possible, when in fact it is mostly counterable. I want to say OHKOs are unhealthy for a game like this, but then again we already have super effective one shots. (No sorry, but that was hydro pump, not volt switch. You lose Gliscor.)

formerly The Reptile
honestly the best coarse of action imo is to just rework the OHKO moves into different moves (i.e. make Fissure a physial Ground-type Draco, ect.)

idk how Joim wants to do it though
 
I mean assuming it's on a 100-point system, 15 points per attack would mean 'sit there and do nothing for 6 turns in a row, then finally get a OHKO, but they know it's happening so they can easily do a smart sacrifice.'

I'm not so sure about status working like Swallow (that resets when you switch out, right?). Sounds like status would happen really rarely except from status-specific moves. Like with Blaze Kick we're talking "hit them with blaze kick five times without dying or ever being forced to switch out," I just don't see that happening and WoW doesn't miss anymore. I think a lot of interesting strategy could arise if it carried over through switches, like using a bulkier pokemon to set up 70+ points in paralysis and freeze, and then switch in a boltbeamer or something.
 
Ideally those kinds of moves wouldn't burn. Ever. There's nothing more infuriating that correctly predicting a flamethrower only to get your Azumarill burned. I'd almost rather they just KO'd something.

Some moves like discharge and scald though are relied on regularly for their status since the chance is so high, and are expected by the opponent too. It's hard to get upset with a scald burn when they are so common. The volatile system prevents random stupid status like ice beam freezing your Empoleon for 6 turns (it has happened to me), while preserving the fact that water types could burn you. We really just don't need blaze kick to burn anything ever, and shouldn't make rules to allow it to dependably, even if infrequently. I also don't need to memorize the volatiles on every Pokemon for every move they have on both teams.
 
well if they're going to have a secondary effect at all, it might as well be one that actually happens sometimes hahaha. I think it's cool that you could maybe set up a situation where both players know a burn will happen, so they temporarily can't use the same counter they'd normally run with.

Focus Blast with 100 Accuracy sounds better but seemingly overpowered, so it would work as a Special Attacking Close Combat or works like Focus Punch (which if applied, change BP to 150).

Also, Scald would only burn with 20 or 30 burn points (depended on how much this move can be sometimes irritating) and Flinching moves gives 30 flinch points each (flinching now forces target to move last, not to skip like Paralyzis).

Severe Grace now gives 10 more points to user in order that the effect comes earlier.
 
Charge Beam should be 40 base power, not 25. Unless you are also planning to nerf Power-up Punch, that is.

Flinch has no reason to only force moving last, as it only triggers on guaranteed increments now. Especially since how would that even work? You flinch them this turn and they're guaranteed to go last on the next turn?
 
Every type now has strong moves? I'm slightly worried about that. There's a reason Dark doesn't have any ~120 BP moves, and that's cause it would be pretty fucking scary.
