Approved by Arcticblast

Hey, guys! I've seen the resounding success of many OMs here on the forums. I am hoping to have another successful OM created - Mergemons.

The concept for this metagame is simple. It is similar to regular OU. All stats are the same, all types are the same, all abilities are the same, and all movepools are the same – except for one difference. Every fully evolved Pokemon is grouped up with two other Pokemon. The boldened Pokemon in the group can now use every move that any of the group members can use.

The list of Pokemon groups will be shown below.

NFEs get the moves of their full evos. That means Chansey gets Bouffalant's moves (like Blissey), for example.
Plus, all move illegalities are fixed as long as the moves are acquirable from R/S/E onward. (No Lovely Kiss Nidoking.)
Meloetta-P and Darmanitan-Z are now legal as standalone Pokemon in Mergemons.
Another thing: WOBBUFFET IS NOW BANNED, ALONGISDE ITS PRE-EVO, WYNAUT. See Wobbuffet's notable moves thing for reasons. (Quite simply, Shadow Tag + Perish Song + recovery = broken)

Where can you play this metagame? Simple. You can play it anywhere on Showdown with the Custom Game option. I usually hang out on Joim's Lab, the OMs room on the main server, infinite.psim.us/dundealsplace, or Oiawesome's server to play it, however.

So try it out! Get out there! And remember: The Merge the merrier! (new slogan thanks to Snaquaza)

You missed the most important new move for Ampharos: Synthesis. The only thing it really lacked was reliable recovery, and now it has it, along with Spore.

Ampharos @ Ampharosite
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Synthesis
- Spore
- Dragon Pulse
- Thunderbolt

As far as sweepers go, Tail Glow Volcarona is a huge threat, as is Shell Smash Clefable, Dragon Dance Hawlucha, Shell Smash Basculin, Dragon Dance Trevenant, Shell Smash Crobat, Quiver Dance Venusaur, Shell Smash Tornadus, Quiver Dance Virizion, Shell Smash Goodra, Shell Smash Houndoom (mega), Dragon Dance Ambipom, Dragon Dance Samurott, are all big threats.

At first I though Sticky Web might be more viable with some better setters, but Klinklang, Leafeon, Armaldo, Marowak, and Gallade are not exactly OU viable Pokemon.

Aegislash is great with recover. Sacred Fire Escavelier, Dark Void Cryogonal.

Also, are Ubers supposed to be in here? Rayquaza, Palkia, and Darkrai are, but none of the others.

All Ubers are, Ho-oh / Honchcrow, Lugia / Lumineon, etc...

What happens with NFE pokemon, do they get the same moves their evolved forms get? Are there any move restrictions (like Gen 6 eggs with Gen 5 tutors, etc...)?

All the Ubers are there if you look hard enough, but they're only there to lend their movepools.

What happens with NFE pokemon, do they get the same moves their evolved forms get? Are there any move restrictions (like Gen 6 eggs with Gen 5 tutors, etc...)?
  1. Yes they do.
  2. No move restrictions unless the move is from G/S/C or further back. This means no Lovely Kiss Nidoking, but Wish+Counter Blissey is okay.
 
Charizard
Notable new moves: Boomburst, Encore, Nasty Plot, U-turn, Chatter
Well shit. Combine your already sky-high attack with Nasty Plot AND boomburst.
also has some decent bulk on the special side so it can get a chance to setup.

But after STAB, Fire Blast is more powerful than Boomburst

On a different note, Tail Glow/Quiver Dance Volcarona (either sweep or wall break), Shell Smash Goodra, Shell Smash Tornadus, Quiver Dance Venusaur, and Snorlax are going to really good in this meta. A lot of pokes can patch up their coverage as well. Keldeo gets Ice Beam. Landorus gets ice beam and fusion flare. Talonflame get EQ, knock off, and power whip. Gengar gets every damn special move under the sun, and gesect gets focus blast in return. Manaphy can forgo ice beam and energy ball to run freeze dry. Medicham can run sucker punch/knock off, and M-Mawile gets the elemental punches, drain punch, and bullet punch. Scizor get EQ. Raikou gets ice beam and fire blast. Durant gets EQ, Iron Tail (boosted by hone claws), and wild charge. A ton of defensive threats get reliable recovery now, like M-Aggron, Rotom, M-Venu, Donphan, Empoleon, and Bronzong. Other cool things are Froslass w/ every hazard and rapid spin, Jirachi with the 60% chance to burn, and oblivion wing Yanmega.

Also, OP, Corsola, while not deserving to be fully evolved, is, and is not on this list. IDK how you will handle this, but you should try to figure something out without disrupting the whole list

I've got an idea.
(edits OP)
There we go, Corsola is now one of two Pokemon to get Sketch once.
 
Xatu@Power Herb
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs:252 SAtk/216 Spd/40 HP
Modest Nature
-Geomancy
-Psyshock
-Moonblast
-Heat Wave/Focus Blast

Actually looks like lots of fun.
 
Sticky Web:
Armaldo
Gallade
Shifty
Marowak
Klinklang
Leafeon

Armaldo, Gallade, Klinklang, and Leafeon all are usuable in my opinion, but I could be wrong. Thoughts?
 
Pair Linoone up with Stoutland and you get this monstrosity:

Stoutland @ Life Orb
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Extreme Speed
- Fire Fang
- Superpower

Here's the kind of damage we're talking about here:

+6 252+ Atk Life Orb Stoutland Extreme Speed vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 425-500 (101.1 - 119%) -- guaranteed OHKO

But they aren't able to merge.

The only mons mergable are the ones that are together in the OP. Linoone is with Lopunny and Stoutland gets Steelix.
 
539.png
(Sandslash/Sawk) Stealth Rock resistant.
398.png
(Staraptor/Starmie) Stealth Rock weak and frail.
478.png
(Forretress/Froslass) A spinblocker that spins. The irony.
085.png
(Dodrio/Donphan) Stealth Rock weak and frail.
450.png
(Hippowdon/Hitmonchan) Best defensive spinner ever?
641-s.png
(Torkoal/Tornadus) Immune to Spikes and has Regenerator. pls ban
693.png
(Clawitzer/Claydol) Like Mega Blastoise but worse.
196.png
(Espeon/Excadrill) What hazards?
482.png
(Avalugg/Azelf) Immune to Spikes and not Stealth Rock weak. Frail, though.
128.png
(Tauros/Tentacruel) Most powerful Rapid Spin in the metagame, js
036.png
(Clefable/Cloyster) Unaware Rapid Spin, sounds interesting.
124.png
(Jynx/Kabutops) Stealth Rock weak, susceptible to Spikes, and frail (mostly on the physical side).
301.png
(Delcatty/Delibird) No.
338.png
(Solrock+Spinda) Pretty much like Azelf but with worse stats.
168.png
(Ariados+Armaldo) Sticky Web+Rapid Spin. Not much else to see here.
Thinking about Tornadus, dang. This guy looks ban-worthy at a glance. Here's a utility set:

641-s.png
with
assaultvest.png

Ability: Regenerator
Nature and EVs: standard Assault Vest build, I can't remember
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Air Slash

Being immune to Spikes and having Regenerator, Tornadus makes a (if not THE) perfectly capable Rapid Spinner. It can Knock Off items, U-turn on out to gain back HP, and use Air Slash (or Hurricane, but that accuracy) for primary STAB.

Now, here's a Shell Smash set:

641-s.png
with
lifeorb.png

Ability: Regenerator
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 4 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spe
- Shell Smash
- Hurricane/Air Slash
- Fire Blast/Earth Power/Focus Blast
- Fire Blast/Earth Power/Focus Blast

At first, I thought Torkoal only provided Rapid Spin and Fire moves (Earth Power as well) to Tornadus, then I saw somebody mention Shell Smash and I was like "whoa." Honestly, the power is strong with this one.


Moving on...
596.png
475.png

Two of my favorite Pokémon have come together. I am not disappointed. One set for each, coming right up.

596.png
with
focussash.png


Ability: Unnerve/Swarm
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spe
- Sticky Web
- Volt Switch
- Bug Buzz
- Destiny Bond

Galv got a handy little tool from Gallade: Destiny Bond. This allows it to set up the web and/or get a guaranteed KO on whatever tries to kill it.

475.png
with
leftovers.png

Ability: Steadfast/Justified
Nature: Adamant/Brave
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def
- Sticky Web
- Drain Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Shadow Sneak/Volt Switch

Gallade, meanwhile, got Sticky Web, the new hazard of this generation, in return. Gallade is pretty bulky, too, and has quite some offensive power behind it. You can also run Volt Switch (even though Gallade's SpA is terrible) to get some nice momentum and switch from anything not Ground-typed.


Also, Azumarill can set up Trick Room. ON ITS OWN. (I'd add that and Knock Off to Azumarill's notable new moves, but that's just me.)
184.png
with whatever item, I dunno
Ability: Huge Power
Nature: Brave
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 SpD
- Trick Room
- Waterfall
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch/Shadow Sneak/Knock Off

Oh, okay. I didn't fully understand what was going on here.

Still, you do have Belly Drum Extremespeed Lax, but it won't be quite as nasty without Scrappy.
 
Guys, guess what? Talonflame got even scarier:

Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off / Power Whip

Tangrowth gives it the fastest Sleep in the tier bar Jolteon (and I guess Liepard because of Prankster). Plus, it has no more issues with Rock-Types if it chooses to run Power Whip, but it can run Knock Off for a very powerful neutral STAB, I prefer Power Whip, because look at this:
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Tyranitar: 203-239 (50.2 - 59.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Hit it on the switch and the next turn you've removed one of Talonflame's largest Counters, oh but look at this won't ya:
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rotom-W: 257-304 (84.5 - 100%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
Ooh poor Rotom-W, Talonflame's other huge counter. Honestly, Talonflame is amazing in this metagame.

Talonflame also gets EQ to remove its other other huge counter.
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Heatran: 317-374 (82.1 - 96.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Considering nobody runs physically defensive Heatran...
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 437-515 (113.2 - 133.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
And let's check out Tyranitar.
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Tyranitar: 169-200 (41.8 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Oh... wait, who runs physically defensive Tyranitar?
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 211-250 (52.2 - 61.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The problem is Rotom-W. But you could just run Band, EQ and Power Whip...
252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 290-342 (71.7 - 84.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rotom-W: 296-350 (97.3 - 115.1%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 496-588 (128.4 - 152.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
 
Talonflame also gets EQ to remove its other other huge counter.
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Heatran: 317-374 (82.1 - 96.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Considering nobody runs physically defensive Heatran...
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 437-515 (113.2 - 133.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
And let's check out Tyranitar.
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Tyranitar: 169-200 (41.8 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Oh...

Yeah, I'd prefer running something else to deal with Heatran, as Tyranitar and Rotom-W are used a lot more.
 
Also, Azumarill can set up Trick Room. ON ITS OWN. (I'd add that and Knock Off to Azumarill's notable new moves, but that's just me.)

Oh, didn't realize. Still, Trick Room is a new one. (Looking back, though, maybe not notable.)

Speaking of Trick Room, other notable users include Exploud (from Exeggutor), Gigalith (from Girafarig), Clawitzer (from Claydol), Ursaring (from Uxie), Crawdaunt (from Cresselia), Sylveon (from Swoobat), Magnezone (from Malamar), and Carnivine (from Carbink).
