I really appreciate how easy it is to build teams in Pokémon Showdown, and I feel as though a simple feature of move usage stats for each Pokémon's movedex would be a great addition. In my mind, it would look something like this (I used inspect element to put this together so it's not perfect)...

The only similarity between Follow the Leader and Team Captains is the sharing of the movepool, but even then, Pokémon in Team Captains still have access to their own moves. Abilities aren't shared in this OM, either, and the Team Captain in Team Captains would receive some sort of buff, while...

Berries, Focus Sashes, and Booster Energies would fall under Specific Item Clause for Team Captains, which blocks all perishable items for the exact reasons you mentioned. I honestly had the same thought you had regarding these items so I get that lol. Funny thing is, my concern was the idea...

Team Captains Premise: The Pokémon in the first slot on your team is considered your "Team Captain." This produces the following effects: All other Pokémon on your team are able to run moves from your team captain's movepool, in addition to their own movepool (This does not mean that the team...

Electric Terrain Hyper Offense: https://pokepast.es/141d761b7eb4ce91 Surprisingly, Electrode-Hisui is an amazing Electric Terrain setter! This team abuses Unburden Sneasler with an Electric Seed, runs Iron Valiant and Iron Leaves for heavy hitters, has Talonflame for a defensive pivot, and uses...

Doubilities Premise: Pokémon may have an ability in their item slot rather than an item. If this is the case, the Pokémon can have two abilities simultaneously. Another way of thinking this is that any Pokémon can have one of their regular abilities, coupled with a second ability of their...

Blitzmons Premise: Upon switch-in, Pokémon automatically use the first move in their move slots. The move in question can be (almost) anything. Below are a few example sets for an OM of this type: Potential Bans: Fake Out and First Impression would also be banned from the first...

Just wanna throw this out there, this OM would be so much more fun if Trick, Thief, Fling, Pickpocket, Knock Off, etc. worked on item moves the same way that it worked on items.

Farigiraf may be too overpowered for this OM Farigiraf (M) @ chargebeam Ability: Armor Tail Tera Type: Fighting EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Agility - Beat Up - Twin Beam - Tera Blast Farigiraf has the potential to 6-0 nearly every time it leads in a game of...

While snowballing would be a concern, I don't think it would be as prevalent as you say due to the fact that there would be a lot of counterplay. For example, attacks that always lower stats would counter attacks that always raise them. Unaware, Clear Smog, and Haze would be everywhere. If you...

Dynamoves Premise: Every attacking move, in addition to their usual effect, gains the effect of its Dynamax move. For example, Flamethrower will have a 10% chance to burn AND automatically set up harsh sunlight, Brave Bird will cause recoil AND automatically boost speed, Moonblast will have a...

Hey all, I'm making this suggestion after too many times that players, either after I beat them or they beat me, sending some off-hand remark through PMs then immediately blocking me. I usually report them because of how annoying it is, but it happens too frequently to not at least make a...

This isn't a team posting but just throwing this out there, anyone who doesn't nickname Annihilape to Trippie Dedd is making a mistake, It's dead Primeape for starters, and secondly... ((( I MISS THE RAGE ))) ((( I MISS THE RAGE ))) ((( I MISS THE RAGE ))) ((( I MISS THE RAGE ))) ((( I MISS THE...

https://pokepast.es/bf01447772cb3e69 With Gallade's new Sharpness ability, it's a very powerful offensive threat, so I thought I'd make a team that abuses it. The rest of the team has good synergy, with Scream Tail as a SpDef Wish-passing pivot, HDB Flame Charge Chi-Yu, Rocky Helmet Great Tusk...

https://pokepast.es/c17c0c3381115922 Galarian Articuno in OU Scarfticuno takes three Pokémon per game with Freezing Glare and Air Slash easily, and Aurora Veil, Spikes & Stealth Rock bait Defogs to activate Competitive.
