I feel like the majority of good Pokemon will just end up as fat stat sticks in the 200 range, That doesn’t sound that fun since the Pokemon lose their unique stats and it will likely be extremely stally if HP is added on.

This metagame would be boring because there are many Pokemon that don't care about their ability or benefit from having their ability removed, such as the 6 listed examples already. Removing abilities entirely also reduces the uniqueness and identity of each individual Pokemon.

Tier Shift now has Viability Rankings. Current VR

Will be voting to ban Ho-Oh. I used two teams, one of which I will not share, but the other team I used I specifically attempted to fit as many Ubers as possible. Genuinely disgusting how a 4-Uber team can do so well. https://pokepast.es/f9bb10824b8c51ed Annihilape might be banworthy...

Electric Pokemon cannot be Paralyzed whether or not Thunder Wave is an Electric type. Electric Pokemon have an immunity to Paralysis.

Electric Pokemon cannot be paralyzed. Also, make a separate bug report instead of posting in an existing one next time.

This set is legal.

What type of bug are you reporting? OM What is the bug? In Bio Mech Mons, if Ditto transforms into an opposing Pokemon with a consumable ability, upon switching out and switching back in, Ditto will have lost its Impostor ability. Are you able to replicate it? If so, how...

Time to revive discussion about banning Terastalization. I expect a ton of Pokemon will be viable as just 1-attack nukes that completely forgo their ability just to massively stack damage. Tera + Life Orb + Plate + Type item + Wise Glasses still allows 1 extra item, move, or ability. +1 (low...

Just look at https://www.smogon.com/stats/2025-06/gen9tiershift-1500.txt and https://www.smogon.com/stats/2025-06/moveset/gen9tiershift-1500.txt. The most important information you should know are that you always need a Rock move or Stealth Rock + Knock Off to beat Ho-Oh reliably, Espeon +...

happy holidays and have a happy new year
