OMM refers to mashups, we just got a subforum for it so time to promote it https://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/om-mashups.914/ The deal is that you can get similar sets by mashing up the right formats, like a classic aaa + stab gets you a lot of these sets, or anything with a base that has a...

It seems a bit redundant with convergence and omm existing, we are kind of crowded when it comes to formats of this kind.

Survey results are out, want to get them out as quickly as possible, so have a kinda unorganized collection of Pie Charts, maybe later we can discuss them. But for now Quaquaval, Landorus-I and Raging Bolt are now banned. Depending on how the discussion goes we may ban a few more things...

No as they are coded as a value in their accuracy stat, unlike something like Thunder under rain that is an additional effect that overwrites its original accuracy allowing it to be passed as a forte.

I really doubt we will see any of those again, maybe as part of some cross promotions on the TCG or anime around the time the game comes out but these seem like the kind of stuff unique to the game, sadly enough.

So it turns out this a fully priced game and some say is at the same price as Mario Kart on Japan (which would be a big concern about future Nintendo games). With that and the decently big file size for a nintendo game it may be a bigger deal than what me and many were anticipated, really hoping...

Yeah I really hate Xerneas and Metagross dictating what is viable, last month you could get away with just running anything you want as long as you kept some variety within your types, but now we are on a very centralized format. Hopefully DLC adds a bunch of high stats mons that can compete...

Correct, in general a restriction in an OM means that is excluded from the gimmick of that format. So in this case that move cant be a forte.

As it was promised, there is a survey you guys can answer to see how things will go, will most likely stay up for a week. https://www.smogon.com/forums/form/november-2025-fortemons-survey.221/select

Yeah Korrina seems to just be our Korrina after some weird off screen quest to master mega evolution or something. Diantha Jr. could actually be from another dimension thanks to Hoopa shenanigans, she doesnt seem 5yo, and I doubt Diantha was a champion, super model, movie star single mother...

I like that they are speeding up the release of the events and DLC so we can move over quickly to whatever the big 2026 project is going to be, but was expecting HOME to be updated before DLC but there hasnt been any actual dates given yet, but I imagine it will be before pokemon day. Anyway...

It could work but is much harder to get people interested on small numbers than trying to get them into the next format where everything is over 100, if there seems to be interest it could be considered, but it doesn't offer anything than other stat modifier format don't.

I will soon post a survey to gather information on any elements that seems troublesome in the format, priority will be on abusers, but also on anything not in the forte slot to preserve the identity of the format the most we can. So please complain now about anything you want in the survey. I'm...

Avalanche overwrites the damage multiplier, and now your Heavy Slam with 0 Base power gets doubled to 0.

Im a bit worried about Xerneas and Yveltal joining the format, so far you can get away with almost anything as long as you have some type variety, but these two ball of stats may be too much to ignore when deciding what mons to run, but it will depend on how seriously people play I guess...
