Welcome to the third Camove Cash Cup, a major tournament solely featuring the Other Meta Mashup of Camove Chaos. Camove is a mashup based in Gen 9 National Dex, which adds the Camomons Mod while removing the Obtainable Moves Clause. This means that Pokemon can use any move (with some bans)to becomeany type. When the Camomons Mod is applied, every Pokemon's type becomes the types of its first two moveslots. When the Obtainable Moves Clause is removed, every Pokemon is able to use every move that isn't banned in the ruleset.
Zeraora is an example of a mon that takes advantage of all of Camove's distinct mechanics:
:ss/zeraora:
Zeraora @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty / Timid Nature
- Steam Eruption
- Oblivion Wing
- Nasty Plot
- Knock Off / Earth Power / Psystrike / Secret Sword
The tier's National Dex legality allows for both the use of mons not present in SV, such as Zeraora, and the use of dexited moves such as Oblivion Wing, Pursuit, and Spectral Thief. Through its most commonly used move Oblivion Wing and its status as a mon only usable in past generations, Zeraora makes use of both of the effects of the National Dex modifier. Additionally, it utilizes the Camomons modifier highly effectively, primarily using Electric-weak types -- most commonly Water/Flying and Steel/Flying -- that leave it with one or few weaknesses due to its Volt Absorb ability. All of Zeraora's unique traits compound to make it a powerful offensive threat, giving it the position of the sole holder of S Rank on the tier's official Viability Rankings.
