Flower Gift doesn't boost Special Attack and Special Defense, it boosts Attack and Special Defense.

Hi, your metagame seems like a cool idea. Didn't see any typos, but shouldn't Sand Veil, Snow Cloak, and Wonder Skin be banned? They boost evasion always due to new mechanics, reducing the game to pure 50-50's.

You have Growth as working outside of Sun, when it does anyway. It raises the Att & SpAtt by two stages in the Sun instead of one normally!

A weird nitpick: Thick fat halves the attacking stat of all Pokemon during damage calculation.
Imperator Romanum
Yup, so does Heatproof. Effectively doubling the bulk of a bunch of mons

I may be wrong, but I think Adaptability should boost the power of attacks by 1.33x instead of 1.5x because normally it changes the STAB multiplier from 1.5x to 2x and 2 divided by 1.5 is roughly 1.33
OriolesFan52
You should add that iron ball makes you neutral to ground also.

Hiya, I'm asking about the consistency in how abilites/moves/whatever work. I see the general idea of having abilities removed of their 'clause' as it were but it seems like many abilities still retain a certain clause, or have two clauses/ifs for which you chose one to be removed. Other abilities are not even decided by any clause at all and just seem to be general buffs (e.g. download, instead of activating on switch-in it now activates every turn: why every turn and not every move/every second/every whatever, the original effect had nothing to do with turns.)
Anyway, I see how you tried to balance it out by not making some abilities too overpowered (e.g. Bulletproof which normally blocks attacks if they're bullet-based, for which the clause wasn't removed since it'd make chesnaught unkillable with a sub up). However, if you're trying to make this an 'official' meta it might be nicer if there was either consistency in the buffs or if the meta was renamed to something like ability buff. Cause now to play this meta you basically have to just memorize what all abilities do: it's not always obvious from the clause idea what an ability should be doing in this meta. I've included a list of abilities/moves that I think are subjectively put in and can be changed, depending on what everyone thinks. If not, you could try setting a number of general guidelines to what the abilities will be instead of determining the effect of every ability on its own.

-Do pokemon with dry skin lose 1/8th of their HP every turn? It's reasonable to assume it would work the same way as Solar Power.
-Flare Boost increases Special Attack by 1.5x
-Fur Coat: Halves damage from all moves?
-Illusion: I think this needs to change, but I'm not entirely sure how.
-Pressure: Increases PP usage of all moves, not just ones that target the Pressure user.
-Sniper: All moves are 1.5x as strong? the description is "Powers up moves if they become critical hits"
-Snow Cloak: 1.25x evasion
-Toxic Boost: 1.5x Attack
-Tangled feet: 2x Evasion at all times
-Thick fat: Raises resistance to all moves? i'm not sure. I've noticed some abilities in the OP ignore type-specific effects and some don't.
-Pickpocket: steals the pokemon's held item upon being hit by an attack.
-Plus and Minus: boosts special attack by 1.5x?
-Rattled: raises speed one stage upon being hit by a move?
-Rivalry: raises attack
-Unnerve: prevents opponent's from consuming their item
