While not necessarily benefiting defensive Pokemon, it would inherently benefit offensive attackers with enough coverage to abuse newly formed x4 and even x8 weaknesses in many of the Pokemon which previously didn't had it On top of that, it doesn't benefit mono-typed Pokemon as much as...

Winning Move This metagame is basically normal OU metagame in which players have a new, optional win condition: Use move of every type in the game! As soon as player uses moves of all 18 different types, no matter if Physical, Special or Status... player wins immediately. In this metagame...

Is it fine to come up with new ideas of OMs even if they wouldn't be considered for this but rather new generation? Of course I don't see them being accepted now or anything, rather just to throw ideas around for preparation for next gen.

I did include two more ideas in the post worth mentioning about Metagame! Thought I could mention in there too!

Pocket Moves The idea behind this new Metagame is very simple: Each Pokemon have access to normal 4 moves with their normal pp amounts... no tweaks to abilities, just standard OU format for the most part... And then there is a twist: Each Pokemon have also have access to fifth (5th) move with...

Hmm... I will miss old Enchanted Items... But I thing new Multibility is much better than EI, allowing you to choose between all items OR all not banned extra abilities. For some mons propably old sets will work great also on 7 gen, but with some nerf in play... A lot of abilities are also for...

On single format - yes, that doesn't really matter. The only diffrence is just in 5 accuracy and we swap name of new usually used move... thats it... If we think also about Spore... well... That one is actually blocked by SOMETHING... not only Insomnia/Vital Spirit/Magic Bounce (that one...

Hmm... I could see here high crit chance sets being second the most eficient way to deal with Nature Fear. Ignoring your debuf on Attack could be handy, and ignoring positive boost on defense from Contrary pokemon. is also something what we could deal with. Another strategy what could work...

What about Simple + Geomancy + Cottom Guard Combo? With Stored Power? Even when you face Unaware pokemon, you still have sick 380 base power move. And other teammates can pass Mold Breaker (Now it didn't work, but if it start work...), and because of nature of PiC, you have absolutly no problem...

All people wonder how broken Sturdy Fear strategy could be... While simple Leftovers break a Sturdy if pokemon is not on full HP. Also... have in mind that FEAR after loosing all HP will also HEAL oponent first, if they decide to actually do damage. That means that Magnemite will never kill...

Armaldo + Regenerator and Head Smash I like this option the most.

Hmm... Ditto might be really good because of ability to have potencialy two mega/OU pokemons in team. Also... Rotom Forms might be usefull because of good stats... Scyther also is really good one: really solid speed, attack, acces to Eviolite, boosting in SD, coverage enought good for sweaping...

What about Hidden Power? Technicaly it doesn't matter what a type this move will have, you always use the same move. It that means if one pokemon use HP Fire, oponent will not be able to use HP Ice for example? Also... Encore might be interesting move in this metagame. If we can block oponent...

The trick is gaining that stats first before Ferrothorn will beat this pokemon after paralysing AND knocking out. While Gyro Ball will not deal more damage, reduced by 25% healing on move with 8 pp's and 25% chance to lose turn means Maractus will have big problem dealing with that Ferrothorn...

This Maractus is weak to pokemon with Unaware... Or Prankster Haze... Yeah, you have guaranted Ferrothorn, but if oponent have pokemon against set-up sweaper, this set will also fail against him. Still - this pokemon can win with any team with Ferrothorn AND wihout anti set up sweaper pokemon...

I just realize something about Ilusion: Because we can't change order of pokemons, Ilusion will ALWAYS looking like last pokemon in team (I mean when team is created, "last" pokemon means the most on right. I will write a lot about "last" pokemon, so have in mind what a "last" pokemon I...

What about Ilusion? This ability is so good with a lot of others abilities: Any immunnity to type, Magic Guard, Magic Bounce, Prankster, Regenerator... Even Zoroark can easly find something for him, but because Zoroark can have only Ilusion from natural abilities, we can expect when oponent...

Hmm... really interesting moveset I must say... I think I could use this one... one day... But I write post because information about Knock Off. Someone told me this move DOES gain buff even when you can't remove oponents item when give ability. I hear someone test it... Sadly I can't show...

I just test with Aaryan1 two thing: First: combo Weak Armor + Contrary Shuckle - how will react this combination against contact move. We now know is correct for sure: after contact move, Shuckle boost defensive stat and debuff speed. Second: how Acrobatics will work with item with ability...

Item (if I remember corectly) are unremovable by any move and abilities. Knock Off will deal normal damage (not boosted by x1.5) and item will stay on pokemon. You have no recoil and you gain damage boost... But I have question: Why you use Reckles and Rock Head? If you have natural Reckles -...
