Breeding Variants V4
Have you ever seen those cool fanart posts where someone makes drawings of a Pokemon and what they would look like if their offspring took traits from their breeding partner? This Pet Mod will take this concept and put it into a playable form. It'll work something like this:
Submission Rules
You would start with a "base" Pokemon that will take traits from a chosen breeding partner, or "donor", from the same egg group; Baby Pokemon take on the egg group of their parent(s).
 
 
Let's use these two Pokémon as an example. As the base, Eelektross would take the following traits from Chandelure:
- A type to replace one of his current ones
- 5 moves from Chandelure’s movepool
- One of Chandelure’s abilities
- Average out one of Chandelure’s base stats with his corresponding stat, like this: (95 + 145) / 2
- Some sort of fitting suffix to denote the newly made alternate form
- A dex entry (optional but help for flavor!)
In the end, it'll look something like this:

Name: Eelektross-Luminous (Eelektross + Chandelure)
Egg Group: Amorphous
Stats: 85 / 115 / 80 / 125 / 80 / 50 (535 BST)
Type:
		 
	
		 
	
New Moves: Will-O-Wisp, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, Calm Mind
Abilities: Levitate / Flash Fire
Dex Entry: This is just optional but helpful for flavor, so just be sure to make something cool and concise for your sub.
	
	
		
			
	
Other submission rules include;
Base
Formats
Unlike past iterations, V4 will use NatDex OU as the basis, with all moves available, no Z-Crystals, no Dynamax, no Tera, but yes to Mega Evolution (given V1 has Megas), and there will be three variants;
Breeding Variants V4 (NatDex OU with Breeding Variants and no Tera nor Z-Moves; Dynamax already banned in NatDex)
Breeding Variants V4 No Megas (Same as above, but all Megas banned for lower power level)
Breeding Variants V4 SV Cup (SV OU with Breeding Variants from V1-V4 added, even if base / donor were dexited)

Dex Entry:
- Avoiding the use of previously used bases AND donors. This includes all returning winners from V1, V2 and V3.
- Donors does not give item-exclusive benefits, which include but not limited Thick Club, Eviolite, Light Ball and a Mega Stone. Bases can still have the compatible item-exclusive benefits though.
- Max of 5 submissions at once.
- Keep your subs balanced in mind for Gen 5-7 OU, as the removal of Z-Moves + Tera, alongside banned Dynamax, might lower the power level similar to Gen 6-7.
- If the base has a Mega Evolution, follow the Mix and Mega formula in this OP of the thread for their respective Mega Stone: Mix and Mega thread
- Unlike past iterations, same-gender Pokémon and genderless Pokémon can mix via Ditto Goo (a material from SV), as long as their Egg Group matches. Conversely, Undiscovered Egg Group Pokémon still cannot mix even with Ditto Goo, as not even Ditto itself can breed with any of these Pokémon.- Baby Pokémon are exceptions as they instead uses the same Egg Group as their evolved form(s)… but given their low stats, why would you?
 
Base
- Based on NatDex Tiers, Pokémon tiered as RUBL, or ranked A- or higher in NatDex UU / OU are not allowed to be bases. The UU+ ban is to prevent subs from devolving into "make an already good Pokemon even better", especially with Mega Evolution in mind.
- If the Mega Evolution is ranked A- or higher in the aforementioned tiers, but the base is not, then the base can be used, but chances that the Breed Variant’s own Mega Evolution might be banned from the metagame.
- Slaking is banned as base due to donator surpressing it’s Truant Ability.
- Ditto is banned as base due to possible exploit with high HP and Imposter, and we don’t want to risk that.
- Ditto is also banned as donor for the same reason it's banned as a base, this time just Impostor once again.
- Smeargle is banned as donor because even with its crappy stats, Sketch along with access to the entire Field egg group would get out of hand real quickly.
- Gholdengo is banned due to how powerful absurdly powerful Ghost + Good as Gold is, and in a NatDex environment, we do not want “Gholdengo clones” with Steel or Ghost, alongside Good as Gold, as to not limit hazard removal too much with potentially high level given Mega Evolutions will be present.

  The Mega Evolution of this fusion would be fine, given that Lightning Rod isn’t a helpful Ability in Singles with it’s typing in mind, and Heavy Slam relies on lower (but still usable) Attack.
