What is Cool Funky Mode?
CFM is a Pet Mod designed and programmed by our supreme emperor thechurchofcage. The goal of this metagame is to resolve issues with the main games that we consider unhealthy, strange or uneccessary.

Here's some examples of our lord's magic:​

  • Stealth Rocks have had their damage output halved, and their distribution is reduced to Rock types, some Ground types, and very select few others. Toxic, Scald and Protect have also had their distribution cut.
  • Toxic Spikes and Aurora Veil have been entirely removed, and the Mega Latis and the Mega Mewtwos have their mega stones unreleased.
  • Water types cannot be burned, and Fire types cannot be frozen.
  • Hail now boosts Ice moves by 1.3x and reduces the power of Fire and Water moves.
But mechanics buffs aren't the only thing we've got! We also have lots of Pokemon and Move buffs! And by lots, we mean LOTS. And we've got them all stored on this Weebly page right here: http://cancerfairy.weebly.com/ disclaimer some stuff is outdated and some buffs are not listed

OUR BUFFING PHILOSOPHY
When we buff stuff, we don't buff it just to make it a super powerful OU threat. We buff stuff because it's thematically fitting, even if it isn't always super strong and viable. Which is why we have...

CFM Tiers
Cool Funky Mode has various tiers, from OU to PU, including Ubers. A Little Cup tier is also planned. What tier a Pokemon is in can be seen on the Weebly right next to the Pokemon.

So when are we gonna start getting this meta coded?
We don't have to start. The meta is already all coded! And it can be played on this neat little PSIM right here: cancer.psim.us
Keep in mind though, we are not done with development! More things will be added in due time!

Important Disclaimer: Please do not get offended by the mentions of "cancer" on our website and weebly. That's just churchofcage's name on showdown and discord, ok? We'll fix it at some point, but it ain't a priority for us. Just keep that in mind.

What an awful idea for a metagame, who'd ever want to play it?

Featured Mons!



Stats: 55/95/50/95/50/110 (BST: 460)
Abilities: Keen Eye / Defiant / Adaptability
New moves: Hurricane, Hyper Voice, Cross Chop, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Blizzard, Thunder

Underestimate this monster at your peril; behold a Normal/Flying-type with enough power to rival the mighty Staraptor (on the special side at least). Even though it might have pitiful bulk and mediocre offensive stats, they are backed up by a great ability in Adaptability, powerful STAB and coverage moves - including priority - and the ability to boost with Swords Dance. Don't forget that you can crit your way through everything with 100% critting Night Slash and Leaf Blade (now both 100BP) and Cross Chop, thanks to the almighty Sticck. Or, choose the "special" avenue with Keen Eye, an ability that now boosts your accuracy by 30%. Simply blow your foes away with hurricanes or blizzards, or put them in wheelchairs with thunder, this little duck can do it all. It's high-risk as even Cryogonal's Rapid Spin can 3HKO, but it certainly is a lot of fun.



Stats:
80/80/50/50/110/90 (BST: 460)
Abilities: Vital Spirit / Swarm / Iron Fist
New moves: Mega Punch, Fire Punch, Meteor Mash

Oh, boy, by far the worst early-game Bug-type that the genii at Game Freak ever created - until now! Let Papa Cancer introduce you to the Heracross of PU, which blasts through the tier with Mega Punch (80BP, 100% Accurate; changes to the user's primary type) and Drain Punch, now boosted by 30% thanks to Iron Fist! Well, it was never going to be OU now, was it... But this thing is indeed a menace in PU. Near perfect coverage in Drain Punch and Meteor Mash leaves it free to boost with SD, break through its counters with Fire Punch and Knock Off, or pick off faster mons with a boosted, now STAB Mach Punch. This little bug has finally found its spot in the Sun.



Stats: 65/45/78/97/78/97 (BST: 460)
Abilities: Swift Swim / Hydration / Prankster
New moves: Dazzling Gleam, Energy Ball, Calm Mind, Lovely Kiss

This heart-shaped fish now finally has some merit over daddy Alomomola - drive your foes crazy with Prankster Sweet Kiss Lovely Kiss, then boost in their face and put them back to sleep if they dare escape their enforced siesta. With (almost) Primarina levels of power and coverage, this thing is unstoppable after four or five CM boosts. With some actual bulk and a decent defensive typing - as well as actually having access to Calm Mind - this is more than doable, and a potent powerhouse in PU.



Stats: 65/102/108/102/108/5 (BST: 490)
Abilities: Pressure / Power of Alchemy / Infiltrator
New moves: Crunch, Dark Void, Dream Eater, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Poison Fang, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt

Now why the hell did I give this thing Power of Alchemy? Well delightfully, Power of Alchemy now changes the type of first move in Spiritomb's moveset to its primary typing (i.e. Ghost) and boosts it by 20% - an all-purpose STAB-ilate! Now this thing can annihilate everything with Ghost-type Return or Fire Blast, but an even better move is Dream Eater (which is now a Psychic-type Giga Drain that does 50% more damage to sleeping moves) which pairs very nicely with its newfound access to Dark Void (which works, and is back to 80% accuracy). Put things to sleep, then fire off an incredibly powerful 135BP Ghost-type Giga Drain! spooky



Stats: 75/90/70/125/70/60 (BST: 490)
Abilities: Chlorophyll / Rough Skin / Storm Drain
New moves: Earth Power, Earthquake, Scald, Swords Dance, Weather Ball

Hey, remember that one cactus Pokémon that isn't Cacturne? Yeah, the one who you find in that desert even though it takes damage from sandstorm? Well, that blunder is corrected, and now this thing is an amazing special attacker. Great STABS, great abilities, and perfect coverage with Weather Ball and Scald (which doesn't get weakened by Sun!) in Sun. Alternatively, a physical Maractus set is finally viable (although outclassed by its prickly rival) with SD, EQ, Wood Hammer and Sucker Punch. And of course, it can still run a (bad) support set with Spiky Shield and Spikes.



Stats: 77/43/63/89/77/101 (BST: 450)
Abilities: Cheek Pouch / Huge Power / Thick Fat
New moves: Dazzling Meme, Power-Up Punch, Superpower

Ah, nothing says "super serious Pet Mod" like giving Dedenne Huge Power (albeit at the cost of a bit of Attack). Now it can finally abuse its good STAB moves in Wild Charge (which also has a 10% chance to paralyse now), Play Rough (which is now 100% accurate, up from 27%), pivoting in U-Turn, and new toy in Superpower! This little rat is still, honestly, not going to OU any time soon, but that's not the point of CFM - the point is, that it's fun! If you want to stick with the dank Sub Starf Berry Cheek Pouch set, it does now finally get a Fairy-STAB in Dazzle, and a buffed Parabolic Charge (now 75BP).



Stats: 35/70/30/70/60/95 (BST: 360)
Abilities: Swarm / Water Bubble / Swift Swim
New moves: Agility, Bug Buzz, Energy Ball, Spider Web

Isn't this thing LC? Well, with Water Bubble and the same offensive stats as daddy Araquanid, it really isn't - it's fast, it's powerful, it gets Webs, Scald, Magic Coat and Spider Web (which is now a Special Bug-type Spirit Shackle). Say hello to the perfect Webs lead for PU! Very little in the tier wants to be trapped by Spider Web then whittled by horrifically powerful Water-moves (except of course Lanturn), but with access to Agility as well, this thing can be an unexpected sweeper - just beware its awful, awful bulk.

Just one from each generation for now, but there's a lot more where this came from! Hop on over to the Weebly to find out (nearly - WIP lol) everything there is to know about this confusing shitfest divine masterpiece of a pet mod, or follow our Discord if you want to follow updates, watch the Draft League, and take part in the creative process!

For our newcomers, here's a list of buffs that haven't been added to the Weebly quite yet, and/or have not been fully implemented.


Silvally
CFM Stats: 91/100/85/100/85/109 (570)

Fairy: +1 SpA, +1 SpD, -2 Atk
Fighting: +2 Atk, -2 SpD
Fire: +1 Atk, +1 SpA, -2 Def
Flying: +1 Atk/+1 Spa (depending on the higher one), +1 Spe, -2 Def
Ghost: +1 SpD, +1 Atk/+1 SpA (depending on the higher one), -2 Def
Grass: +1 Def, +1 SpA, +1 SpD, -3 Atk
Ground: +1 Atk, +1 Def, -1 SpA, -1 SpD

Steel: +3 Def, -3 Spe
Water: +1 SpA, +1 Def, -1 Atk, -1 Spe

New Moves: Earthquake, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, Recover, Taunt, Dark Pulse, Submission, Overheat (There are much more, but these are the notable ones just to shorten the list)
Modified Moves:
Multi-Attack: Turns into different moves depending on held memory
Bug Memory: Tail Glow
Dark Memory: Sucker Punch
Dragon Memory: Dragon Dance
Electric Memory: Volt Switch
Fairy Memory: Wish
Fighting Memory: Sacred Sword
Fire Memory: Fire Spin or Blaze Kick depending on higher Attack stat
Flying Memory: Gust or Drill Peck depending on higher Attack stat
Ghost Memory: Will-O-Wisp
Grass Memory: Spore
Ground Memory: Drill Run
Ice Memory: Freeze-Dry or Icicle Crash depending on higher Attack stat
Poison Memory: Toxic
Psychic Memory: Synchronoise
Rock Memory: Stealth Rock
Steel Memory: Metal Burst
Water Memory: Scald

Role Breakdown: Now, THIS is what Silvally should've been. An incredibly versatile Pokemon that can pull off any role you could possibly want to assign it, and on top of that, pull off said roles extremely well.




Kyurem: 120/120/100/120/100/100 stats, gains Superpower, EQ, DDance, Dragon Claw, Superpower and Taunt, Glaciate is 90 BP, Physical or Special based on higher Attack stat, 15% chance to freeze


Passimian: Normal/Fighting, gains Rock Head along with Submission, Switcheroo and Retaliate


Golduck: Water/Fighting, gains Inner Focus


Mega Audino: 114/77/86/107/126/50 stats, gains Misty Surge


Ampharos: Gains Tail Glow, it also gains some other physical moves, but who cares, Tail Glow, also loses Shock Wave
Ampharos-Mega: -20 SpA, +20 Speed

ay sorry to rain on your parade but about the stuff in the site and stuff

since Pikachu/Clefairy/Jigglypuff are a (rarely-acknowledged) trio, Raichu should be in a close tier to Clefable and Wigglytuff to keep with your treatment of other trios

Pidgeot-Mega's changes don't seem big enough to make it OU

Articuno isn't UU-level, unless there's unlisted buffs to the Ice type

pretty sure making dunsparce ground/flying is a nerf

gratz on murdering Ho-Oh

how is Blaziken RU when it still has Speed Boost

Masquerain is much more flavorful as Bug/Water

Why did you lower Breloom's Special Attack, 500 wouldn't be too much BST

Your changes didn't make Mega Aero or Mega Mawile Uber-worthy

I have distaste for throwing around Huge Power, especially on a 550 BST mon that's not for Uber

Solrock doesn't have Solgaleo's alchemy theme, so it shouldn't have Sunsteel

Kecleon isn't jumping 2 tiers with just those changes

See comment about Articuno, but with Regice instead

Congratulations on not actually fixing MegaChomp's problem

Gratz on murdering Dialga

Palkia is a pearl Pokemon and thus should be Water-type because that's where pearls come from

Male Meowstic isn't meant to be offensive

why give dedenne huge power when you can just give it high attack?

Refrigerate isn't bringing Avalugg up a whole tier without fixing its issues

How on earth does Scrappy make sense on Decidueye in either flavor or competitive?

Gratz on making Vikavolt into generic Electric-type

Gratz on killing Toxapex

Making Solgaleo tri-typed is kinda dumb

...why does Buzzwole have Pixilate

Gratz on raping, pillaging and burning Xurkitree

Why does Celesteela have Mummy

Why can Kartana absorb water when its flavor says the exact opposite

You didn't make Guzzlord UU-worthy

Thanks for showing us some suggestions and support! Consider this post a sort of mini-Q&A.

Where is Sylveon :(
We've discussed buffs for the eeveelutions here and there in the Discord, but we're having trouble coming up with ideas, suggestions are appreciated :]

wait wtf did you do to unown
dear lord :o
welcome to cfm, have fun

make it so rks system changes type with zmoves too, btw.
Nah, that's been done a lot in other pet mods and kind of renders the Memories completely pointless, and besides, Silvally is already so good it doesn't need them

Flavor-wise, it would be cool if Unown had at least one move that started with each letter of the alphabet.
Interesting suggestion. Already been done in G-Luke's ideal world, but I'll keep this in mind.

100% ACCURACY STONE EDGES TTAR WITH SD YASSSS :v4:

Oh boy, this is a lotta shit to get through, let's get started
1. i mean, raichu has two forms while the other two don't, so eh

2. pidgeot is still way too good for uu

3. hail boosts ice moves and weakens water and ice moves

4. even if the part with changing dunsparce's typing was a nerf (which it isn't), it makes more sense than pure normal, see our buff philosophy for more info

5. In what world is giving Ho-Oh 154/130/110 offenses a nerf? lugia is the super defensive one, so ho-oh should be the super offensive one

6. We do complex bans, but only if it makes a UU or below Pokemon OU or Ubers. EG Blaziken with Speed Boost is Uber, without it's RU

7. There's nothing wrong with Water/Flying Masquerain, valid point though

8. Why do you care so much about a physical attacker getting a reduction to what was already its worst stat?

9. A 140 attack Pokemon spamming recoiless STAB Head Smashes and Brave Birds with 150 speed isn't Uber worthy? lol ok
also mega maw is just uber so kek

10. Wailord gets Huge Power because is a big boy, also we no longer give shit Huge Power, we only added it to like 3 things to begin with

11. The Moon rock gets Moongeist Beam, no reason the Sun rock shouldn't get Sunsteel Strike.

12. Because having a STAB physical and special move for every type in the game isn't good enough for RU

13. AV Regice is a legit set

14. Except we did, it's bulkier now and Slash and Anger Point give it a niche as a RestTalk mono-attacker in the vein of Zygarde

15. How the fuck did we nerf Dialga, we even let it keep Stealth Rock

16. Huh. Interesting. Never thought of that. Still, pearls are found in water. They aren't actually RELATED to water, or made of it.

17. Meowstic forms are supposed to just be counterparts: One is physically offensive, one is specially offensive. Make sense?

18. C H I P P Y

19. ye you're right, we should drop it to pu tbh

20. unwallable spirit shackles are nice i guess

21. I mean hey, it's better than "The dex says I can fly at high speeds yet im somehow slower than a rock" vikavolt

22. First off, fuck vanilla Toxapex, second of all, it isn't useless, it's actually an extremely annoying Curse win-con, picture it as a better CurseLax

23. It should have some kind of Fire quality, right? But then again seeing as Lunala is Ghost/Fairy now, Fire/Steel Solgaleo might not be out of the question.

24, 26-27: The point of the UBs is that they're aliens, so we decided to give them intentionally nonsensical abilities because aliens, but now that you mention it Mummy Celesteela is pretty aids ngl

25. Again, how does making Xurk faster, giving it a dual typing and some actually usableish defenses while still retaining an above-average special attack make it worse

28. Harvest Guzzlord is stupid on Sun teams, trust me I know from experience

for aero I just want to note that 140 base attack with no item is somewhat similar to base 97 attack with a life orb iirc, so Aero might need more testing - it could just be S rank or A rank but idk.

25. Again, how does making Xurk faster, giving it a dual typing and some actually usableish defenses while still retaining an above-average special attack make it worse
Xurk is a wallbreaker. 139 special attack and no offense-boosting ability isn't above-average for a wallbreaker. Common wallbreakers are 160/170 Hoopa-U or 100 attack Medicham-Mega with Huge Power.
Just like vanilla Manaphy, 139 SpA Xurk would need a free turn to set up before wallbreaking anything. Vanilla Manaphy has 100/100/100 and is already hard to use. Buffed Xurk has 97/71/71 (the "actually usableish defenses" are not actually useable).
 
I'm the creator of the Pet Mod, so let me chime in.

1) I have never heard of this being a trio, and nor do I particularly care. They all have a separate BST in vanilla anyway, so I wasn't fussed about forcing unity.

2) Pidgeot was BL last gen, and this gen it gets Focus Miss. Definitely too good for UU, and there's no BL tiers in CFM.

3) With Magic Guard, Articuno is very annoying. In Hail it can now spam perfectly accurate Hurricane, and its Blizzard gets a 30% power boost. Hail also weakens Fire and Water moves by 50%. But this information isn't on the Weebly yet, so my apologies there.

4) Sure, because everyone thinks Gliscor and Lando-T would be much better if they were pure Normal.

5) 154 Atk is murdering? In that case they absolute murdered Mega Diancie.

6) If you read the tooltip, you'll see that Speed Boost is banned.

7) Bug/Water would be cool, but there's plenty of those now so it's not as cool as it would have been before. Water/Flying gives it a much better competitive edge, it used to dominate in OU.

8) Why does Breloom need Sp. Atk?

9) Try them and see.

10) Wailord is still trash regardless.

11) Your sense of humour is lacking - notice how Lunatone got Moongeist Beam as well?

12) Try it and see - and take note of what Colour Change does now.

13) Imagine a Regenerator Chansey with 125 SpA, STAB Ice Beam, Thunderbolt and (80% accurate!) Focus Blast.

14) Read the OP, this meta is not meant to fix every mons 'problems' - above all, it's to make them more interesting. Note what Slash and Anger Point do, and you'll see that it's excellent now.

15) Lmao, this thing had to be nerfed because it was so broken in CF Ubers.

16) By that logic, shouldn't Dialga be Rock-type and Giratina Steel-type?

17) I don't care what things are "meant" to be.

18) Because Huge Power Dedenne is funnier.

19) I think you underestimate the power of an unblockable Rapid Spin. Also, SR damage is less so its own typing isn't that much of a hindrance.

20) Read what Scrappy does, then think about how silly you are.

21) Reckless Bug-type Double-Edge is a generic Electric-type?

22) Thanks, it deserved it.

23) This is an opinion.

24) lol

25) Read the OP again. Xurkitree was incredibly one-dimensional.

26) lol

27) lol

28) lol

make it so rks system changes type with zmoves too, btw.
Actually, we are currently in the process of thinking of a way to balance Silvally, since it is sort of OP.
One of these ways may be nerfing the stat boosts on switch-in and allowing it to hold any item while a different type
EDIT:pretty sure we would either keep the stat boosts, but nerf them, or buff base stats and remove the stat boosts;not sure which one we're gonna do

This looks like a really fun mod in the making! One buff I'd like to suggest is to my boi Lucario. He has a perfect movepool and stats to be either a physical or special attacker, so one thing that I think would help him and many other offensively mixed would be potentially giving them download; it would be fun to see Lucario and other mixed attackers like Infernape using scarfed sets like the ones Genesect uses. Also, why is normal Arceus banned from Ubers?

Glad you like it, it's actually already been made and is playable on cancer.psim.us, if you want to try it at some point (I'll get a bot going at some point, promise!) As for your Lucario suggestion, it's an interesting one but I can't say it really fits. As per our mission statement, a buff is not necessarily supposed to increase their viability, but above all it should also make the mon more interesting and stand out. Be creative! A lot of the mons we've done have had hours and hours of thought poured into them.

UBs aren't meant to be nonsensical. Their type and moves all make sense when you look deep into it. Celesteela gets Grass moves because it's part bamboo, Xurkitree gets Grass moves because it's part tree, Kartana gets cutting moves because it's part katana. Etc. It all has explanation. Consider adding abilities that aren't obvious but aren't lol random either. For example, instead of going with the obvious Gluttony, you guys went with Harvest Guzzlord and it makes sense. Harvest allows it to eat constantly, that's what it does, so it's good. The others really aren't "thematically fitting".
25) Read the OP again. Xurkitree was incredibly one-dimensional.
It's zero-dimensional now. Does new Xurk do anything that new Manaphy or new Ampharos can't do as a Tail Glow wallbreakers? Does the higher SpA and Hypnosis on Xurk outweight Manaphy's higher speed tier, better bulk, and better defensive typing? Or MegaAmpharos' even higher SpA, much better bulk, and better typing all around? I mean, if you meant for it to be UU or RU then it's fine but otherwise...
 
I'm afraid you and I simply have a different sense of humour. I'm perfectly aware of the origins of the UBs; I do plenty of research into each and every mon before I make any changes. But here, I don't care what the UB's are "meant" to be: they are from an alien world so it makes sense to give them HA's that are unusual, discordant - just like their prime stats. We originally just rolled dice to select an HA, then chose ones which were kind of funny/crap. You'll run Beast Boost on most of them anyway.

Yes, and Xurk is terrible now because 139 SpA is absolute garbage, what was I thinking.
On a more serious note, Xurkitree was crap anyway. Being nothing other than a slow, frail wallbreaker is not an interesting design. Now I have some hit and misses, but this was just an attempt to make it more interesting, not better competitively. I'd consider replacing Unaware with something more fun though...
