Eramons
EramonsEramons is focused around the creation of a Gen 9 micrometa where mons are sorted into different "eras" based on broad strokes of real-life historical time periods, as well as speculative fiction about the future. Akin to a Monotype meta, every Pokemon on your team must be from the same era. However, we plan to populate each era with a healthy amount of diverse options from the entire dex, as well as the star attractions of this pet mod, Eramons!
What are Eramons?
Eramons are similar in nature to regional forms or convergent Pokemon from the newest games. They are Pokemon that are significantly different to how we know them now, shaped by the period of time they came from. In design, they're a halfway point between a regional form and a convergent mon. They will have different yet similar names from the Pokemon they were based off of and may have an entirely different type, but they will not need to be a different species from the original and may keep one of its original types. Created by the community, there will be at least 3 new Eramons for each era to help diversify teambuilding options.
List of Eras
Below are a list of eras in the mod. There are currently 8, but additional eras may potentially be added as time goes on.
- Prehistoric
- Early Civilization
- Medieval
- Age of Exploration
- Industrial Revolution
- Present Day
- Far Future
- Apocalypse
We'll start by taking two eras that don't yet have any mons - so for the sake of example, Medieval and Wild West - and focus the slate on them. The first phase of the slate will focus on Returning Mons. After submitting up to 6 existing Pokemon (3 per era) into one of the two eras of the slate, the top 6 for each era will be voted in. These Pokemon:
- Must have their movepool pulled from their most recent appearance in a main series game (SV>SwSh>BDSP>USUM), with moves and abilities that no longer exist in SV removed
- Can add or remove up to 50 points to their BST, as long as BST stays within 50 of what it originally was
- Can have one of its abilities replaced by an existing one
- Can have one move added to its kit for every move not labeled as Usually useless or lower by Showdown.
- Can change one of or both types
- Can freely redistribute stats as long as BST stays the same
- Can swap out and replace any of its abilities
- Can freely change its movepool
- Can add one custom element, in the form of either one new move or one new ability (no new field effects or the like, and make it reasonable to code)
Submission Templates
List your changes next to the mon's original data for easier reading.
Fields marked with a * should NOT be changed from the original mon.
Pokemon*: (List the name of the Pokemon here.)
Era: (List the Era you wish to submit this Pokemon to here.)
Type*: (List the Pokemon's typing.)
Abilities: (List all of the Pokemon's ability/abilities. Remember to replace abilities that no longer exist as of SV.)
Stats: (List the Pokemon's stats and BST. Label buffs if made.)
Move Changes: (List every move you would add and remove from the Pokemon's most recent movepool. Remember, Dexit'd moves that do not exist in SV are removed by default.)
Role: (List the Pokemon's intended competitive role on a team.)
Era Justification: (Justify why this Pokemon and the changes you made to it should be added to the Era you're submitting it to and how it affects the meta as a whole. Good competitive/balance reason obviously matters a lot, but we are also looking for strong flavor justifications for why this Pokemon fits the theming of the era it is being submitted to as opposed to another. Whether due to its typing, design, Pokedex entries, etc.)

Era Justification: (Justify why this Eramon should be added to the Era you're submitting to and how it affects the meta as a whole. Same sentiments regarding competitive justifying and flavor justifying as in the Returning Mon Sub template, although the flavor part is a bit looser since these are Pokemon being designed to better fit their era flavor-wise to begin with.)
