Inheritance
Any Pokemon in the metagame can "inherit" the moves and ability from a certain Pokemon. It has to inherit both the moves and the ability. You may only use the moves and ability from that Pokemon, so you lose your own (Unless you choose to inherit your own moves/ability). The game will just check if there's any Pokemon with it as a legal combination.

Donor Clause
• You cannot inherit from banned Pokemon
• No two Pokemon on your team may inherit from the same evolutionary line. The purpose of this rule is to encourage diversity, not to ban broken things.
Unbans:
None yet!
Strategy:
With the ability to inherit from any Pokemon, a lot of Pokemon can use their typing and stats coupled with another mon's movepool and abilities and become even better than before. Toxapex can inherit Unaware from Quagsire and act as a potent defensive wall, or Excadrill can inherit from Dhelmise to run an incredibly strong attacking set with Steelworker. Inheritance leaves a lot of room to experiment and innovate, new combinations are always possible to discover!
Additional Rules / Clarifications:
- To inherit a moveset, simply give one Pokemon any combination of moves and ability that is legal on another (remember you lose your own moves and ability when inheriting). The game will just check if there's any Pokemon with it as a legal combination.
- Donor Reveal: The donor will display as a Pokemon switches in.
- You can only inherit from OU Pokemon and below. e.g. Bisharp inheriting from Zacian-Crowned or Dragapult inheriting from Eternatus are illegal (unless the Uber is unbanned)
