Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:
MorphMons!
(please give me name suggestions)
So, the basic premise of this metagame is that if you put another pokemon in a pokemon's item slot, it's stats and ability are "morphed" into the new one! (no, this is not mix and mega)
Type and moveset are NOT affected
If the pokemon in the item slot has one ability, it is that ability.
If the pokemon in the item slot has a hidden ability, it is always the hidden ability.
For example:
Zygarde @ Tyrantitar would
NOT have sand stream, it would have tyranitar's hidden ability: Unnerve.
No Unburden Hawluchas for you :)
Example:
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Protect
- Seismic Toss
- Heal Bell
702 HP
13 ATT
119 DEF
106 SPA
248 SPD
136 SPE
Chansey (F) @ Toxapex
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft Boiled
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Protect
303 HP
145 ATT
443 DEF
142 SPA
332 SPD
106 SPE
Wish loses a lot of viability, but now Chansey has an enormous defense stat and Seismic toss + Toxic is great for stall
Bans:
Item Slot Bans:
- Shedninja (self explanatory)
- Nothing else seems too overpowered, but as people think of more exploits, I'll add more.
Pokemon Bans:
- Again, nothing seems too overpowered, but I'll add more.
Possible Bans & Big Threats:

Question for the community: Did I miss anything that is too overpowered? What are some good sets that you can think of?
