Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What about forme changes?
Answer: Similarly to how megas work, any forme changes that happen during battle won't transfer moves. Mega Evolution does not open up any new moves; this means Mega Lopunny cannot use moves like Thunderous Kick, Mega Charizard X cannot use Glaive Rush, and so forth. Castform is another good example of this, as it only changes type with the ability Forecast while in effect during a battle. Any forme changes that happen outside battle will transfer types, with a few exceptions. See the Forme Type Changes tag below for the full list.
Question: Do Paldean formes trade types with their normal counterparts (e.g. can Paldean Tauros learn all Normal, Fighting, Water, and Fire moves)?
Answer: No. Unless a Pokemon is either the direct evolution or an out-of-battle forme change of another Pokemon it cannot get moves from its type.
Question: Why can my Dark-type Kingambit now use Pursuit?
A: Moves that have been made unusable in the games code are usable here due to National Dex mechanics!
Question: Can my Goldeen still use Acupressure even though that move is banned?
Answer: Yep! The banned moves only apply to Pokemon that don't normally learn them.
Question: Can I teach Max Airstream, a Max Move, to my Pokemon?
Answer: No. Max moves are only available at the time of use when Dynamaxed and thus cannot be "taught" outside of battle.
Question: Why was X banned?
Answer: Check in the Discord.

Forme Type Changes:
Ghost, Electric, Water, Fire, Flying, Grass, & Ice are interchangeable between the Rotom formes. Last generation we had a special rule that prevented types from swapping but it felt arbitrary to include it when other formes can trade types so it was reversed.
Flying moves are available to Shaymin due to its Sky forme existing outside of battle.
Every type is available to Silvally due to its ability RKS System
Psychic, Ghost, and Steel are available to all three base Necrozma formes. It cannot get new Dragon moves, even if Necrozma-Ultra is reintroduced, as that forme is only obtainable in battle.
Psychic, Grass, Ice, and Ghost moves are available to all Calyrex formes. Spectrier and Glastrier do NOT get moves that are not their base type.
Grass, Rock, Fire, and Water moves are available to all Ogerpon formes.
What doesn't apply:
The following Pokémon change only during battle and thus don't transfer types according to the rules of STABmons
Only Normal moves are available to Castform.
Only Fire and Ice moves are available to each Darmanitan forme, respectively.
Only Normal and Psychic moves are available to Meloetta.
This list may be updated as more Pokemon are released into Generation 9.
Codes
National Dex STABmons
Accepting artwork submissions :)
STABmons is the metagame where Pokemon have access to moves that match their type even if they can't normally learn them! Using Eevee as an example, it can now learn every Normal type move. This also applies to Pokemon that change type(s) during evolution. That means Eevee can pass Normal moves to all its Eeveelutions. New moves are "taught" as if they were TMs.

Clauses
- Endless Battle Clause: A player may not intentionally prevent an opponent from being able to end the game without forfeiting.
- For example, a Slowbro holding a Leppa Berry can create an endless battle using the moves Recycle, Heal Pulse, Slack Off, and Block. To do so, Slowbro traps one of the opponent's Pokemon, PP stalls it, and heals Struggle damage indefinitely using Heal Pulse and Slack Off.
- Evasion Clause: A Pokemon may not have either Double Team or Minimize in its moveset.
- OHKO Clause: A Pokemon may not have the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold in its moveset.
- Species Clause: A player may not have two Pokemon with the same National Pokédex number on a team.
- For example, using a team with two Koffing would break this clause.
- Using different formes on the same team, such as Rotom-W and Rotom-C, also breaks the clause since they share the same Pokédex number (#479).
- Sleep Moves Clause: A player may not use a move that induces sleep as a primary effect, such as Hypnosis.
- Terastal Clause: A player may not Terastallize.
