2v2 Doubles

Based on standard Doubles, both sides bring four Pokemon but only send out two on each side.​

Ability Shift

All abilities are replaced by the next one alphabetically.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Accessorize

Each item adds or changes the secondary typing and carries a 50 base point bonus and a 10 base point penalty. Like with Mega Stones, the items cannot be removed. Otherwise abilities and movepools stay the same.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Adaptability

All Pokemon have adaptability intrinsically along with its original ability and all Pokemon become single typed. Pokemon with secondary typings choose what type they keep based on Shiny or Non-Shiny form and the Pokemon resists the type that it loses.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Alphabet Cup

Pokemon can learn any move that begins with the first letter of the Pokemon's name.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Averagemons

All pokemon have a stat spread of 100/100/100/100/100/100.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Camomons

Pokemon's primary and secondary type change depending on the type of the moves in slot 1 and slot 2 in its moveset.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Extreme Tier Shift

Lower Tier Pokemon are brought upto Ubers with general stat boosts based on the tier they're in. The boosts are double of that of regular Tier Shift.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Field Plating

Plates each have a certain effect tied to it which takes place when the Pokemon holding said Plate switches in. Effects range from setting up terrain, weather or even haze!​

 

[Other Metagames]

Genmons

Pokemon can learn any move that was introduced in the same generation as it was.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Gods Among Us

All Uber Pokémon are nerfed and introduced into OU. This is accomplished by a simple formula, (A÷2)+40, where A represents the Pokémon's stats.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Gods And Followers

Each team has a "God" and five "Followers". The "God" is the Pokemon in the first slot of the team, it can be any Pokemon from Ubers to OU, the "Followers" must follow the OU banlist. The Followers must share a type with the God. If the God faints, the Follower's receive -1 priority on all of their moves.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Haxmons Ubers

If hax can happen, it will happen: any move with a chance to miss will miss; every move that hits will crit; and every move with a secondary effect activates that effect. Set in Ubers instead of OU.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Hemiswap

The first three slots and last three slots in a team are separate "halves." Right before the match, one half is randomly selected. The Pokemon in that half become a part of your opponent's team, and vice versa.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Hidden Type Ubers

Pokémon have an added type determined by their IVs. Same as the Hidden Power type. Set in Ubers instead of OU​

 

[Other Metagames]

Itemize

All non form changing items have their species restrictions lifted.​
