Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Rules:
- Vote for a metagame by liking its post.
- You may vote for as many metagames as you want.
- If your account is less than one week old, your vote will not be counted.
- The metagame with the most votes will receive a ladder on the main server of Pokemon Showdown for the month of February.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All Pokemon get an -Ate ability intrinsically along with its regular ability. If non-shiny, the -Ate ability will turn normal type moves into the primary type of the Pokemon. If shiny, the -Ate ability will turn normal type moves into the secondary type of the Pokemon.
Any fully evolved Pokemon can mega evolve using a megastone. When mega evolving, the Pokemon recieves the same stat boosts reductions and gains the same abilities as the original Pokemon (that the mega stone was meant for) do when mega evolving.
