Full Potential

A Pokemon's highest stat is used when calculating the damage their attacks inflict.​

 

[Other Metagames]

Godly Gift

Teams are allowed one Ubers tier "God" Pokemon. The teammates receive the base stat of the "God" Pokemon corresponding to their position on the team.​

Each team has a "God" and five "Followers". The "God" is the Pokemon in the first slot; it can be any Pokemon including Ubers. The "Followers" must follow the OU banlist and must share a type with the God. If the God faints, a constant Embargo effect is applied to the player's team.​
