Announcement Pet Mod of the Season [Voting Stage]

[G-Luke]

Greetings, everyone! This thread will be dedicated to voting for what will be the first iteration of Pet Mod of the Season. What this is, you may ask? Well, as of next year, Pet Mods will be hosted on the Pokemon Showdown server with each Pet Mod staying on the server for 3 months, after which the community votes on the next Pet Mod to take over. For the first time around the list of mods were selected by both the lead moderators of the Pet Mods forum and the Other Metagames forum, but in the future, you the community will be able to nominate your favourite Pet Mods yourself! Anyways, the rules for voting for your favourite Pet Mod is as follows:

Rules:
- Vote for a Pet Mod by liking the post (in this thread) that has its name on it.
- You may vote for as many Pet Mods as you want.
- In order for your vote to count you must have at least five forum posts.
- If your account is less than one week old, your vote will not be counted.
- Do not try to influence other voters and do not bash any Pet Mod. Asking people to vote for a Pet Mod in the Pet Mod room or Discord may lead to moderation actions being taken from the relevant authorities.

Voting will end on the morning of April 1st.

Available options are:
OptiMons
Perfect Galar
AbNormal
Megamax
Roulettemons
Bench Abilities
Breeding Variants

AbNormal

The Normal typing is completely nullified from existence, and all Normal typed Pokémon, moves and interactive items / abilities are retyped / reworked on a slate basis by the community. ​

 

[G-Luke]

Breeding Variants!

Making viable variants of select mons by borrowing some moves, abilities and even typings from certain Pokémon within its egg group​

 

[G-Luke]

Bench Abilities​

This Pet Mod answers gives certain mons bench abilities that boost their allies in various ways, even when they're off the field. These abilities are active only when their users remain on the bench. Bench abilities are separate from standard abilities, occupying their own special "slot".

 

[G-Luke]

Roulettemons​

A competitive metagame made up of brand new Pokémon that are randomly generated on every competitive aspect (typing, moves, stats, abilities).

 

[G-Luke]

OptiMons
​

Metagame centred around taking lower tier filler Pokemon and optimizing for the OU metagame.

 

[G-Luke]

Megamax
​

Nat Dex metagame centred around retooling Gigantamax forms into functioning Mega Evolutions

 

[G-Luke]

Perfect Galar​

A mod centred around the idea to make a Sword and Shield OU metagame where every single fully evolved Pokemon in the Galar Pokedex has a unique, valuable niche.
