Ever wondered what it would be like to face a Blisssey that outspeeds everything and whose primary role is as a physical attacker? How about facing a Deoxys-A who can tank everything? If so, then this is the place for you. Welcome to Reversemons!
Reversemons takes the Metagame and adds a major twist: changing the order of a Pokemon's base stats.
HP / Att / Def / SpAtt / SpDef / Spe is reversed, and now becomesSpe / SpDef / SpAtt / Def / Att / HP.
We'll start off with a banlist, then move on to some stuff (all theorymon at this point) that could be viable in this meta.
Banlist:
- Standard OU banlist, but I'll make the decision to unban some pokemon from Ubers.
- Added pokemon: Kyurem-B
- Removed from banlist: Genesect, Blaziken, Deoxys-D, Deoxys-S
Regarding Mega-Evos:
I'm not sure at this point what the best option would be; for the moment, I think that using the base speed of the regular (non-evolved) pokemon is the best option, though this lowers the viability of some Megas (not necessarily a bad thing). Swinging it the other way would likely decrease diversity. The other option would be to have the HP change, but there is no precedent for something like this. Thoughts/Ideas?
Let's move on the some viable 'mons:
Offensive:
- Blissey
- Shifted to 55 / 135 / 75 / 10 / 10 / 255
- Yes, Blissey has a base Speed of 255 and an attack of 135. She also has an expansive physical movepool including Earthquake, Return, Wild Charge, Rock Slide, and a large amount of Punching moves. Also, Serene Grace Body Slam + Headbutt. New paraflincher!
- Chansey, sitting at 50 / 105 / 35 / 5 / 5 / 250, with a similar movepool to Blissey's.
- Lapras
- Shifted to 60 / 95 / 85 / 80 / 85 / 130, and a large movepool as well as access to a couple of boosting moves (Dragon Dance, Curse). Slap a Life Orb on there and pick some good moves, could do some damage.
- Shuckle becomes the definition of a glass cannon, capable of reaching an attack stat (or special attack stat) of 614. It dies if you poke it however, but could potentially be "good" on a trick room team.
- Registeel has the potential to be a fearsome mixed attacker, especially with Rock Polish, and has enough moves on both ends of the spectrum to clean-up late game at 50 / 150 / 75 / 150 / 75 / 80.
- Goodra and Latios have access to the strongest STAB Outrages in the game, coming off a 150 attack stat, Goodra being slightly faster at 90 base speed.
Defensive:
- Aegislash loses some utility, it's normal form being offensive (unusable), but it's attacking form becomes 60 / 50 / 150 / 50 / 150 / 60, with a fantastic defensive typing. Luckily it can access its defensive (Blade) form change through priority.
- Landorus becomes a premier mixed wall, especially with Intimidate, sitting at 91 / 80 / 105 / 90 / 145 / 89 with a good support movepool (knock off, Stealth Rock) and a good SpAtt stat.
- Archeops has outstanding walling potential with 110 / 65 / 112 / 65 / 140 / 75. It still has a terrible ability, but access to moves such as Roost, Knock Off, Switcheroo, and Defog, it can take hits for days.
- Salamence is somewhat of a combo between Landorus and Archeops, at 100 / 80 / 110 / 80 / 135 / 95, with a good ability in Intimidate and support moves (Dragon Tail being notable)
- Thundurus is similar to Landorus, with a better utility ability. Inb4 prankster.
Feel free to discuss potential brokenmons and stuff that you think should be allowed, as well as stuff that could be viable!
