Welcome to Six by Six! In this PetMod, we will create a metagame with only six species of Pokémon available. However, each of these six Pokémon will have multiple forms. Essentially, you'll have to pick one form from each of these Pokémon to build your team!
This Pet Mod will be based on Gen 9 Rules and Regulations, with Terastal banned.
Submission Rules and Mechanics
This mod's submissions are split in two parts. Slate 0 will see users submitting the six Pokémon that will be used as a base for the mod, whereas slates 1-5 will give new forms to those Pokémon. As such, Slate 0 and the remaining slates will have slightly different submission rules. Pokémon forms created in this mod don't necessarily need to follow flavourful sense - if you want to give Brave Bird to Rillaboom or make a Fire-type Abomasnow, so be it. The mod's primary focus is on competitive viability.
During Slate 0, people will submit 6 Pokémon as blank slates. This means they will be completely dettached from their vanilla counterparts - Their stats, typing, ability and movepool can be completely different from vanilla. This also means that the Pokémon will only get the moves listed in the submission, so be sure to list its entire movepool.
Your submission has to have 6 Pokémon, as the winners of this slate are to be added as a group. These 6 Pokémon will serve as the basis for what the entire rest of the mod will branch off of, so people should be very mindful of what they give to their Pokémon! Make sure your submissions are balanced in relation to one another!

[B]Intended General Role[/B]:For Slates 1-5, all submissions will be based around the Slate 0 Pokémon. These will be submitted individually rather than as a set. Every slate, one new form will be added for each Pokémon. You'll start with the forms that were created during the first phase, and for each form, you'll be able to do one Large, one Medium and one Small change to Abilities, Types and Stats. The following are the "costs" of each of them:
TYPES
Small - Loses a type and becomes monotype or Typing remains unchanged
Medium - One type may be changed
Large - Both types are changed
STATS
Small - Changes only up to 10 points per stat or Stats stay unchanged
Medium - Changes up to 20 points per stat
Large - Changes up to 40 points per stat
ABILITIES
Small - May change up to 2 abilities, but has to keep a similar effect to the original*
Medium - May change up to 2 abilities. One ability may be replaced freely, the other one with a similar effect to the original
Large - May replace or remove abilities freely
*For an example, Moxie may be replaced by an ability that raises Attack or an ability that activates upon KOing an opponent. Lightning Rod may be replaced with an ability that raises Special Attack or an ability that gives Electric immunity.
As for Moves, for every one Relevant Move you add, you must remove two. If the form's typing is changed, you may remove one Relevant Move of the type it lost and add one of the type it has gained.
The BST of a Pokémon must be the same across all of its forms.
Form-Changing abilities are banned as they somewhat defeat the premisse of this mod and would allow people to bypass the "one new form per slate" rule.
