Summary of the Mod: In this 9v9 National Dex Doubles OU meta, players build with 9 Pokemon (use boxes instead of teams in the Showdown builder) featuring every type in the game (barring Stellar). So this means all Pokémon must be dual type and none of them can share the same type. Essentially it's having all 18 types in the same team. Regarding Megas, only the ones that share the same type as their base form are allowed. Every other rule remains identical to NatDex Doubles OU except that Z-moves are allowed, some pokemon unbans (refer to the spreadsheet), and sleep clause implemented. And of course Tera is banned because it defies the concept of Multitype. Note all type changing moves/abilities/items (eg: Burn Up, Forest's Curse, Protean, Altarianite, etc) EXCEPT for Roost are BANNED) Players will have to expertly manage what types are taken by what Pokemon as to ensure a cohesive and powerful team.
Competitive Overview: Since you have to build with every type, you really need to be careful about any overlap and what types you’re left with. The latter part especially as to not leave you with either shitmons or unusable type combos. And thanks to there being 9 mons per team, even as a Doubles meta, hazards end up becoming quite important to ensure progress and limit certain mons. This also implements the necessity of having hazard removal, either with defog or spin. Additionally, bulky archetypes are far better in this format due to games lasting longer, but offense is incredibly strong too. So far, we’re still testing out some stuff to see if things should stick or not like Genesect and Last Respects. The community so far has been cooking up some pretty interesting sets and teams like:
Urshifu Rain
Mega Gallade Semiroon
Sun Semiroom
Ferrothorn Ting-Lu Hazard Stack
