Monoletter

Mascot:

Monoletter is a tier played in the Natdex format. The gimmick is that every Pokemon on your team has to start with the same letter from the English alphabet. This creates some interesting strategies, For example C gets mons like clodsire, Chansey, Clefable, and Corviknight, making it a great defensive letter while also getting things like Charizard Y and Cinderace for a sun team. Other letters like G get great offensive play with Gholdengo, Greninja, Garchomp, Gallade etc, and K the mascot of the tier and arguably the best letter getting a plethora of threats like Kingambit, Kartana, Keldeo, Kommo- o and others. A lot of letters like J, W, and O are bit underwhelming compared to most letters and some are almost useless like Y and X which is why unbanning some uber Pokemon may be balanced in this format, For example, Yveltal. Since Y is so bad only getting access to 6 mons total and only one being fully evolved unbanning Yveltal is more than balanced giving, Y something to work with and even then still being pretty bad.

Tired of corrupt councils and rigged voting? Fusion Revolution is an official spinoff of Fusion Evolution, in which slates are hosted live on PS! One Pokémon is chosen at random, and then we discuss and run polls to decide what we'll fuse it with, and what direction the resulting fusion will take.​

Name of Mod: Neo Evolution


Mascot:


(Gliscor as the face of the project)



Link to Changes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xin0P2tTXpYdOsEHwy18vAMHuqnhXEJaNf_57i2qL7c/edit?usp=sharing


Summary of the Mod:
Neo Evolution is a re-imagining of existing Pokémon with a focus on giving underwhelming or outdated species modernized tools while toning down overbearing threats. The core idea is “if Game Freak made a balance patch,” with a mix of buffs, nerfs, and reworks. Every Pokémon receives at least a small tweak, whether it’s a stat redistribution, movepool expansion, or ability adjustment.

• Many evolutions and cross-gen relatives get upgrades to better reflect their design themes.
• Signature moves and abilities are retooled to create new identities (e.g., Dusknoir gains a reliable Ghost STAB, Florges gets a stronger cleric niche).
• Some mechanics like weather and terrain are fine-tuned to avoid overcentralization.

Competitive Overview:
The metagame is expected to be fast-paced but less matchup-fishing than standard OU.

• Gliscor becomes the flagship bulky pivot with improved hazard control, but loses some of its oppressive recovery to stay balanced.
• Roserade shines as a Spiker with a newly buffed Poison STAB, giving it a unique role compared to Amoonguss.
• Haxorus finally carves out a niche with a Dragon Dance rework that gives it versatility beyond pure wallbreaking.
• Defensive staples like Umbreon and Milotic gain tools to compete with modern threats without invalidating new options.

Overall, Neo Evolution emphasizes creative teambuilding: almost every Pokémon has a reason to be considered, but none are designed to dominate the tier outright.

Mascot:

Link to changes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...FqIYzd03bg/edit?gid=2042560846#gid=2042560846

Summary of the mod: Altermons is a micrometa in which we create new forms for existing Pokémon called Alter forms, Alter forms cannot change the abilities or stats of the base Pokémon, only the typing and movepool may change which forces you to get creative with the tools available to you when designing mons!

Competitive Overview: Currently the metagame is still in it's infancy, our first slate is almost ready to be implemented but some Alter Pokémon have already shown themselves to be top tiers!

Skeledirge @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Doom Desire
- King's Shield
- Moonblast
- Wish

Skeledirge is currently the glue holding the format together, stopping immensely powerful threats like Scyther, Kleavor and Mega Lucario while offering incredible support in Wish, Doom Desire and Volt Switch.

Beheeyem @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Fire Blast
- Core Enforcer
- Toxic
- Recover

Probably my current favorite mon in the tier, Beheeyem is an incredibly strong slow breaker that nullifies abilities with its super strong Analytic boosted Core Enforcer which comes in handy vs. Flash Fire mons like Centiskorch.

Lucario-Mega @ Lucarionite
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Bug Buzz
- U-turn
- Dark Pulse
- Burning Jealousy

Mega Lucario is a phenomenal late game cleaner, hitting most of the metagame extremely hard with Adaptability boosted Bug Buzz and Dark Pulse, it's currently probably the second best mon in the tier after Skeledirge.

We've got some cool mons coming soon, like a Dark/Dragon Zapdos-Galar, Bug/Fighting Palafin, Fire/Steel Clefable and more! It's been a ton of fun so far.

[Low-Key]

this is more experimental compared to other stuff i've done, but i've been thinking about it for a bit and wanted to share it anyway

Name of Mod: Path of Legends
Mascot:
Link to Changes: It's right here!
Summary of the Mod: A Gen 9 National Dex meta where the only Pokemon usable are ones in the PLA and Legends ZA Pokedex, including every Mega-Evolvable Pokemon and some hand-picked ones, plus changes that introduce both gimmicks from the Legends games. Z-Moves, Dynamax and Terastallization are not usable. Freeze has been replaced by Frostbite (Burn clone for Special Attack,) and some moves can now inflict Drowsiness. Paralysis has been changed to be the 75% speed drop like in old gens, but can no longer cause a full paralysis. Additionally, there are now a slew of other miscellaneous changes to mechanics that are explained in the Spreadsheet.

• First are the two different move styles, Strong and Agile, introduced in PLA. To use Strong and Agile style, a Pokemon must hold either the Scroll of Strength for Strong style, or the Scroll of Speed for Agile style. Once a Pokemon has either equipped, there will be a box in-battle which allows you to trigger the effect of a Strong style move or Agile style move one time only. This works like Megas, so only one Strong/Agile move user per team.

• Once you use either, it will be announced in battle. Using a Strong-style move will increase its BP and accuracy by 25%, but your Speed stat is cut by 25%. Likewise, using an Agile-style move will increase your speed stat by 50%, but the BP of the move you're using will be cut by 25% to compensate. Both of these use 2 PP instead of one.

• You are also allowed to use multiple Mega Evolutions per team, albeit with a catch. The first Pokemon you Mega Evolve works like normal, but afterwards, any Pokemon that wants to Mega Evolve must undergo an X-turn wait, where X is the amount of Mega Evolved Pokemon on your team. (For example, if you have a Mega Victreebel and Mega Latios, you must wait 2 turns before Mega Evolving your Lucario.) These start on switch-in and reset when you switch out.

Many moves AND Pokemon have also been changed to be more viable. A full list can be found in the spreadsheet.

Competitive Overview: Not too sure yet, but here's a list of every fully-evolved Pokemon in the meta as of right now:

ALL Fully-Evolved Pokemon (currently)

Ubers: (AG: )

HOWEVER, I am going to list the important changes from the spreadsheet here. The most important are the type chart changes: Fairy no longer resists Bug, Ice now resists Poison, and Water is now weak to Poison. This does make quite a difference when looking at it closer. Fairy-types now get shriveled up by Mega Scizor, and Ice gaining a resistance definitely helps in the long run. Water-types especially dislike the new weakness to Poison, as there's quite a few Poison-types ready to take advantage of this. Here's some Pokemon and archetypes that have especially changed quite a bit due to the new changes:

The Weather Game

Weather is back from Gen 5 with a vengeance. Definitely not as overpowering, but there's quite a few weather setters here that I'd like to address here, since quite a few Pokemon have some new tools to use.

First off, Rain. Since Pelipper and Politoed do not exist, we instead have Whiscash and Simipour. Whiscash is especially important because it functions as a Pelipper lite, albeit with tools you may not expect. Firstly, Whiscash's Special Attack was buffed, so now you do have to be wary of Hydro Pump--but what's more important is its access to Stealth Rock and Spikes. Although Whiscash doesn't have a reliable recovery option, Stealth Rock is still equally important in a meta like this, where Offense has been a lot more ramped up. An honorable mention goes to Simipour, who is a more offensive take on Whiscash with Scald, even though it has to use Hidden Power as coverage. Notable Pokemon that get advantages in the Rain are Mega Swampert, Golduck, Basculegion, and even Lumineon.

Second, Sun, and it has been tremendously buffed. The obvious automatic setters are Ninetales and Simisear, with Simisear having better offenses and Ninetales being better in the Special Defense department. But the big one I want to talk about is, surprisingly, Cherrim. Not only has Cherrim's stats been buffed, but Flower Gift now automatically sets Sun alongside its previous effects. Not to mention Cherrim's stat buffs, with its Sunshine form being especially prevalent with 80/105/60/67/105/105 stats. Good luck surviving Petal Blizzard due to the 1.5x buff Cherrim gets. It is lacking in the coverage department, however, being completely unable to hit Steel-types, but do not forget that it has support. Mega Charizard Y is a great example, hitting the Steel-types Cherrim is unable to with its Fire moves, not to mention automatically setting up Sun for its team. The only reason why Megazard Y wasn't shown off is because I couldn't find an animated sprite for it in the Gen 5 style. Notable Pokemon that get advantages in the Sun are Hisuian Lilligant and Venusaur.

Third is Snow. Do you want an automatic Snow setter? Sorry, but your only option is Alolan Ninetales, but even then, it is surprisingly good at its job. Fast Aurora Veil is no joke, and Alolan Ninetales itself also has some decent utility moves. Mega Abomasnow is Snow's resident sweeper, as it and its base form now have Slush Rush instead of Snow Warning. Don't get me wrong, though, there are definitely some bulky options in the Snow, Walrein is a good example of such, and even Avalugg and its Hisuian form can take advantage of it with Ice Body. I'll leave it off here, since Snow is easily the least influencing weather in this mod, though I definitely think someone could build around it if they had the time.

Finally, Sand. There's two Pokemon I want to mention here. First, Tyranitar and its Mega. It's pretty much THE standard for Sand, as it's always been for quite some time now. Pursuit has been the defining factor of TTar ever since it was introduced, and let's not forget how bulky it can get when it Mega Evolves, and it doesn't need to be the only Mega due to the ability to bring multiple Mega Evolutions per team--Mega Garchomp has Sand Rush now, and it can do quite a lot of damage if you're not prepared to handle it. Hippowdon is also a bulkier Sand setter with reliable recovery in Slack Off if you want to use it, but the real highlight is Bastiodon, who has gained Sand Stream. Bastiodon is stupidly bulky, and now that it has Sand Stream, it is even more bulkier than ever before, and the Steel type can be invaluable for moves that Tyranitar would otherwise be weak to. There's not too many Sand users besides Mega Garchomp, but other Ground, Rock and Steel types definitely come to mind.

Terrains

Terrains have brought themselves back in, and although there are currently only two of them (THERE'S TWO OF THEM?!), their users are nothing to scoff at. Raichu-Alola has forgone Surge Surfer in favor of setting Electric Terrain itself with Electric Surge, and Nasty Plot + Rising Voltage is an especially scary combo some teams have to plan for. You could even run Choice Scarf to make sure you go as fast as possible with Alolan Raichu, though most times Nasty Plot is equally as good. Simisage has also gained Grassy Surge and Grassy Glide, and although it doesn't have Swords Dance, it definitely has a lot of useful coverage like Knock Off, Rock Slide, and Shadow Claw. The terrains themselves can also provide very useful field effects, so they're definitely worth experimenting with.

Mega Blastoise

Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shell Smash
- Water Pulse
- Flash Cannon
- Aura Sphere

Unlike other Water-types, Blastoise does not care at all about Water now being weak to Poison. This is because of its Mega Evolution. Mega Blastoise has been buffed to be Water/Steel type, which means it is completely immune to Poison moves, and it becomes even scarier when you realize how much it benefits from the changes in this mod. Thanks to Shell Smash, Mega Blastoise is a very dangerous sweeper, ESPECIALLY in the Rain to support Whiscash (taking Grass moves Whiscash wouldn't like) and just on all kinds of teams. Its movepool is also extremely versatile, packing coverage options like Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Ice Beam, and much more to take on just about any threat. This is definitely going to be on the watchlist when the meta gets coded, and I might just nerf it by removing Shell Smash so it doesn't just break the meta wide open.

Carnivine

Carnivine @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Autotomize
- Tachyon Cutter
- Giga Drain
- U-turn

Now you might be asking yourself, "what could Carnivine be doing here?" Well, Carnivine has actually been significantly buffed into a more versatile bulky threat. It's now Grass/Steel type and has a lot of new toys to play with, with some notable options being Tachyon Cutter, Gyro Ball and U-turn. U-turn especially turns Carnivine into a slow offensive pivot with a lot of options at its disposal. The set shown here is a more offensive Autotomize set with Tachyon Cutter and Giga Drain for recovery, though it's bulky enough to use a SubSeed set or even a physical set with Swords Dance, Iron Head and Power Whip. It also fits well into Rain teams, helping it neuter its 4x weakness to Fire, and it can synergize quite well with the common threats, gulping up Ground-type moves due to Levitate that some Pokemon would not bother to take normally. This mon was buffed to hell and back, and it's quite the standout, which I really enjoy.

Same 'Ol, Same 'Ol

This section is gonna cover quite a few Pokemon that I still think would prevail, even in a format like this where everything is shaken up. These Pokemon still stand out in the usual ways, so don't be afraid to try them out!

Landorus-Therian is pretty self explanatory, one of the most versatile Pokemon to ever exist, even with the slight nerf to its Attack. I don't need to write much here, it does the same things it has done for literally every single Generation it has been apart of, albeit with a bit more lenience due to all the crazy changes in the meta. You can run quite a lot of sets on this, hell even Hidden Power Ice sets to deal with other Lando-T's and Gliscor. Speaking of which...

The same thing goes for Gliscor, even with the slight nerf to its Defense. Poison Heal is nothing to scoff at, and Gliscor is especially versatile in its sets, maybe not as much as Lando-T, but definitely very expandable. Stealth Rock and Spikes come to mind, and you can also run Defog if you'd like. Swords Dance sets are also quite the buzzword, even with the new bulkier options taking up space. However, they also appreciate Gliscor in its comps, allowing it to do the same things it's done for quite a bit.

Mega Lopunny has probably been indirectly buffed by the changes this format brings. Fairy no longer resisting Bug means Mega Lopunny can fire off U-Turns on the slower Fairy types in the meta, eg. Sylveon and Florges, without much worry, and there's always the scariness of STAB Return and High Jump Kick teams need to deal with. Dusclops especially has become quite weak to Mega Lopunny due to it gaining the Normal-type, and Mega Sableye also probably wouldn't appreciate taking a HJK to the dome. However, Mega Lopunny also gets to relish in the glory of multiple Mega Evolutions. If you Mega Evolved only one other Pokemon before bringing in Lopunny, it can still Fake Out on the first turn to get its Mega active again whilst the opponent can do nothing. It makes Mega Lopunny even more of a threat than it was before, and can definitely facilitate itself on offensive teams if the opponent isn't prepared.

Slowbro, and by extension, its Mega (and Slowking) are quite the oddballs here, but even with its dopey status, Slowbro still prevails. Its walling capabilities are still quite expansive, and allows it to chunk hits from Pokemon it would otherwise have no business dealing with. Its Mega also comes in handy for this, as even though it loses Regenerator, the multiple Mega clause definitely gives it a lot more power, as it does not need to Mega Evolve the moment it enters battle, despite the higher defenses that come with it. If anything, Slowbro is still an interesting Pokemon to play around with, especially with Calm Mind sets and Scald in its toolkit.

And that's everything. Yes, I'm aware Legends ZA isn't out, and that this meta is not coded, but it's fun to hypothesize. A fair note that once Legends ZA comes around, a lot of updates will be introduced, including the new Mega Evolutions and a fair share of other new content. But for now, this is where we're at. Feel free to check the spreadsheet and point out Pokemon I missed that could potentially fit into the meta. Hopefully this was interesting to read in some way!

33 Valuemons​

33 Valuemons is a tier based around Generation 5 mechanics, but with mons from gens 1-4. You can use ANY pokemon, but you have a set budget to "purchase" your team from (similar to draft), so you need to be careful about what you buy. There are many changes from gen 5 to the specific Pokemon, to buff and nerf certain Pokemon. The full changes, pricing and more can be found on the document below.

Link to Changes: It's right here! (TEMPORARY EDIT: The spreadsheet is currently unavailable to access until a few days after the release of Legends ZA, some changes are currently being made)

The updated spreadsheet is now available to access! Sorry that it took nearly two weeks, I was caught up in a lot of things, and now I finally got the chance to release it. Of course, these won't be the only changes (the spreadsheet is currently a little unfinished,) more stuff will be planned, but feel free to take a look!

As for the metagame and what OU would look like, unfortunately, the meta currently is not coded still, so it'll be a while until a definitive OU can be decided. Feel free to use the spreadsheet to theorize what Pokemon could be good!

Summary of the Mod: A complete fakemon mod! Based on an Emerald Romhack that's being worked on, but it's in the same vein as Touhoumon where much of the characters are human, and a lot of them are based on Greek culture! More of a passion that people can have fun with, with the power level between pokemon not being consistent.
Based on National Dex and primarily uses mechanics/moves/abilities from canon Pokemon, though there might be some more additions down the line.

Buzzwords: Gen 9 National Dex-based Micrometa with Fakemon, Custom Abilities and Moves, and Changes to Existing Mechanics

Beaftopia is my shameless ripoff of Scootopia answer to the ever-popular genre of Solomods where one person handcrafts a micrometa from scratch in order to show off their personal design philosophy. In this case, I wanted to try making a mod that plays fundamentally different from base mons without being too divorced from regular mechanics.

In order to achieve that effect, I did a few things. Firstly, defensive Rock types are designed to be cornerstones of the meta. Offensive Fires, Flyings, and Normals are all supercharged, while Waters and Grasses are few and far between, particularly on the offensive side, enabling Rock types to really showcase their defensive chops here. Defensive pieces as a whole are also designed to pair well with the defensive Rock options, covering their weaknesses and enabling them in their niches.

Secondly, status conditions have been completely overhauled. Paralysis and Freeze do not exist here, Sleep only exists with Rest, Pokemon cannot be Badly Poisoned, and Burn is now volatile. However, to compensate, some effects have been changed. Burn, while volatile, is also much easier to spread now, with most secondary effects that can cause Burn having their odds of Burning buffed heavily. This is because Burn now serves as an offensive tool, with its old effects replaced by affected Pokemon losing an additional 12.5% of their HP every time they are hit by an attack. Confusion is now non-volatile, and doesn't prevent the affected Pokemon from attacking (instead dealing damage after the attack completes). This lets it replace Burn as a tool for shutting down physical attackers. Finally, Infatuation has been changed as well, now affecting Pokemon regardless of gender (though Genderless Pokemon are still immune). Instead of immobilizing affected Pokemon, Infatuation now makes those Pokemon deal halved damage when targetting the source of the Infatuation. This makes it an extremely strong defensive tool, especially when combined with the many new/buffed ways of inflicting Infatuation, so players will need to plan around Infatuation users when building with wallbreakers.

Weather has also seen a major overhaul, though not quite as much as status conditions. Rain and Sun no longer boost the power of Water and Fire-type moves respectively, but to compensate, weather set by Drizzle, Drought, or Snow Warning lasts significantly longer. This allows weather teams to serve specific playstyles without being as forced into offensive builds by limited weather turns, but should also avoid some of the more polarizing effects of constant weather. While I'm sure people are going to experiment with different builds, and I encourage them to do so, my vision here was for Sun to serve as a bulky offense/stall weather, Rain to serve as a stallbreaking weather, and Snow to serve as a hyper offensive weather. Most Pokemon with recovery are forced to rely on weather-based recovery moves, driving home the Rain/Sun dichotomy, and Snow abusers are all fast and frail, relying on pivoting and setup to make progress.

Those were the core pieces of my design philosophy, but I've also got a few other miscellaneous things I wanted to mention. The power level is a bit lower than you'd usually see in this kind of mod, with the average BST being around 490. This is because I wanted traditionally weak types/mechanics to have some breathing room without massively inflating stat totals. I've also nerfed some traditionally strong offensive items, namely Choice Band/Specs and Life Orb. In most modern metas, these items choke out the offensive item meta, and I'd like to see more versatility in the items people run. Defensive mons are also a bit more frail and have less reliable recovery, and setup is less widely distributed, in order to emphasize the power of a +1 stat boost.

That's all the yapping I've got on this. I'll be coding this myself, so I'll post an update once everything is live. I hope some of y'all will give the mod a try once it's live, and if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them!​

Idk I thought it'd be funny to have the most barebone meta ever

NatDex: The Bore​

This is NatDex, but a lot of things, that make the game special and interesting, have been removed. That means:

• No Cross-Gen Evos
• No Regional Variants
• No Alternate Formes
• No Legendaries, including Mythicals
• No Ultra Beasts
• No Paradox Pokemon
• No Megas
• No Z-Moves
• No Tera
• No Signature Moves
• No Bitches
• Nothing

As you can imagine, a lot of Pokemon are unavailable, including long term meta staples and newer consistant Pokemon. It would be more efficient to name all the Pokemon that are available and good. For reference, here are the available Pokemon.

Available PKMN

Generation 1


Generation 2


Generation 3


Generation 4


Generation 5


Generation 6


Generation 7


Generation 8


Generation 9

Meta

Pokemon that got better

The Pseudo Legendary Dragons are a lot better here, due to their BST being the highest in meta, aside from Slaking, alongside the removal of a ton of good Fairies. The "lesser" Dragons also provide a good bit of value, depending on what the team needs.


Weather is has some winners and losers. Sand got better, with Tyranitar providing a lot more value and being more consistant and Excadrill being a way stronger Pokemon. Dracovish and Dracozolt also give them good abusers. Rain and Sun have lost a lot of their abusers, but the ones that remain have more opportunity to do what they want to do. Snow is still kinda bad. Baxcalibur can help it, but it isn't worth overall.


Pokemon that got weaker

Loosing Signature Moves hurt these Pokemon really bad. Some of them can still function well even without their signature moves, but they surely miss them.


Due to the rule of "No Alternate Formes", these become issues. So the change is that, their abilities do not function, unless they have a function like how Iceface blocks Physical damage once. That means that Aegislash and Palafin, for example, effectively have no ability.


Born to be young, forced to be strong independent Pokemon. These guys are really hurt, not only due to their Evos being gone, but also being fully evolved, thus Eviolite not working.


No Regional Formes, thus no Regional Evolutions, therefore a lot of species will drop a lot in usefulness.

Watchlist

I think the barebone pool of Pokemon and options add to the charm of the meta, but it is undeniably a far more liniear meta compared to other ones.

For fun, here's the NatDex VR with only the available Pokemon.

Duraludon is definitely out of place in the group, ‘specially with it’s Evo unavailable thus no 600 BST nor Eviolite.

Two more things to note:

• I am surprised you didn’t remove Signature Abilities given some Alternate Forms are activated by those (i.e. Wishiwashi, Aegislash, Eiscue), unless you’d think it wound up removing too much or too little to make a difference.
• Tangrowth wasn’t removed from the NatDex VR list with only available Pokémon.

EDIT: For those reading, ViZar responded to me in the Pet Mod Discord server. Here are his answers, as he don’t want to spam the thread:

Update

After initial feedback, I decided to implement a few things and clear up misconceptions.
First point, are the gimmick Pokemon that change their formes based on their abilities. It was dissapointing for a few that some of these Pokemon are essentially unusable, but I also didn't want Alternate Formes, cause it'd go against the idea of the mod.

Therefore, I decided to allow Alternate Formes that add to the identity of the Pokemon. This sounds vague, but what it means is that Pokemon whose forme change cannot be avoided are allowed.

Pokemon like Aegislash and Palafin can only be played by their gimmicks, except in niche and honestly stupid scenarios where Aegislash only has status moves and Palafin never switches. Since the forme change in this cases are hard to avoid, they will be allowed. Zen Mode on Darmanitan however, will be banned since you can play Darmanitan without the forme change.

As a result, the following Pokemon are playable in the meta:



Another discussion point has been Signature Moves and their removal. Gonna be honest, this has been a really late addition. My main reasoning is that I wanted to add more variety without adding the overwhelming strength of said variety.

Pokemon like Gholdengo, Dracovish, Garganacl, Kommo-o and others add unique roles to the meta without being broken. This has the side effect of removing a lot viability from Pokemon that need the power of their signature move to be viable, essentially being the Paldea Starters, Toxtricity, Falinks, Pawmot and a few more.

I'm still torn on this, so I decided to let you decide if Signature Moves are added or not. Note, if Signature Moves return, Dracovish will be banned and Kommo-o & Garganacl will be added to the Watchlist!

Lastly, I wanted to talk about these two
They had really limited counterplay and now those are gone, meaning that they have a much easier time sweeping. Especially when Signature Moves return, there will be less to check them. I initially thought that they'd be fine for no reason whatsoever, so it makes sense that they'll be removed. Note, Palafin will also be banned, with it being able to Hero now.

That's it for now. I initially wanted to announce this format being playable with this post, but I figured I'll announce that with the results of the poll.
Have a nice one, ciao servus
