VaporeMons
Welcome to VaporeMons, the third mod in the SylveMons series! Like JolteMons last generation, this mod looks to add and change moves, items, and abilities to create a more interesting Gen 9 OU metagame. Pokémon can also be given non-stat adjustments.
RulesVaporeMonsWelcome to VaporeMons, the third mod in the SylveMons series! Like JolteMons last generation, this mod looks to add and change moves, items, and abilities to create a more interesting Gen 9 OU metagame. Pokémon can also be given non-stat adjustments.
Submission Phase (5 days) -
During the submission phase, you can submit 4 new or changed moves, items, and abilities as well as 4 non-stat adjustments to Pokémon. Templates are provided below. There are very few restrictions for what you can do with moves, items, and abilities, but please keep your submissions balanced and codeable because the council reserves the right to veto any submission deemed uncompetitive, broken, or unfeasible. For Pokémon Adjustments, you can change the Pokémon's typing, abilities, and add or remove moves. You cannot create new moves or abilities for the Pokémon, you must submit those as part of your moves or ability submissions. Multiple moves / items / abilities can be subbed in one slot if they are clones of each other and multiple Pokémon can be adjusted in one slot if they are direct counterparts of each other.
Voting Phase (1 day) -
During the voting phase, you may vote for up to 6 submissions in each category. You are allowed 2 self-votes. The top voted submissions will win and be added to the metagame, with at least 2 winners in each category.
Discussion (1 day) -
The discussion phase of each slate gives us a quick period of rest to get the newest slate coded, discuss what we got in the newest slate, and potentially do a little playtesting before the next slate. Unlike in JolteMons, distribution discussion is no formally longer part of the discussion phase, with distribution now being decided by council.
How is VaporeMons different from SylveMons or JolteMons?
VaporeMons follows the same format and vision and JolteMons did last generation, seeking to create an interesting take on the current OU metagame while remaining competitive. However, a couple changes have been made for VaporeMons this time around:
- VaporeMons does not share continuity with SylveMons or JolteMons, so none of the changes from either mod are present. Elements from either mod can be resubmitted, but do note that just because it's in SylveMons/JolteMons doesn't mean that it won't be vetoed here.
- As mentioned earlier, there is no longer a formal distribution phase. Distribution of new moves and abilities will be decided by council. You can still suggest ideas for distribution even if you're not on council, but distribution will now be more in the hands of council than it was last generation.
- Winners can also be nerfed if they prove to be broken after being added.
- Like JolteMons, VaporeMons will last for 10 slates.
Other
- VaporeMons is based on Gen 9 OU, so National Dex Pokemon cannot be submitted for adjustments. Dexited moves, items, and abilities can be submitted, as that's no different from subbing a new move/item/ability.
- Terastalization will be banned immediately. With Terastalization being banned, Regieleki, Espathra, and Volcarona are unbanned. Ogerpon-Hearthflame and Terapagos were Pokemon introduced after VaporeMons started that were also banned primarily because of Terastalization and are also unbanned.
- One playtesting roomtour will take place after every even numbered slate, allowing us to check in on the state of the metagame and make any balance changes if needed.
