The Pokemon stats I pointed out were done with the changes I proposed in mind:Dr pumpkinz, I think you're wrong. Type:null doesn't gain any buff/debuff and hp base stat can be increased
Like I said, I think it would be more interesting if a Pokemon got a 20 point boost to ALL of its highest stats, and a 20 point nerf to ALL of its lowest stats, no matter how many highest or lowest stats it has. This would reward Pokemon like Mega Medicham, Mismagius, and even Type: Null for having multiple highest stats, instead of punishing them with smaller boosts. And I think that HP should be ignored to make Mega Evolutions less complicated. Take Audino, for example. Its highest STAT is HP, so it would get a buff in HP. But when it Mega Evolves, its Defense and Special Defense become its highest stats, so should its HP be unbuffed? Houndoom has the reverse issue. Its Defense is its lowest stat, but when it Mega Evolves, its HP becomes its lowest stat. Should its HP be nerfed on the spot? What I'm saying is, all this could be avoided by just ignoring HP. This isn't even the first time HP has been ignored. The Tier Shift meta no longer boosts HP, and the Beast Boost ability doesn't look at HP.Instead of banning the pink blobs, why not just have it so that if a stat should be pushed above the maximum, just have it stop at the max?
Also, I think it would be more interesting if a Pokemon got the 20 point buff/nerf in ALL relevant stats, instead of evenly distributing the changes.
Finally, to avoid Mega Evolution weirdness, I think HP should be ignored when considering the highest and lowest stats.
I do like the idea of Berry Brawl as it lets something uncommon in single shine, let me give me a spin.I havent been in OMs for a while, but a new idea came to me yesterday. Hopefully you like it.
BERRY BRAWL
Metagame premise:
Held Berries grant bonus base stats based on their gen 4 flavor points, with each flavor corresponding to a stat. they also retain their handy one-time effects! explore a range of boosted stats, and some rarely-seen berry effects!
Referencing these values:
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flavor#In_Generation_IV
Spicy = Atk
Dry = Def
Sweet = SpA
Bitter = SpD
Sour = Spe
If a Berry has below 50 total flavor points, its flavor points grant 3x their value as stats. If 50 or over, they grant 2x their value as stats. Here are some examples of what berries grant:
Shuca (10 Spicy, 15 Sweet, 25 total) = +30 Atk, +45 SpA
Ganlon (30 Dry, 10 Sweet, 30 Bitter, 70 total) = +60 Def, +20 SpA, +60 SpD
Just to clarify, the stat boost is additional, is applied at the beginning of the match and is not dynamic- that means using/losing your Berry wont affect your stats, and neither will picking up an opponent's berry. Furthermore, Berries announce themselves upon switchin- this makes the metagame much more playable since all stats can swing up to 90 and it allows ppl to make more educated decisions instead of fearing everything, lol.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Potential bans and threats:
Item bans: Lansat and Starf Berry (they both grant 60 mixed offenses and speed as well as 20 in all defenses, which is just a generic strong boost which outclasses most others + doesnt specialize in any way, pulling away from the heart of the metagame)
Mon bans: possibly Blissey + Chansey, since they can both gain 80+ defense and be somewhat unbreakable to anything not inheriting offenses
Azu Medicham and Diggersby, because of their Huge/Pure Power Scaling
Berry Clause: only one of each Berry per team. This stops the stacking of powerful Berries like Custap and forces some variation.

Magnezone @ Salac Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid / Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice] / Hidden Power [Fire]
- Volt Switch / Psych Up
Magnezone fits this meta very well- instead of being a magnet pull trapper, it abuses Sturdy to ensure it gets to utilise the speed boost from Salac berry. This paired with the bonus 60 SpA, 20 SpD and 60 Spe from the flavor boost (70/70/115/190/110/120) makes Magnezone able to clean up nicely with pseudo-boltbeam coverage and a huge SpA stat.

Kartana @ Rowap Berry
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Sacred Sword
- Swords Dance
- Smart Strike
Kartana is a murderer. It works very well with the Rowap Berry, granting it 80(!) Spe and 20 Atk (59/201/131/59/31/189). This set works well with Swords Dance, and now allows it to get a speed boost after a KO making its sweeping potential even better. Either Kartana or Rowap Berry is probably banworthy!...

Defensive Pokemon can work well too in this meta- for instance Alomomola really appreciates +30 Atk and +45 SpD (165/105/80/40/90/65) in order to not hit like a total wet noodle, as well as become a formidable mixed wall. Whats more, the Rindo Berry covers up a Grass weakness for the first hit, allowing it to cripple its "checks" with a Toxic or Knock Off.

Muk-Alola @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Atk / 108 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Pursuit
- Recycle
Muk-Alola makes great use of a Aguav Berry with Gluttony, gaining a huge SpD boost of 45 (105/105/75/65/145/50). This lets it pursuit trap many psychic and ghost types with ease. Recycle lets it heal throughout the match and act like a wall, although it needs to be careful for the extra hate aimed at Berries in this meta (like knock offs, bug bites, incinerate or whatever else might pop up)

Questions for the community:
Im mainly just curious on what ppl think of the meta and if anyone has any ideas of mons or sets that would be either broken or fun! Or anything that might break the meta..
I like the idea, but I'm not sure about the flavor-stat combos. The colors Bulbapedia uses seems to suggest that:I havent been in OMs for a while, but a new idea came to me yesterday. Hopefully you like it.

Thx for the response. I think I disagree about resist berries though. The stats they give are quite large, and even when telegraphed it stops your opponent from koing you that turn, which is beneficial. For instance you can look at something like yache lando-t, with incredible stats of 89/145/120/105/80/136 and a newfound ability to actually potentially take HP Ices. That benefits an offensive playstyle because you can make a more aggressive switch when the berry hasnt been used yet, for instance switching in on a tapu koko without a speed boost.I do like the idea of Berry Brawl as it lets something uncommon in single shine, let me give me a spin.
- I think HP restoring berries will be the best in Berry Brawl due to their reliable effect, even if the stats boost it provides isn't great when compared to other berries, one other notable holder of it I can this of is Tapu Fini, who appreciate the recovery and defense boost from Iapapa Berry more than Leftovers.
Also to show everyone that Berry Fini is superior to Leftovers Fini even outside of Berry Brawl- By contrast, I think weakness berries will have a decrease in viability even with the stats boosts as the Pokemon must show their berry's name, thus ruining the element of surprise and most players will not hit them with that type unless they're in range of being KO.
- Unnerve still won't be seeing any usage as there isn't anyone that make good use of it, and doesn't stop stats boosts. Same goes to other berry consuming method not named Bug Bite.
I think youre right! But it might be a good idea to leave it as it is because then you can easily teambuild because the order of the sheet matches the order of the stats :) Although I wouldnt mind switching it if thats what people want, because I could build my own sheet that has them in an easier order. Pls let me know if thats something I should doI like the idea, but I'm not sure about the flavor-stat combos. The colors Bulbapedia uses seems to suggest that:
Spicy = Attack
Dry = Special Attack
Sweet = Speed
Bitter = Special Defense
Sour = Defense
Looks good! Question: if a berry's values add up to exactly 50, are they doubled or tripled?Thx for the response. I think I disagree about resist berries though.

If you're restricting the "offensive side" and the "defensive side" each to a maximum of 350, wherever the other points go has to be somewhere in the other half, so you've really forced the minimum to be 250, not 210 or 220. (Due to the differing ranges available to the stats, minimum offense actually ends up being 240 on Pokemon that have higher speed than either attacking stat, without taking the lopsided distribution rule into account but only the "must keep stats in order" rule; likewise minimum defense is 240 anyway on species where one of the attack stats stands alone as the lowest stat.) Considering a 350 split is what you get anyway from a perfect "Alakazam-like" distribution where you max one of the attack stats and the speed, then tank the other attack to the minimum of this range, expect to see a highly generic range of partners, specifically limited to the ones that are indeed capable of pulling out the full 350. (Weavile, for example, is limited to no wider than a 340-260 split, due to the need for speed to be the highest stat, so attack is not capable of exploring all the way out to the end of its individual range.)3. PERFECT PARTNER (This might be a Petmod)
OU-Based Metagame. The Pokémon in the first teamslot gets it’s stats raised/lowered to 600 with individual stats being set to anything within a certain range as long as their relations to each other are maintained. In other words, the lowest Stat is still the lowest, and the highest Stat is still the highest. If two or more Stats are equal, they don’t have to stay equal to each other and can be raised or either way. Examples: Shuckles lowest Stat has to be its Speed, but either Defense, Sp. Defense, or both can be it’s highest Stat(s). Chansey and Blissey Highest Stat has to be HP, but either Attack, Defense, or both can be the lowest. If their BST is already 600 their stats can still be changed.
- Atk or SpAtk = 80-140; Atk + SpAtk = 160-250
- HP or Def or SpDef = 70-150; Def + SpDef = 140-250; HP + Def + SpDef = 210-350
- Speed = 60-130; Atk + SpAtk + Speed = 220-350
- All Pseudo-Legendaries fall into these ranges
2. NO ROCHAMBEAU (rock-paper-scissors)
Metagame Premise: An OU Meta without type weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. Immunities, Resistances, and Weaknesses granted by Abilities still work; like Flash Fire, Dry Skin, Levitate, Heatproof, Thick Fat, etc. All other bonuses granted by Type still work; like Grass-types being immune to Spore, Rock-types getting a SpDef increase in Sand, Electric-types being immune to Paralysis, etc.
The 210 and 220 minimums are just the individual Stat minimums summed up. I wasn’t thinking about the “practical” minimums when I typed that up. Your right that the actual minimums would be 250. The 350 maximum is based on Salamence’s Stats: It has 135 Atk, 110 SpAtk, & 100 Speed for a total of 345. All of the stats are based on the Pseudo-Legends stat ranges, except maximum HP and Speed which should both be 110, but we both know that’s to low.If you're restricting the "offensive side" and the "defensive side" each to a maximum of 350, wherever the other points go has to be somewhere in the other half, so you've really forced the minimum to be 250, not 210 or 220.

I also vote on approach #1 as well. Hidden power is indeed a tricky issue. It could be solved by passing Ivs as well as movepool, this will help teambuilding with pokemon with no Physical moves and 0 ivs on attack. Other things that could be passed are Nature and Evs (only for the sole purpose of making teambuilding easier.)Looks good! Question: if a berry's values add up to exactly 50, are they doubled or tripled?
Also, I have something of my own. I'm preparing the Gen 8 submission for Movepool Rotation (now named Give and Take), and there's one thing that I can't decide on.
Should the moves be placed in the original Pokemon's moveslots, like this?
Volcarona
Ability: Flame Body
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Hurricane
Lurantis
Ability: Leaf Guard
- Leaf Blade
- Superpower
- Defog
- Synthesis
Mawile-Mega @ Mawilite
Ability: Huge Power
- Iron Head
- Play Rough
- Super Fang
- Crunch

Approach #1 has the advantage of probably making moveset legality easier to check, and you don't have to go through the hassle of clicking back and forth between the two Pokemon to check which moves can be used, but it makes the automatically generated EVs and IVs usually counterproductive.
Approach #2 can be somewhat of a hassle to work with while making the movesets at times, but I find it more intuitive, the auto EVs and IVs help at the end (especially on mobile, where the EV sliders don't work), and if move legality is too difficult to check, we could say "screw it" and let cool stuff like Eeveelutions passing Celebrate + Stored Power happen.
Another thing to take into account is Hidden Power type. I'll use Blacephalon as an example. In Approach #1, the Hidden Power type would probably be determined by the Pokemon before Blacephalon, allowing Blacephalon to run Hidden Power Fighting even though it's usually impossible for its Hidden Power type to be Fighting. In Approach #2, Hidden Power types would be determined by Blacephalon's own EVs, so it wouldn't be able to run Hidden Power Fighting. The Hidden Power thing is a tricky issue, as it's not a collection of 18 moves, but rather one move that changes type based on the user's IVs.
Despite what I said in the initial post, I'm now leaning towards Approach #1, but I wanted to hear what y'all think.
The problem with having Hidden Power be determined by the recipient's IVs is that it would require you to manually set the IVs, which is an absolute pain in the rear.DrPumpkinz I vote for Approach 1. For Hidden Power, I think the optimal answer is to make Hidden Power's type determined by the recipient's IVs since the purpose of the meta is to receive only moves and not anything that affects stats. This would apply to stuff like Gyro Ball too: the recipient's speed would count in the calc.
I think I'm going to go with this. I hadn't considered passing more than just moves, but passing EVs, IVs, and Natures actually works pretty well. There are a few hiccups (mostly when a slow, bulky attacker is passing to a fast, frail attacker and vice versa) but overall it's much easier.I also vote on approach #1 as well. Hidden power is indeed a tricky issue. It could be solved by passing Ivs as well as movepool, this will help teambuilding with pokemon with no Physical moves and 0 ivs on attack. Other things that could be passed are Nature and Evs (only for the sole purpose of making teambuilding easier.)
The thing is, every moveslot is a passed moveslot."there's no reason to even bother putting this move in one of the passed moveslots, so don't do it."
Hey, um, you completely forgot to establish what any of this has to do with "partners".PERFECT PARTNER (This might be a Petmod)
OU-Based Metagame. The Pokémon in the first teamslot gets it’s stats raised/lowered to 600 with individual stats being set to anything within a certain range as long as their relations to each other are maintained.
In other words, the lowest Stat is still the lowest, and the highest Stat is still the highest. If two or more Stats are equal, they don’t have to stay equal to each other and can be raised or lowered either way. Any Stat can be set equal to another Stat as long as the original positions are not inverted. So all Pokémon can potentially have 100 in every Stat.
Examples: Shuckle's lowest Stat has to be its Speed, but either Defense, Sp. Defense, or both can be it’s highest Stat(s). You can also make Shuckle's HP equal to its Def or SpD but not higher than either one. Chansey & Blissey's Highest Stat has to be HP, but either Attack, Defense, or both can be the lowest. If their BST is already 600 their stats can still be rearranged.
- Atk or SpAtk = 80-140; Atk + SpAtk = 160-250
- HP or Def or SpDef = 70-150; Def + SpDef = 140-250; HP + Def + SpDef = 250-350
- Speed = 60-140; Atk + SpAtk + Speed = 250-350
- All Pseudo-Legendaries fall into these ranges

Uber’s can be Partners but are otherwise banned. Megas can be Partners without their Mega stones, including Mega-Rayquaza. In-Battle Forms that change Type and/or Base Stats are considered separate Pokémon and cannot change during battle.
For Example: Aegislash-Shield form and Aegislash-Sword form are separate Pokémon with different Stats. Same for Meloetta, Minior, Castform, etc.
However, Cherrim can form-change because it doesn’t affect its Typing or Stats. It gets an invisible Stat Boost from its Ability, but it’s Base Stats don’t change.
Partners retain their Primary Type but their Secondary type matches the Move, including Status Moves, in their first Moveslot. If the first Move is the same as their Primary type, than they’re Monotype. Moves that change type(Hidden Power, Natural Gift, Weather Ball, Judgement, Multi-Attack, etc.), moves that call other moves(Metronome, Nature Power, Mimic, Copycat, Assist, etc.), and Transform can’t be placed in the first Moveslot.
Eviolite and all Signature Items are banned for Partner Pokemon only. That includes Signature Z-Crystals.
They can pick a new ability from a range of abilities based on their Primary type. They can also use any of their own abilities that aren’t Banned.

New Typings will be displayed under Nicknames. Base Stats and Abilities are displayed when you hover your cursor over a Sprite. EVs and IVs aren’t displayed.
I think we could change Stats by putting numbers in (parentheses) within the EV boxes. Example:
HP [ (130) 4 ]
Attack [ (100) 252+ ]
Defense [ (70) ]
Special Attack [ (100) - ]
Special Defense [ (100) ]
Speed [ (100) 252 ]
Is that to complicated or is it doable?
Potential threats: Smeargle, Mew, Pokémon with all equal Stats can have any Stat spread they want.
Is this to complicated to be an OM? Is it actually a Petmod?
How should species clause work? Can I have a Partner Shedinja and a regular Shedinja on the same team, or just one?
What potential threats can you see? What Abilities and/or Moves should be Banned?
What Abilities should go to what types? (Besides the obvious. Swarm and Compound-Eyes on Bug-types, for example.)
What Abilities should go to multiple types?
Should Pokémon get access to Abilities based on their Secondary Type, as well?
Should Megas be allowed in addition to Partner Pokémon? Their similar concepts. I’d like to ban regular Megas, but I want to hear what everyone else thinks.
Should Pokémon learn additional moves based on Primary Typing? For example, all Psychic-types get access to Psychic and Zen Headbutt, All Bug-types get access to Bug Buzz and Lunge, or all Grass-types get access to Leech Seed and Solarbeam?
I decided to put this in its own post with all of the updated information. I hope this doesn't count as a double-post.
