Make 3 changes that will absolutely shake up the meta next gen.
Bonus points if you ruin all-time OU since debut™ and OU since debut with friends™ mons Gengar, Starmie, Tyranitar, Scizor and Skarmory drops
Evasion stat
Critical Speed
Fire-type and ice-type equivalents of Stealth Rock.
An ability that acts as a taunt on switch-in. Those tourneyfags would ban that shit faster than greens on a feminist's plate.
Bring back Gen I crit mechanics
Hazards can crit
Regardless of species, fathers can pass down abilities
Hope you like more hyper offense
>>24678581
>making Grass even worse
Not that that's going to make any sort of impact on OU but jesus christ
All mons now learn sketch four times.
Fathers can pass down abilities.
Trainers can use items (potions, burn heals, etc) on their pokemon in online battles.
That enough?
Remove King's Shield. Aegislash drops back to OU, while Starmie and Gengar drop a tier.
Give Sand Rush's effects to all Pokemon with Sand Force and Sand Veil. Smogon is overwhelmed and is forced to just ban sand. Tyranitar kisses OU goodbye.
Finally, extend the effects of Gravity and Trick Room to 8 turns. OU becomes filled with powerful, bulky and fast sweepers. Priority becomes even more important than it is now.

>Allowing Dragons with Contrary to exist.
Do you WANT to kill us all?
Luck is now a stat that alters how often secondary effects and crits occur. Doesn't affect accuracy.
A base Luck stat of say, 50 means that you're never ever ever getting that Scald burn, while a base Luck stat of 180 guarantees critical Fire Blasts with burn every time.
>Posion SE against Water
>Ice Beam gets its freeze chance increase to 30%
>Pokémon imported from older Gens loses all its attacks
Gen 1 hyper beam mechanics
>-ate users running around with hyper beam and giga impact
>>24678589
>Contrary Infernape
>Huge Power Slaking
Slaking instantly in AG.
>>24678645
>Implying most dragons have such a dangerous movepool and Special stat to run off of
>Heavily implying DracoSpam will make things like Druddigon better
Not gonna lie, you're hilarious.
I've always thought it'd be fun if False Swipe had 180 BP
Curveball:
-Rock Types clear stealth rocks upon entering (Makes no logical sense but whatever)
Classic
-Equivalent to *burn* that drops special attack
Crits now ignore type disadvantage
>>24678590
Actually I think an Ice type rocks would have Lando-T's asshole gaping open harder than any grass type
- Steel regains its Ghost resistance
- Psychic gets a sound based priority move with fairly good distribution
- Pursuit gets bumped to 60BP
Good luck Gengar
>>24678742
>Wanting the likes of Hydreigon and Goodra running around with Contrary
>wanting to face Assault Vest Goodra with +6 Sp.Atk
>Hydreigon also gets Superpower.
Are you some kind of masochist?
>>24678561
Introduce items that lengthen the duration of Gravity, trick room, and the terrains.
Bring knock-off's power back down to 20.
Make all the -ate abilities no longer multiply base power by 1.3 - now they just change the typing.
3rd type
5 attacks
2 abilities at the same time
how creative am i?
>>24678690
Sylveon quickbanned to ubers
>>24678581
Starmie would become even better.
>Stealth Rock is removed
Starmie and Skarmory loses their purpose, Scizor gets BTFO by the urge of Moltres and Memezard Y, and Tyranitar no longer has the monopoly on weather.
>remove physical/special split again
Gengar is gone.
There we go.
>>24679142
>gengar, starmie, and skarmory would drop
You are unbelievably fucking stupid.
>>24678561
1. 1% chance of ability switch in the middle of a battle
2. ubers is no longer a thing
3. items gain secondary effects (magnet gives off same effect as magnet pull ability, volt absorb produces charge effect, ect)
enjoy
You know those moves power trick and power split.
New move!
Power play. User and foe swap all stats but HP. +3 priority. Universal TM
A pokemon is introduced with an ability that is the auto-ability for snatch that magic bounce is to magic coat. Sure hope you weren't planning on using any self targeting moves like setup or recovery!
Mimic allows a pokemon to learn a move for a little longer, so any pokemon that learns mimic may enter a battler with any move (just one) with 5pp.
Suicide moves have priority over switching (like pursuit), and +1 priority in general.
Enjoy the metagame guys.
Speed is now quantitative rather than 'moves first or second'. Meaning that a pokemon with 300 speed gets twice as many actions as a pokemon with 150. This stacks across turns so it's possible to act once on one turn and twice in the next if your speed is not an integer multiple of your opponent's.
Trick room now works with ratios.
Stall is kill, Serperior now ou. Trick Room Slowpoke new meta
>>24681905
>Serperior now ou
Bruh, it's already OU.
Stealth Rock being Super effective requires 2 or 3 layers, like Spikes.
Make Fairy only resistant to Dragon rather than immune.
>>24679192
Says the mad autist on /vp/
>>24678561
I only need one.
All non-Gen 7 Pokemon are banned.
>>24678561
REMOVE______
Does Scizor even count? It wasn't even good until Gen 4.
