Welcome to the all new generation of STABmons! X & Y and then ORAS introduced us to many new Pokémon, moves, abilities, and even a new type, and all of it is sure to make a splash in the new and improved STABmons metagame. This time around, I've streamlined the rules to make it easier to play. Otherwise, it's basically the same old metagame you remember from before. Let's take a look around!
+RULES
+CLAUSES & BANS
Pokémon that change typing or lose a type during evolution:
->
Grass & Poison
->
Ground, Steel, & Rock
->
Bug, Steel, & Flying
->
Corresponding type & Normal
->
Water, Fairy, & Normal
->
Rock, Dark, & Ground
->
Bug, Flying, & Water
->
Psychic, Fighting & Fairy
->
Bug, Flying, & Ground or
Bug, Ghost, & Ground
->
Dragon, Flying, & Normal
->
Dark, Poison, & Bug
->
Fire, Flying, & Normal
->
Water, Poison, & Dragon
Pokémon that change typing or lose a type during forme change:
->
Grass & Flying are interchangeable since forme change happens outside battle via the Gracidea.
Although Rotom can change forme outside battle, it isn't allowed to transfer types between formes, except Ghost, because it forgets moves it can't learn when it returns to normal Rotom. For example, under normal circumstances, Rotom-Wash forgets Hydro Pump when it reverts back to Rotom.
Kyurem can also change formes outside of battle, but it stays the same type when it changes, thus it can't carry over Fire and Electric moves from Reshiram and Zekrom respectively. And similar to Rotom, when the Kyurem formes separate with the DNA splicer, they forget their signature moves.
The following Pokémon change only during battle and thus don't transfer types according to the rules of STABmons:
Castform, Meloetta, Darmanitan, all Mega formes.
+VIABILITY RANKING
+CREATIVE & UNDERRATED SETS

Welcome to the all new generation of STABmons!

This time around, I've streamlined the rules to make it easier to play. Otherwise, it's basically the same old metagame you remember from before. Let's take a look around!
+RULES
- Pokémon can use all moves of the same type as their own typing. For example, Eevee is a Normal-type and now gains access to every Normal move along with its usual movepool that it learns via level up, breeding, TMs, HMs, and the move tutors.
- Pokémon that evolve into a new type carry their old typing with them. For example, Espeon is a Psychic-type that evolves from Eevee so it now gains all Psychic moves and Normal moves.
- Pokémon that change forme outside of battle may also transfer moves this way. For example, Shaymin is a Grass-type that changes forme with the Gracidea outside of battle into a Grass- and Flying-type. Since Shaymin-Sky can transform back into regular Shaymin, it can transfer its Flying moves to that forme.
- For a complete list of evolution and forme type changes, see below.
- Megas do not grant their new STABs to their base Pokemon! This is because Mega Evolution only takes place during battle when a Pokemon is unable to learn any moves. This is the same logic behind why Castform can't learn all Ice, Fire, and Water moves.
