STABmons

Composition

STABmons is an Other Metagame based on OU with one simple change: Pokémon now learn all moves that match their typing. Eevee, a Normal-type, has access to every Normal move in the game plus all the regular moves it learns naturally. This access to moves continues with evolution, so Sylveon, a Fairy-type Pokémon that evolves from Eevee, now learns all Fairy and Normal moves.

This metagame is run by in the hills and a council. You can discuss strategies with friends in the Other Metas room on the simulator or in the main thread on the forums.

Play Restrictions

  • All standard OU clauses apply, plus:
  • Sleep Moves Clause: All sleep-inducing status moves, including Yawn, are banned.
  • Generation Jumping, or transferring moves from one generation to the next due to type changes, is allowed, unlike previous generations. However, it only works for moves that a Pokémon could've gotten in that generation. For example, Clefable can use any Normal-type move introduced in Generation 5 or prior, but it cannot use moves introduced Generation 6 or above, like Boomburst.
  • A Pokémon must be able to learn its new moves outside of battle similar to learning a TM. This means that some formes don't transfer their types backward since they cannot learn TMs outside of battle. For example, Galarian Darmanitan-Z does not transfer all Fire-type moves to regular Galarian Darmanitan, and thus Galarian Darmanitan cannot use any Fire-type moves it doesn't already know.
