Return to Orre
This is a micrometa that only uses Pokemon obtainable in Coloseum and XD. To bulk out the list a bit more, I have expanded the list to include Gen 4+ evolutions, branched evolutions as well as the Fairy-type. As part of the process, Shadow moves from XD will be turned into usable moves and distributed to Pokemon in the mod. Shadow-type is not part of the mod.
Our slates will also involve buffs/nerfs to Pokemon in the Pokemon here as there's a lot of variety (Ho-oh and Ledian in the same format...). We aren't going to have an Ubers tier so some obviously strong Pokemon will be getting nerfed.
This will be a Nat Dex mod so Megas are here too. Unlike Hoenn Gaiden, this is a Gen 8 mod so all existing moves, abilities and items are here. We are left with a micrometa with 158 Pokemon and a further 22 Mega Evolutions, for a total of 180 Pokemon.
Pokemon selection is:
- The Shadow Pokemon List
- The PokeSpot Encounters
- The Beta Shadow Pokemon (Minun, Kecleon, Castform, Whiscash, Wobbuffet, Grumpig and Wailord)
- Eeveelutions
- Gift Plusle
- Reward Ho-Oh
- Regional Variants of Pokemon already included (Alolan Raticate, Sandslash, Ninetales, Dugtrio, Persian, Muk, Exeggutor and Marowak; Galarian Rapidash, Sirfetch'd, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, as well as Perrserker)
- BST changes by +/- 80
- No Customs
- No Type Changes
- Changes should consider the Pokemon's (attempted) role
- No limit on new moves (moves cannot be removed)
- Abilities may be changed.
Pokemon Name:
Role: (e.g. sweeper that relies on x set-up move, special attacker for y type). Again, do not stray too far from the roles they were initially meant to occupy.
Stat Changes (If Any):
Ability Changes (If Any):
Movepool Changes (If Any):
What sets this Pokemon apart from ones with similar roles?: This is the most important part of any submission. I'm not expecting a thesis paper, but you need to provide some pretty compelling reasoning for why when building a team one would use this Pokemon over other options. For example, if you're trying to buff Blastoise, you need to explain to me what substantial niches your submission has over other Shell Smash sweepers and/or bulky Waters depending on which aspect you want to focus on. "Oh it has x coverage move which can hit y for a bit more damage than other mons" is not good enough.
