Just to provide some history for those who are unaware, prior to generation 8, Mix and Mega included Red Orb and Blue Orb, as they were introduced in the same generation as Mega Stones and shared many similar characteristics. In generation 8 with the introduction of Dexit and the removal of Mega Stones, Mix and Mega's concept was reassessed and it was decided to only focus on Mega Stones moving forward to keep the concept simple. Since then, there have been many calls for Orbs to return to Mix and Mega, but the consensus has always been an "all item-based forme changes or only Mega Stones" as picking and choosing which Item-based formes are included or not is too arbitrary for an OM. With that, there still has been calls to change to an all-item forme based metagame from all levels of the forum. With generation 9 Mix and Mega starting out rather stagnant while the Generation 7 (now removed) ladder continued to rise in popularity, the OM mod team decided now was the time to reassess yet again and with unanimous support from the mod team and Mix and Mega council, here is the proposal:
In ~48 hours from this thread, Mix and Mega will be adjusted to encompass all item-based forme changes, provided there is no significant objection from the community. The introduced items will be as follows:
Introduced immediately:
Blue Orb (+50 Attack, +30 Special Attack, +20 Special Defense | Primordial Sea | N/A | 78 Kg)
Red Orb (+30 Attack, +20 Defense, +50 Special Attack | Desolate Land | +
| 11 Kg)
Rusted Shield (+25 Defense, +25 Special Defense, -10 Speed | Dauntless Shield |+
| 575 Kg)
Rusted Sword (+30 Attack, +10 Speed | Intrepid Sword | +
| 245 Kg)
*Rusted Sword/Shield will also turn Iron Head into Behemoth Blade/Bash on all users.
After Home release:
Adamant Crystal (-20 Attack, +20 Special Defense | N/A | N/A | 167 Kg)
Griseous Core (+20 Attack, -20 Defense, +20 Special Attack, -20 Special Defense | Levitate | N/A | -100 Kg)
Lustrous Globe (-20 Attack, +20 Speed | N/A | N/A | 324 kg)
*Ultranecrozium Z will still be hardcoded out as it was in Generation 7 due to coding issues with two different stat changes possible.
Terastallization: Barring primals and megas, users of these items will also be able to Terastallize [as long as that's legal].
Feel free to use this thread to give your opinions on the change or just theorymon new introductions to the metagame, as always please keep it civil when discussing. Also, please refrain from discussing other topics than the proposed change. That's all, thanks!

-> 
= +10 Atk / -30 Def / +54 SpA / -12 SpD / +52 Spe, +dragon, swap atk/spa and def/spd for ndw
Patching up it’s lower Defense and can go either Physical or Special, though Special tend to be preferable due to higher Special Attack boost (130 Atk vs 160 SpA). That said, Power Whip will be helpful for physical Goodra against switching-in Blue Orb users. Hisuian Goodra, once released, gain a double weakness to Ground, but gain a better Defense and overall better defensive prowess.
Boomburst isn’t restricted or banned, and it’s the only Pokémon currently available with this move, so STAB Boomburst coming from 135 base Special Attack alongside Solar Beam coverage and Calm Mind as set-up is something to look out for.
+ 
Largely interchangable, but Hisuian Zoroark have 5 Speed higher (110 vs base Zoroark’s 105) and 5 Special Attack higher (175 vs 170 after Red Orb Primal Reversion), at cost of becoming weak to Fighting again.
