TeraForming





Welcome to TeraForming! In this Gen 9 OU-based Pet Mod, only Pokemon with unique Terastalized states (simply called "TeraForms" here) are able to Terastalize, with more Pokemon than just Ogerpon and Terapagos being given these states over the course of 10 slates. Additionally, these TeraForms grant the Pokemon up to a +50 boost to their BST and a new ability, making them very similar to Terapagos' Stellar form, though less drastic.

Welcome to TeraForming! In this Gen 9 OU-based Pet Mod, only Pokemon with unique Terastalized states (simply called "TeraForms" here) are able to Terastalize, with more Pokemon than just Ogerpon and Terapagos being given these states over the course of 10 slates. Additionally, these TeraForms grant the Pokemon up to a +50 boost to their BST and a new ability, making them very similar to Terapagos' Stellar form, though less drastic.
TeraForming Mechanics
To put it in simple terms, here's how TeraForming works in battle:
- Only Pokemon with a TeraForm holding a Tera Shard or a Poke Ball are allowed to Terastalize.
- When Terastalizing, these Pokemon transform into their TeraForm, much like Ogerpon becoming Ogerpon-Teal-Tera or Terapagos-Terastal becoming Terapagos-Stellar
- Like those preexisting forms, the Pokemon becomes their Tera Type and gains a new ability.
- Additionally, these TeraForms have up to a +50 boost to their BST.
- Like Ogerpon and Terapagos, these TeraForms can only ever become one Tera Type, so you won't have to guess what type the Pokemon is about to become.
- Everything else about Terastallization works as normal.
Rules
Submission Phase (4 Days) -
There will be two kinds of slates, Type Slates and Pokemon Slates.
During Type Slates, 3-4 Tera Types will be put up for you give make TeraForms for. You will be allowed to give any Pokemon a TeraForm with the slated Tera Types, with you being able to submit 1 Pokemon per slated Tera Type. Uber Pokemon can be submitted, just as long as you nerf them down to an OU level AND make sure their TeraForm also isn't broken. There will be 6 Tera Type Slates.
During Pokemon Slates, 3 specific Pokemon will be put up for you to make TeraForms for. Any Tera Type can be chosen for these TeraForms. You can make one submission per Pokemon slated. There will be 4 Pokemon Slates.
The template is provided below and walks you through how to submit these Pokemon. Pokemon can be given custom moves and their TeraForm can be given a custom ability, but keep them simple. Council reserves the right to veto any submissions deemed to be unbalanced or uncodeable.
Veto / Review Phase (1 Day) -
During the veto phase, the council will look over all the submissions and warn people if any of their submissions would get vetoed, meaning that they'd get disqualified from voting. This gives people the chance to adjust their submission so that it can be voted on the next day. Additionally, feedback on all the other submissions may be given. All submissions can be edited and new submissions can still be made during this phase, but note that new submissions may be vetoed without warning when voting starts if they're broken or too weak.
Voting Phase (2 Days)
After the submission phase is over, voting will begin. This mod will be using the same voting system as Megas Revisited, where you can vote for as many submissions as you want, with each submission getting a certain number of points based on how you ranked it. An example can be seen below.
For a slate with the Tera Types Normal, Fighting, and Flying, for example, a ballot would look like this:
Normal: Pokemon 1, Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9
With this ballot, Submission 1 for Tera Normal would get 3 points, Submission 2 would get 2, and Submission 3 would get 1. The same goes for Submissions 4, 5, and 6 in the Fighting category and Submissions 7, 8, and 9 in the Bug category, with them getting 3, 2, and 1 point respectively.
You can add as many submissions are you'd like after your third vote, with each one getting 1 point.
Normal: Pokemon 1, Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
So, in this ballot, Submissions 10 and 11 would also get 1 point in the Bug category.
You can vote for your own submission, but it can't be in first place or your only vote in that category. Be sure to mark your self-vote by putting (SV) after it.
Normal: Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This wouldn't be a legal ballot as the self-vote is in first place in the Normal category
Normal: Pokemon 12 (SV)
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This also wouldn't be a legal ballot as the self-vote is the only vote in the Normal category
Normal: Pokemon 2, Pokemon 12 (SV)
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This is a legal ballot because none of the self-votes are in first place or the only vote in a category.
If you vote for only 2 submissions in a category, the first place submission gets 2 points and the second place submission gets 1 point. If you vote for just one, then that submission gets 1 point.
Normal: Pokemon 1 (1 point)
Fighting: Pokemon 4 (2 points), Pokemon 5 (1 point)
Bug: Pokemon 7 (3 points), Pokemon 8 (2 points), Pokemon 9 (1 point), Pokemon 10 (1 point), Pokemon 11 (1 point)
Normal: Pokemon 1, Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9
With this ballot, Submission 1 for Tera Normal would get 3 points, Submission 2 would get 2, and Submission 3 would get 1. The same goes for Submissions 4, 5, and 6 in the Fighting category and Submissions 7, 8, and 9 in the Bug category, with them getting 3, 2, and 1 point respectively.
You can add as many submissions are you'd like after your third vote, with each one getting 1 point.
Normal: Pokemon 1, Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
So, in this ballot, Submissions 10 and 11 would also get 1 point in the Bug category.
You can vote for your own submission, but it can't be in first place or your only vote in that category. Be sure to mark your self-vote by putting (SV) after it.
Normal: Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 2, Pokemon 3
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This wouldn't be a legal ballot as the self-vote is in first place in the Normal category
Normal: Pokemon 12 (SV)
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 5, Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 9, Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This also wouldn't be a legal ballot as the self-vote is the only vote in the Normal category
Normal: Pokemon 2, Pokemon 12 (SV)
Fighting: Pokemon 4, Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 6
Bug: Pokemon 7, Pokemon 8, Pokemon 12 (SV), Pokemon 10, Pokemon 11
This is a legal ballot because none of the self-votes are in first place or the only vote in a category.
If you vote for only 2 submissions in a category, the first place submission gets 2 points and the second place submission gets 1 point. If you vote for just one, then that submission gets 1 point.
Normal: Pokemon 1 (1 point)
Fighting: Pokemon 4 (2 points), Pokemon 5 (1 point)
Bug: Pokemon 7 (3 points), Pokemon 8 (2 points), Pokemon 9 (1 point), Pokemon 10 (1 point), Pokemon 11 (1 point)
If multiple people the same Pokemon in the same category, please specify which submission you're voting for.
If the same Pokemon is submitted in multiple categories and ends up in first place in both, it will only win in the category where it received more points.
For most slates, the next submission phase will start immediately after voting ends for the previous slate. Every 2 slates or so, one or more roomtours will be held so we can see what state the metagame is in. This may result in winning submissions being nerfed or buffed, depending on what we learn. Buffs and nerfs can also happen at any other time as we learn stuff between roomtours.
Discussion Phase (1 Day) -
After the voting phase ends, we'll have a quick 1 day break to discuss the new winners and prep for the next slate, as well as early playtesting if I get the new slate coded quickly.
Playtesting Phase (Every ~2 Slates, 1-2 Days) -
As mentioned above, we will have roomtours about every other slate so we can see how the metagame is and see if any winning submissions need to be adjusted. Roomtours will be held on DragonHeaven unless stated otherwise.

:sm/pokemon:
Pokémon: The Pokemon you're making the Tera form for.
Tera Type: The Tera Type of the Tera Evolution. Tera forms can only ever become 1 Tera Type, like Terapagos' Stellar or Ogerpon-Wellspring's Water, for example.
Type of Tera Evolution: The type of the Tera form. This type does not have to include the Tera Type of the Tera form nor does it have to match the type of the base form. This type decides what other types the Tera form has STAB on and if its Tera Type grants it an an Adaptability boost on moves of its Tera Type.
Ability: The ability of the Tera form. Can be custom, but it must be codeable.
Stats: The stats of the Tera form. These follow the same rules as Mega Evolutions but so you CAN change the HP stat. Instead of a set +100 BST boost, you're allowed to add up to +50 BST. This means you can add less than 50 BST if you wish.
New Moves: New moves the Pokemon learns, may be added to help it utilize its new Tera form. Keep in mind that every Pokemon you could submit will already have access to STAB move of their Tera Type due to Tera Blast. New moves can be custom, but they must be codeable and 99% of the time you should only add 1 custom move.
Removed Moves: Moves removed from the Pokemon's movepool for balancing purposes. Note that removing moves will also remove them from the prevolution's movepool.
Competitive Overview: A brief summary of what the Pokemon does in the metagame and why it should be added
Example Submission:

Pokémon: Hydrapple
Tera Type:
Type of Tera Evolution:
Ability: Shell Armor
Stats: 106 / 80 / 135 (+25) / 135 (+15) / 90 (+10) / 44 (590 BST)
New Moves: Focus Blast
Removed Moves: N/A
Competitive Overview: I don't know what Kieran was cooking with his Tera Fighting Hydrapple, but here you can turn the bulky Regenerator pivot into a dangerous wincon with Acid Armor + Tera-boosted Body Presses that you can't crit through due to Shell Armor. Focus Blast gives Nasty Plot Hydrapple another STAB if you want it.
*Special Cases: For Pokemon with in-battle form changes (being Meloetta, Mimikyu, Eiscue, Minior, Morpeko, Cramorant, and Palafin), you may give each form a different base typing, stat spread, and ability. The form that the Pokemon in is when it Terastallizes decides which TeraForm it will be in for the rest of the game. Doing this for these Pokemon is not required, if you only submit one TeraForm for a mon with in-battle forms, Terastallizing any of its forms will give you that one TeraForm.
Example Submission of a Special Case:


Pokémon: Minior-Meteor & Minior-Core
Tera Type:
Type of Tera Evolution:
(both)
Ability: Dauntless Shield (Meteor), No Guard (Core)
Stats:
Meteor - 60 / 60 / 130 (+30) / 60 / 130 (+30) / 50 (-10) (490 BST)
Core - 60 / 130 (+30) / 50 (-10) / 130 (+30) / 50 (-10) / 130 (+10) (550 BST)
New Moves: Focus Blast, Aura Sphere, Reversal, Hurricane, Body Press, Recover, Upper Hand
Removed Moves: N/A
Competitive Overview: Meteor form serves as a very bulky wall, chunking things with STAB +1 Body Press from 130 Defense, while Core form is hard to obtain, but when you do, you get a dangerous sweeper with either a Special Attacking Shell Smash set or an Endure Reversal set
