Welcome to Itemize! The metagame that toys around with neither Pokemon, moves, abilities, or mechanics, but rather items! And how might you ask? By simply removing the species restriction on all non-form changing items! Yes, your dreams of threats like Light Ball sweepers and Eviolite walls all come true here! And honestly, the premise is so simple, so it doesn't require really any more explanation than that.
Clauses
Standard OU Clauses
Species restriction on normal items are lifted*
Soul Dew is unbanned
*No, mega stones, primal orbs, and the like do not work on everything, only the Pokemon they're meant for. There's already a meta that directly does that and a couple more that do similar.
So feel free to discuss what potential threats and dangers that might arise from these powerful items becoming available to all! And also weep for the things that will fall behind in this meta! Especially common and dominate things in standard or even many other tiers!
Also imagine Light Ball Mega-Rayquaza.
Also also, while I think the meta name is decent, am open to better suggestions. No, Almost Any Item is not a better suggestion.
