Hello everyone, I didn't post in a while but I see that some of you seriously racked their brain to expose potential OMs, so I'm amazed. Let me follow your example (I'm always grateful for your comments, even the harsh words. I did many drafts but none of them convinced me enough to put in suggestion) :
Premise : A Pokémon share same type moves effects with its teammates'.
Rules :
Single battle 6v6. When a status move is used, all effects from the team's same type status moves will be added, and so respectively with offensive ones. The effects follow according to how many active pokémon are left in the team, yet their probability of happening (for offensive moves) and the accuracy of the matched moves are taken into account.
Example : Here is a team of 6 pokémon.

View attachment 588622[Stone Axe/X-Scissor/Endure/Night Slash]
View attachment 588625[Slack Off/Whirlwind/Bulldoze/Ice Fang]
View attachment 588626[Knock Off/Gigaton Hammer/Smack Down/Encore]
View attachment 588627[Rapid Spin/Sword Dance/Brick Break/Earthquake]
View attachment 588628[U-Turn/Scorching Sand/Focus Blast/Sludge Bomb]
So whenever Crunch is used, and as long as teammates are in good shape, it will potentially reduce Defense (Crunch's secondary effect), have a higher chance of a critical hit (Night Slash), and remove an item (Knock Off). Same for X-Scissor which'd let Kleavor switch out of field (U-Turn), or Endure which enables it to withstand next hit, recover HP (Slack Off), then boost its Attack (Swords Dance). However, Whirlwind won't activate because of its negative priority - and so on. The additionnal effects vanish for each Pokémon fainted.

Noticeable Decreased Viability :
Glimmora
View attachment 588612loses a lot of practicality as its main lead role being reversed by any normal type users, because of the potential Rapid Spin effect. It lack of speed would be compensated by its access to Rock Polish ; then, its Toxic + Corrosion combo and its access to Spiky Shield, supported by Leech Seed
View attachment 588613, would certainly make it a good cancer. Yet, it would still be cornered by most of steel type Pokémons, such as Iron Treads

Q&A :
Q1 : Does Pixilate (or equivalent) give effects of fairy type moves to the user ?
A1 : No, this OM's rules prevail any mechanics, so any Pixilate user will get effects from normal type moves.
Q2 : Do n-turns moves benefit effects from the regular ones ?
A2+N : Yes, but only with 2-turns moves : the effects would happen at the second turn.
Note : in case a Pokémon use a normal-type status move and one of its teammates has Wish, it'd get healed next turn.
