Resource Solomods Megathread

[sojukirin]

Name of Mod: Balanced Createmons

Mascot: Wishiwashi

Link to Changes: Google Docs

Summary of the Mod: In Balanced Createmons, you can use any Pokemon, including illegal/unobtainable ones (such as MissingNo.) You can then customize their stats, types, abilities, & moves. Each of these aspects cost points, and each team gets 100,000 points to spend.

Competitive Overview: Balanced Createmons is already played competitively on Nihilslave's custom server and has an active community of players on Discord. It has its own builder and a formula which determines the point cost of Pokemon. Due to the nature of the mod, its meta is similar to Balanced Hackmons.

so I promise the next round of approvals will be less than 10 months from now!

Good news, the next thread approvals were less than 10 months this post!

I'm happy to announce thread approval for 1 very recent Solomod that has already come in with enough of a playerbase to warrant having a threadneedle so without further adieu, the following Solomod can have their own thread in the Solomods Subforum:
sojukirin's Balanced Createmons

There are a couple other Solomods I can see getting a thread in the near future (including a certain doubles-based mod in particular) so I'm hoping that it won't be long before I'm announcing another thread approval!

See you later!

35 Pokes

Summary: Every month we use a program to generate 35 random Pokémon from a pool. We then play for a month in a meta where those Pokémon, and those Pokémon alone, are legal. The idea being to create a limited and unique meta where Pokémon that would otherwise never see play can not just be used but often meta defining.

This is the pool of Pokémon that are currently legal, however more likely than not by the time you read this this will be out of date, as we'll have rolled next months 35. For those curious: Weezing-Galar, Regice and Oricorio-Sensu are considered to be the best Pokémon, however everything here has a legitimate niche, even Seaking and Shelgon.

Other rules:
1. Pokémon are set to 100 (or lower)
2. Z moves are banned, however Gems are not
3. Mega-Evolution, Gigantamaxing, and Dynamaxing are all banned
4. Tera is illegal
5. Hidden Power is illegal
6. No Evasion boosting moves, abilities or items: Including, but not limited to: Bright Powder, Double Team, Minimize, Snow Cloak, and Sand Veil
7. Shadow tag is banned, however Arena Trap is not
8. Forms are treated as entirely distinct pokemon from each other. If only Dugtrio-Alola is generated then you can only use Dugtrio-Alola.
9. There is no species restriction, however there IS a form restriction: If multiple forms of the same Pokémon species are generated you are allowed to put both on your team.
10. Sleep Clause is in effect
11. Moody Clause is in effect
12. Kings Rock is banned
13. The following moves are banned: Fissure, Sheer Cold, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Last Respects
14. Baton Pass is legal, however You cannot have a combination of Moves, Abilities or Items that allows you to intentionally or unintentionally pass boosts, a substitute or passive recovery (Ingrain, Aqua Ring...) to another Pokémon. This includes abilities such as Defiant and Contrary.
15. Battle Bond is banned
16. This format is played in Custom Game on pokemon showdown. All tournament games must be played in custom games using that months challenge code.

Where is it played?: matchmaking is hosted on the 35 Pokes Discord, and games are ran using direct challenges.

Name of Mod: RBY Recolored

Link to Changes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KqmnxRzM_v8FOWBM98axtIwA-LWeFEs1CUu2NFIdXwY/edit?usp=sharing
Summary of the Mod: This is just a fun go at splashing the waters of RBY OU. RBY but amplified, more options, higher power levels. The first changes mean to spread more healing into the game, offer competition to zapdos and rhydon, and introduce more grass, waters and fires!
Competitive Overview Ideally top 6 mons stay on top, whilst rhydon/zapdos more easily dropped. New mons designed with top 8 in mind. Not an expert and this is most definitely going to see change!

EDIT: Better format for readability!!

Galarian Weezing I can get, also Sensu Oricorio due to Quiver Dance and STAB, but how did Regice managed to be considered as one of the top tiers despite being a slow Ice-type? Was it because being the only Ice-type and huge SpD give it attacking clout among other bulky Pokémon?

Odd how Shelgon is selected over Salamence. Primeape is understandable considering how overly optimized Annihilape is, but Salamence seems harmless in comparison, though a lack of Fairy-type other than Wigglytuff and faster Dragon-type may have something to do with this.

!randpoke is the command used, and iirc anything below a certain threshold is either excluded or automatically evolved, i dont remember completely. this is all knowledge i have as a player as i dont lead or help really with the project

 

[Low-Key]

I didn't wanna do this, but I'm retiring Roulettemons: The Solomod. There are a couple of reasons as to why, but the main reason is because the RTS teambuilder absolutely broke when DH was ported to Generation 9. However, I am planning a new release of the solomod (you may have seen it already in the Solomods and Roulettemons Discord servers.) Stay tuned!

As far as I know, things that are too powerful are replaced with a pre-evolution that may not necessarily be on the list itself (which is how we got Drakloak in January). Only the NFEs which were determined to be viable enough on their own are currently on the list of potential pokemon

Mascot:

Summary of the Mod: Every Move, Held Item, Ability and Pokémon's base stats will work like they did in their debut generation. Raichu has 100 base Speed instead of 110, Blizzard has 120 BP and 90% acc, Protean activates for every move used, etc. (National Dex Based)

• Every Gen 1 Pokémon will have SpA and SpD stats equal to their Special Stat in RBY (Ex: Charizard has 85 SpA and SpD, Gengar has 130 SpA and SpD, etc.);
• Any move that affected Special in Gen 1 (ie Psychic, Amnesia and Growth) will now affect SpA and SpD at the same time (meaning Amnesia is a double Calm Mind, but Cosmic Power will still never raise SpA, since it didn't debut in Gen 1);
• The type chart will remain unchanged;
• Status conditions also work as normal(So no super OP Freeze and no Electric type getting Paralysed);
  • For this reason, Leech Seed will not be affected by the toxic counter, unlike in gen1 (I don't want the meta being dominated by sub-seed toxic whimiscott lol)
• Every Pokémon's movepool and Ability options will remain the same (otherwise early Gen Pokémon would suck);
• Moves introduced prior to Gen 4 will have their original type-dependent categories (Ice Punch is Special, Hyper Voice is Physical, etc.).
• Struggle will remain unchanged to avoid endless battle clause scenarios.
• Similarly, Hidden Power's patterns will be the gen 3 ones due to IV mechanics being unchanged (EVs too by the way).
• All of the PLA Moves will have their gen 9 effect, due to the game's different mechanics and lack of PvP
• Due to technical limitations, Counter can no longer cause the battle to desync.

The Winners :)

Cloyster @ White Herb
Ability: Overcoat
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shell Smash
- Blizzard
- Tera Blast
- Hydro Pump
Icicle Spear Sucks now, but Cloyster now has a solid 85 SpD, meaning that setting up is much easier now. Plus Blizzard is a good replacement and it has acess to the incredibly annoying Clamp.

Do you remember that weather was so broken in Gen 5 that weather abilities were nerfed to not be permanent? Well forget about that, 'cause the chaos is back! Also... Hail Yeah! Because Hail is also back and Snow is now only settable via Chlilling Reception and Snowscape and its pretty much useless anyways.

Yeah... let's talk about the Great Tusk on the room: Amnesia. Now this move raises SpA and SpD by two stages, basically like a double Calm Mind. Scream Tail and both Slowkings in particular also have Stored Power to get past Unaware Pokémon.

Recover has 32 pp now... yikes.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Tera Blast
- Soft-Boiled
- Calm Mind
Chansey has its precious 105 SpA back. Calm Mind sets probably will be quite hard to stop thanks to its massive bulk and recovery.

Dragapult @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Darts
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute/ Psychic Fangs
Dragapult has Physical Shadow Ball now... is this really getting banned from another OM?

Protean and Libero, like I mentioned earlier, now work like they did prior to being nerfed. Time to see who is getting banned first.

These are far from the only things that was unnerfed here. Aegislash, Soul Dew, among othwrs, will definitely shake up the metagame as well.

The Losers :'(

Forget about Dual Screens, they only affect the user now. Aurora Veil still works jut fine though.

Defog no longer removes hazards from your side of the field. Now the only ways to remove hazards are Rapid Spin (which now is 20bp and doesn't raise speed) Mortal Spin (Glimmora) and Tidy Up (very limited distribution). You can also play against hazards with Magic Bounce (Mega Diancie seems particularly good with Amnesia) and the always reliable Heavy Duty Boots.

At least you can only have one layer of Spikes now, which pokémon like Samurott-Hisui, Garchomp and Skarmory definetly don't apreciate

While Dragapult may have loved that Shadow Ball is Physical now, I wouldn't say the same about other, special attacking Ghost types. Now the only half decent, non signature Special Ghost moves are Hex and Ominous Wind.

/

Losing Stabs to the lazy early gen Physical-Special Split is never fun. For example, Crunch, Knock Off (which now only has 20bp anyways), Dragon Claw and Outrage (now only 90bp) are all special now. Dark types still have some decent options (like 80 bp Sucker Punch), but Dragon types aren't nearly as lucky (Dragon Rush isn't exactly good).

Unlike Cloyster, Pokémon like Breloom, Kyurem-Black and Cinccino hate losing Icicle Spear and Bullet Seed.

Weak Armor now only raises speed by one stage.

Thats right, the Sitrus and HP pinch Berries are useless now, which only really affects Belly Drum, Shed Tail and Harvest users anyway, but still relevant enough to be mentioned.

Questions for the community:

• Currently nothing

If there is something that I may be missing, just let me know please!

Hey, huge news!! BTS1 will finnaly be playable soon!!
Around a month ago I decided to finnaly finish making the custom server where I would host my meta, but had too many trouble setting the client up. I was about to start college and wouldn't have a lot of time to finish this. Sooo I decided to talk with the legend himself Yak Attack (who helped me out a LOT during the develpment of the mod) and ask if could host the mod instead of me. He said yes and said that the meta would soon be playable on glitchshowdown.com. (and yes I forgot to announce this earlier bc of college and honestly I completely forgot lmaoooooo)

Name of Mod: Dex Reversal
Mascot:
Link to Changes: Spreadsheet
Summary: Dex Reversal is a Gen 9 Natdex metagame where all pokemon's stats are swapped with the opposite pokemon in the pokedex. Pecharunt has swapped stats with Bulbasaur, Terapagos swaps with Ivysaur, etc for every pokemon in the dex. Forme changes still add stats, so Terapagos-Normal would be 60/62/63/80/80/60, which are Ivysaur's stats, while Terapagos-Terastal would be 65/92/88/120/120/85, which is Ivysaur's stats + the stat increases from the Terastal forme.
