Lord Chespin

Yup! I coded it and everything! You probably won't get to test it in the current release, though; I've removed Froakie, Chikorita and Torchic from the starter pool because Battle Bond, Grassy Surge, and Torchic's overall power kinda break the early-game. Don't worry, though; they'll be obtainable eventually!

Once upon a time, there was a simple fan of Pokemon Reborn named Lord Chespin. One day, he discovered that another fan, named Commander, had created a mod of Pokemon Reborn called Pokemon Reborn Redux, which made the game harder and added additional subplots. Amazed by the effort, Lord Chespin decided he wanted to give back to the community in the same way. Around the same time, Lord Chespin discovered a mod for Pokemon Showdown called Cool Funky Mode, which changed several mechanics, rebalanced several Pokemon, and made the game more interesting in general. With these two mods fresh in his mind, Lord Chespin knew what he had to do. And so, after two years of on-again off-again work, I, Lord Chespin, introduce you to... POKEMON REBORN: COOL FUNKY MODE So, what does this mod entail? This mod is a mechanics overhaul mod. If you've ever played a Drayano hack like Pokemon Volt White / Blaze Black or Pokemon Sacred Gold / Storm Silver, you know what to expect. If not, let me break down some of the changes: - Buffing Underwhelming Pokemon! Pokemon like Castform, Silvally, Luvdisc, and Kricketune are actually useful now! - Buffing Underwhelming Moves! Multi-hit Poison Sting? Dual Chop never misses? 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt and Catastropika are regular moves and not Z-Moves? All this and more! - Buffing Underwhelming Abilities! Ice Body works like Flame Body but with Freezing! Clear Body prevents self-inflicted stat drops as well! Rock Head additionally boosts the critical-hit ratio of all recoil moves! Why the heck not?! - Buffing Underwhelming Mechanics in General! Paralysis is returned to its pre-Gen 7 speed reduction! Hail additionally weakens Water- and Fire-type moves! Regular Poison is actually viable, as Toxic Spikes isn't a thing anymore! - Restricting Common Polarizing Moves! Tired of Toxic, Scald, and Stealth Rock being spammed everywhere? Then look no further! - INTRINSIC LEVITATION! This is the big one! If a Pokemon is physically shown to be levitating or flying, it doesn't need Levitate to avoid Ground-type moves! While some Ground-type moves like Drill Run can still hit levitating Pokemon, they can only hit for Neutral damage or less! About 99% of the changes can be found here: http://cancerfairy.weebly.com/ (Yes I am aware of the website's title, it's named after the mod's creator, Papa Cancer; he didn't mean to be offensive) Additionally, we've got some other stuff, too! - A New Subplot! Join the CFM League, an offshoot of the Reborn League, and work with its quirky staff to unravel the new mechanics! - New Events! Wynaut with an exclusive move before the first Gym? Chinchou before Shelly? Sure, why not! - New Sidequests! Recruit every single member of Corey's team, for example! - Gym Leader Rematches! Track down special CDs to take another swing at Gym Leaders! - Three Different Possible Battles per Leader! Ripped straight from Inspired by Pokemon Reborn Redux! Choose from a Singles, Doubles, or Masters battle, and get special rewards for beating the Masters battle! Pictures: Download Link: And One Last Thing: And, uh, that's all, I guess.

Would I be allowed to reboot the Viability Rankings thread, or should I wait for the spoiler lock to lift?

Good call on Regenerator. I updated it to change the ability to Unaware (stopping Pokemon like belly drum Azumarill, swords dance mega Scizor, calm mind Clefable, nasty plot thundrus, and many more), and added the Stockpile set. Also, Tartar, I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't lower a Pokemon's HP via Mega evolution. That's the one thing you can't do.

Hey, speaking of poison-types, meet... Mega Swalot Type: Poison Ability: Unaware HP: 100 Attack: 103 (+30) Defense: 113 (+30) Special Attack: 103 (+30) Special Defense 113 (+30) Speed: 35 (-20) It's blobby, it's bulky, and it's finally out of PU! With great 100/113/113 bulk, this guy can shrug off hits for days and retaliate with a move from its wide movepool! It can run specially-offensive sets, physically-offensive sets, bulky utility sets- heck, even a curse sweeper set! With Unaware as its ability, it can stop setup sweepers like Belly Drum Azumarill, Swords Dance Mega Scizor, and Calm Mind Clefable dead in their tracks, then threaten to poison them. Unfortunately, it suffers from a massive four-moveslot syndrome, as it can't do everything it wants and check every threat it has with one set; additionally, it suffers from the massive amount of psychic- and ground-types in OU, especially Landorus-T, to which it can only dent with an ice beam on the switch and run. Additionally, base 103 attacking stats are kinda low for a Mega, so it usually has to rely on super-effective coverage. Sample Sets: Gastric Distress (Specially-based Offensive Tank) All-You-Can-Eat (Physically-based Offensive Tank) Indigestion (Bulky Support) More Than You Can Chew (Curse Sweeper) But It's Only a Wafer-Thin Mint (Stockpile Staller/Literally Satan) As always, feedback is welcome!
