Welcome to
BasePowerMons!
note: it will be extremely hard for your pokemon to stay alive in this meta
This metagame is standard XY OU, but has one rule that may completely change the viability rankings for it.
Each Pokemon retains its same movepool, abilities, and base stats. However, the moves themselves are changed completely. They each retain the same typing, but their base power change. For each letter there is in the name of a move that does damage, that move gets +8 Base Power. Spaces count.
For example, take Moonblast. It is normally base 95 power. However, in BasePowerMons, since it has 9 letters, it is nerfed to base 72 power. However, since Fire Blast is now being nerfed to a base 64, Flamethrower takes the spotlight as a new base 96 completely accurate move!
And well, then there's the base 56 power Thunder.
Also, since priority moves have very long names (Extreme Speed, Ice Shard, Quick Attack, etc.) they will be capped at base 80 power (which is strong for priority so argue about it), with the exception of Extreme Speed, which is now base 100 power to still give it a niche and due to its low PP as well as rare distribution.
STAB is still factored in, so a now Base 80 Fire Punch with STAB is basically a base 120 power Fire Punch.
Also, Hidden Power (now base 96) does not factor in what type it is. Hidden Power Fire will not be base 136 power.
Fixed damage moves such as Seismic Toss will now stay the way they are, but moves such as Gyro Ball will adapt to the new rule.
Aegislash (Base 88 Shadow Ball, Base 80 Shadow Sneak for priority, Base 96 Sacred Sword, and Swords Dance and Kings Shield)
Mega Manectric (Base 88 Thunderbolt, Base 88 Volt Switch, Base 96 Flamethrower, Base 88 Hidden Power Ice, as well as Intimidate)
Thundurus (Prankster Thunder Wave and Nasty Plot, complimented by Base 88 Thunderbolt)
Dragonite (Base 88 Dragon Claw, Base 80 Fire Punch, Base 100 Extreme Speed as well as access to Dragon Dance)
Mega Venusaur (Base 80 Giga Drain and Leech Seed)
Landorus (Base 88 Earth Power and Base 96 Hidden Power Ice)
Mega Medicham (High Jump Kick gg, Thunderpunch gg)
Talonflame (Base 240 Acrobatics, with STAB and the effect)
Possible suspects:
Aegislash
Heliolisk (Parabolic Charge)
Talonflame
I'm not sure where this playable yet, so for the moment, discuss!
