Per the vote, Normal STAB now has the description changed from
Normal STAB; +1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.
to
Normal STAB; moves that match the Type (Normal, Ice, Grass, etc.) of the move used in the previous action cost 1 less energy.
Changed documented in the Gen 7 DAT. Normal-types now only has to retain memory of their past moves to get into the habit, and not comb every cubic inch of the ground they stand on for elements to power-up their attacks. Morning news from Malaysia, Zt reporting.

Per vote, Future Sight, Doom Desire, Egg Bomb (Trap), and all similar moves (something something Delayed Damage Attack?) will follow contemporary in-cartridge precedence, with the only exception being being able to KO a target under the effects of Endure. This declaration will help future referees' judgement as supremacist proponents of "Make Endure Great Again" continues to push against the setback. Evening news from Malaysia, Zt reporting.

ASB Substitutions Chance Clauses are now checked at the priority of the Pokemon's originally ordered move by default - the Clauses may still be worded explicitly specifically to check at other times. Critics foresee possible loops involving chaining multiple Substitutions together involving both Move and Chance Clauses, but supporters are positive that this is a step in the right direction towards clarifying what was always left in the dark. Late night news from Malaysia, Zt reporting.

In a flurry of Week 1 votings as a show of competence, the 16th Council added some minor buffs to Stick and Old Amber, and nerfed Houndoominite to no longer supercharge Mega-Houndoom upon Mega-Evolution. But despite having more item reforms yet to come, with major conservationist representatives this term, it is difficult to imagine major shake-ups to the metagame happening in the near future.
