Stats are the defining characteristic of Pokémon, the things that make every breed of Pokémon different from the other.
We're going to take that individuality away like the evil people we are.
Introducing StereoType!
In this meta, every Pokémon will have the same stats as every other Pokémon of the same type. These stats are determined by the statistical averages of each type.
Dragons are now all offensively skewed, pure steel types can never go above 55 base speed, and normal types really don't have much going for them.
Checks are now unchecked, powerful Pokémon are worthless because of their typings, and somehow I managed to screw over bug types even worse.
This metagame is probably going to play like a mix of Averagemons and Mediocremons with a little bit of its own twist, so be prepared!
The base averages are all pulled directly from Bulbapedia and rounded to the nearest whole number.
Here is a link to an excel spreadsheet for the stats of every type currently being used.
Banned Pokémon/Items:
- Huge Power
- Pure Power
- Light Ball
- Deepseatooth
- Deepseascale
- Thick Club
- Eviolite
This meta also features standard OU clauses.
Things to be aware of:
Also, if anyone wants to code this and put it on a server, that'd be cool. I haven't the knowledge or the time for that at the moment.

This meta also features standard OU clauses.
Things to be aware of:
- Dual typed Pokémon will average their stats between their two types. For example, Dragonite will have the average stats of a Dragon type and a Flying type.
- Pokémon with Protean will have the stats of their original typing. Eg. Greninja will have Water/Dark stats always, and Kecleon will always have Normal stats.
- Arceus and Kecleon with Color Change will always have normal type stats.
- Pokémon that change types when they Mega Evolve will change their stats according to their new type, except for their HP stat, which will stay the same.
- Priority is a huge thing in this meta, considering how relatively close all the speeds are.
- Abilities, typing, and movesets are absolutely key to the usability of a Pokémon, moreso than ever.
