The DB Tier (For the server)

Question

The DB Tier (For the server)

4,552 views

Before I start this, I hope this post won't cause to much controversy as it will only be temporary and once the tier is made this post will be hidden.

The Idea:
The idea is that I will create a tier for the server which is built solely around the community's ideas. Once all the ideas have been compiled into one, I will make the tier and release it onto the server so we have a more unique way of battling.

What can you do?
Basically I need you to post an answer with suggestions for what the tier could or couldn't have. Please make your post easy to read any keep personal preferences like "Every time I enter a battle I get +1 on all my Pokemon" and such. The list below is all the types of areas you can suggest a change in:

Definites:
- Banlist (Pokemon, Abilities, Items, Moves)
- New Moves
- New abilities
- Generation selection

Possibilities:

New Weather
New status
New Pokemon (Hard now that 3D models were introduced.)

If you think there's something else I can add it just comment below as there as probably more things I could add in. Also feel free to suggest a more Original name as 'DB tier' isn't to thrilling now is it?

Example Answer:

Name: Sciz's tier!
Banlist: Scyther
New abilities: Flashfirenician - Technician + Flash Fire (Scizor only)
New Weather: Insect Apocolypse - Boosts all Bug types move's by +1

Of-course this is a very peculiar example and would most likely not be taken into consideration so keep your answers reasonable.

Make sure to upvote the answers you would like to see in the tier. If an answer has some aspects hat you'd like to see and others you would pop a comment on it saying what you'd like to see. Posting a suitable answer on this thread will get you a point on the server because I need all the suggestions I can get.

Thanks for your input!

New Weather

Smog: all Pokemon except Poison and Steel take damage under Smog. Boosts poison moves by 20%, reduces Fairy moves by 20%, Toxic's accuracy becomes 100%, Hurricane does 50% more damage and Thunder's accuracy drops to 50%. Aromatherapy clears the field of Smog if used by a grass type Pokemon. Boosts the Special Defence of Poison Pokemon. Moonlight, Morning Sun and Synthesis will only recover 1/4 HP. Weather Ball changes into Poison type. Harvest's chances of restoring a berry are dropped to 25%.

Mildew: ups the power of Bug, Dark and Water type moves by 50%, lowers the power of Grass and Fire type moves by 50%. Dry Skin activates under Mildew and will restore 1/16 of health. Flying Pokemon are unaffected by the power boosts/ drops. Moonlight, Morning Sun and Synthesis will only recover 1/4 HP. Weather Ball changes into Bug type.

Rain (reworked): prevents Self-destruct and Explosion.

Acid Rain: hybrid weather; happens when a Pokemon with Drizzle and Smog enter the field simultaneously, or when Rain Dance and Smog are used on the same turn. Fairy, Grass and fire types moves are reduced by 50%, Poison and Water type moves are boosted by 50%, all Pokemon except Poison & Steel take damage. Growth will be unusable under Acid Rain. Moonlight, Morning Sun and Synthesis will only recover 1/4 HP. Weather Ball changes into a dual type move, Poison/ Water. Does not activate Hydration, and Pokemon with Dry Skin will take damage unless Poison type. Harvest's chances of restoring a berry are dropped to 25%.
Acid Rain does not happen if either Smog or Rain is up and the other weather is introduced afterwards.

New Abilities

Panic: causes all Pokemon on the field to have a 20% chance of selecting a move at random, disobeying their trainer's directions. Pokemon with Own Tempo are immune.

Paradox: Causes certain non-damaging moves to have the opposite effect, e.g. when Taunt is used on or by a Pokemon with Paradox, it will cause the Pokemon to only be able to use non-damaging moves.

Solar panel: Dry Skin for Drought; restores 1/8 of health in harsh sunlight and grants immunity to Solarbeam, instead absorbing it as +25% of health.

Pollinate: Adaptability for Bug Pokemon. Boosts a Bug STAB from x1.5 to x2. {Outside of battle effect} More likely to produce eggs at a daycare.

Pollution: Smog's corresponding ability; summons Smog for 5 turns.

Acid Cloud: boosts evasion by 20% in Smog and Acid Rain.

Blight: Restores 1/16 health in Smog and Acid Rain. Outside of Smog and Acid Rain, has a 30% flinch chance when the opposing Pokemon makes contact with a Pokemon that has Blight.

Fester: Mildew's corresponding ability; summons Mildew for 5 turns.

Clammy: boosts evasion by 20% in Mildew.

Seepage: restores 1/8 of health every turn in Mildew.

Slippery soles: boosts speed by x1.5 in Mildew.

New Items

Toxic Waste: extends the duration of Smog from 5 to 8 turns.

Mouldy Rock: extends the duration of Mildew from 5 to 8 turns.

New Moves

Contaminate: summons Smog for 5 turns.

Mildew: summons Mildew for 5 turns.

Dr Dude · Answer 2 · 2014-02-25T13:57:55+0000

all pokemons With unreleased hidden abilities can have them

what about this D/P Battle mode called "tag Battles"?

enter image description here

trainer 1         trainer 3
             vs        
trainer 2         trainer 4

so you Battle in doubles With Your partner against two other trainers. i think this could be a fun and challenging mode as you dont know what Your opponent is thinking, and i haven't seen it on any PS servers before...

Flafpert · Answer 3 · 2014-02-25T13:19:37+0000

Reduced Hax Clause:
Brightpowder and Quick Claw are banned.
Due to these items relying solely on luck, I believe they should be treated as OHKO moves or Evasion moves, which are already banned.

Move: Hidden Force
Various type
Physical Attack
Power 60
Accuracy 100
PP 15 (max. 24)
A unique attack that varies in type and intensity depending on the Pokémon using it.
Hidden Force is basically Hidden Power but physical, allowing physical Pokemon to experience the same coverage as Special ones.

Item
Ancient Rune
Extends the duration of Trick Room, Wonder Room, Magic Room, Gravity, Taunt and Tailwind by 3 turns.
This item would make these normally quirky moves a force to be reckoned with, without letting them dominate the the competitive field.

Status Alignment X
The user's Special Attack is halved, and the afflicted lose 12.5% of its HP each turn
A special Burn, designed to even the playing field between physical and special attackers whilst also boosting the Normal type. This would be caused by such moves as Dizzy Punch, Slam, Flash and a 'Will-O-Wisp-y' like move (similar PP, Acc and such.)
Really, I don't know what could cause gradual weakening and loss of mental capacity, so if anyone have any ideas for the logic of this condition, leave a suggestion.

PsychicX1 · Answer 4 · 2014-02-26T18:45:38+0000

How about instead of making up things that are pretty stupid, make things that can change the Metagame for both the Opponent and the User.. Fog setter. I'm shocked no one has suggested this idea, nothing beats this except for Trick room setters. Honestly some of these suggestions are just asking for complaints in the future, thus ending up banned. Or just really stupid. New Pokemon=No no btw. Another good one not suggested is the idea of no Team Preview in Gen VI Battles like Gen IV. That makes lower Tier Pokemon like Aerodactyl way more a threat. This suggestion is only used in things like Random battle, so I can suggest this. Another is to take say... the Gen I Metagame, and bring it to Gen VI. This will divide the Special Stats into one. With this, the Metagame will be completely changed, and some Pokes will be banned easily. This will be a very fun Metagame to play with. Lastly, the idea from the past. Extending the stats of currently weak Pokemon.. Only slightly so that it has more use with what was said before. Like a buff of like 25 points in Shuckle's base HP will help it a lot. These are as good as you're gonna get in suggestions.

Oh, and add an Ability that can make the opponent get the opposite of stat gains/losses. Like Contrary, but for the opponent. That will definitely change some things like Bisharp.

Oh, and a PERMANENT WEATHER TIER FOR GEN VI!!! That will be a greeeaaaatttttt Metagame to play with Pokemon like Heliolisk and Noivern!!

Sum Up(For the Lazy)
~ A Pokemon that can set up the Fog Weather
~ No Team Preview in Gen VI Battles
~ Gen I Metagame statistics in Gen VI Battles(Special Stats form into one)
~ Boost stats of weaker Pokemon to make them much stronger, for OU use. Depends on Pokemon

The others are easily readable lol.

Free-For-All!

In this battle mode, it's every man (or woman) for themselves, fighting until there is only one left. Basically, it's 1vs1vs1vs1, 4 players each with 3 pokemon each, going for each other. Many alliances. Much betrayal. Such fun. Very wow.

Standard Smogon OU tier bans. (Could be made into different tiers)

Recovery Clause: Only allowed 1 Pokemon with a recovery move such as Roost, Rest and Recovery. Passive moves such as Leech Seed and Drain Punch are not included in this category.

Protect Clause: Only 1 of your Pokemon may have the moves Protect, Detect, Spiky Shield or Kings Shield in it's moveset.

The Recovery Clause is an "official" rule made by Duncan Knee Deep, a Youtuber who invented this battle mode. The Protect rule was also part of the "official" rules, as part of the Recovery Clause, I just made them different so there was no confusion. They are there to keep battles relatively quick instead of just Protect then Recover, rinse and repeat. For examples of FFA battles, here is Duncan Knee Deep's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/DuncanKneeDeep

Kronos · Answer 6 · 2014-02-25T14:10:15+0000

EVmons: Pokemon can have up 3EV spreads sorta like Hackmons. Like this.

Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd

Hurricane and Thunder have 100% accuracy.

Steam Rain
Technically a dual weather, If two Pokemon with Drought, Drizzle are sent in at the same time on the same turn, this weather will start. Or when Rain Dance and Sunny Day are used on the same turn.Fire and Water moves are powered up by 50%. Fire and Water types will heal themselves by 12.5% each turn. Weather Ball is Fire type (can be dual with water if possible). All Pokemon except Water and Fire types are hurt 15% each turn. Pokemon with the ability Dry Skin will not heal or lose any HP.

Sir Dan · Answer 10 · 2014-02-26T19:50:24+0000

I don’t really see any of the terrain moves used at all, so I’d actually like to see some of them used.

New terrain moves:

Lava Terrain- Boosts Fire type moves used by grounded Pokémon by 50% for 5 turns. Also restores any grounded Fire type Pokémon's HP by 1/16 each turn. All types that aren't Fire type lose 1/16 of their HP each turn if they are grounded. Flying type Pokémon, Pokémon with the Ability Levitate, Pokémon holding an Air Balloon, or Pokémon affected by Magnet Rise or Telekinesis are unaffected. If a grounded Pokémon has the Flash Fire Ability yet is not part Fire type they will still recover 1/16 of their HP per turn.

Poisonous Terrain- Boosts Poison type moves used by grounded Pokémon by 50% for 5 turns. Also restores any grounded Poison type Pokémon's HP by 1/16. Any grounded Pokémon that is caught up in Poisonous Terrain that is not Poison or Steel type, will be infected with the Poisoned Status Condition regardless if they were in battle before Poisonous Terrain was in effect. Again Flying type Pokémon, Pokémon with the Ability Levitate, Pokémon holding an Air Balloon, or Pokémon affected by Magnet Rise or Telekinesis are unaffected.

New Item: Environmental Change- Extends all Terrain Moves from 5 to 8 turns.

Special Effects

There should be special effects in the DB tier, like in the month's tier on PS. Therefore, I have some ideas. Here are they:

" A foggy cloud covers the battlefield. All moves have x0. 8 accuracy for turns!"
" A weather was launched on the battlefield!(The weather) started for turns! "
'' Particles of some object are floating through the air! All Pokemon lose 12% of their health!"
" A strengthening scent blows through the air! All Pokemon get x1. 5 atk for turns!"
" A soothing melody was played! All Pokemon heal 25% of their health!"
" A brain refreshing warmth hung through the air! All Pokemon get x1. 5 Sp. Attack for turns!"
"A foggy mist covers the battlefield!

Special Effect Concept:
I will add more some time. How this works is that one effect will take place every 1-7 turns and will announce for how many turns the effect will stay.

New Weathers

Nightfall:
Dark, Psychic and Ghost types do x1. 3 more damage and have x1. 3 speed. Fairy and Poison types get damaged (6%). Due to darkness, all moves (except for Dark, Psychic and Ghost types) have x0. 9 power and their accuracy is 0.8%. Special moves do x1.2 damage and physical moves do normal damage.

Cloudy:
All Flying types don't take recoil damage and their moves cannot miss. Same goes for Normal types. Their physical moves and speed are x1.25. Ground, Rock and Fighting types have x1. 1 speed, but their moves do x0. 75 damage. Normal and Flying type's accuracy is x0.9.

New Abilities

Hyper Charge: The user cannot recharge, for e.g. Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Nightwisher: Summons Nightfall for 5 turns.

Cloud Summoner: Summons Cloudy for 5 turns.

Sharpened Mind: Doubles the user's Special Attack.

Defender: User's Defense and Special Defense is x1. 3.

Night Watcher: All of the user's stats are x1. 15 in Nightfall.

Cloud Warrior: All of the user's stats are x1. 15 in Cloudy.

Terminator: All hazards are removed from your side of the battlefield when the Pokemon enters.

Prioritize: All of this Pokemon's attacking moves have +1 priority.

New Moves

Sword Strike: Physical, 90 base power, Steel type move. 30% chance to make the target flinch.

Cloud Rise: Status. Summons Cloudy for 5 turns.

Fall of Night Status. Summons Nightfall for 5 turns.

Wish Blast: Special, 70 base power, Fairy type move. Heals 30% of your health.

Fist Pump: Status. Raises Attack by 3 stages, like Tail Glow.

Sizzling Punch Physical, Duel type move, Fire and Ice, 50 power each. 10% chance to freeze or burn.

Mystic Winds: Special, Duel type move, Flying and Water, 45 power each, 30% chance to boost user's Special Attack by 1.

Terminating Blow: Physical, Duel type move, Bug and Fighting, 20 power each, boosts user's Attack by 1 and terminates all hazards from your side of the battlefield.

Fiery Wash: Special, Duel type move, Fire and Water, 50 power each, no additional effect.

Aromatic Odor: Status, All stat changes are reversed.

Duel type move concept:
Duel type moves are moves with 2 types, they hit twice, once for each type. If it has a chance to do something, it will get the chance to do it twice.

Banlist

Serene Grace

Post in the comments about banning something and I might add it.

New Status

I will add one in some time.

I put a lot of time and effort into this post, so:

New Weather

Confusion Wind Confusion Wave is a wind that makes a weird noise that gives the Pokémon a 25% chance to get confused in the end of every turn. Pokémon with Own Tempo and those who are under a substitute can't get confused. Moves that creates this weather are Confuzze all Pokémon that can learn confusion can learn Confuzze aswell.

The Unknown Weather The Unknown Weather is a strange weather. It raise/reduce a random stat 2 stages in the end of everyturn. The Pokémon Unknown gets a buff here. Unknown's stats cant be reduced in this weather and if you use a stat reducing move it raises the stat that should have been lowered. Moves that creates this Weather are ??? "???" is a move that Unknown can learn.

Loud Storm Loud Storm is a strom that produces much noise therefore Pokémon can't hear when the trainer screams the move that the Pokémon is going to use. The chance that the Pokémon is going to use wrong move is 50% chance. If the Pokémon cant hear what move it is going to do it just randomly attacks with one of its 4 moves.

My Favorite

Devolve Rain Devolve Rain, is a type of rain. It was discovered recently by some scientists sent from Silph Co. at the institute on the large Mountain Delö. It can devolve Pokémon that get too much Devolve Rain on them. Devolve Rain rains over all Pokémon on the battlefield in the end of every turn giving them a stack of devolving. If a Pokémon gets 3 stacks of devolving they devolve. (Devolve is when a Pokémon evolve back to the Pokémon it once was. For example when a Pikachu gets 3 stacks of devolving it devolves into Pichu.) Of course a Pokémon can stay on the battlefield after it has got more than 3 stacks of devolving so you dont have to switch out but every 3 stacks of devolving the Pokémon devolves if the Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon ( Basic Pokémon is a Pokémon that has not yet evolved) it just get all of it's stats reduced by 1 stage.

Neutrality

All super effective and not very effective moves do neutral damage. This excludes any resistances or immunties created by ability such as levitate or thick fat. Immunities still do not damage.

Ban list: regular Smogon OU. (Lower tier version hopefully should follow suit)

Additional Bans: Shedninja, having more than 2 Levitate thick fat etc user on a tea, (having too many of these abilities would defy the point of the meta)

Please suggest improvement ideas

I'll add another Meta later

Abilities

Breaking Point: When the Pokemon's HP goes below 25%, they get a random stat increase

Exclusivity: The Pokemon's attack moves have to be STAB moves, but they get a 40% power bonus

Kidswagg

Wait no

Aggressive: The Pokemon can only use attacking moves, but they gain a 25% power bonus

Quick Thinking: The Pokemon can use two turn charge moves in one turn, but lowers a random stat when it does.

Reverse Order: Super Effective moves do 1.3x damage to this Pokemon, not 2x, but not very effective attacks do 0.8x damage, not 0.5x

Moves

Weather Move: Dark Abyss: Power up Ghost and Dark type moves, weakens Fairy and Normal type moves ( I will improve on this and add stuff, not enough time right now)

Kiss Of Death: Ghost Type move, base power of 65, accuracy of 100, has a 30% of confusion or paralysis

Execution: Dark Type moves, base power of 85, accuracy of 95, ignores stat changes

ShapeShift: Psychic Type moves, 45 BP, after hitting, move turns into the same type has opponents last move / opponents type (not sure yet)

I've got a load more to add, but low on time. Have fun

Just a note, not all these suggestions are meant to be together, with each potential idea being independent unless it is blatantly obvious one depends on the other existing

Tier:

Hacked Abilities:

I don't know about you guys but I really loved this tourney and format. Similar to the Abilty Switch concept but any pokemon can have any ability, with a handful of banned options (Magic Guard, Huge Power, Wonder Guard, etc.) and certain pokemon (Slaking, Archeops, Regigigas, etc.) as well as any ubers pokemon are banned.

Abilities:

Incinerate/Combustiate: All normal type moves become fire type moves and are boosted 1.3x in power (Fire type pixilate)

Potentially Good Recipients:

A Fire Type

More specific:

Arcanine
Rapidash
Flareon

Irritate: The opponent is instantly angered when this pokemon switches in, alowing it only to attack. Basically an auto-induced Taunt on the first turn in

Freedom: All teammates are removed of primary status conditions (sleep, poison, burn, toxic poison, freeze paralysis) when this pokemon enters the field

Fabulous Pebbles (name suggestions welcome): Rock type gale wings

Steel-toed: All kicking moves (Mega Kick, Blaze Kick, Jump Kick, etc.) are boosted 20%

Hasten: The charging turn for any move (Sky Attack, Skull Bash, Freeze Shock, etc.) is removed.

Shiftiness; Evasion boosted in Darkness

Nightlife: HP recovered slightly in Darkness (like Rain Dish)

Hidden Hurry: Speed doubled in darkness

Shadow Summon: Darkness begins when the pokemon enters the field

Field Conditions

Darkness: This concept seems to be highly liked by the posts here. This is just my personal flare on it. In Darkness, Sucker Punch always hits if the user attacks or not. In this light, the moves of Dark, Ghost and Psychic types never miss. Moonlight's recovery is amplified, while Synthesis and Morning Sun loose power. Darks, Ghosts and Psychics also gain access to Darkness related abilities, making these types the primary abusers, just as Fire and Grass uses Sun, Water, Electric, and Flying use Rain, Ground Rock and Steel uses Sand and Ice, just Ice, uses Hail.

Shock Trap: Stealth Rock with an electric typing. It gets those pesky spikes avoiding flying types while also getting the extremely powerful water types and giving Electrics, a typically offensive type, a cool little support trick.

Moves:

Shock Trap: As explained above, a one time setup Electric type status move that deals Electric type based damage on switch ins, with a base of 12.5%. PP 20 at base, 32 max. Accuracy 100. Learned primarily by electric types, but is also learned by Pokemon shown to have strong electric abilities (learns Thunderbolt/Thunder/Thunder-wave, has Lightningrod/Motor Drive, etc.)

Sundown: Darkness is summoned. Status Move. PP 10 (max 16). Acc: 100

Enter name here: Attack and Special Defense are boosted one stage

Inverse of Enter name here Special Attack and Defense are boosted one stage
