Try to modify Pokemon metagame or mechanics to make all or nearly all Pokemon relevant, in just three steps. It doesn't matter if they're lesser or major changes.

Can you do it?

Messi picture because it's the first shit I found.

1. Remove IVs
2. Remove Megas (unless on super weak 'mons who need it)
3. Remove Smogon and Verlisify
There, I fixed it
>>
GameFreak introduces a balance patch that makes all pokemon viable in some way, shape, or form.
>>
>>26887900
Introduce a new battle mode.

In this battle mode, you have an amount of points that you can't ever change, and you lose points when you put a pokemon in your battle box.

Stronger pokemon require more points, while weaker pokemon require less points.

This way, if you put one or two broken mons in your team, you'll only be able to fill the other spots with shitmons. Likewise, choosing weaker pokemon could mean your team's overall power is more balanced.

1. Pokemon with lower BST receive higher STAB multipliers. Higher bst would be better for coverage while lower bst would have higher damage from stab.
2. Your team of 6 has a total BST cap to force diversity. Using something with lower BST in one spot allows you to use something with higher BST in another spot.
>>
All Pokemon have same stats, natures, EVs, IVs, do nothing

That would be stupid because it would take away the point of evolution. If all non-evolved Pokemon were just as good as their evolved forms.

1. An item to change a Pokémon's 2nd typing at will
2. Do nothing
3. Proft
>>
Base stat overhauls.

That would just make the broken mons even more unstoppable

1. revisit base stats
2.give shit mons good moves
3.rework the type chart a little bit so types like bug suffer less
4.tone down the power creep
>>
>>26888133
This wouldn't work
>player A chose 2 'broken mons'
>player B chose 2
>player A has a type advantage/main attack stat on weakest defensive stat/ability that trumps another for a mon reliant on its ability etc.
>the rest of the team isn't strong enough to bother the 'broken ones'
One person wins simply because of what they picked, and would also lose half the time for the same reason(s) in reverse
>>
>>26887900
This is legitimately impossible.

For there to even be good pokemon there has to be bad pokemon.

No matter what mechanic you change there will always be mons that stand above others in your new meta
>>
Step 1: redo base stats of all Pokemon
Step 2: redo types of all Pokemon
Step 3: throw out my Pokemon games and play yokai watch because it's still better

I dont think they should remove IV's but they should change them to be something like a 1-5 value but then stats always have a cap of say 20 or something right.

So for example MewTwo could be:

HP: 4
ATK: 3
DEF: 2
SPA: 5
SPD: 2
SPE: 4

But like Electrode would be like:

HP: 3
ATK: 3
DEF: 4
SPA: 4
SPD: 1
SPE: 5

and then they'd just be balanced around their Ability and moveset.

some group tried this and it basically ends up with teams using most of the same OU shit they did before but with a level 1 geodude as a stealth rock setter
