Inspired by the Mario & Luigi RPG series, this Pet Mod is designed for Doubles OU. Pairs of Pokemon team up here, and they've developed some unique strategies to take on the competition, including special synergies that give them an edge against their opponents. But in order to develop these strategies, they must first be paired. This is where we come in!
It's important to understand how the pair system works before you make your submissions. First thing to note is that, at the start of battle, a Pokemon must be sent out with its paired partner. In battle, when you switch out one Pokemon, the paired Pokemon is not switched out right away with it, but rather switches out at the end of that turn into the new Pokemon's partner. Because both Pokemon are needed to perform a Technique synergy, you cannot use it if one Pokemon is switching out. If both Pokemon switch out into Pokemon from different pairs, the second switch will determine which pair will be on the field at the end of the turn. If one Pokemon in a pair faints, the second Pokemon is no longer affected by its Strategy synergy, and can no longer use Technique synergies. Whenever it switches in, it will have a blank slot alongside it. However, the Pokemon can still be used until it faints.
The rules for submitting are simple:
1 ) Come up with a Pokemon pair! The best part is that this pair can be made up of any Pokemon not banned in Doubles OU (though, in some cases, certain Pokemon that are normally banned will be allowed), so feel free to make strong combos! Try and think of a pair that can synergize well on its own.
2 ) Your pair can be strong on its own, but what can really take the cake are the team synergies they can have. The first type of synergy is the Strategy synergy, which can be best described as an ability that affects both teammates. This does not replace the actual abilities of the Pokemon within the pair. The Strategy synergy can become essentially anything, so long as it retains some level of balance. For example, a pairing of Aggron and Blissey might have a Strategy like so:
"If Aggron would not faint from a physical attack aimed at Blissey, it takes the hit."
Be creative in how you make these, and think of what your pair would want the most from a Strategy synergy.
3 ) The second type of synergy is the Technique synergy. You create these by combining moves from both of the Pokemon's movepools that match at least one of their STABs. The Technique you make must match the type and category (
4 ) Once you have your pair and their synergies, it's time to submit the team! The format is as follows:
