Is this sarcasm? I know Arcanine is overhyped in UU, but does fire type extremespeed up its viability that much?The only good thing about Zygarde it's that it can beat Arcanine, you know, the best mon in the meta.

while i'm personally unsure if it's the best thing in the meta off of the top of my head, it does get access to intimidate to "increase" its bulk as well as will-o-wisp to cripple other espeeders, which definitely puts it over entei imoentei just seems flat-out better in that regard
Ur missing a few things on the koko and bulu department (unless they changed it) bulu is shiny locked, so no fairy stab and koko has to run timid for its shiny.Wow, thanks!
Let's look at some threats.
Zygarde used to be A+... in a meta where it didn't have Thousand Arrows. But with that move in its repertoire, hoo boy, it's gonna be even better. Possibly banworthy?
Koko now has its choice between Pixilate or Galvanize while still retaining the amazing Electric Surge. So basically AAA Koko but even better. Niiice.
Bulu can now opt for stronger Grass STAB without recoil or actual Fairy STAB.
Not having to rely on Stone Miss for a Rock move is always nice.
SD LAST RESORT, WOOOOOOOOO
I thought the shiny lock was removed though?Ur missing a few things on the koko and bulu department (unless they changed it) bulu is shiny locked, so no fairy stab and koko has to run timid for its shiny
Yeah, the metagame's rules eliminate shiny locking so that Pokémon aren't denied interesting move tech.I thought the shiny lock was removed though?
Worth mentioning that dark types are gonna be completely immune to your fairy stab and block your defog. And you're kinda deadweight under psychic terrain.For anyone worried about zygarde worry not, this gen we got disgusting tapu bulu as mentioned above which walls every set besides steelium z
if ur not a fan of bulu use whimsicott, sounds ridiculous but it has priority tri attack which almost alwayd ohko zygarde while being immune to dragon espeed and resists tarrows, not deadweight as it also provides defog/para support and beats noivern, salamence and fighting types too

normalize makes non-normal moves normal type, regulate makes normal type moves slightly stronger normal type moves - hence the different namesIsn't normalize a thing. So rather than. Regulate shouldn't it be normalize? Though regulate does sound better
Oh okay now this makes sense, thanksnormalize makes non-normal moves normal type, regulate makes normal type moves slightly stronger normal type moves - hence the different names
Unfortunately, la cucaracha is banned.Lopuuny-Mega? Zygarde? Noivern? Lando?

lol its lando gone

I'm not sure if you're aware, but tried playing this meta because it is currently OMOTM on the main server.... And I'm still having shiny lock problems. IDK, maybe they took you're original code or something? But I can't use any shiny locked pokemon with their shiny.Thanks for making me aware of this! That bug is fixed now, so shiny locking definitely seems removed now. If something else pops up let me know.
You also brought another bug to my attention unrelated to that second one you posted about, which is that event stuff was being tampered in other formats. That bug's fixed now too, just had to do some more stuff in order to avoid crosstalk.
In general I also made that block of the code a bit more specific as event crosstalk may also have been a problem (where events can cross with one another) but I'm not sure that would've been too big of an issue if at all.
Speaking of server bugs though, the typing thing was definitely affecting the whole server, as that wouldn't be something that Metagamiate would cause. I'd assume some other metagame there is causing it that modifies templates, but that's just me.
as for the shiny thing blame the client
according to PS's github, the issue should be fixed. I'll update the code in the OP with what's currently on PS for everyone else, though.I'm not sure if you're aware, but tried playing this meta because it is currently OMOTM on the main server....

this sounds correct to me, it would also get the 1.2x power boostFollowing the rules for type changes, and the existing precedent of how Revelation Dance works normally, I assume if Arcanine uses Burn Up followed by a normal-type move like Extreme Speed, its "Metagamiate" ability is supposed to turn that into a typeless move that doesn't get STAB and isn't resisted by anything?
attempted to replicate this bug and failed in both OU and Metagamiatebug spotted:
apparently trick-room wears off when there is a change in terrain( cause may be something else but there is a bug
