STABmons is a metagame in which Pokemon can use any move of their typing, in addition to the moves they can normally learn. This is aimed at giving resources and information for previous generations of STABmons, as well as a place to discuss these metagames.

:rb/tauros: RBY STAB :rb/snorlax:
Important Mechanics:
  • Rather than Special Attack and Special Defense stats, Pokemon simply have a Special stat that functions as both.
  • Items do not exist.
  • Sleep lasts for 0 to 6 turns. Also, a Pokemon cannot attack on the turn it wakes up. A Pokemon using Rest will wake up after 2 turns rather than 3.
  • If a Pokemon uses Rest while burned or paralyzed, it will retain the respective Attack or Speed drop until switching out. If a Pokemon uses an Attack or Speed boosting move while burned or paralyzed, respectively, the drops will be removed and the stat will raise as if no status was inflicted.
  • The probability of critical hits is determined by base Speed. The formula used is %CH = Base Speed x 100/512. Critical hits ignore all stat changes for both Pokemon, as well as the effects of Light Screen and Reflect. They also double the Level of user during damage calculations, meaning they deal around 1.95x damage at Level 100, but closer 1.5x at Level 5.
  • Bug is super effective against Poison, Poison is super effective against Bug, Ghost has no effect against Psychic, and Ice has normal effectiveness against Fire.
  • If a Pokemon KOes an opposing Pokemon or breaks a Substitute with Hyper Beam, it does not have to recharge the next turn.
  • A frozen Pokemon will not randomly thaw out.
  • The accuracy and critical hit rate of all moves is reduced by 0.4% (except Swift, which will never miss).
  • A poisoned or burned Pokemon loses 1/16 of its health rather than 1/8. Similarly, Leech Seed drains 1/16 of health rather than 1/8.
  • A Pokemon hit by a partial trapping move cannot attack for the duration of the attack. However, it can switch out of the partial trapping move.
  • Steel and Dark do not exist as types.
  • Night Shade and Seismic Toss hit everything, regardless of type.
  • If Explosion or SelfDestruct is used against a Pokemon behind a Substitute and breaks the Substitute, the user will not faint.
  • Roar and Whirlwind have no effect.
  • Haze removes major status conditions from the opponent.
  • Pokemon are immune to secondary status effects from attacks of their type. So, Normal-type can't be paralyzed by Body Slam, Ice-types can't be frozen, etc.
  • Counter misses if the last selected move's Base Power is 0, if the last move used by the opponent is not Normal- or Fighting-type (or is Counter), or if the last move used in battle (by either player) did no damage. Damage dealt is based on this move's damage, even if it was the Counter user who used it.
