>>53907879Does anyone have any ideas for balancing all the gimmicks against eachother? National Dex in smogon is a clusterfuck of astronomical proportions and I was thinking about merging mega evolution, terrastalization, and z moves into a single resource. Think like how scarlet and violet had a hard cap of one terrastalization per battle but it also has a limited number of charges that refil at the Pokémon center. It’s a balancing mechanic for the story.
I’d like to balance things out as a single gimmick use per person per battle but it’s kind of impossible to balance z moves and mega evolution (which take hold items but have a lot of power) against Tera types or any other hypothetical addition to the rules that don’t take hold items but are weaker (well in practice Tera types can out perform megas in some situations but you see the point). Basically i’m trying to find a way to make everything work using when mega forms and their +100 BST + new abilities exist.
