New version of ORAS gets released in preparation of Z
>Legendary Pokemon are now played as 10 levels lower than other Pokemon when in a competitive format.
>Life Orb and STAB now count as a separate damage modifier which acts the same as a boost, rather than enhancing other boosts.
>Leftovers recovery now starts at 6% and loses 1% per turn
>Substitute now costs a base 25% of total HP and increases by 5% every time it is used during a battle.
>Toxic and Will-o-wisp now have 80% accuracy. Toxic and Will-o-wisp will now always hit on a subsequent turn if it was used the previous turn.
>Only one Pokemon in a player's party can be offensively slept at a time
>Evasion now only has three stages - 100% accuracy, 85% accuracy and 70% accuracy
>Critical hits have been reworked. There are now three stages of critical chance exclusive to moves that do not boast a higher critical chance: +0: 0%, +1: 4%, +2: 8%. Pokemon gain stages by using a move successively i.e the first attack a Pokemon uses has a 0% chance of landing a critical hit, but if the Pokemon were to use the attack again it will gain a stage in critical. The attacks do not have to be successive, they are tallied per battle. Attacks which boast a higher critical chance remain fixed at 12.5% as they are now.
>Grass Pokemon now heal for 1/8th of their HP in rain and sun
>Baton Pass now split into two skills: Pokemon which carry Quiver Dance now have Metamorphasis which has the same effect as Baton Pass but also passes the pokemon's type. All other Baton Pass users now have -1 priority on Baton Pass.
>Bug type attacks are no longer resisted by Ghost and Fairy. Bug type attacks are now super effective against Fairy.
>Unown can now learn all hidden power moves. Technician replaces levitate as Unown's ability.
