Violet Rules

Introduction

Violet is an RBY mod created by lilyhollow! Broadly speaking, the mod includes some quality of life changes, and buffs to various pokemon and moves. It is balanced in such a way that it should be viable to start playing the tier with an RBY OU team with minimal adjustments. Not every fully evolved Pokemon is included - only those distinct enough are present, to reduce the amount of memorisation required when learning the tier.

Mechanics Changes

• Team Preview is on.
• Freeze, Sleep, Species and Cleric clause are kept.
• The type chart is modernized: Ghost is super-effective against Psychic; Ice is not very effective against Fire; Bug is NVE against Poison; and Poison is neutral against Bug.
• 100% accurate moves no longer have a 1 in 256 chance to miss.
• Recovery moves and Rest no longer fail when 255 or 511 HP below max HP.
• Body Slam can paralyze Normal-types, and Thunderbolt/Thunder can paralyze Electric-types.
