What is balanced HAckmons?
Balanced Hackmons is an alternative tier offered on pokemon showdown. While not that many people choose to play Balanced Hackmons, it is an extremely interesting tier. The rules are this: almost none. While most tiers are based off the Pokemon offered in game, Balanced Hackmons is based off of what Pokemon can be hacked into the game. This means you can use any Pokemon, moves, EVs (252 in all stats), or ability.
The bans are as follows:
-Huge Power / Pure Power
-Wonder Guard
-Shadow Tag / Arena Trap (Magnet Pull is fair game though)
-Parental Bond
As you could imagine, this leaves many more options than are present in standard tiers. To add to the fun all clauses are abolished except for OHKO clause. This means you can use six arceus' with spore and minimize if you want to. However this is actually not that scary of a tactic because the tier has evolved to get around spore, through methods like Poison Heal and Magic Bounce. Our website is dedicated to mapping out this wonderful tier, finding what works best. This is the true sandbox tier of pokemon, there are no limits!
