The current state of PRO’s competitive scene could be significantly improved with a few key additions and changes. Here’s a structured look at what could truly revitalize the metagame: 1. Encourage Creativity The metagame feels limited due to a lack of strategic variety. Adding certain items would open up new playstyles and mind games: Eject Pack – enables momentum-based strategies after stat drops Eject Button – punishes contact and allows reactive switching These additions would reward innovation and reduce repetitive team structures. 2. Reduce RNG Impact Too many matches are decided by chance rather than skill. Introducing tools that mitigate RNG would improve competitive integrity: Protective Pads – avoids contact-based effects (like Static, Flame Body) Punching Glove – boosts punching moves and removes contact Close Combat – reliable, strong move without RNG reliance Less RNG = more skill expression. 3. Break Defensive Cores Bulky cores dominate too easily. We need stronger tools to punish passive play: Nasty Plot – boosts special sweepers Weather Ball – improves weather-based offense Psychic Fangs – breaks screens and hits hard Close Combat – pressures defensive Pokémon effectively Offense needs better ways to break through stall and balance Pokémon Impact Analysis Wouldn’t Change Much (But Would Be Fun) These Pokémon wouldn’t reshape the meta, but would add flavor and diversity: Buzzwole Tatsugiri Galar Pokémon (in general) Stakataka Grafaiai Would Partially Change the Metagame These would shift team building and introduce new cores or threats: Dondozo Toxapex Primarina Glimmora Celesteela Quaquaval Skeledirge Incineroar Galar Birds (Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno) Poison-type Legendaries Would Completely Change the Metagame These additions would redefine the competitive landscape: Kartana Gholdengo Ceruledge Tapus (terrain setters) Rillaboom Pecharunt Meowscarada Galarian Slowking Extra: Terrain Seeds
