Welcome to All Type Terrain, a Pet Mod that seeks to give all types their own Terrain moves. That's not all - one lucky Pokémon that's considered C rank or below in the OU Viability Rankings will receive a Surge ability that automatically summons the terrain when they enter the battlefield. The Guardian Deities are all considered A Rank Pokémon in no small part due to their Terrain summoning abilities, so it's a good opportunity to give some forgotten Pokémon a good buff. Now, Grass, Electric, Fairy and Psychic already have their own Terrains, so we'll be deciding on the other 14 types.
Questions and Answers
What are the Stages?
Stage 1: Give every type 1 Terrain, and 1 summoning ability
Stage 2: Establish if any are either broken or lacklustre, and change accordingly
Stage 3: Create abilities for Pokemon (B ranked or lower) that interacts with the terrain in some way (like Grass Pelt and Surge Surfer)
Repeat from Stage 2
Stage 4: Play and test to see if any are broken / underwhelming and test accordingly.
Why do only C Rank or below Pokémon get the surge abilities?
To give forgotten Pokémon a chance to shine. Also, they could end up broken on stuff that's already a top tier threat.
Do all terrains have to power up their respective attacks?
Not at all - Misty Terrain doesn't.
What will the Flying-type Terrain effect?
Pokemon that are part Flying-type, have the ability Levitate or are holding an Air Balloon. All other Terrains only affect Pokémon on the ground.
Banlist
OU Banlist, OU Clauses. Nothing else is banned yet.
