No. LC isn't affected by cooldown and can be nominated for OMotM the next month. As for LCotM itself, we're probably not going to pick the same thing two months in a row. I could set an actual cooldown of three months for LCotM, I guess, which is half of the OMotM cooldown.

If a metagame idea is in the "everything else" section of the rejected metagames post in the index, is a variation of the idea allowed? for example, making a variation of hazards work on your primary type and changing it to work on the secondary type.
EDIT: also, do our posts in the 6 other metagames Cary onto Gen 7 for submitting metagames?

Why isn't there a permanent BH Doubles ladder? Gen 7 has a lot of cool new doubles abilities I'd like to experiment with (a pair of Dancers with Quiver Dance and Revelation Dance sound like fun).
I moved this question here. I've actually been thinking about adding BH Doubles as a challenge format. BH is the premier OM and it's about time it expanded to Doubles. Permanent ladder is definitely out of the question. BH Doubles hasn't established to itself to that level. Perhaps if it becomes successful this generation we can consider it.
We need usage stats first, but yes I think we should do those again.
252 SpA Choice Specs Water Bubble Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 342-403 (48.5 - 57.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
That broken enough for ya?
No. It's going directly to the voting stage with all the currently existing OMs. There are six OMs at the moment so there's no point having nominations.

Hi, I'm new to the OM community and I plan to be much more active here after my hiatus, but I just have one question that may be obvious, but I don't really seem to get it at all lol.
Thanks for your time to answer this question!
In the quote above, what does it mean to "reserve Viability Rankings"?
Thanks for your time to answer this question!
After the main post of a meta, the owner/council members may reserve the post(s) after it for resources, which they may add later by editing the said post.

When they reserve the post for resources, what is it for? Do they reserve it because they want to take manage the topic or something else? Sorry if there is something very obvious I'm not getting

Banned deucer.
basically, the first post of a metagame thread is usually an introduction to the meta's mechanics, rules, etc. the couple posts after that are "reserved" for key resources, such as sample teams and viability rankings. the reason for this is because they need to be as close to the beginning of the thread as possible so newcomers can access them easily. if you don't reserve said resources, you're gonna have to make them on, like, page 16, which is definitely not useful.

ohhhh, I get it now, wow that was actually really obvious, thanks for the better explanation Sobi!
so, i've been messing around with a metagame idea in my head, so, i go to post it on http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/gen-6-closed-submissions.368/ like the othermetas forums says, but it says i dont have "sufficient priveledges". help?

get on my level
That was for last gen, this is the SM om submissions subforum http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/om-submissions.398/
Probably. Once metas stabilize and we have resource threads up at least.
How would Battle Bond work put on any Pokemon? Would it be useless, would it give the same boosts as going from Greninja to Ash-Greninja?
It would be useless, as it's hard-coded to Ash Greninja. Same goes for Schooling and Disguise.
For Regigigas, Metagrossite is far and away the most common, but Aerodactylite and Pinsirite are usable. Golisopod is always Blue Orb. There will soon be a Mix and Mega Resources thread with Viability Rankings; look there in the future.
Thanks. Also, what makes mega Audino good in BH? I've seen it mentioned several times in the discussion thread.
It has excellent stats, and a good typing. Specifically, it's immune to common moves such as Core Enforcer, Spectral Thief, Ghost Judgment, and Moonghiest beam, and the only relevant move that hits it super effectively is Sunsteel Strike--in addition to a great resistance to Knock Off. Thus, it is difficult to take advantage of, and can run sets like Fur Coat to be a good physical wall and the best Mega Gengar check out there, or run a Water Absorb set and not fear switching in on Core Enforcer, or even just become a difficult-to-break status absorber with Poison Heal.
