NFE, or Not Fully Evolved is a metagame around the premise of only allowing pokemon that can still evolve. Unlike LC, this includes any pokemon that can use Eviolite, rather than just Stage 1 Evolutions.

Basic Strategy: Currently, in this new dawning era of NFE, Gen 8 has both blessed and cursed us with an array of powerful new tools, in mons such as Galarian Mr. Mime and Drakloak, as well as the cut of many old staples, such as Monferno, Servine, and Marshtomp. With Dynamax, teams are granted an amazingly powerful tool, allowing games to shift on a whim, with it even being discussed for being a banworthy mechanic. Additionally, many old powerhouses too strong for the Gen 7 NFE Metagame are yet again legal, such as Gurdurr, Rhydon, Doublade, and Piloswine, causing some discussion points on their legality. New threats such as the aforementioned Galarian Mr. Mime and Galarian Linoone also show incredible promise, and stand at the forefront of the new metagame in its current state.
