Substitutemons: every mon enters battle with Substitute up

Eggmons: each mon that has an egg group(s) (excluding Ditto) gains access to the egg moves of all other mons in its egg group(s)

DJmons: one of the mons on your team is the "DJ" and "sets the tune" for your team. this Pokemon is the first in your list and must come out first. the other 5 mons on your team are "Dancers" who "Dance" to the "Tune" the DJ started. the first status move the "DJ" uses is the "tune" and will reactivate when another mon on your team switches in. it will continue reactivating in this way until the "DJ" faints. also if the "DJ" is switched back in, it can change the "tune" by using a different status move.

Rivalmons: main series POkemon games usually come out in pairs with each game in a given pair having mons exclusive to it that wont appear in the other game in the pair. each of these "version-exclusive" mons has a counterpart that only appears in the opposite version. In this metagame, each "version-exclusive" mon gains access to the moves and abilities of its "counterpart"
