    It is with great pride that I announce the adaptation of the 6th Generation of Pokemon into the Ultra RPG!

    Capture the new Pokemon found only in the Kalos Region! Battle using the new rulesets and type advantages. Discover the wonders of Fairy Pokemon both in and out of battle!

    It's the moment we've all been waiting for since X and Y were released!


    Additionally, we are advancing the current gym structure to the new gym system as discussed in the Trainer's Court. There will be 6 gyms per region, resulting in a total of 36 gyms (not including the Orange Islands). Additionally, there will be two gyms of each type, so rejoice you Dark and Fairy enthusiasts!


    I joined the Ultra RPG during the 2nd Generation of rules. We have come a very long way since then and I'm excited to see where we go from here. A new era of adventure awaits!

    When you say no wildcards, does that negate the classic rule, allowing off-type Pokemon in a gym if they had a pre-evolution that fit the typing, excluding the Eevee family (Tyranitar in ground because of Pupitar, etc.)?

    No Togekiss for you lol, especially considering nothing in the Togekiss line is Normal typed now.

    If it were allowed then it'd probably be fitting to allow Dark have Gyarados and Dragon have Ampharos for the Megas. Which is also stupid. Stupid.

    Yes it negates that.

    No that's stupid.

    No they aren't.

    You can choose it's size when you capture it, and it's set permanently.

    Pointing out a few of the mechanic changes to note.

    • Gems now only provide a 30% boost, as opposed to the earlier 50%.
    • Sound-based moves bypass Substitute.
    • Hidden Power is now 60 BP.
    • Defog now removes entry hazards on both sides of the field.
    • Incinerate burns away Gems.
    • Toxic has perfect accuracy when used by a Poison-type, ignoring even the invulnerable portion of Fly and Dig.
    • Whirlwind/Roar is now unaffected by accuracy and evasion.
    • Poison Fang now has a 50% chance to inflict bad poison, as opposed to the earlier 30%.
    • Quick Guard/Wide Guard no longer fail when used consecutively.

    Since people apparently weren't aware, the offline battle calculator is not ready, and I cannot guarantee it's accuracy.

    For the time being, the online calc at URPG Reffing Calculator should be used.

    EDIT: Except I just found a weird-ass bug. Working on it.

    EDIT 2: Bug fixed.

    Does Defog remove LS/Reflect/Safeguard/etc. from your own side too?

    Also, is the Mega RING obtainable by Pick Up, because that's within the price range of stuff that is.
