Impersonators V2
Welcome to Impersonators V2! The idea of this Pet Mod is for a Pokémon to "replace" another Pokémon, taking some of their key features in the process.
When a Pokémon "replaces" or "impersonates" another Pokémon, they gain any signature moves, items, or forms that the one being impersonated may have. The typing, category and secondary effects of these signature moves can change, but BP, PP, and Accuracy are set in stone. Signature abilities follow the same rules, you may change their type or category (Poison-type Fairy Aura clone or Special Pure Power clone), but not their effects. The Pokemon being impersonated also gives all its abilities, and optionally its typing, replacing the secondary type of the impersonator. The Pokémon keeps their movepool and their stats proportially to each other, but not their Base Stat Total.
-Stat Rules-
The stats follow a simple formula:
Result Stat = Impersonator Stat * Impersonated BST / Impersonator BST
Stats have to be rounded up or down to match the exact target BST. As for the stats of forms, they work like in other Mods like Mix and Mega and Fusion Evolution. In each slate with a form, the stat changes will be posted to avoid confusion.
Use this calculator to calculate stats, mostly mandatory for submissions:
-Type Rules-
The list of Pokémon with obligatory changes will be these:
You can replace the secondary type of the impersonator with the primary OR secondary type of the impersonated. If they have obligatory changes, you can replace either the primary or secondary type of the impersonator with the primary type of the impersonated.
Example: Bug/Normal impersonating Fire/Fairy
If Fire/Fairy isn't a special mon, results can be Bug/Normal, Bug/Fairy or Bug/Fire.
If Fire/Fairy is a special mon (has obligatory changes), results can be Fire/Normal or Fire/Bug.
Here's a colored explanation:
That is a lot to take in, but I hope you can understand. I copied most of this from the original thread so please bear with me.

Some special Pokémon have their primary typing, such as Starters, Electric Rodents, Regional Rodents, Regional Birds, Regional Bugs and Fossils. Speaking of which...The Impersonators Tool (Dark Mode here) is ready with all the things (Let me know if something needs to be added/changed)

-Miscellaneous-
- The council is currently me, Double Iron Bash and r1dude.
- The Pet Mod will be slate based. Every slate, the council will post a few Pokémon to get replaced.
- Only Pokemon that get replaced are allowed to be used.
- Dynamax and Gigantamax are banned. Impersonator Pokémon will get Gigantamax Forms if the impersonated one has it, but those forms will only be usable in an Ubers side-meta.
- Megas, Primals, Ultras and signature Z-Moves are returning, but not regular Z-Moves.
- Stats cap at 255. If an impersonator has a stat that is over 255 (thus doesn't meet the impersonated BST target), it is forbidden to be used.

With that out of the way, enjoy the mod!
